Parts of the Equip, Spells, and Status menus persist even after exiting the menu
12-27-2024, 04:19 PM
I've got this annoying bug with my 20-yr old project. I'm not sure when it actually started, but now that I've resumed working on it again, it's becoming a bit annoying (and another thing to worry about before I can move to beta testing with other people in Q4 2025)
Background:
I use the Ring Menu by XRXS, Dubealex, and updates by Hypershadow180 (I originally only used Dubealex's version, but found the updated one by Hypershadow180 on this forum and decided to switch to that)
Description of problem:
The ring menu works beautifully, always has since I implemented it in 2005. Unfortunately, whenever I exit from the Equip, Status, or Spells menus for a character, parts of the menu stay on the screen, sometimes for as long as 20 seconds before disappearing.
Here are a series of screenshots showing the persistent menus:
Earlier this month, I replaced it with Hypershadow180's version from 2006 in the hopes that it would fix the issue, but alas, the problem remains.
Additionally, opening the menu results in multiple instances of those menu elements floating around, which is very annoying when you are swapping equipment out for multiple characters:
I'm not quite sure if it is due to the ring menu itself, or if something else is causing the problem. I've got a custom status menu, but the spells and equipment are standard, yet all three are still affected. I should also point out that the Items menu does not seem to be affected. Only the Equip, Status, and Spells menus have the issue. I suspect this is because the Item menu doesn't open a menu for specific characters, compared to the other three menus.
Here's the ring menu script anyway:
