Author: cozziekuns
Date: May 2, 2010

Version History

• <Version 1.0> 05.02.2010 - Original Release
• <Version 1.0b> 05.02.2010 - Made the X and Y module
• <Version 1.1a> 05.02.2010 - With the help of Deity and MA, you can now disable the pedometer with Q, and enable with W.

Description

A simple pedometer HUD. The only reason I can see that this could be useful is if you have an item akin to an egg in pokemon, where the item will hatch, break, etc on a specific step count, and you want your player to be able to see how many steps his walked.

Features

• A simple pedometer HUD.
• Updates itself.
• Up to 5 digits, or 99999 Steps before it breaks down.
• Resettable.
• Shows up as a variable.
• Able to disable

Screenshots

Instructions

See the header. You can change the modules as you like as well. To reset the pedometer, just set the variable (default is 1) to 0.

Support

Just post down here.

Known Compatibility Issues

Seems like it gets in the way of Active Battle System HUD's. Though you could just change the X and Y co-ordinates.

Demo

See attached.

Restrictions

[modern algebra]

Yeah, it does seem like it has limited uses. It's cool nonetheless

[cozziekuns]

Thanks for the positive feedback! Hope someone can find more uses for this then I could.

[modern algebra]

Well, I think it could be useful for some minigames; for instance, maybe they could make a maze that you only have a limited number of steps to get through it or else you lose; stuff like that.

[cozziekuns]

That's a nice idea, but at the moment I can't find a way to disable the script -.- So using it for a minigame wouldn't be a good idea, unless your willing to have it on for the whole game just for those one or two minigames.

[Deity]

Hay nice idea!
To disable the script you've only to change the visibility of the window.
Use the window-class variable visible = boolean to change the visibility.

Is There any way to get rid of stuff on Mr Mo mo's ABS HUD

[cozziekuns]

Is There any way to get rid of stuff on Mr Mo mo's ABS HUD

Lol no.

Jokes, just move the x, y co-ordinates somewhere else. And if I'm not mistaken, I think Mr Mo's ABS is for RPG Maker XP... This is for RPG Maker VX. Sorry.

@Deity: Great idea! I'll try it now.

What line is It On? And Yea Xp

What line is It On? And Yea Xp

Well, I updated it so the X and Y co-ordinates can be changed easily through the module. Still no progress on disabling it though. Killing the opacity doesn't seem to destroy the text, and I don't want to dispose the window, because then it won't be updating constantly...

Why won't:

Code Select Expand


@pedometer_window.visible = false

work?

Wow, I was doing a lot more than that. It worked in the end. Thanks Deity and Modern Algebra!
