Any help on making this work my picture just never shows when I use this and I followed the instructions
Viewing post in Picture Hologram Plugin [for RPG Maker MZ] comments
Thank you for your comment!
If the picture does not appear, the most common cause is that the filter command is executed before the picture sprite is fully created.
Please try adding a short wait (1–5 frames) after the “Show Picture” command before running the “onFilter” command.
Also, please double-check:
• The picture ID matches exactly
• No other picture filter plugins are overriding PIXI filters
If it still does not work, please let me know:
• Your RPG Maker version
• A screenshot of your event setup
• A list of active plugins
I’ll be happy to help further!
Thanks for your patience!
I’ve uploaded a sample project to the itch.io page.
Could you please download the sample project and check if it works correctly on your side?
If it works in the sample but not in your project, then the issue is likely caused by a project-specific setting or plugin interaction. If it doesn’t work even in the sample, please let me know and share any console errors (press F8 → Console).
That will help me narrow it down quickly.
Thanks again!
Great — that means the plugin itself is working correctly 👍
The issue is likely because you are running the “Enable Filter” command inside a Parallel Process.
This plugin is designed to apply the filter once.
If you run the command every frame (which happens in a parallel event), it keeps resetting the filter and prevents it from displaying properly.
Instead, please try:
-
Show Picture
-
Wait 1 frame
-
Run “Enable Filter” once
-
Do not run it repeatedly
If you need it triggered from a parallel event, use a switch so the command only runs once, then turn the switch off.
