So, I would like to display a HUD of sorts with several counters while a particular switch is on. Counters are already working, and I have it looking close to exactly how I would want it to look using a show text command.

The issue obviously being that a show text command stops everything until the user acknowledges the message and then clears the message.

I've looked at some plugins that allow for dialogue that doesn't interrupt movement, but it seemed more designed for overhearing NPC dialog than creating a text/HUD element like this. Similarly, I looked at a plugin which allowed you to create a HUD, but it had a bazillion features I do not need and seems to have issues running alongside YEP_CoreEngine. I would like to use something simpler, considering I only need it for this one thing.

Frankly, it baffles me that a plugin is even needed to create this effect.

Any suggestions?

Goals: Display counters unobtrusively with icons. Update counters as variable values change. Doesn't look like poop.

EDIT -- Found one that works and seems less feature-overloaded than the SRD Hudmaker: https://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?threads/orange-hud.47186/

Hello! I would like to know if there are any pluggings or any way to customize how battles look?
I was thinking that when you start the battle for it to appear the eyes of your characters and opponents sorta like Ace Attorney.
Sadly I don't know how that would be possible so I would be needing help! If you can help me in any way I would really apreciate it!
The biggest debate we need to complete on which is better, Waffles or Pancakes?
