Really simple HUD

[EmuMaster2002]

I need a really simple HUD done, but I'm not sure how to do them myself.

Basically, all it is is this:
It takes up the top 32 pixels (The top row of tiles)
On the far left is the character's name
Next to that is his Remaining Hp/Max Hp
After that is his current money on the far right.

I don't even need any background or anything. Just text.

Thanks in advance.

Is it not really simple? The only marginally hard thing would be to show text outside of a window, something I don't personally know how to do.

Here you go! Insert above Main and change HUD_SHOW_ID to what switch ID you want to use to show the HUD.

HUD_SHOW_ID = 3
class Window_ActorHUD < Window_Base
  def initialize
    super(0, -16, 640, 64)
    self.contents = Bitmap.new(width - 32, height - 32)
    self.opacity = 0
    self.visible = $game_switches[HUD_SHOW_ID]
    refresh
  end
  def refresh
    self.contents.clear
    self.contents.font.color = system_color
    gx = contents.text_size($data_system.words.gold).width
    self.contents.draw_text(604 - gx, 0, gx, 32, $data_system.words.gold)
    self.contents.font.color = normal_color
    self.contents.draw_text(604 - gx - 128, 0, 120, 32, $game_party.gold.to_s, 2)
    reset_variables
    return unless @actor
    draw_actor_name(@actor, 4, 0)
    draw_actor_hp(@actor, 128, 0)
  end
  def reset_variables
    @actor = $game_party.actors[0]
    @old_hp = @actor ? @actor.hp : 0
    @old_maxhp = @actor ? @actor.maxhp : 1
    @old_gold = $game_party.gold
  end
  def update
    super
    self.visible = $game_switches[HUD_SHOW_ID]
    refresh if @actor != $game_party.actors[0] ||
        $game_party.gold != @old_gold ||
        @actor && (@actor.hp != @old_hp || @actor.maxhp != @old_maxhp)
  end
end
class Scene_Map
  alias_method :hud_main, :main
  alias_method :hud_update, :update
  def main
    @hud = Window_ActorHUD.new
    hud_main
    @hud.dispose
  end
  def update
    hud_update
    @hud.update
  end
end

Perfect! Thanks.

(Also, shrewd method of putting it at the top. I would never have thought to use negative coordinates.)
