[Resolved]Italicize

How do I italicize letters in a script? cuz I want my criticals to look shnazzy! 

font.italic = true

where font is the font object of whichever bitmap you are drawing it on. So, in a window, it would be:

Code: [Select]

self.contents.font.italic = true


In a sprite, it would be:

Code: [Select]

self.bitmap.font.italic = true


Sorry to ask, in the damage pop up script which would I put in and where? xD
cuz I tried pasting it in and I kept getting errors

Code: [Select]

# Damage Popup
# Version: 1.0b
# Author: modern algebra (rmrk.net)
# Date: September 8, 2009
#++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
# Description:
#
# This script allows damage to popup on top of the battler, rather than
# being shown in the message box.
#++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
# Instructions:
#
# Place this script above Main and below other custom scripts. Please see
# the editable region beginning at line 35 for configuration options.
#
# To change the text shown when a critical hit is landed, or the target is
# missed or the target evades, you will need to go up to the Vocab module
# (the very first script in the editor) and change the values of the
# following constants:
#
# CriticalToActor
# CriticalToEnemy
# ActorNoHit
# ActorEvasion
# EnemyNoHit
# EnemyEvasion

# Please read the comments above each constant to learn what it controls.
#||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
# DP_VANISH_SPEED controls the number of frames a damage pop sprite remains
# visible. There are 60 frames in a second.
DP_VANISH_SPEED = 80
# DP_PLUS_X and DP_PLUS_Y control the position of the damage pop sprites,
# with reference to the centre bottom of the damaged battler. Keep in mind
# that the damage pop is centred on a 200 pixel bitmap, so a DP_PLUS_X of
# -100 would have the text centred on the battler.
DP_PLUS_X = -100
DP_PLUS_Y = -50
# DP_FONT is the font used for displaying the damage popup. When it is an
# array, that is the priority in which fonts are checked. So, for instance:
# ["Verdana", "Arial", "Courier New"] would mean that the font would be
# Verdana by default. If the player doesn't have Verdana installed, it would
# be Arial, and if the player doesn't have Arial installed, it would be
# Courier New.
DP_FONT = ["Verdana", "Arial", "Courier New"]
# DP_SIZE is the size of the damage popup text.
DP_SIZE = 32
# The _COLOR constants below control the colour of the damage popup in their
# respective situations and are arrays holding the [red, green, blue] values
# of the colour.
# HPDAMAGE is the colour for when the target's HP is decreased
DP_HPDAMAGE_COLOR = [255, 255, 255]
# MPDAMAGE is the colour for when the target's MP is decreased
DP_MPDAMAGE_COLOR = [180, 20, 255]
# HPHEAL is the colour for when the target's HP is increased
DP_HPHEAL_COLOR = [0, 255, 0]
# MPHEAL is the colour for when the target's MP is increased
DP_MPHEAL_COLOR = [0, 0, 255]
# CRIT is the colour for when the target receives a critical hit
DP_CRIT_COLOR = [255, 255, 0]
# MISS is the colour for when the target evades or is otherwise missed
DP_MISS_COLOR = [255, 255, 255]
# If you still want damage to show up in the message box as well, change
# this value to true. false means the damage won't show up in the message
# box and only show up as a popup.
DP_SHOW_DAMAGE_IN_MESSAGE = false

You'd put it here:

Code: [Select]

when 2 then Color.new (*ModernAlgebra::DP_MISS_COLOR)
when 3 then Color.new (*ModernAlgebra::DP_CRIT_COLOR)
end
sprite.bitmap.font.italic = true
damage_string = damage.is_a? (String) ? damage : damage.abs.to_s


What font would I insert to make it cursive like this for the crits? I don't mean that exact font but any cursive one will do xD

Well, open up Microsoft Word or any similar text editor and test out the fonts you have. If none of the default fonts are ideal then you can also try dafont.com though you will have to abide by whatever terms the creators set for them, which may include a licence fee (though many on the site are also free).

thx, I found a font but how do I make only the criticals in that font? Would it have to be a seperate damage sprite?

Insert this line:

Code: [Select]

sprite.bitmap.font.name = "Name of Font"


here:

Code: [Select]

# Get color of damage
sprite.bitmap.font = Font.new (ModernAlgebra::DP_FONT, ModernAlgebra::DP_SIZE)
sprite.bitmap.font.name = "Name of Font"
sprite.bitmap.font.size -= 4 if type > 1


thank you so much 

Sorry, I forgot to add the main part of that request

The line should be:

Code: [Select]

sprite.bitmap.font.name = "Name of Font" if type == 3

I modified it to
sprite.bitmap.font.name = "Name of Font" if type > 2
before you responded but I'll change it to that so nothing bad happens xD

OH! btw can I change the sound of the crit and make it diff from a regular hit?

You could, but that's not something that would be controlled by this script or anymore convenient to integrate with this script than simply writing a new script. Make a request in the RMVX Scripts Request board and maybe someone will do it for you.
