Introduction

This script allow you make questions to the player. This script works similar to the Game Maker's function: show_question(string)

Features

• You just need to specify the question, but you can specify x, y, width and height of the window.
  
• The newlines are made automatic.
  

Script

Code:

#==============================================================================
# ** Show Question
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Slipknot
# 0.1
# 07.22.06
#==============================================================================

class Window_Question < Window_Selectable
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Constants
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Word_Yes = 'Yes'
  Word_No = 'No'
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Object Initialization
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def initialize(x, y, width, height, text)
    super(x, y, width, height)
    self.contents = Bitmap.new(width - 32, height - 32)
    @text, @commands = text, [Word_Yes, Word_No]
    @index, @cursor_width = 0, 40
    @commands.each do |word|
      w = contents.text_size(word).width + 8
      @cursor_width = [@cursor_width, w].max
    end
    @item_max = @column_max = 2
    x, y, @cx = 4, 0, ((width - 40) - @cursor_width * 2 - 32) / 2
    @text.scan(/[\w'"¿?¡!]+/).each do |word|
      w = contents.text_size(word + ' ').width
      if x + w > width - 40
        x = 4
        y += 32
      end
      contents.draw_text(x, y, w, 32, word)
      x += w
    end
    @cy = y + 32
    x = 0
    @commands.each do |word|
      contents.draw_text(@cx + x, @cy, @cursor_width, 32, word, 1)
      x += @cursor_width + 32
    end
  end
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Update Cursor Rectangle
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def update_cursor_rect
    x = @cx + @index * @cursor_width + (@index == 0 ? 0 : 32)
    cursor_rect.set(x, @cy, @cursor_width, 32)
  end
end

class Interpreter
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Show Question
  # string : the question
  # hash : the hash keys: 'x', 'y', 'width', 'height'
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def show_question(string, hash = {})
    x = hash['x'] ? hash['x'] : 160
    y = hash['y'] ? hash['y'] : 320
    width = hash['width'] ? hash['width'] : 320
    height = hash['height'] ? hash['height'] : 96
    window, result = Window_Question.new(x, y, width, height, string), nil
    until result != nil
      Graphics.update
      Input.update
      window.update
      if Input.trigger?(Input::C)
        $game_system.se_play($data_system.decision_se)
        result = window.index == 0
      elsif Input.trigger?(Input::B)
        $game_system.se_play($data_system.cancel_se)
        result = false
      end
    end
    Input.update
    window.dispose
    return result
  end
end

Instructions

You need paste the code before Main.
To store the result in the variable 1 do this in the call script command:

Code:

$game_variables[1] = show_question('some text')

To draw it on top of the screen:

Code:

show_question('some text', 'y' => 32)

Compatibility

This script must work with anything.
