MV - How to get what Scene or Window is currently shown

DawnStar · 2020-12-31T03:45:51+0900

Topic, I need a way to check which windows are being shown on screen, using javascript, ideally with a function that returns a boolean value, or maybe an array with the scene stack, so I can use this on some conditions for a custom HUD. Something like: JavaScript: // NOT actual code isSceneShowing("Scene_Battle") isWindowShowing("Window_BattleEnemy") I may be wording this incorrectly, but I've been looking in rpg_windows.js and rpg_scenes.js and I can't seem to find any function that does this like in the times of RGSS3. Can anyone help?

Code:
SceneManager._scene
gives you the current scene, then you can do an instanceof to check if eg. Scene_Battle is running.
Code:
const b = SceneManager._scene instanceof Scene_Battle
When it comes to windows, I know no generic way to get all windows. You can still check if a specific window is there
Code:
const b = !!SceneManager._scene._commandWindow

you could filter the children of scene to check for instances of window or windowLayer if you *really* need all windows :)
