Great stuff!! It makes my game more interesting.

And now, I can say goodbye to parallel process events. Thank you!:hhappy:

Thank you! Have fun!

By the way, the reason why a thumbnail is specified but it is displayed large is probably because the file size is small (in bytes).

Hello! I love the balloons you made but sadly I have no clue how to get them to work..I assumed like most things you just replace the file in the system folder. do you have a guide for this? preferably in english?

I don't understand your problem.

How far have you been able to go?
1. Get a balloon picture.
2. Put balloon picture into the system folder and replace Balloon.png
3. Get a plugin that TF_BalloonEx.js
4. Put TF_BalloonEx.js into the folder of js/plugins/
5. Activate Plugin. By RPG Maker MV.
6. Use plugin command.

I really like the balloons but how do you use plugin commands in the MZ version? I went to your GitHub and got the plugin from the MZ section, no plugin commands appear in the editor. Am I supposed to use scripts or something?

Edit: So I went on ahead and tried to use the plugin commands as scripts but I couldn't even load MZ into a game with this plugin in the list. I get an error "PluginManagerEX is not defined". This might be why no plugin commands appear in the editor. I don't know what the problem could be, I just downloaded the plugin and put it in the folder like most other plugins.

Hi, is it possible to make the balloons active for moving sprites? So, my players can have a hint which NPC to talk to for the next quest. If it is possible, how do I do that? (without parallel event) :kaohi:

This plugin changes only what is displayed with the functionality of the main unit largely intact, so it is out of scope for the overall operation.

I think there was a plugin somewhere to track a balloon, but I'm not sure if it can live with this plugin.

Is there any way to change the layer level or Z axis of the ballons?

This plugin has no function to change the layer level.
