Skill Description tooltip?

  1. Hey all,
    Just curious if there's a way to show the skill's description (the one entered in the text field for the skill) via a tooltip or whatever when mousing or moving over it, or displaying it at the top of the screen at least or at a fixed coordinate? I'm using MOGHunter's BattleHud if that changes the equation a bit.

    Thanks!
  2. I don't really understand. So you want to show the skills description via a tooltip?
  3. Yes. As it stands, I mouse over the skill (or move over them using the keys) and it doesn't show any description at all, using MogHunter's BattleHud. Either i'd like the option to use a tooltip, or the option to display the skill description at an x,y coordinate.
  4. Which BattleHud do you use? MOG has different versions.
  5. So you don't want to use the default help window?
  6. That would be awesome, though it wouldn't need to be fancy, just something that showed what the skill does, so I can avoid the issues I had with my last game where people didn't know what the skills did (and few stopped to read the help, where they were described).

    I turned on the Help window/layout, and it doesn't appear or seem to do anything with skills.
  8. @SimProse
    Are the x, y, width, height parameters for the help window correct?
    I just tested the default settings in the MOG_MasterDemo and it showed the help window for skills in battle.
  9. I have my skills on the starting menu that pops up, I should point out. So maybe I should amend my request to something where I can control exactly what is displayed when you mouse over the initial options that pop up when a combat starts.
  10. Oh, so you mean the Party Command Window?
  11. Right, yes.
  12. You want a tooltip that expands and tells more/different than the skill description window?
  13. PM'ed you. It sorta works for some purposes. I imagine this will work nicely in many situations. Good work! :)
  14. Issue has been addressed. Can be closed. :)
