VXAce HUD Designer/Generator

[Cidiomar 39]

Open the RM VX Ace, press F11, go down and find the last script, create another script pressing Insert, paste the generated script on it.

It would be nice if we can bind variables to the Rects, not just HP,MP or EXP.

Also, is there a way to turn the HUD script on and off?

Hum, yes... but we will need to variables, one for max value and one for current value.

About the enable/disable, I'll put it now!

Oh, I forgot about that it needs a max values. So yeah, two variables are needed. But you can make that, right?

 

About the enable/disable, I'll put it now!

Thanks! There are times when I don't need the HUD to show, so being able to enable/disable the HUD would be useful.

Hi! I just have a couple of quick questions:

 

1. You mention adding a method of terminating the script, what is the call used to do so?

 

2. What are your stances on using this in free/commercial games? Are you happy to just be credited... or what?

 

Thanks in advance!

This is so cool!

[maniaclover 1]

This is just great. But I have one question.... how can I disable the HUD bar?

[JacobB 0]

Can this be used for commercial projects?

[Cidiomar 39]

Yes, no problem.

I just generated a HUD script, but I am getting an error,

 

 

Any ideas? This is a clean install on VX Ace.

I can't do anything... I click on the widgets and nothing happens... Would be nice if there were instructions... The screens look easy enough to use and I give props to you for what you have done, I just wish I could use it.

 

Using Firefox

[NicPre 1]

Solaris, I can assist you in using this program. I spent a while (2 hours) playing around with it yesterday, and I think I understand it now.

[maniaclover 1]

Is there a way to disable this bar in certain moments? It would be very useful. Thank you for your help.

[Akari_Tsukino 0]

Today, I tried to use this, and when I tried dragging something to the game window, your name just kept jumping down the page, I couldn't do anything in the editor either, seems like something may have broken in it.

[beaulamb 0]

This is also happening to me! i thought i was doing something wrong, is it still working? i would love to use this in my project.

 

Edit: For anyone having trouble with this too it doesn't seem to work using Firefox for me.

This is amazing, I don't have any use for it yet, but when i need a hud i will defiantly consider using this. 

[Necromedes 103]

Forgive me if this makes me seem stupid but how do you use this designer? I keep clicking/clicking and dragging the widgets on the page but nothing happens. Do I have to actually upload widgets or what? I even turned off my popup blocker thinking that it was considering that an ad of some sort but still nadda. Any help would be appreciated.

[Cidiomar 39]

I've just tested and the app isn't working, I don't why nor have the sources.

 

It's time to develop another app... After this and some other projects I become interested in web development and now I'm a pro web developer.

I'll start it tomorow, let me know if someone want a way to get feedbacks from the development.

[Audrey 2]

What about the function to design multiple types of HUDs for different situations (optional)

or the ability to turn off the HUD in certain situations?

Nice functions.
