Introduction

VisualTextWindow Preview1.png

Ever wanted to create an instruction window on the screen while the player is exploring or an informative window detailing what the player needs to do while on certain parts of the map or during a particular phase of battle?

This plugin grants you the ability to create a text-filled window and put it on the screen without the need for a "Show Text" event. The Visual Text Window will linger on the screen. It will update and/or remove itself when commanded.

Features include all (but not limited to) the following:

  • Place an unlimited amount of custom text Visual Text Windows anywhere on the screen for the battle and map scenes.
  • Supports text codes.
  • Autosize the width and height of the Visual Text Windows to fit the text you've inserted into them to make them appear clean and polished.
  • Alter and refresh them midway through gameplay when needed.
  • Remove them instantly or wait until after they've closed on demand.

Requirements

This plugin is made for RPG Maker MZ. This will not work in other iterations of RPG Maker.

Required Plugin List

This plugin requires the above listed plugins to be installed inside your game's Plugin Manager list in order to work. You cannot start your game with this plugin enabled without the listed plugins.


Tier 3

This plugin is a Tier 3 plugin. Place it under other plugins of lower tier value on your Plugin Manager list (ie: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5).

This is to ensure that your plugins will have the best compatibility with the rest of the VisuStella MZ Plugin library.

Plugin Parameters

General Settings

VisualTextWindow Preview1.png

VisualTextWindow Param1.png

There is only one Plugin Parameter setting for this plugin. The Layer Position plugin parameter determines whether the Visual Text Windows appear below the main scene's windows or above them.

The recommended setting is to have them appear below the main scene's windows as to not obscure any important information.

If you decide to change them to the above position, be wary of how you position your Visual Text Windows.

Settings

 Layer Position:
 - Position the Visual Text Window layer above the scene's main windows or
   below them?
