Window Sprites
Version: 2.0.1


Introduction
This simple script lets you tag sprites to a window, when they are tagged it automatically updates/disposes/moves with the window.


Screenshots
Take a sprite and add it to a window. There is your screenshot right there.


Demo
For a demo of this script in action see the following

Animated Gradient Bars

State Cycling


Script
Ok, ok I'll spare the families this time.

Instructions
Add Above Main

Then in any window class (By this I mean any child of Window_Base) just do this:

Code:
@window_sprites <<
.tag(

where is a Sprite object

and window is the window you want to tag the sprite to

NEW types have been added

to change the type of tagging used on a sprite just call
.sprite_type = type

where type is either content, content2, cover, border, background, background2 tagged

content and contents2 are the same except contents2 is positioned higher than content
content.z = window.z + 1 contents2.z = window.z + 2

cover is like contents but is positioned over the window
cover.z = window.z + 3

border is like cover but it can be positioned outside the contents of the window

background is like contents but is positioned below the window
background2 is like background but it is positioned below background
background.z = window.z, background2.z = window.z - 1

tagged is just a tagged sprite to a window you are free to position it anywhere

Also the default for all sprites is content

Note you can also add other objects to the window sprite array, but the object you push must respond to methods x=, y=, z=, visible=, opacity=
if you define a method called sprite_type within the object's class you can set the type of tagging used, but if you don't define it the script will use content tagging.


FAQ
Note: Permission granted by Trickster to post:
Quote:And if you post what you have now of my stuff then you don't have the latest versions. I'm too lazy/busy to post stuff.
As this is his material, it is deletable upon his request. Due to his current absense, no support is available. Please do not PM or eMail him for support.


Compatibility
Should be compatible with any other script

Requires SDK Part 1


Author's Notes
Please do not post saying you don't know what this does, if you can't figure it out then chances are you won't have a use for this. If you do post you will be getting a surprise from me (and it will not be a good surprise)


Terms and Conditions
Hey, I posted this publicly. You can use it. What do you expect? But if you do use it, I do expect you to spell my name correctly in your game. And yes you can use it in commercial games too.
