#  A HUD that displays information that might be useful for an RPG with a lot of
#  exploring. Can toggle it on or off when needed with a button. The info
#  displayed is the actor leading the party, so it works well with a script
#  such as Tsukihime's Rotate Formation to switch the lead actor with the press
#  of a button.

  1. Hackazer says:

    hey, it works great.
    but how to remove the top bar hud ?
    i only want to show the botton bar hud ( gold, mapname, and coordinates )

    thanks

    • Galv says:

      Removing the top bar is not part of the script functionality. You’ll need to edit the script to do that.

      • Hackazer says:

        can i make this as request for you ? or maybe could you give me some references for displaying only gold hud ?
        i really need that.

      • Galv says:

        Sorry, I’m very busy at the moment and not currently taking requests. I recommend requesting a script that does what you are after in one of the popular forums

  2. Wolf says:

    Hey galv, i need a help here, how do i disable the HUD to show when i teleport from one map to another ? i have a event that teleports my character, and the HUD keeps showing up. Thanks.

  3. Wolf says:

    There’s no way your HUD shows up when is teleporting or changing maps ? I couldnt understand well what you’ve said… I have an event that teleports my hero to another map, and the HUD shows up. I want to know if there’s some part of your script that disables it… Idk. I was looking in your script and found some refreshes variables but as i cant script i tried some stuff but ended up screwing your script lol. So i came here to ask you help ^^ Thanks. Waiting for answer !! =D

    • Galv says:

      In the script setup options:
      TOGGLE_SWITCH = 1 # Switch ID. When ON, hud is visible. When OFF its not

      It means if switch 1 in your game is ON then the hud is visible. If switch 1 in your game is OFF then the hud is not visible.

      Here’s a checklist of things to try to error trap your problem.

      • Wolf says:

        Oh God, thanks Galv’s, thanks a lot ^^
        It’s solved now, i though this line was different. I mean, i though this would disable the HUD AT ALL, like, when i press D it would never shows up, and because of that i didnt tried to mess with it… But thanks a lot ^^

  4. kaukusaki says:

    I’m wracking my brain trying to change the box holding xy cords to show instead current skill equipped. any ideas? I been on this 16 hrs. btw the explorer hud is awesome. its been something I needed

  5. Yami Kitsune says:

    I put the script in, but nothing shows up in game. Was there something I was supposed to do? I’m not really using anything else that would counter your script.

    • Galv says:

      Need to read the instructions and settings :)
      TOGGLE_SWITCH = 1 # Switch ID. When ON, hud is visible. When OFF its not

      Choose a switch number in the settings to use Control Switches to turn it on or off.

  6. Tyler says:

    Hey, Galv. I have a question. I can’t seem to figure out how to display the actor’s name on the HUD, right above the weapon they have equipped. Is there some way to do that?

  7. xtomoki says:

    Hey Galv! I really like your scripts and customize them for my needs, but theres one thing i dont get working. I use this script and the Quick Weapon Swap script, if I switch my weapons with Q or W the HUD doesn’t update, until i open the menu or trigger something else, is there a way to update it the HUD in real time? Or everytime i press Q or W or something.

    • Galv says:

      Some changes I think would have to be made for that to work by the sound of it. I recommend asking in a forum, it’s easier to post code there and someone might get to it before I have time to look into it :D

  8. JooshTheDev says:

    Where to put script

  9. C. says:

    Your HUD turns itself back ON after battle, even when it was turned OFF before the battle.

  10. Mike says:

    Hi Galv!
    I got a syntax error on line 39 when using this script. Can you fix it?

    “Script “Galv Explorer HUD” line 39: SyntaxError occured.
    Unexpected tIDENTIFIER, expecting keyword_end
    …TOGGLE_SWITCH = 5 #Switch ID. When ON hud is…”

  11. Adam says:

    Amazing! 10/10! You can also edit the script to display just the gold when your in a town and then the full hud when you enter the wilderness. Thank you very much!

  12. Scott Evans says:

    This is going to sound like the biggest n00b question EVER, but how do I go about setting the switch for this script? where do I find the switch ID?

    • Galv says:

      When you use the ‘Control Switches’ event command, there is a number next to them. That’s the switch ID (but you don’t need to 00 before the number)

  13. Hey, Galv
    Really like the script
    But, I got a question
    Is there a way to put sound into the HUD being activated or Deactivated?
    For example:
    Player presses D, plays a sound effect, and the Hud opens up
    Player Presses D, plays a sound effect, and the HUDS shuts down.
    It’s not THAT big of deal if not, but I just wanted to ask.

    • Galv says:

      Very possible, you would have to modify the code, though. Unfortunately I do not have time to do this but I recommend asking in a forum for someone to add it for you

  14. —————————
    Kate’s Test
    —————————
    Script ‘add on’ line 217: NoMethodError occurred.

    undefined method `galv_hud’ for #
    —————————
    OK
    —————————

    I don’t know why this is happening, it only when i run out of health normally or call game over
    dying to bombs doesn’t

    • Galv says:

      Try recopying the script – that error looks like the code wasn’t pasted in right.
      Make sure to start a new game after adding the script.
