RMMV MV Status Ailment Window

[UnforseenUplink]

Hi there! I'm looking for a plugin that will make status ailments appear in a separate window on the battle screen. Are there any for front facing battles?

Only one I can think of is Olivia's Tooltips. It shows a list of what the status effects actually do if you hover your mouse over the enemy, but I dunno if that's what you want.

Also, it costs money.

You can also use my Icon Captions plugin for this. You can find a link for it in my signature.

 

[UnforseenUplink]

Neither of these are really what I'm looking for, I'm mostly looking for a plugin that will display the ailment icons in a separate window from the players health and MP.

 

[kyonides]

So you just want to keep track of their current states on a different window, right?

 

[UnforseenUplink]

Exactly, yeah

Well, if you where using the default BS or some plugin that doesn't heavily alter its code, you could use my code here:

//=============================================================================
// * KShowBattleStatesMV.js
//=============================================================================
/*:
 * @plugindesc It simply creates a new window where you can keep track of all
 * of the heroes' states without cluttering the Actors' Status Window
 * @author Kyonides Arkanthes
 * @help Date: 2023-02-10.
 * # * Free as in Beer * #
 * If you want to change the button that changes the Battle Status window's
 * contents, simply click on the only Plugin Parameter this code has and
 * enter your favorite button therein.
 * @param View Mode Button
 * @type text
 * @text View Mode Button
 * @value shift
 * @default shift
 *

function KShowBattleStates() {
  throw new Error('Seriously, why would you ever treat a static class just ' +
    'like a regular function?');
};

const param = PluginManager.parameters("KShowBattleStatesMV");

KShowBattleStates.view_button = param["View Mode Button"];
KShowBattleStates.default_mode = true;
KShowBattleStates.times = 0;
KShowBattleStates.view_command = "Show/Hide States";
KShowBattleStates.make_comm_list = Window_PartyCommand.prototype.makeCommandList;
KShowBattleStates.win_init = Window_BattleStatus.prototype.initialize;

Window_BattleStatus.prototype.initialize = function() {
  KShowBattleStates.win_init.call(this);
  this.view_button = KShowBattleStates.view_button;
  this.reset_timer();
  KShowBattleStates.times = 0;
};

Window_BattleStatus.prototype.reset_timer = function() {
  Input.clear;
  KShowBattleStates.times++;
  this.input_timer = 1;
};

Window_PartyCommand.prototype.makeCommandList = function() {
  KShowBattleStates.make_comm_list.call(this);
  this.addCommand(KShowBattleStates.view_command, 'states');
};

Window_BattleStatus.prototype.drawItem = function(index) {
  let actor = $gameParty.battleMembers()[index];
  this.drawBasicArea(this.basicAreaRect(index), actor);
  if (KShowBattleStates.default_mode) {
    this.drawGaugeArea(this.gaugeAreaRect(index), actor);
  }
};

Window_BattleStatus.prototype.basicAreaRect = function(index) {
  let rect = this.itemRectForText(index);
  if (KShowBattleStates.default_mode) {
    rect.width -= this.gaugeAreaWidth() + 15;
  }
  return rect;
};

Window_BattleStatus.prototype.drawBasicArea = function(rect, actor) {
  this.drawActorName(actor, rect.x + 0, rect.y, 150);
  if (!KShowBattleStates.default_mode) {
    this.drawActorIcons(actor, rect.x + 156, rect.y, rect.width - 156);
  }
};

Window_BattleStatus.prototype.is_time_up = function() {
  return this.input_timer == 0 && KShowBattleStates.times == 0;
};

Window_BattleStatus.prototype.update = function() {
  Window_Selectable.prototype.update.call(this);
  if (this.input_timer > 0) {
    this.input_timer--;
    KShowBattleStates.times = this.input_timer == 0 ? 0 : 1;
    return true;
  }
  if (Input.isTriggered(this.view_button) && this.is_time_up()) {
    SoundManager.playOk;
    KShowBattleStates.default_mode = !KShowBattleStates.default_mode;
    this.refresh();
    this.reset_timer();
  }
};

I've only tested it using the default BS so...

 

[UnforseenUplink]

It only seems to partially work for me, I made a new project to test it and it only seems to appear over enemies. I've tried using the option in the party select to show them and pressing shift but the window never seems to appear. Am I doing something wrong?

 

[kyonides]

Well, I still don't know which battle system you're using so it's hard to come up with a solution tailored to your BS. I had to include a weird condition to make it work. Let's see what happens if you disable it.

In line 44 replace:

KShowBattleStates.times++;

with:

KShowBattleStates.times = 0;

If it still doesn't work as intended, then I'd need to know what's the name of your BS plugin and work on some sort of rewrite or aliasing of many BattleStatus related functions.

 

[UnforseenUplink]

My bad, I should've specified. I'm using Yanfly's Battle Engine Core for my games battles.

I tried replacing the line in my test project as well, no extra battle stuff just default front facing battles, and no window for the players.
