The Event Window is a new feature added through this script that appears in the lower left corner of the screen. Whenever the player gains or loses gold and items, the Event Window is updated to show the changes. In addition to showing item gains and losses, you may even add in your own text to update through a Script Call.
event_window_add_text(string)
This inserts “string” text into the Event Window. Use \n to designate linebreaks in the string. If you wish to use text codes, write them in the strings as \\n[2] or \\c[3] to make them work properly.
event_window_clear_text
This causes the Event Window to clear all of the stored text. You can choose whether or not to clear the stored Event Window text every time the player enters a new map.

This is kind of like a make shift Item Pop script. Simple yet effective.
Great script.
Erm… on lines 113 and 114, shouldn’t it be “YEA::EVENT_WINDOW::HIDE_SWITCH” instead of “YEA::CLASS_SYSTEM::SWITCH_SHOW_CLASS”?
Oops! Thanks for letting me know. Updated to v1.01.
Will it notify for experience gains as well as gold and items?
Gold yes. EXP, no.
Got a question, as I am no scripter.
How do you change the location of where the item is shown when the actor finds it? As it is currently on the left hand side of the screen, but there is a HUD script that uses the same side, and want to move the window to the right side of the screen.
And will you have plans of having this script show the experience gained as well?
Well, while I am no scripter as well, I’ve found it:
def initialize
dw = YEA::EVENT_WINDOW::WINDOW_WIDTH
super(0, 0, dw, fitting_height(YEA::EVENT_WINDOW::MAX_LINES))
self.x -= 12
self.opacity = 0
self.contents_opacity = 0
@visible_counter = 0
modify_skin
deactivate
end
On lines 275 – 284.
Change the self.x -= 12 value to something around -350. This is line 278.
Hmm. I must have missed that when I was looking over the script
I’ve got an edited script if your game only has 1 actor (…which is why you have a HUD, right?).
Or do you have more?
For now there is only 1 actor. That may change in the future.
For 1 actor:
1. Insert this script: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/58731798/YF_LucCustom.txt
2. Then write ‘ Experience = “EXP” ‘ in Vocab on the top of the script editor.
Thanks.
One last question that I can remember… does anyone know if there is a way to have the items scroll slowly if there are more then the maximum number of items set to show in the ship? (For example a chest has 7 items, but the maximum number is say 3)
Yanfly, where do I edit the font size of the text displayed?
It’s because I change my font size to 18 on the Core Engine
and when I do something (example: get gold) and gets displayed,
the text is too small for people to read.
Here’s what I mean.
Edit the HEADER_TEXT. \e} causes the text to shrink.
Hi Yanfly, I have a question, how can I change directly the font size of the window.
Is because if I use \e} the text is really little and I can’t read it well, but if I delete the code, The text is too big…Is there any way? (I tried with AceMessage, but it doesn’t work…with \fz[12])
Please…
you just add these lines between header and fount text.
HEADER_TEXT = ” ” # Text that’s always used at the head.
FONT_NAME = “VL.gothic”
FONT_SIZE = 20
FOUND_TEXT = “\ec[6] Found \ec[0]” # Text used when an item is found.
LOST_TEXT = “\ec[4] Lost \ec[0]” # Text used when an item is lost.
AMOUNT_TEXT = “×%s” # Text used to display an amount.
CLOSER_TEXT = ” ” # Text that’s always used at the end.

I changed the max items to be displayed to 1.
Problem though, the marker arrow wont go away. Please support?
If I wanted the window to display near the top, where would I change?
Check the posts above, this has been answered.
I followed the directions to install and when I start a new game to test it I get this error msg:
“Script: ‘Game_interpreter’ line 1411 : NameError occurred.
undefined variable or method ‘String’ for # ”
That is an unaltered script that came with the game, so IDK… Was fine till I added in this script below materials but above Main.
NVM fixed it was something from another script Ignore plz thnx
HEADER_TEXT = “\e}⋅ ” at line 89
Here it shows the correct symbol but at rpgmaker vx ace shows me a square and in game it shows a ]
Any solution to it to display the correct symbol?
Hey, awesome script! But I always get a very strange Problem.
Every time I use the ”Switch Operation” in an event, e.g. for opening a door with a lever, the script just stops displaying the notifications.
When I pick up an item everything is displayed normaly, but after a switch operation there is no indicator for an item pickup, very strange.
I hope you can help me :)
Now I have got a font problem with the little dots in the beginning and the ending (Because I am using a Chinese font and it displays like a square…) I will fix it…
By the way, why is your name displayed here as 黄?
How to output a Varible?
You can use “event_window_add_text(string)” in a script call. Just put “\\V[n]” in the text you want to write, where n is the numero of the variable you want to show. ;)
I can’t seem to make it to display more than 2 items at a time. In other words, if a chest gives 3 items, only the last item name would show up. Is there a fix for that?
Maybe I’m just blind, but I know I’m pretty beginner to all this scripting stuff, and by beginner I mean this is the first script I’m using.
Is there a way to change the color of the fonts when creating your own event window?
To note, whenever I do C[x] I just get [x] appearing on screen. ><
I believe the proper code is \c[x]
“x” being the number assigned to whichever colour, but I think you get that part. I hope I’m not wrong and this solves your problem.
I downloaded this and integrated it into my game all proper and whatnot, but it will not display ANY items gains or losses or anything. Do keep in mind, I’m a completely inept scripter so if someone would be kind enough to walk me through this as if I were a child, it would be greatly appreciated :D
Never mind, I’m an idiot. I overcomplicated it by assuming you needed to use script calls every time to make it appear…. but it’s actually a lot simpler XD thanks for the kickass scripts Yanfly.
Oops, I think it’s \ec[x] so try that instead.
when i pick up an item it shows ] Found item ] with the brackets just like that around the item found, how do i get rid of those brackets and add a – instead? here is a pic http://i44.tinypic.com/2i9p2e0.png
edit the HEADER_TEXT = “\e}SYMBOL ” and CLOSER_TEXT = “SYMBOL ” with
a symbo or leave it empty like HEADER_TEXT = “\e} ” and CLOSER_TEXT = ” ”
thats the way i it for myself.
hi, what a great script is that.
but can you make something like this : http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2jffxpe&s=5
that’s a pop up item, so when you click on a chest, the item will pop up, can you do that ? i very need it :(
thanks
Hi, I’m very new to rpg maker, and I really like your work. I downloaded and installed severall scripts and no problems, but with this script I’m having this error in line 238: NoMethodError ocurred. undefined method ‘icon_index’ for nil:NilClass. Can anyone please help me?
An edit I made clears the data after the window fades out (not just on map change). I really prefer this, because it’s easier to see only what’s new. You simply change this part of the script (the only thing added is the final line before END):
#————————————————————————–
# update_contents_opacity
#————————————————————————–
def update_contents_opacity
return if @visible_counter > 0
return if self.contents_opacity <= 0
self.contents_opacity -= YEA::EVENT_WINDOW::WINDOW_FADE
$game_temp.clear_event_window_data
end
Thank you! :D
I can’t seem to get script call “event_window_add_text(string)” to work, it crashes the game and returns the error:
Script ‘Game_Interpreter’ line 1411:NameError occurred.
The other script call to clear the text works fine. I am using an event that the player walks over.
links off :(
Your script download link is down. Is it possible to link it to a pastebin or something?
Thanks!
How does that work with the ‘event_window_add_text (string)’?
Despite the description, I don’t understand it.
How exactly do I add my text?
If I insert it as in the screenshot above, I get an error message.
I did not find my problem in the other comments …
Thank you for your help.
Can someone help me? what do I put in the event_window_add_text(string)
You need to add it as a string
either
event_window_add_text(“your text here”)
or you define text before
text = “your text here”
event_window_add_text(text)
both need to be between quotation marks
