Summary

Of the scripts I am using, the only ones I think are relevant to my problem are: Yanfly's Battle Engine Yanfly's Instant Cast The modification in the spoiler which restricts the ability to instant cast an item to one specific actor.

The modification in the spoiler which restricts the ability to instant cast an item to one specific actor.

#=============================================================
# Moogle_X given on rpgmakerweb.com forum 29 July 2015
# Enables Yanfly's Instant Cast script to apply to using an item
# as the instant action.
# Restricts to one instant action per turn.
# Restricts to one actor ID at line #60
# Put below Yanfly's Instant Cast script.

class Game_Actor < Game_Battler

attr_accessor :already_instant

alias moogle_setup_instant setup
def setup(actor_id)
    moogle_setup_instant(actor_id)
    @already_instant = false
end

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Processing at Start of Battle

def on_battle_start
    super
    @already_instant = false
end

    @already_instant = false
end

    super
    @already_instant = false
end

end # Game_Actor

class Scene_Battle < Scene_Base

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# new method: instant_action?
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
def instant_action?
    return false if BattleManager.actor.nil?
    return false if BattleManager.actor.input.nil?
    action = BattleManager.actor.input.item
    if action.is_a?(RPG::Item)
      return false if BattleManager.actor.id != 3 # <= CHANGE THIS TO ACTOR ID.
    end
    return false if action.nil?
    return false if BattleManager.actor.already_instant == true
    return action.instant
end

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# new method: perform_instant_action
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
def perform_instant_action
    hide_instant_action_windows
    @subject = BattleManager.actor
    @subject.check_instant_action
    if @subject.current_action.valid?
      execute_action
      @subject.already_instant = true
    end

    process_event
    loop do
      @subject.remove_current_action
      break if $game_troop.all_dead?
      break unless @subject.current_action
      @subject.current_action.prepare
      execute_action if @subject.current_action.valid?
    end
    process_action_end
    @subject.make_actions
    @subject.restore_instant_action
    @subject = nil
    show_instant_action_windows
end

end

What happens extremely rarely is that when an item is used as an instant cast, the battle HUD vanishes.

Can anyone work out why this happens?

Thanks.
