[mane]

my question is how I can update the texts that display the time and pokeballs
because to update the texts I have to enter to a house

here is the script

This belongs in the HUD thread... Unless someone has this script, not many can answer, since you didn't post all the script... Or at least doesn't show it all to me... I have clue what your problem is myself

Here's my version of the script from FL, I don't know if it can help with what you want. It's only kind of modified.

Create/assign your variables in def createHud.

With this, your values are updated, at max, in 4 seconds. UPDATESPERSECONDS value 0.25 (1/4) means that the HUD is updated every 4 seconds. To raise this time:

Easier way: Raise the UPDATESPERSECONDS values.

Best way: Save the values that you wish to update in variables at def createHud and check if these variables are different at start of def updateHud on every 2, 3, 5, 10 frames (just make an 'if Graphics.frame_count%INSERTTHEFRAMENUMBERHERE==0'). If one of these values are different, set a flag to enter in the other 'if' of def updateHud.

thanks was easy, but still do not quite understand the rgss
thank you very much

When you put these lines inside of a class and outside of a method (def), these lines will execute (and the values will be assign) every time that the class is created that is when you load a new map. If you put these lines in a method, these lines will execute every time that this method is called (if you don't use a "return" before these lines or a similar thing).

Typically, the def update are called on every frame (40 frames per second if you didn't change the frame rate and excluding the FPS down). In the logic that I made, the def createHud is called in every 4 frame rate (40*4=160 frames), so the values will be updated in every call.

And, besides that I said in the other post, the "best way" is to update (or mark for update) the HUD only when these HUD values change.

Does anybody know how to fix this? I know the error is with pbQuantity, but it's used in other scripts which work just fine..

Yes, I can't understand this, I never had this error, try using an old version (https://pokemonessentials.wikia.com/wiki/Tutorial:Simple_HUD?oldid=9373).

Yeah I managed to get it working.
My only question now, is how would one go about making the sprites displayed on the HUD smaller?

Thanks for the help FL, I really appreciate it.

Before line '@hud.push(pokeicon)' add:

pokeicon.zoom_x=0.5
pokeicon.zoom_y=0.5

To make the icons half of the size.

 

[aaniil]

Thank you so much FL! I appreciate this.
Finally, do you know how one would show status's of Pokemon, or their HP bars in the HUD too?

This is all a learning curve for me so this is really helpful, once again thank you.
