How to assign a button to close FL's Simple HUD?

DL Kurosh · Jun 8, 2014

I have the Simple HUD inserted in the game, but i also would like to give the players the option to hide it if they don't like it (with the Tab key, for example), but i have no idea of how to do it.

Pretty simple. In the HUD script , after

Code:

return if !$Trainer # Don't draw the hud if the player wasn't defined

add

Code:

return if !$game_switches[99]

This will make it turn off when it refreshes if game switch 99 is off.

Now the next step is to add Tab into our list of Inputs, so in PokemonControls, under module Input, add

Code:

TAB    =XX

XX being the next available number.

Then right below, under def self.buttontoKey(button)

you're going to add

Code:

  when Input::TAB
          return [0x09] # TAB

to the list of inputs. 09 is the ASCII code for horizontal tab

Now Tab can be used as an input. So lets add it to SceneMap, and make it actually do something. Make sure to put it in the loop, add

Code:

if Input.trigger?(Input::TAB)
  pbSEPlay("Choose") # Delete this line to remove the SE
  $game_switches[99]=!$game_switches[99]
$hud_need_refresh = true #refreshes the hud manually, so that the change takes place immediately
end
