v21.1 Event Indicators 2.2

A lot of games have icons and such above NPCs when it has a special interaction. While there are some workarounds to add these in RPGMaker/Pokemon Essentials, they can be clunky. This plugin adds the ability to have graphics appear above an event to add these types of icons.

Features

• Add any graphic you can imagine above an event. This can be quest indicators, persistent emojis, "I can talk to you" callouts, you name it.
• You can also have text bubble indicators, to quickly relay short bits of text to the player without them having to talk to the event. Simple text is supported, with some text modification commands available:
  • \PN pulls in the player's name.
  • \PM pulls in the player's current money.
  • \v[x] pulls in the value of variable x.
  • \n will force a line break.
  • \sc[yourcode] will execute what you have set in the [] as a script call, and replace this with the result of that script. For example, for text "Potions: \sc[$bag.quantity(:POTION)]", it would appear as "Potions: 99".
• Each indicator is added to an event using a Comment. This allows you to have the indicator change as a different event page becomes active.
• Indicators can have a bob up and down movement, and can be animated if you include multiple frames in the indicator's graphic.
• By default, the indicator will disappear once the event activate/you interact with it (so it doesn't distract from a cutscene), but you can make it stick around if you'd like.
• You can also have indicators disappear based on the player's proximity to the event.
• By default, the indicators will adhere to Day/Night shading, but you can make it ignore shading if you'd like.

Setup and Usage
Install the plugin (Both the Plugins and Graphics folders) and review the instructions at the top of 000_Settings for setting up event indicators and adding them to events. The included graphics are for examples, feel free to ignore them.
