Keep battle HUD on-screen while messages/dialogue display

[Lorenze]

Hello all.

Normally, when a message is displayed during battle, the remainder of the battle HUD disappears until it's gone. Due to the way my message system works, I would like to disable it and have the HUD stay on-screen while messages are up.

Here's how my HUD is normally setup (I'm using Moghunter's plugins):

And here's how it looks when a message is displayed:

The result I'm looking for should be the above image, plus the actors' battle status itself still visible.

Can anyone help me out with this? Seems like it'd be a pretty simple fix; I'd be much appreciated. Let me know if you need any more details. Thank you!

Bump.

If what you are doing is just a Show Text in a battle event this should work. Worked for me in a clean project.

Scene_Battle.prototype.updateStatusWindow = function() {
if (this.isActive() && !this._messageWindow.isClosing()) {
this._statusWindow.open();
}
};

@robhav - Mm, no dice, it still gets rid of the HUD. Should've also mentioned I'm using Galv's Message Styles as well (in addition to the aforementioned Mog plugin), that's my bad.

I would guess it's MogHunters rather than Galvs because I don't see anything pertaining to battle in Galv's. I can't test this, but it's from MogHunters hud plugin. I just changed false to true in the if $gameMessage.isBusy part. Maybe this is it.

Battle_Hud.prototype.is_hud_visible = function(sprite) {
if ($gameMessage.isBusy()) {return true};
if ($gameTemp._battleEnd) {return false};
if (!$gameSystem._bhud_visible) {return false};
return true
};

@robhav - That did it! Thank you so much, you're a lifesaver!
