Help with Damage Display (Outside Battle)

[tek1986]

I've been trying to use scripts that display a number over a character when he takes damage or gains health outside of battle.

In Trickster's Damage Display, everything works in the demo except that one feature, and this problem occurs in a few other ones I've tried before, too.

For some reason, the numbers just won't show up at all.

Thank you for your time.

Or, is there another damage display script for outside of battle I've yet to see?

If you have the MACL 2.1+, you can use this:

$game_map.events[event_id].damage = n
$game_map.events[event_id].damage_pop = true

If not, just insert this in your game:

Mind you, all I did was take out the elements I added into the MACL. Granted, there are more than what you need there, but I am lazy. Just use the MACL 2.1. XD
