Show a Message in any Scene

I came up with this while trying to make a class to be used as the super class for all Scenes. To cut time down drasticly.


For now, just place this method into the Scene you want the show a message in -

Code:

def message(text = '')
        $game_temp.message_text = text.dup
        message = Window_Message.new
        loop do
            $game_temp.message_text = text.dup
            message.update
            message.refresh
            Input.update
            Graphics.update
            break unless !(Input.trigger?(Input::C) or Input.trigger?(Input::B))
        end
        message.dispose
    end

And just do -

Code:

message("Text in quotes goes here.")

And it will show the message just like it would from an event.

The reason this won't work with Scene_Title, is because $game_temp doesn't exist there and it would require a complete re-write (easy, but would take forever) of the Window_Message class.

 Oh, that's the long way.


Here's the short one.

Add a

Code:

@message_window = Window_Message.new

in the def main, and whenever you want a message to show, do this in any kind of definition that updates.

Code:

$game_temp.message_proc = Proc.new { @message_waiting = false }
$game_temp.message_text = "Text"
