Quick InfoVersion: Alpha R6
Made for RPG Maker MZ 1.9.0
The BasicsEach hidden object scene is made up of the following elements in order:
1) Background Image - static image shown in the background

2) Hidden Objects - Static images that display or not based on whether the player has "found" them (clicked on them).

3) Foreground Image - Static image that displays above the hidden objects, used to partially obscure hidden objects.

I recommend to make scenes by drawing a background + foreground, and then placing hidden objects in your favorite photo editor to get their x, y coordinates for the plugin parameters that way.

The window at the bottom is 1/6th the height of the resolution, by default this means that images should have a blank part 104 pixels tall at the bottom. Background and Foreground images should be the size of the screen.
Plugin CommandsThis plugin supports the following plugin commands:
Call Scene - Calls the hidden object scene of the provided identifier.

Check For Scene Completed - Checks if the given scene has been completed (all hidden objects found)

Check For Object Found - Checks if the given object in the given scene was found

Reset Scene - Resets the scene to all objects unfound. Optionally, reset the completed flag too.
Saved GamesThis plugin is partially compatible with saved games. This means you can:

✓ Add this plugin to a saved game and it will work as expected.
✘ Modifying plugin parameters is not fully supported. The following will not work correctly in previously saved games: Adding or removing objects in an existing hidden object scene is not supported. You can, however, add entirely new hidden object scenes.
✓ Remove the plugin with no issue to save data.
