• Choose an icon that will be displayed next the gold value.
• The ability to have a switch turn it on/off.
• A few more simple tweaks that you can play around with.

This would be so useful to me, Im sick of going into the menu to check the gold. now I can while in map.

 

 

Good job Niclas

Just join this Gold Window to a HUD and you got a perfect combination!

 

Excelent script, already in my RPG.

[Faalhaas 10]

I remember you pointing me out to this script for some random project i made. you converted your scripts to RGSS3 pretty fast, nice job niclas!

[ma5amune 6]

dont work for me! is this just plug n play script? I just modifet the gold icon!

mb some incompatibility with another scripts I use!

[Faalhaas 10]

probably change the X and Y settings ma5amune. that's where i ran into last time.

[Nicke 150]

Thanks for the feedback everyone.

 

@ma5amune: Set the x and y position to the ones you want and change the switch_id as well. Then simply set that to ON when you start the game and you should be good to go.

Great script, indeed. But try to add about 500 gold to your actor, it will be a loooong time

[Nicke 150]

@Angius: It depends on what time you set on the counter and yeah, it will take a long time if you decided to give the player 10.000 gold in a quest reward for example.

[Angius 0]

Even on time=0 it takes pretty long

Is there any possibility to make something like limits? You know, you set the config option to 500 in example, and every higher amount of gold will be added instantly? Without counting animation, just SE and that's all?

[Nicke 150]

@Anigus: Yep, I can probably add a feature so that you can enable/disable the counting effect instead. Then you can choose yourself when you want to enable/disable the effect.

I'll be waiting for that too.

[Nicke 150]

@Angius & @O-M-E-G-A: Version 1.0b is up! You should now be able to to enable/disable the counting effect as you please ingame using only a simple switch.

I'm newbie here, how to switch it on? Where is the switch?

[Darkanine 116]

I'm newbie here, how to switch it on? Where is the switch?

On line 30-31 there should be this code

# GOLD = [icon, switch_id, show_icon, show_vocab, count_switch]

GOLD = [361, 1, true, false, 1]

the 1 next to 361 is the switch ID 

[PiFace 0]

I'm having a problem: when I turn on the HUD switch, it won't show up untill I open and close the menu. Can anyone help me?

 

great script btw, saved me a lot of work.

 

(sorry for my poor english, I speak Portuguese)

I don't know how to turn it on, even with this information.

[nyxzryu 1]

yeah me too.

i've put the script and not touch anything on it and no one's changing.

i noticed the switch id is 1, but i don't know what button is that.

[KayDgirl91 99]

I am having the same problem as PiFace, I have the switch ID set correctly. I turn on the switch, but the HUD won't update until I open the switch/variable menu (F9). Does anyone know why that is?

[Mael 2]

Hello, I wondered if there was a line to not have it before I decide to turn the switch on.

(Because when I start a game and deactivate the switch it's still visible until the switch takes effect)

[KayDgirl91 99]

It shouldn't display the window until the switch is turned on. So if you are starting a new game it shouldn't show up (unless you have an event that is activating the switch by accident.) Have you made sure that the window is being triggered by the desired switch? Is it set to the default number 1 switch?
