A downloadable plugin

Hi all, this plugin allows you to show text above events. This does support text codes, but most likely not text codes added by other plugins with the exception of text codes from [CGMZ] Message System. The icon text code is supported.

You can optionally have text change opacity with distance to the player, and you can also give the text a float effect. The float effect looks like this:

You can use this to draw the player's attention to a specific event, and it also helps add some movement to the screen so things aren't so static. Floats can also be horizontal.

You can also display the full window background behind an event's name.

Want to see more features? There will be a lot to add throughout the Alpha process. The things I have planned to add in future updates include:

1) Add a way to draw a background behind text
2) X/Y offsets
3) Plugin command to hide / show all names
4) Plugin command to hide / show specific event name

There will also be further optimizations made to the plugin with future updates. Do you have anything else you'd like to see added? Please leave a comment below or in the #suggestions channel of the Casper Gaming Discord! I add all suggestions to my to-do list.

PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING:

Please be aware that you can access this as well as all of my other Alpha plugins for $5 on my Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/CasperGamingRPGM

This is posted to Itch.io since some people only use Itch and are not aware my Patreon and all of my beta/alpha plugins exist, or want to have everything in one convenient location (itch.io), or do not want to do a monthly subscription.

Casper Gaming's Beta/Alpha plugins are treated as an "early access" and will eventually be free for everyone once they are fully released, though this process can take months/years. By purchasing in beta/alpha, you are able to provide early feedback/suggestions which are more likely to make it into the final fully released plugin.

I'm sorry to bother you again. I would like to ask how this plugin has to be set up, is it with comments? I would like to ask how to edit it? Sorry to bother you.

Hi, yes you will put a comment on your event, such as this:

CGMZ EVENTNAME \c[1]Town Greeter\c[0]

You can also make it float up/down by adding to the comment:

CGMZ EVENTNAME \c[1]Town Greeter\c[0]
Float: 5 60

Sorry, I realized there's not much documentation so I have updated the plugin to include this.

No no! I'm the one who's a little out of touch! You're super awesome! Thank you!

Does it work in MZ3D?

Hi, I am not sure. This plugin takes the default MZ code event screen X and Y and places the text there, and it also looks at event x/y and player x/y coordinates for opacity. If the other plugin changes those then it might not work.
