=======================================================================
Image Installation
=======================================================================

All HUD images must be placed in:

/img/SumRndmDde/hud/

They need to be segmented into four folders:
– pictures
– numbers
– gauge_images
– gauge_backs

Each folder will be used to hold images for the corresponding pieces:
– Picture
– Image Numbers
– Image Gauge

      Make sure you have the latest version of Super Tools Engine, all the files are in the right location, and- of course- that the plugins are turned on in your plugin manager. I hope this helped! =D
      (The SRD_HUDMaker.js file should be in /js/plugins
      and the 4 image files (guage_backs, guage_images, numbers, pictures) should be in img/SumRndDde/hud (Im pretty sure it has to be exact same capitalization for both the SumRndmDde and hud files, tho im not sure.))

    This is awesome. Can you provide a step by step on how to make a ATB gauge using Yanfly’s ATB Battle system script for each character? Been trying to figure that out for awhile now.

        For some reason, it says 1.3.5 on RPG Maker on Steam, I have ‘update when I activate the app’ on, and yet apparently I still don’t have 1.3.0. Any ideas why, if you can help?

    does anyone have a place where someone like me could visit to see a sort of library of javascript codes that function with this plugin?

    For instance:
    $gameSwitches.value()
    In the “condition” box will make your HUD element appear only when a specific switch is active. But what if I wanted to have something display only when a specific variable is at a specific value?

    Another example:
    ${$gameParty.leader().name()}
    In the “value” box of the “text” element will make the text display the name of the actor in the leader slot, but what code might I use to make a text element display the name of whatever actor is in the second party slot?

    A final example:
    $gameParty.leader().name()
    In the “Image” box under the “picture EX” element will make the HUD maker display a specific picture file that has the same name as the actor in the leader slot, but again, what if I wanted to have a specific picture display that changes based on whatever actor happens to be in the second party slot?

    I find this plugin to be absolutely amazing and super powerful! And honestly, even as someone with absolutely no javascript coding knowledge at all I can do so much! But If I could just find some place that had a list of codes that described what each does, I feel like I could do virtually anything I can imagine with this plug in!

      first for variables i believe u use $gameVariables.value(id);
      and for the 2nd and 3rd questions $gameParty.members()[id].name() since u want the second party member then id=1 (u start from 0)

      I rather use ${$gameParty.battleMembers()[x].name()}, because if you remove a party member using the PartySystem of Yanfly the hud will still show that member data, and you should use this for the condition too.

      example for the text:

      value: ${$gameParty.battleMembers()[x].name()}

      condition : $gameParty.battleMembers()[x] && $gameSwitches.value(z)

      where “x” is the member id and ” z” the switch that has to be ON (both conditions should be met)

      I use this because i linked that switch to a common event and i use the button common events plugin, that way you can show/hide
      the hud pressing a key.

      Hope this have been useful.

    Hey SRDude, this script is awesome! However, there seems to be a huge bug with it. When deploying a project for web, this script no longer works (no errors come up, just none of the huds display anymore.) Just thought I’d give you a heads up πŸ™‚

    I just downloaded the plugin, and it only shows the first four options to add. And the pictures aren’t being added either.
    Also, is it compatible with the faces of the Character Creator Ex yet?

      (the “just downloaded” is to say that it is as updated as the site right now. The maker is on version 1.5.0)

      I tried that:

      – Creates a new ‘Text’ and set in ‘value’ –> ${$gameParty.leader().allIcons()}

      But… I don’t know how to show the icons of states πŸ™

    Hey SumRndmDde!

    I’ve build a script where you press a button to summon a common event to swap characters (effectively a character is just removed and then readded).

    I’ve set the HUD to update when the Party Leader takes over and text updates straight away, however the character’s face doesn’t seem to update unless a menu is opened? It wills remain the old face until the menu is opened, then it will update. Do you know a way around this or a script to force refresh of the face graphics?

    Just a suggestion that I thought you might find fun and many of us useful. That being somehow combining this with your Blinking Faces. Maybe a replace image with this said image at certain intervals?
