Jens009's Enemy HP Window, Show enemy's HP during battle Options

[Warder]

Cool script. I was wondering ..... is there any way you could add status icons to this? I think that would be a useful feature.

Ah. Show the status icons of the enemies? It's possible. I'll take a look into it when I find the time.

Update!
Version 1.2 is posted

Here's a little screenie:


If you think it's too clumped no worries. I just maxed it out to see how it would look like. You can disable showing the enemy's states through the config.

New Features:
- Show enemy States
- Change X and Y spacing
- Change amount of Columns
- Option of having No Lag

Jens, in your v1.1 script. Do the script able to handle the 'appear half way' (hiding) enemies? I mean if the enemeis still hiding, his HP bar were hidden too; and when the enemy showed up, his HP bar also showed up.

[CaptainWinky]

Good Script.

Suggestion; Add customization for text size. Being able to have slightly smaller text will improve the overall look of the HUD.

Looks good.....
This script can be very useful for me

Ah! There we go. I knew I missed something
I have yet to make slight modifications for this. In the next version, sure. =]

Very well, this is not at all difficult.

Great. Glad you like it.

Is possible to turn off number of enemy hp?

[jens009]

Yes. I'll be working on that on the next version as well as the appear-half feature.

Hey, i just wondered if you could give me a little hand making the Enemy Info a little smaller. It seems a bit bulky, i have tried to change a few things about testing, but end up making it look really crappy =\.

Any help would be appreciated =).

By the way lovely script and deffinately gonna be a part of my Project and your name will appear in the Credits =).

Jens, have you ever played Zelda: Wind Waker? Do you know that Link can obtain a mask, that when worn, reveals the life bar of his enemies?

I would like to do something like that with your script. Is it possible to do this with a switch or two to reveal the enemies' life bar (BUT just the bar, not the number; like 25 HP)

Ah sure. All of the enemy information is under the class Window_EnemyHP
In version 1.2 I did gave you the option under JCONFIG to customize the enemy HP window:

CODE

  SPACING_X = 90          # X spacing per enemy info
  SPACING_Y = 44          # Y spacing per enemy info
  COLUMNS = 4             # By default, Do 4 Columns.
  SHOW_STATES = true      # true will show enemies states
                          # false will not show states

To make it less bulkier, you can set Show States to false, change the number of columns to a lower number and mess around with the X and Y spacing.
I hope this helps.

IF you still want to modify the enemy hp window further, you have to go under the class and edit it manually, but I think the given config can solve your problem.

This was already implemented in the script.

lookie:

CODE

module JCONFIG
  USE_GSWITCH = false       # Setting it to false will use the script
                            #   switch $game_system.enemy_hp instead.
                            # Setting it to true will use an in-game switch
                            #   using the switch ID below.
  ENEMY_WINDOW_SWITCH = 1 # Switch ID that will be used to check
                          # Enemy Window is only ON, when Switch is ON

By default, you can use Game Switch ID 1 to check if the enemy window is on or not. So essentially, you just have to activate the game switch at the right time.

As for hiding the number, you might want to find the line

CODE

def draw_enemy_hp

and delete the text methods over there.

Thanks very much jen. I love this script now! lol

What about...making the life bar appear only for normal enemies and not bosses (when you have the mask).
This isn't really necessary. I'll just like to see your response to this.

Ah, well it's the same concept really by using the switches.

But there's also another way by modifying the script itself. But I really think is unnecessary.

I thought you might say that. I just foresaw that If the player DID NOT have the item to reveal the life, the switch would naturally be off, but either way, before the (boss) battle I would take the switch off and then after it, I would put it back on. (The switch would actually be put on without even having the item)

However, that isn't a problem. I believe conditional branches should solve this.
Thanks again!

Yay finally got the cap I wanted methinks.

Ok to show what I want (IE just an enemy name showing --- it doesn't matter if it doesn't disappear before and after targeting the foe)

General positioning of the party names.

(Yes it's Golden Sun 2 and SHtA. Shh )

There general idea across. I hope (ie just showing Enemy name rather than hp, and positioning it to where it flushes with each enemy...

the idea is to compensate by moving the name over from the center the more foes are on screen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gK3QlHXkovcso it will be flush with the battlers erm... that video though he speeds through should

show you what I mean for when it'd be in battle with numerous battlers :3

Many thanks man
(yeah just name showing up and it can stay there permanently ) No HP or Status shown.

Now off to explain what I mean for battle status

Umm, when an enemy is hidden it still shows his name and HP.
