Angelo Vertical HUD

burandon · January 3, 2012

Angelo Vertical HUD v1.2

This script is a massive edit of the default Angelo HUD (

Click here to see Angelo HUD topic) and the main change is the position of bars, they are vertical!

This is the last time I create HUDs, at least until I'm done with

Angelo Menu I.

A last version is expected for Angelo HUD and Vertical HUD, and it will features dynamic and animated bars and other things. All the instructions are on the script, read carefully.

Looks good. But I think the method that checks if the stats change is screwed.

Add a line like

print 'refreshing'

in the refresh method to see what I mean.

I hope that helps.

I think I don't see what you're trying to show. Can you explain better?

Valiant · January 4, 2012

When I copy the script into a new project and add that line to the refresh method, the console displays the message all the time, so it is being updated all the time.

Yes, but remember, you must attribute the work in the manner specified by the author, you may not use this work for commercial purposes, you may not alter, transform, or build upon this work. Give the right credits.

When I copy the script into a new project and add that line to the refresh method, the console displays the message all the time, so it is being updated all the time.

Oh, now I get it. I tried to change somethings and increase others but it doesn't change, do you have any ideas?

Nicke · January 4, 2012

Hmm your update method is refreshing even if the hud isn't changing. If you do it like this it only refresh once the hp/mp has changed:

def update
	super
	if @hp != $game_party.members[0].hp &&  @mp != $game_party.members[0].mp
	  print "Test"
	  refresh
	end
  end
end

You can see that Test only occurs once if one of these values are changed whereas your method keeps spamming Test. Try with the Debug window and you will see:

def update
  super
  if hud_changed
	print "test"
	refresh
  end
end
 end

yes, rgss3 scenes by default update ALL windows present, so do not update it twice. also, this means any exclusions of updating will have to be written into the window's update method manually.

burandon · January 4, 2012

but I can't only update when HP or MP changes because of the SWITCHES that I have to put in this method too, or else the HUD won't be displayed.

Valiant · January 5, 2012

Then call refresh only if hp/mp change and ifswitches values change, this means that you would have to create other variables to storage the value of the switches by the time the hud is created. (initialize method maybe)

For example,

if (@hpswitch != $game_switches[HP_SWITCH]) && ($game_switches[HP_SWITCH] == "OFF")

burandon · January 6, 2012

I still having trouble, because this way you said makes the HUD appears only if the switches are ON and the stats changed. I do as you said, it works correctly but the HUD don't appear unless the stats changes. Remember: I have a masterswitch (HUD_VISIBLE_SWITCH) that can turn ON or OFF the entirely HUD. I have stats switches (HP_SWITCH, MP_SWITCH) that makes only the designated part of the HUD appear if the masterswitch is ON. I have the info switch (WEAPON_AND_NAME_SWITCH) that makes a little window appear with the icon of the currently equipped weapon and the name of character if the masterswitch is ON.

I tried all the conditions that comes to my head, but when the hud appeared properly, it was refreshing all the time; and when it only refresh if the stats changed the HUD don't appear right after turning the proper switches ON.

If only there's a way to stop the refreshing, making the window refresh only one time by scripts. I know its possible, but I don't know how to do.

Valiant · January 6, 2012

I have written it for you, but I highly recommend you to dispose the hud when the visible switch is off instead of making it not show its contents..

Why having something in screen that is not actually in screen?

I added a few lines in the refresh method to store the switches values and I also modified the hud_changed method to check also for changes on those variables.

Check it out.

One day I loaded up my game, worked wonders with this awesome script but then I opened my game again on another day and I got this error whenever I open my game with your script - No edits to the script have been made.

Script 'Angelo Vertical HUD' line 178:NameError occurred.

undefined local variable or method 'hud_changed' for #<AngeloVHUD:0x36c7570>

burandon · January 11, 2012

Try using the new version

Download File

I don't know why I didn't release it!

I'm forgetting every thing these days (even forget to feed my cat, poor kitty)

Edited January 11, 2012 by burandon

Rosenblack · January 11, 2012

I'll try it out and you feed the cat, we got a deal :lol:

burandon · January 11, 2012

hehe, it's settled them!

we have a deal!

EDIT:

There's one diferencial in the way the script works, so in order to hide the HUD you'll have to turn ON the switches.

I forget about editing this in the script comments My forgetfulness it's starting to get serious .

Edited January 11, 2012 by burandon

Yea its not working and I have all the switches on,

its stopped crashing but no visuals

So you turn the switches ON, then the HUD disappeared :lol:

Rosenblack · January 11, 2012

oh so does that mean I have to turn them off...

edit

i turned off all the HUD switches and the error came up again...

Edited January 11, 2012 by Rosenblack

burandon · January 11, 2012

See if this happens in a fresh project, if so then must be a incompatibility issue, then try changing the order of the script.

Rosenblack · January 11, 2012

I'll check now

edit

works in a fresh project but no matter where i put in it my existing project it now comes up with

SystemStackError occurred

stack Level too deep

i am the destroyer of all scripts, i seem to kill them all in one way or another <_<

Edited January 11, 2012 by Rosenblack

burandon · January 11, 2012

try adding

unless $@

to the line 189

  alias hud_angelo_vertical create_all_windows

Like that:

  alias hud_angelo_vertical create_all_windows unless $@

Rosenblack · January 12, 2012

will do when I fix my computer, (it broke today so im fixing it and using my second computer right now) game is on my broken one...

Zerbu · January 13, 2012

Looks good. But I think the method that checks if the stats change is screwed.

Add a line like
print 'refreshing'
in the refresh method to see what I mean.

I hope that helps.

Just a small correction: in RMVXA they changed print to msgbox.

Nicke · January 13, 2012

Yep but you can still use p or print when using debug window.
