Cynthia Tools - Picture Event Binder(RPG Maker MZ Plugin)

CT_PictureEventBinder – Picture Buttons for RPG Maker MZ

--------------------------------------------------------

CT_PictureEventBinder turns any Show Picture image into a powerful UI button for your RPG Maker MZ projects.

Bind Common Events, Map Events and Troop Event Pages to pictures, add hover/press visual feedback, tooltips, enable/disable states and button sounds – all without writing any JavaScript. Perfect for custom menus, in-game tools, crafting screens, debug panels, and more.

✨ Core Features

----------------

• Picture → Common Event  

Bind any picture to a Common Event.  

Great for custom menus, system buttons, toggle options, and debug tools.

• Picture → Map Event  

Trigger an existing Map Event’s command list (active page or specific page).  

Reuse your event logic without duplicate copy-paste.

• Picture → Troop Event Page (Battle)  

Bind a picture to a Troop Event Page in battle.  

Create custom battle UIs, boss phase triggers, raid mechanics, and more.

• Hover & Press FX  

- Hover: color blend + slight scale up.  

- Press: color blend + small scale down for a few frames.  

Everything is controlled via plugin parameters.

• Tooltip Window  

- Show a tooltip near the mouse when hovering over a picture.  

- Fully configurable offset, font size and max width.  

Perfect for descriptive UI and “button hints”.

• Enable / Disable State  

- Disable a picture to prevent clicks.  

- Disabled pictures are tinted darker.  

- A “disabled” sound can play when clicked (optional).

• Button Sounds  

- Optional hover, click and disabled sounds.  

- Use any SE/ME in your project.  

- Volume, pitch and pan customizable via plugin parameters.

• No Click-Through  

Clicking on a picture button will not make the player walk.  

This makes picture-based UI feel like a real interface layer, not just decoration.
