Summary
I've been looking around for a good HUD, but I can't seem to find what I'm looking for! Most of them display the HP/MP of a character, but what I'm looking for is a unified one that can display the date, time and stamina of the player. I've been using Jet's scripts, but I'm looking for a way to unify all of them into one HUD.

http://rmrk.net/index.php/topic,38147.msg446137.html#msg446137

Secondly, I'm looking to see if there is a way a key or a button could be pressed that would turn on/off a common event with something in the HUD to say it was on/off.

Features Desired

• HUD That can implement a time/day/stamina system.
• Ability to freely turn on/off a common event with a keystroke along with something in the HUD so players could know.

(Ideally, I would like the HUD in that position, if possible.)

Games its been in

I have no idea, the closest thing I have seen it used is in

World's Dawn, which was made by Sagitar

Did you search?
<<Yes!>>

Where did you search?

• RPG Maker VX Script releases
• RPG Maker VX Script requests

What did you search for?

• HUD
• Time (Systems)
• Other things that I can't remember.

EDIT: The most important thing I'm looking for right now is just a way to quickly trigger on/off a common event using a key or some sort of button!

I've been messing with Conditional Branch events, but for some reason nothing happens with the keys unless it's the directional buttons. Is there something I need to do in order for these keys to work?

I think I can do that, if nobody else does. It seems easy to deal with, and could be a good script to test my newly-learned skills... :) I'll try to! If anybody else is willing to do this, please go ahead, I won't be angry.

Well, I read the scripts an it seems that with a bit of configuration, you can have 2/3 of your requests using them alone...
Just set the windows on map to true (MAP_TIME_WINDOW = true      STAMINA_ON_MAP = true) plus set the coorinates to a proper value (a few playtests should suffice to find what these are, I would do it myself, but I haven't got RMVX on this PC).

I will do a script for the common event part.

For some reason the Stamina Window won't show up even if I put the setting as "True" (It will show up on the menu when one presses escape.)

I went into the code and messed with it a little, and I think I have something working, but I think I will do that!

And thank you thank you thank you for writing a script  ;D

I did it! :D
But the format is crappy. Anyway, I think I'll post it in the afternoon...

And here we are!

I still don't know how to mess around with the format, but this should be enough to start! The rest is up to masters of RMVX language...

This is PERFECT! Thank you so much! I'm sure this script can help a ton of people as well who are looking to have a similar effect. You are incredible.

Well, thank you! But believe me, this was far from difficult... It was my first script after all!

Actually I found a problem. It does not dispose itself. I'll work on it later, though...

I used a conditional branch within the common event, and it worked fine. So, when someone presses the A key, the common event is triggered, the conditional branch checks to see which control switch is on/off and reacts accordingly.

Yeah, the problem was with the window itself. If you open, say, the menu, the window doesn't disappear. Nor does it desappear when you invoke it again (thus if you call it 300 times you'll have 300 windows on screen, one aboe the other).

Try this:
