FEATURES
Enables you to display an icon above the event the player is facing. This icon has a floating up and down movement and is determined using a tag inside a comment anywhere on an event’s active page. The idea for this is to be used to indicate to the player what the action key will do before they press it.

Idk if you still check comments here or not, but I just went through all of your plugins and thank you so much. You’ve made so many that are so helpful and needed for a sexy looking game. You’re my hero!
I do still check comments – I appreciate the kind words! Thank you.
can it be used for commercial use?
Yes indeed. See https://galvs-scripts.com/terms-of-use/ for terms.
Hey Galv, I love this plugin, but I’ve encountered an issue where the indicators aren’t appearing on one of my maps. It’s only a problem on this one map, and I can’t figure out why… Is there anything you recommend I check?
Did you turn it off with a script call somewhere using Galv.AI.status(false); ?
Hmmm, or maybe an autorun event or parallel process stops them. Turn off any of those you have running to test.
Hello! First of all thank you for all your plug-ins! It helps a lot. I’m a complete noob when it comes to coding and stuff and I also just started using RPG maker MZ. I just have 1 question for this plugin.
Do I need to write Galv.AI.status(true); to every single one of the events/ maps I want this to appear on or can I just use the script call in the very beginning of the game and just use for them?
Thanks!
You can use it just once and it will stay true until you use that script again to make it false :)
Is there a way to use variable as icon index? Thank you.
I didn’t implement that, sorry. Changing the page based on variable would be the only way.
I see. Thank you. Is there any possibility that it will be implemented or not?
Sorry, no – I get so many requests I just cannot do them all. You could try asking in a forum if someone would write a patch for you.
I tried the Indicators, but doensn’t work.
Sorry this plugin works, it was my issue, thanks!.
Thank you for making MZ plugins. You make some really useful plugins and I really appreciate the time and effort you put into your work.
THANK YOU GALV.
I’m trying to use this plug in but I think I’m messing up. I put a Comment with the code
Also, in the event I put a script call with Galv.AI.status(true)
Indicator is not appearing. I’m sure its me doing something wrong. I’ve read the add on instructions and it seemed pretty straight forward but I guess im forgetting something.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Check out the demo and compare what you did to see if there’s any difference.
Hi Galv,
is there a possibility to change the x position of the icon as well? Or an easy way to implement it?
Thanks,
Rinober
Not without changing the plugin code, sorry.
Thanks for all of your amazing work, Galv.
Quick question: Is this compatible with your pixel movement plugin? As of now, the icon does not disappear when moving away.
Ahh, probably not, sorry. The psuedo-pixel movement isn’t compatible with everything.
Wow! Amazing response time. No sweat. Thanks for everything.
Galv, can you make it so when you turn away from the event, the action indicator doesn’t immediately snap out of existence and instead fades away like how it does with the auto-hide?
Sorry, I don’t plan to make any updates to this one.
is it compatible with mv if not is there an alternative
Someone else might have made a similar one, I don’t know. This is likely not compatible with MV as they draw sprites differently.
Just thought I’d share a little modification I did to this to make it work better (at least for my use case) with your “Stationary Turn” plugin:
This way it removes the icon for the event you’re looking at if you turn around in place, and will also show the icon of the new event in front of you should there be one.
Thank you for these great plugins!
