Bars on events

Hey Sang! I ran into something odd with the “show bars on events” feature (unless I’m just using it wrong XD). I can display bars by targeting event IDs, but since IDs are only unique per map, if I set a bar for event ID 1 it appears on every event with ID 1 across all maps.
Would it be possible to attach bars to events by custom names, notetags, or even specific comments instead? That would avoid the cross-map overlap. 
I was also wondering if, using custom names/notetags/comments, it would be possible to show the same bar on all events of the same type. For example, in the plugin parameters I might want to display a bar on every event that has the custom notetag or custom comment "Torch". 
Thanks so much and great work on the plugin!

Hi, this plugin was made to create fixed UI on screen. If you want to make event HP bar where each event has hp, you can try RPG Maker Action Combat, because this plugin isn't made for that. The feature to display bar on player/event was something I did for an user's request a long time ago. I don't plan to extend that feature because it wasn't my design for this plugin. 🙏

Just to follow up with the question, the idea of the bar following the player/event is simple to have the HP player bar on the sprite itself, for example?

Yeah. That feature is basically instead of creating bars fixed on screen, you can make them follow player or an event.

Got it, nice. I am making a cyberpunk game, so a "HUB" around the player, with info using using some variables, is something I might implement!
