Cursor Command

[Tsunokiette]

This will allow you to create a Command Window that uses a cursor (or pointer whatever you want to call it) instead of a selector around the text. Of course you can also create a normal menu using this as well.

First of all, import this into the icons folder. (make the background transparent...)



Then place this with all the other Window Scripts

def initialize(width, commands, pointer = false)
super(0, 0, width, commands.size * 32 + 32)
@item_max = commands.size
@commands = commands
@pointer = pointer
self.contents = Bitmap.new(width - 32, @item_max * 32)

self.index = 0
end

def refresh(index = 0)
self.contents.clear
for i in 0...@item_max
draw_item(i, normal_color)
end

draw_pointer(index)
end
end

rect2 = Rect.new(0, 32 * index + 4, 24, 24)
self.contents.fill_rect(rect2, Color.new(0, 0, 0, 0))

self.contents.blt(0, 0, bitmap, rect2)
end

self.contents.font.color = color
if @pointer == true
rect1 = Rect.new(24, 32 * index, self.contents.width - 24, 32)
self.contents.fill_rect(rect1, Color.new(0, 0, 0, 0))
self.contents.draw_text(rect1, @commands[index],1)
else
rect1 = Rect.new(0, 32 * index, self.contents.width, 32)
self.contents.fill_rect(rect1, Color.new(0, 0, 0, 0))
self.contents.draw_text(rect1, @commands[index],1)
end
end

def disable_item(index)
draw_item(index, disabled_color)
end

def update_cursor_rect
if @index < 0 or @pointer == true
self.cursor_rect.empty
return
end
x = 0
y = 32 * @index
cursor_width = self.contents.width
self.cursor_rect.set(x, y, cursor_width, 32)
end

alias :original_update :update
def update
if @pointer == true
refresh(@index)
end
original_update
end

end

To create a nomal menu do this-

Code Select Expand

@menu = Cursor_Command.new(width,[commands])

To create a menu using the pointer (cursor) do this-

Code Select Expand

@menu = Cursor_Command.new(width,[commands],true)

If you get an error tell me immediately, it's a simple script so if it has any errors, it shouldn't be too hard to fix

Cool thing Tsukionette!!! That

[darklinkn2it]

@menu = Cursor_Command.new(width,[commands],true)

where do I add this?

is there a way to make there be no cursor? just get rid of the stupid box for some menus.....?

[Tsunokiette]

I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean the default cursor? (The selection box that highlights the options)

It's like a 5 second edit, but why would you want to do that? You need to have some sort of indication that the option is selected.

If you're talking about getting rid of it when the pointer (or whatever) is being used, that already happens.

Yes i want to get rid of the selection box, i will have a way of showing what is selected, but the window has a special set-up, which makes the selection boxes not line up properly, so i would like to get rid of them entirely.

M'kay.

Just add this into your window code -

Code Select Expand

def update_cursor_rect
self.cursor_rect.empty
end

My post got screwed somehow. Anyways, find line 35 and delete the second ")" that's there. It shouldn't be there.

And you put

Code Select Expand

@menu = Cursor_Command.new(width,[commands],true)

In the same place you would put a normal command window. In fact you should be able to just change the first part to Cursor_Command.new and add ",true" to the end.
