=======================================================================
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.))

        and so you don’t have a bunch of zeroes showing… you can also make a condition that the number only shows up under the condition of $gameParty.hasItem(x) – That way it shows the number if its there, and if it isn’t it doesn’t

    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?

              Hey,I just found a way to solve it.First,open the”SRD_HUDMaker.js”and locate the line 1240,and delete”if(!Utils.RPGMAKER_VERSION || Utils.RPGMAKER_VERSION < '1.3.0') {alert("HUD Maker requires your project to be at v1.3.0 or greater!");else ".done!
              But I cant make sure it wont happen any other problem,make sure"HUD Maker requires your project to be at v1.3.0 or greater!".^_^

    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 ๐Ÿ™‚

      Hey, I had the same problem, I had to goto the plugin manager and change the settings for Map Global Condition to “true”. after this everything popped up just fine. (Remember to click apply when exiting as well!)

    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:

      But… I don’t know how to show the icons of states ๐Ÿ™

    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?

    question…

    Any chance that you can ALSO have… Custom Character EX face graphics on there as an element as well?

    This is a really great plugin with loads of features. I just have a question that I can’t find an answer to on Google. I want to display an Exp gauge and I know I need to use ” $gameActors.actor(1).level ” for the Cur. Value, but I can’t find out what to use for the Max Value. I can find script calls for the players current EXP but not a script call for the Max EXP for the next level.

    Hello, I’m using this plug in to create a custom battle hud.
    I’m also using yanflys Absorbtion barrier plugin.
    Is there a way to display the barrier portion in the hud maker’s hp gauges? Every time I activate a barrier the default hp bar appears during battle.

    Actually, this Engine and Plug-in is so cool. (Such a good point like easy to learn and use)

    By the way, In my case, I use Condition blank as to display time hud on the map.
    However, in this plugin note and video guide, there is no plug-in command and guide about
    enable/disable control for hud.
    (Such like disable hud in to specific map ID, or plugin command for disable hud in event situation)

    I hope to know how to control for this.

      Hi ini_kun,
      A great way to take care of this is to actually make the elements have a condition on each element that the HUD has that you don’t want to be visible on certain maps… so for those maps, you may simply have an event that turns on a switch, and destroys the event. Each map can then have that type of event. If the switch is ‘ON’, the hud and all its elements turn on, if the switch is ‘OFF’, the hud and elements turn off.

      Yes, using the SuperTools plugin, you can set conditions for each element, and can be as whether or not…
      Get the item number of the Watering Can… and i think you place that in item, as per the Script Call.

      $gameParty.isAnyMemberEquipped(item)

    How would one show state icons for states applied to the actor?
    Also how would you tie a picture to an actor? Like if I didn’t want to display the full faces for an actor, but a picture based on that actor.

    Reply ↓
    1. Johnnie

      well, what CAN be an easy way to do this is to take advantage of the Nickname for the actor. if you don’t need it elsewhere, you can do an image based on the nickname, OR if you know the actor ID, you can do something like this…

      $gameActors.actor(actorId).name()
      – or –
      $gameParty.leader.name() like in the HudMaker video 5 for text… and images… just choose IMAGE EX instead of ACTOR FACE at that point… and have the picture for the actor in the SumRndmDde Hud Image folders

        I wound up utilizing that to create my UI here:

        But there still doesn’t seem to be a way to display State Icons. I have an empty space to the left of the portraits to display the state icons, but TextEx doesn’t seem to process evals, so I don’t think there’s actually a way to display state icons.

    Like others, I seem to be having trouble getting the HUD maker to show the complete list of elements that can be created and if I try to create a new picture element, nothing happens.
