Full Version: A HUD that you can turn on and off?
Hey, I have a part in my game, which is pretty much a survival mini-game. I don't want the player to be able to open the menu during this part but knowing how much health you have is pretty important so what I need is a HUD. I found this script which is pretty nice, but I don't want the hud to always appear and I don't know too much about scripting. Is there a way I can turn it on and off through an event? Such as turning the HUD on when the minigame starts, and then turn it off when it ends?
EDIT: I'm trying but right now, the game gets stuck when trying to hide it.
This is what I got now

Well thanks. Any progress is progress. But how do I call up the HUD. I know I'd have to use the "Script" command in the event, but I don't know exactly what to do with it.
$hudvisible = and then true or false.
I'll continue trying tomorrow as it is 10.45 P.M. here in Sweden, but until then, someone else have probably allready finished this. Because I'm not sure if I can fix that problem. I'm still learning myself.

Alright thanks. You've been quite helpful. 
EDIT: Okay, I got a bit further. I have it so you can turn the HUD off now by changing line 61 to ( $hudvisible == nil if $hudvisible = false ), but it locks up the game. At least I'm getting somewhere though.
EDIT 2: Okay, well after many attempts at trying to fix the code. The best I could do is simply call ( $scene = Scene_Map.new ) to close it. It actually works just fine, so I guess it'll do.
