[RPG Maker] HUD Studio/Live Editor PRO

This RPG Maker Plugin gives game devs a flexible UI tool to instantly add new HUDs to the map screen without requiring you to download any additional app first, so it still feels as simple to use as a regular plugin.

This plugin only supports RPG Maker MZ.

This plugin does not require any other plugin to work.

Custom Gauges

Gauges can be bound to game variables or evaluate custom formulas, allowing you to set up any gameplay-related gauge in no time!

Cycling State Icon

Bring the rotating state icon from the battle screen to your map hud!

Game Variables

Use Game Variables to display any game information you want.

Life Bars

As each element can be toggled to variables, you can easily setup icon-based life bars.

Conditions

Both, HUD windows and their elements can be toggled using RPG Maker's most commonly known conditions, such as Game Switches, Variables, or Actors, giving you full control of when something is displayed and when it is not.

F.A.Q.

Is this part of the Menu Customizers?

It's not part of the menu customizers' series, but you can use all plugin simultaneously of course.

Which scenes are supported?

Right now, HUD windows can only be placed on the map scene. Maybe, the battle screen will be supported in the future, too.

Which RPG Maker is supported?

Only RPG Maker MZ. It's not that I didn't work on an MV version, however, I encountered too many visual glitches that would haunt me for the rest of my life. MV is from 2016, I think it's time to slowly say good bye.

Does it work with VisuStella?

Yes. If not, don't hesitate to report here!
