[XP] Blizz-ABS

[dnasman]

*sorry for the doublepost*

Please help me guys, i still have the problem with the changing sprite for each action combo

thnx

[RPGManiac3030]

Uh, I randomly got this error...



It's only happening when I'm on this specific map, so I think it's something with the events on that map. I can't find out what it is, though...

[winkio]

hm, where are you calling action button from, because that's not part of blizzabs.  If it's a trigger, it should be a comment, not a script call.

[RPGManiac3030]

Yeah, I have them in the comments.


EDIT: Also, the map numbers in the ABS-Config for the ABSEAL don't match up with the map numbers in my game. Is it because I deleted some maps?

[Inca]

Thanks, JellalFerd, for your answer - it's really helped me!
How can i transformed one enemy to another enemy (if it is possible)? For example, when enemy got Knockout State it turned into another enemy in Database.

Sorry for the cut off at the conditional branch;

$BlizzABS.enemy_has_state?(event_id, state_id)

EDIT:
Nevermind, just tested it. Doesn't work.
~by Blizz: Please use spoilers for images. Thank you.
Sorry, Blizzard. I keep forgetting. 

[Inca]

So, it's work or not? I try it - monster got State and that is all... Do i understand you correctly? - the event you wrote above got to be an enemy event? I made so and nothing happend.

[RPGManiac3030]

Ok I think I fixed it by re-doing every event that required the Trigger.

[Inca]

Hey, guys, where i have a mistake? I wrote this script to create event using manual:

$BlizzABS.create_event (X, Y, 'sheep', [[[], [0, '167-Small09', 0, 2, 0, 255, 0], 1, 4, 4, [], true, false, false,false, false, 0, []]])

And it worked - i inserted numbers instead of X and Y. But when i try to insert variables (coordinates of existent event) ...

$BlizzABS.create_event ($game_map.events[001].x, $game_map.events[001].y, 'sheep', [[[], [0, '167-Small09', 0, 2, 0, 255, 0], 1, 4, 4, [], true, false, false,false, false, 0, []]])

...maker crushed with SyntaxError. Can anybody help me?

[Blizzard]

Not 001, but just 1 without the leading zeros. That's one thing.
The second thing is that the command probably doesn't fit. Make line breaks only after the commas and it should work fine.

[Inca]

Hm... thanks, Blizzard. I edited script and finally got it correct separation into lines. But then another problem appeared. You see, all of my last requests are connect with my former #4446 message. I found out that if i place any commands into event page of a monster's event, the list of commands will run only when monster die. So i tried to place on event page a script that will create a NPC-animal over last coordinates of the dead monster - it will be looked like a monster transform into a peacefull animal after his death.
So, with Blizzard's help i set a script correctly, and it worked, but thi NPC-animal has appeared in the very different place of the map - not on the "last coordinates of the dead monster". What it could be and how i can rsolve this bug?

[mroedesigns]

I'm having a weird error where enemies won't attack back. I thought it might be a strange compatibility error, but I put the ABS in a new project and its still happening. Here's the first part of the script.

The weirdest part is that the ABS is working correctly other than this. The damage counters come up, and the enemy even turns and faces the player for a second or two. But then they just turn around and wonder off. I also thought it could have to do with enemy vs player stats, but i pumped the enemy up and they still wont attack back, even if I do 0 damage / hit.

[RPGManiac3030]

mroedesigns, did you set the configuration properly? Are your enemies passive?

[winkio]

maybe your alignment groups are causing trouble.  Did you check it using the default ones to see if there is any difference?

[mroedesigns]

I'm still using the default alignments, and I took off all the AI on the enemy I'm testing with.  I figured it out though. I had thought that since it wasn't using the default battle systems, I could take out the attack conditions in the database. No attack/defend condition means the enemy still recognizes the attacker, but won't respond.

Since I already have a post, I had another question i was always wondering about. is there any way to make events that are interactive enemies? IE if you don't attack them, they won't attack you. And as long as they're passive you can talk to them / interact with the event page. But then if you attack them they would act as enemies

[Taiine]

While not really what you are after, there is away to make a friendly npc turn into an enemy.

Have your normal NPC chit chat stuff, and somewhere in it do a rename event
$game_map.rename_event(EVENT ID, 'NAME TO')
IE
$game_map.rename_event(2, '\\e[9]')

Thus it turns into an enemy and is attackable. I have an area set up like that where you have to question some people and a few of them have a random chance of turning hostel.

Only thing I've not sorted out with that is how to when they drop to a % of hp to turn back into friendly/as in surrender :3

I would like to know if there is away to make something friendly and talkative then switch on attack, but not yet found away.

[mroedesigns]

Ahh, I see, didn't even think of that. Very clever, thanks. lvl+

[RPGManiac3030]

I want to have the EXP mode set to Unshared, but if an ally that isn't in my party kills a monster, there's an error since only the actors can gain EXP...Does this mean that I have to keep it as shared?

[Stray]

Great script. It's just awesome!


Because of the poses for my hero. If I change the Sprite or Character, the ABS refreshs it permanently and set the sprite of the hero back to normal.
How can I turn off the permanent refreshing of the herosprite?

How can I turn off the HUD on specific maps?

Also, I'm using a custom script for Messages. The Hermes Script. How can I delete the display-options for messageboxes of the ABS?

[Taiine]

Turning of the HUD is as easy as reading the manual!

But sense people are lazy to look.

Make a common event, in script:
$game_system.hud = false
$game_system.hud_button = false

$game_system.hotkeys = false
$game_system.hotkey_button = false

$game_system.minimap = 0
$game_system.minimap_button = false

That'll turn it off. Just call the common event on the maps you want it off. make another common event that turns it on for the maps you want it.
