[CGMZ] Clickable Pictures (Patreon)

Hi all, introducing [CGMZ] Clickable Pictures!

This plugin allows you to add custom behavior to pictures. This can be used to easily create a picture-based custom UI, or anything else you can think of to use pictures for.

Drag & Drop Positioning

Because this plugin uses the Show Picture event command, you can position your pictures directly in the editor without needing to enter a playtest just to position your pictures. This can save countless time when designing your UI, and it also includes a grid for help positioning things.

All Input Types Supported

This plugin works with touch, gamepad, and keyboard. While assigning custom behavior to your pictures, you can also set a keyboard key and / or a gamepad button that can activate the picture as well. Note that hover enter / exit is exclusive to touch, but press / click can also work for gamepad and keyboard.

Support

Casper Gaming provides quick support to any user who needs it. You can leave a comment below with your question or issue, I try to check my Patreon at least once a day. For even quicker support, you can come into the Casper Gaming Discord and ask for help in the #support channel.

Roadmap

This plugin already works for almost any mechanic since it is only limited by your eventing / js skills. I do plan to add some more options to continue improving this plugin. Below are planned updates, in no particular order:

Switch control over custom picture behavior

Animated pictures via sprite sheet animation

Battle support

Casper Gaming plugins are made better through community suggestions. I am always happy to hear any features you'd like to see added that I may not have thought of already. Please leave any suggestions you have in the comments below, or in the #suggestions channel of the Casper Gaming Discord. I add all suggestions to my to-do list.

Happy RPG Making!

This version adds the Freeze Movement property to your clickable pictures, allowing you to automatically freeze player movement while a clickable picture is showing. This can help make it easier to create a picture based ui where you do not want the player to be able to move.

This version also fixes a crash that could occur when adding this plugin to your project, then loading a save file from before the plugin was added that had pictures displaying when it was saved.

This version adds sound effect parameters you can attach for the same events (click, press, enter, exit). Previously to play a sound effect during these events you would need to add it to your common event or play the se via js. Now it should be much easier to use sound effects with your pictures.
