Blizz ABS Weapon Equip HUD for Z-HUD
Authors: RPGManiac3030
Version: 1.6
Type: Blizz-ABS Plugin/ Z-HUD addon
Key Term: Blizz-ABS Plugin

Introduction

(My first script post)
This addon/edit basically adds an equipped weapon HUD to the Z-HUD.
I've now edited the script so the weapon, skill, AND item hotkeys all appear on the screen (if you're not using direct hotkeys, of course)
I've also added a background picture to the weapon HUD. You can enable/disable this feature and change the picture in the config area of the script.
Features

• Adds the player's/party leader's equipped weapon to the screen

Instructions

Put the script below Blizz-ABS and BELOW the Z-HUD. Set DISABLE_WEAPON_BACK to false to allow a picture to be displayed behind the weapon graphic (set what picture will display in the script!), or set to true to disable this picture. You also need to create an "empty weapon" file, which should be the same dimensions as the item and skill back pictures. Name it Weapon and place it in the pictures folder, or name it anything you want and edit the appropriate place in the script. It would be a fist or anything you want that will show when the player is unarmed. You can either make your own, or use this one. I got this graphic from http://www.pixeljoint.com/files/icons/full/34x34icons.png Place all graphics in your game's pictures folder!

Compatibility

• Requires Blizz ABS and Z-HUD to work.
• Any other script that modifies the Z-HUD may not be compatible.
• Works with the Quick weapon switch addon by Blizzard perfectly.

Author's notes
I kind of just did this version and didn't test it yet...if anyone has a problem, please let me know!

[AliveDrive]

Do not listen to spammer,

I like your script quite a bit! ^.^

Sorry about that, Blizz!

[Blizzard]

Thank you. Now your topic can be moved into the database and will appear in the database index.

[RPGManiac3030]

I looked through again...and I realized that an error will appear if you try to use an item. I originally edited the different parts of Blizz-ABS directly which made it work. I then put my edits into a separate script and posted it here to make it convenient for others.


You need to find this part in PART 2 of the Blizz-ABS:

(click to show/hide)

Code: [Select]

   #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    # check_item_condition?
    #  Checks whether a item should be executed or not.
    #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    def check_item_condition?
      # disallow usage if item button disabled
      return false if !$game_system.item_button
      # disallow usage
      item_condition = false
      # if using direct hotkeys
      if BlizzABS::Config::DIRECT_HOTKEYS
        # check direct hotkeys
        item_condition = self.item_hotkeys?
      # if item button pressed
      elsif Input.trigger?(Input::Item)
        # allow usage
        item_condition = true
      end
      # return result
      return item_condition
    end

and replace it with the code found in my script:

(click to show/hide)

Code: [Select]

   #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    # check_item_condition?
    #  Checks whether a item should be executed or not.
    #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    def check_item_condition?
      # disallow usage if item button disabled
      return false if !$game_system.item_button
      # disallow usage
      item_condition = false
      # if using direct hotkeys
      if BlizzABS::Config::DIRECT_HOTKEYS
        if Input.trigger?(Input::Item)
          # allow usage
          item_condition = true
        end
      end
      # return result
      return item_condition
    end

After this, you need to remove this part from my script:

(click to show/hide)

Code: [Select]

module BlizzABS
  #============================================================================
  # BlizzABS::Controls
  #----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  #  This class handles player input for battle on the map.  Some input is
  #  processed instantly, while some is converted into commands to be given to
  #  the player character.
  #============================================================================
  
  class Controls
    #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    # check_item_condition?
    #  Checks whether a item should be executed or not.
    #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    def check_item_condition?
      # disallow usage if item button disabled
      return false if !$game_system.item_button
      # disallow usage
      item_condition = false
      # if using direct hotkeys
      if BlizzABS::Config::DIRECT_HOTKEYS
        if Input.trigger?(Input::Item)
          # allow usage
          item_condition = true
        end
      end
      # return result
      return item_condition
    end
  end
end

I'll edit the script and add another spoiler for the code. I'm new to scripting, so I'm not completely sure how to get all of this to work how I originally had it in the script.

[Blizzard]

Actually you don't have to do that. You can simply add that part in your script and if it is put below Blizz-ABS and Z-HUD (which it should since it's a plugin for both), it will simply override the original code.

[RPGManiac3030]

Doing that still gets the same error. I don't remember seeing this before taking my edits and putting it into this script. I'm trying to look into this.

[Blizzard]

Change in the error giving line item_number to $game_party.item_number.

[RPGManiac3030]

Version 1.1 is now out

Improvments/Changes:

-All 3 icons will appear in the hud (weapon, skill, and item)
-My edits to the direct hotkeys have been REMOVED for the purposes of posting this script


For the next version:
-I need to learn how to make the script shorter...

[Boba Fett Link]

Great! I'll try it out.

[Boba Fett Link]

So what do I need to name the Equip hotkey background?

[Kagutsuchi]

I just want to point out that the game crashed when I unequipped my weapon

Great work btw, I would have to do this myself for TES, and go through the painfull process of learning ruby and finding out what I need to do with blizz abs, but now I dont have to =D Thanks!

[ForeverZer0]

The "draw_equip" method has no way to compensate for no weapon equipped.

This should fix it (untested):

Code: [Select]

  def draw_equip
    wpn = $data_weapons[$game_party.actors[0].weapon_id]
    @hotkey_sprite.bitmap.fill_rect(0, 0, 24, 24, Color.new(0, 0, 0, 0))
    @hotkey_sprite.bitmap.font.color = normal_color
    @hotkey_sprite.bitmap.font.size = 14
    if wpn != nil
      icon = RPG::Cache.icon(wpn.name)
      x, y = (icon.width - 24) / 2, (icon.height - 24) / 2
      @hotkey_sprite.bitmap.blt(x, y, icon, Rect.new(0, 0, 24, 24))
    end
  end

[RPGManiac3030]

Sorry, guys, I've been on vacation for the past month...

I never noticed that problem before, but I'll post up an updated version soon!

So what do I need to name the Equip hotkey background?

The background is simply the icon of the weapon you have equipped. To be safe, I would name the icon graphic the same as the weapon name in the database.

EDIT:

Version 1.2 is now out!

New features:
-The no weapon problem has now been fixed.
-You need to specify a graphic for the "Weapon Back", similar to the skill and item backs. Simply make an image the same size as the other backs, save it in your pictures folder as "Weapon", and you're done! It should be preferably empty since it won't show up on screen anyway. I had to do this so that the bitmap can always draw itself without relying on the player's equipped weapon since he/she may not always have one.

[ForeverZer0]

Just use

Code: [Select]

RPG::Cache.icon(weapon.icon_name)
As long as you have it set right in the editor, it will get the right graphic.

I also just noticed that I made the error in my above post by using "wpn.name".
It should be "wpn.icon_name"

Oops. 

[RPGManiac3030]

Maybe, but I tried using the code and I still got an error since I had previously set it so that the weapon icon graphic is being used to set the position of the next hotkey graphic. If you have no weapon equipped, there wouldn't be a graphic to use...

[ForeverZer0]

The "draw_equip" method has no way to compensate for no weapon equipped.

This should fix it (untested):

Code: [Select]

 def draw_equip
    wpn = $data_weapons[$game_party.actors[0].weapon_id]
    @hotkey_sprite.bitmap.fill_rect(0, 0, 24, 24, Color.new(0, 0, 0, 0))
    @hotkey_sprite.bitmap.font.color = normal_color
    @hotkey_sprite.bitmap.font.size = 14
    if wpn != nil
      icon = RPG::Cache.icon(wpn.icon_name)
      x, y = (icon.width - 24) / 2, (icon.height - 24) / 2
      @hotkey_sprite.bitmap.blt(x, y, icon, Rect.new(0, 0, 24, 24))
    end
  end

Hence I posted this.

[RPGManiac3030]

Yeah, I took that and placed it right into my code, and I still got errors.

EDIT: I'll leave it the way it is for now, since it works, but if I can get the code to work without needing that graphic, I'll post it as another update.

[ForeverZer0]

What errors?
I can say with pretty much 100% certainty that the error is not in that method.
