It's not to do with the language difference, but rather the implementation.ģ. In MV, though, the objects are named $gameMap and $gamePlayer, and I can't find a function defined on Scene_Map or Scene_Base that does what you want.

Did the code work in VX Ace because VX Ace uses Ruby, or because I was also running Khas's Sapphire Action system? Or both? Or neither?I don't know about VX Ace. Yanfly has a Mini Event Labels plugin (I don't think this one has a "fade out after X time" feature, though) and Galv has a Timed Message Popups plugin, but I don't know how much you'll be able to glean from either of them.Ģ. It's quite far from a beginner's introduction to coding, though, however "Hello World" it seems! Then, as part of that same plugin, you'd have a function (or plugin command) to interface with the code, so that a new instance of your "floating text" window can be spawned with a simple event command. How do I do this in MV?I think the approach would be to have a plugin (yes, I know, keep reading) that defines a new subclass of Window_Base featuring the desired positioning, text, and fade time. For future reference, are there some reference materials that could have helped here? I searched for about 3 hours but I suspect that I don't know enough scripting terminology to accurately research the topic. Did the code work in VX Ace because VX Ace uses Ruby, or because I was also running Khas's Sapphire Action system? Or both? Or neither?ģ. $game_map.show_text($game_player,"10 points!")Īnd I checked the document at for the word 'text' and nothing useful turned up.Ģ. Here is the VX Ace code that does exactly what I want, but doesn't work in MV: I don't want a message box, I want words to quickly appear above the player character's head, and then disappear from the game world after about 1 second.

Hi, I'm familiar with the program but new to the scripting side of it.Ĭould someone please help me figure out how to get floating text in RPG Maker MV? I am not trying to be rude, I am trying to save you time and energy.* If a plug-in is the only way, then I will go without for the moment. I do not want a plug-in, because that won't help me learn to script. *Please note that I want to learn to script this.
