[Request] Display Day, Month and Date of variable on screen

[TDS]

I've been watching this request for some days now.

I usually make most requests in requests forums to keep my skills good, and I've had this request done for a while now.

If the person who took it on doesnt mind, I could give you my version of it.

[Mitsarugi]

i don't mind if i could see it too please ^^

Here it is then.

Since it's a time system that was made with event, I decided to make it as simple as possible with basic commands such as disable, enable and update.

To disable and enable the date display, use this in a call script:

Disable:

Code Select Expand


disable_date_display


Enable:

Code Select Expand


enable_date_display


To update the contents of the date display use this in a call script.

Code Select Expand


update_date_display


To set the position of the date display use this in a call script.

Code Select Expand


set_display_date_position(X, Y)


X and Y are the positions on the screen.

Example:

Code Select Expand


set_display_date_position(300, 100)


Let me know if it works for you or want anything changed and have a nice day.

[Palsa]

Awesome, it works very well! ^_^

There's just one thing I forgot to mention, I'm using Yanfly's Common Event Menu script for the world map, and the day and month seems to disappear when the menu is called up:
[spoiler][/spoiler]
Would it be possible to add a switch function that would disable it from disappearing while other menu's are up?

[TDS]

It's not that it disappears.

The display date is a sprite that's added to the scene map to display information.

To make it work with other scripts it has to be added onto those scripts.

If you provide the script I will add it into it.

#
# Yanfly Engine RD - Common Event Menu
# Last Date Updated: 2009.06.12
# Level: Normal, Hard
#
# Similar to the Common Event Shop, the Common Event Menu lets you create your
# menus to list various common event options. Now, you don't have to use all of
# those obnoxiously tedious Show Choice branches and conditional branches just
# to let the player get somewhere in range.
#
# This script lets you create your own generated common event menus with ease.
# Set the style of the menu, the nature of the menu, and the contents of the
# menu. Afterwards, set the switches (if required) for the common events to
# even appear, any pictures to go along with it, and descriptions on what the
# common event can do for the player.
#
#===============================================================================
# Updates:
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# o 2009.06.12 - Finished script.
# o 2009.06.11 - Started script.
#===============================================================================
# Instructions
#===============================================================================
#
# First, bind CE_MENU_VARIABLE to the variable you wish to launch common event
# menus with.
#
# Scroll down and edit the CE_MENU_HASH. This will reflect what common events
# appear in those menus, the style of the menu, and the title associated with
# the menu.
#
# Scroll down and edit the CE_MENU_ITEMS. This will determine how common events
# can be shown, what switches they require, and if it will display any pictures
# along with it.
#
# Then, to launch the menu, just change the CE_MENU_VARIABLE variable to the
# menu ID you want to launch. Simple as that.
#
#===============================================================================
# Style Names
# "General" - A very normal kind of menu.
# "Compact" - A smaller version of the General style.
# "Double"  - Displays two columns for the menu.
# "Bottom"  - Aligns the choices at the bottom of the screen.
# "Lefty"   - Aligns the choices to the left side of the screen.
# "Righty"  - Aligns the choices to the right side of the screen.
# "Gimmick" - A pretty gimmicky style.
#===============================================================================

# Compatibility

[Edit]

Oop's, wrong script, fixed.

[TDS]

The script you provided was not really any use at all, since it's configured to your game and resources.

Next time please provide a script that can work without your resources.

I did the edit by aliasing methods, so in theory  it should work even though I could not test it.

Replace your other script with this one and place it below the one you provided.

Thanks, it's appearing now, and sorry about that.
[spoiler][/spoiler]
But now, none of the script commands are working.
When I use the script command 'enable_date_display', it only appears after the common event menu has displayed, and the script commands for disabling, changing position and updating don't seem to work anymore.

[TDS]

This should fix it.
