Hi, great plugin.
So i'm using a coin icon above the heads of stores/shops.. but for some reason its showing a line around the icon square that's flickering.
Any idea how to stop this?
As you can see in the picture the lines are on the left and right side of the coin but they flicker all around the border of the icon, but if I use the icon as just display it on screen normally there's no border.
It's like it's trying to draw the icon's 48x48 icon sheet box but it shouldnt be doing that.

Check carefully the iconset, see if icons near the coin has their edge being cropped inside the coin icon area. Also try the plugin on a new project, if it works properly, it could be due to some other plugin you're using conflicting with the Text Icon plugin.

Checked the icon set and they are all within the 32x32 square, none are overlapping.
Checked a new project and same is happening in that with NO other plugin scripts being used.

I've come across another issue too, that I think maybe needs an addition/change..

So i have an empty character event behind a counter, but have an event that deals with the shop in front of the character event on a desk.. 
If you use a display icon tag on a character event that has NOTHING inside the contents window of the character event, the script won't run. To make it run I have to at least put an empty text box in the event. Which doesnt really matter cos player cant interact with the character event, they interact with the shop event in front of the character event BUT still.. having to at least have an empty text box in the character event to make the icon appear is weird behavior.

On my side, it doesn't show 2 black lines, also none of my previous users had the same issue. Probably try to update the plugin to version 1.3.2 and see how it goes.

For latter issue, can you send me a video via Discord?

I'm using 1,3,2 already.
I'll get a vid recorded and up it to YouTube and send you the link here soon for the second issue.

Here's the video.. i show the events so you can see and then run the game, then delete one of the text in the one event so you can see that the icon dont show without me putting in a text comment. You can also see the weird box outline that shows on the icon for me too..

The vids not public either, so no worries on people seeing it on YT.

I'll look into that and will give you updates soon.

Hello SD, so I've just tried the replicate the issue to see if my icon has 2 black lines, and it doesn't show 2 black lines. For the empty event not showing icon, it's actually a feature enabled by default to avoid scenarios like you collect a coin, the coin switch to an empty page with no graphic yet it still show icon. I probably will make an update that allows you to turn off that feature.

For the first issue, please send me a short demo via Discord direct message and I'll check where the issue come from.

Hello, please update to the latest version for feature show icon regardless empty page.

ok thanks :)
