This plugin will let you add a customizable HUD on your game.

Line Params

The font face that will be used on this line. Leave empty to use the HUD default.

FontSize

VariableId
The main variable of this line. Everytime the value of this variable changes, the HUD will be refreshed.

The line content. You can use %1 to display the main variable value, or text command like \v[0002], \i[10].

X
The X position of this line inside the HUD

ScriptPattern
You can use this param to create a pattern with a script instead of a single string.

How to Use
Add the OrangeHud.js and the OrangeHudLine.js plugins on your project and configure the params the way you want them.
If you want to add more lines on the HUD, create a copy of the OrangeHudLine.js file, called OrangeHudLine2.js and add it on your project. You can add as many lines as you want, but the name of the plugin file must start with OrangeHudLine. You can use any other add-on instead of the line.

I also wrote a blog post explaining the plugin in more details.
