    Hey all,

    Pretty micro request. As some of you may noticed, the program changes an inactive battle actor's face somewhat transparent when viewed in the menu. I was wondering if someone would be able to write a small snippet that turns the HP and MP bars translucent as well (by the same value of the faces)? Any help is appreciated, thanks.

    Code:
    class Window_Base < Window
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Draw Enabled Gauge
  #	 rate	: Rate (full at 1.0)
  #	 color1  : Left side gradation
  #	 color2  : Right side gradation
  #	 enabled : Enabled flag. When false, draw semi-transparently.
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def draw_enabled_gauge(x, y, width, rate, color1, color2, enabled = true)
	fill_w = (width * rate).to_i
	gauge_y = y + line_height - 8
	bc = gauge_back_color
	bc.alpha = color1.alpha = color2.alpha = enabled ? 255 : translucent_alpha
	contents.fill_rect(x, gauge_y, width, 6, bc)
	contents.gradient_fill_rect(x, gauge_y, fill_w, 6, color1, color2)
  end
end
    Basically, I took the original Window_Base#draw_gauge method and made a new one with an extra argument that determines whether the gauges are drawn semi-transparently.

    Color objects have four properties: red, green, blue, and alpha. Alpha is a public instance variable so you can modify the value easily. I suggest looking up Color in the VX Ace help file if you want to read a bit more.
