RMMV Returning a state's and item's name or ID number

[alphawiz]

Here's my situation - I'm using SumRndmDde's Hud Maker and want to have a picture to display the current state of the player as well as the current Weapon in use. Since there is apparently no way to assign a string value to a Control Variable, I'm at something of a loss as to how to proceed.

Is there a way to reference a state's name or id number? If I can get some kind of value returned, I can easily name my picture files to match. Same with the Weapon name or ID.

I'm not sure if I'm looking for plugin help or javascript help. I've already posted my questions on SumRndmDde's discord and ******* pages but I'm also looking for the answer to a script question to find a way to return the necessary values I need. Although if anybody knows of a plugin that can help return those values in such a way that they could be called from a Hud Maker Picture EX EVAL, I'd be grateful for that help too.

Bottom line - I just want to be able to accomplish being able to use a state and weapon image in my HUD and be able to automatically change it when those values change.

$gameActors.actor(1).isStateAffected(1)

this will return true or false in console f8 depending of if actor1 is state affected with state 1

if that doesnt work for the hudmaker u could also try "if condition" in addition..

if u open the console with F8 and write :

$gameActors.actor(1)

in the console and enter ,you will get a lot of info what else can be made with $gameActors.actor(1) .. the state affected part is nearly at the end in the " __proto__: " part..

Spoiler: img

you should be able to find out the weapon part in a similar way or with searching in the forum for the script about used weapons..
(sry i got no better idea on this part)

Edit
In my signature spoiler at the bottom, is a list for hudmaker script input based on Actor id.
(but its about hp,mp,ep,name,lv.. ect not weapons or states ,because i didnt needed that in my case)

By the way, you can set a variable to a string using quotation marks:



Or you can use the script call

$gameVariables.setValue(1, "Hello")

If your string is more than one word, just enclose everything within the quotation marks, e.g., "Hello, it's me".

This is EXACTLY what I was hoping for because now I can simply set the name of the picture when the state changes, and the same with the weapon in a common event, and simply refer to that variable in Hud Maker.

Thank you so much!

@Dopan Thank you. While this isn't what I was looking for, the wheels are already turning on how I can use this information now and in the future.
