[VX] I got sunbeams in my menu....

[Saschb2b]

Hello Board!

I use the mog_menu and changed it to transparency.
Looks cool and now I can use the power of .png!
BUT. If I use picture like sunbeams, fog etc. on the map
They are shown in my menu, too 
Here a picture

And here my changed part of the code added just a few lines.

The rest in normal.
I make these changes cause Moghunter told me to bring the transparency to work.
Moghunter:

Just copy and paste.



class Scene_Menu   
  alias mog_start start
  def start 
      mog_start
      @spriteset = Spriteset_Map.new
      @menu_layout.z = 1
      @menu_com.z = 2
      @menu_select.z = 3       
  end       
  alias mog_terminate terminate
  def terminate
    mog_terminate
    @spriteset.dispose
  end 
end

So how can I get the sunbeams to the background as the moving character and not in the foreground.
Hope you understood what i wrote cause I'm German XD and thanks if you try to help me.

Kannst du mir sagen, was ist das .z für die Sonnenstrahlen in den Sonnenstrahlen Skript? Die .z ist die Reihenfolge der Grafiken auf dem Bildschirm.

Can you tell me what the .z is for the sunbeams in the sunbeam script? The .z is the order of graphics on the screen.

[Saschb2b]

Das ist kein script ^^
Das ist einfach ein paralleles Event mit dem Inhalt:
Show Picture Befehl und dann eben das Sunbeam Bild ausgewählt.
Normal wird das ja auch nicht angezeigt. Es tauchte erst auf als ich das Menü
transparent gemacht hatte. Dann war es ganz vorne im Vordergrund... und nicht
wie ich gehofft hatte als Background vom Menü.

[Mr_Wiggles]

Ich schätze seine Show Bild, so würde die Z 200 + das Bild Zahl sein.

I'm guessing its show picture so the z would be 200 + the picture number.

[Saschb2b]

heißt? Was sollte ich jetzt ändern damit es nicht im Vordergrund ist?

means? What should I change to make it not shown in the foreground?

[Mr_Wiggles]

Your z in this posted section..

class Scene_Menu   
  alias mog_start start
  def start
      mog_start
      @spriteset = Spriteset_Map.new
      @menu_layout.z = 1
      @menu_com.z = 2
      @menu_select.z = 3       
  end       
  alias mog_terminate terminate
  def terminate
    mog_terminate
    @spriteset.dispose
  end
end


make them like 300 something, this should go well over the picture z.
IE. 301, 302, 303

[edit] you might have to do that edit to all the windows in the menu.

[edit2] oh you just wanna get rid of the beams all together?

[Saschb2b]

Works! Thanks!

[Mr_Wiggles]

your welcome, but zylos also new what was going on, you should thank him as well.

[Saschb2b]

oh sry! You're right. Thank you, too!!
