"!" and "?" above actors

[DavidFoxfire]

I've wondered if I've seen something like this done on earlier incarnations for RPG Maker:  A plugin-or script that will make an Exclamation Mark or Question Mark appear above a character, which keeps in place as the character is moving around.  This is, of course, for quest purposes.

maybe?

You could turn them into animations and use my Looping Animations plugin.


I think there was a quest script for Ace that would let you do this as well, but I don't know if it's been converted for MV.

Mr. Trivel's Event Names plugin will work as a temporary solution.  If I can make a small graphic instead of text or have it appear as a balloon, that would be perfect.

There is an awesome script by Modern Algebra for VX Ace : It allows to show a picture above an event permanently or when the hero is nearby (useful to indicate exit, hidden treasures etc.)

The author should contact him to ask for a conversion...

I updated my script to do that.

Now it can show names/images depending on event page running.

And if I can use a comment like <name: , > to remove the graphic, it'll be perfect.  I'll call this solved then.  (If a remove Name command is needed in a future update to this plugin, I'll let you do it at your pace.)

@DavidFoxfire,

Having no comment with <name: , > or <picture: , > in active page will remove the image/name.
