A while back, I thought I saw a script which would allow you to preset a variable and/or switch before the game was loaded or started. I have this script, Simple HP/SP/State HUD by Jens009. I want it to be shown, but not at the beginning of the game. It runs off a switch and I can turn it off easily. However, at the beginning, you go through a process of choosing your character, and I don't want the HUD visible until the player selects the character. Even if I flip the switch off immediately at the start of the game, you can still see it for a brief moment at the beginning.
For new game, you can go to script scene title. Find the def command_newgame (i don't remember the exact name) and before the end of that def, control the switch as you like by add this: $game_switches[switch id] = true/false
Thanks! That worked! Issue resolved ;)
