Target Anyone
Authors: KK20
Version: 1.02
Type: Unique Skills
Key Term: Battle Add-on



Introduction

This small script allows the player to make single target scopes reverse its intended target. In other words, you can now choose to Heal or cast Fire on a monster or one of your allies.

Yes, you can make enemies undead and attack them with Heal. Likewise, you can create armor that absorbs fire and cast Fire on your allies.


Features


  • Player can choose to attack an enemy or an ally with skills that target One Actor/One Enemy

  • ...that's pretty much it.




Screenshots

None--Can't really screenshot this.


Demo

None


Script

Below the default scripts and above Main.
If wishing to test for compatibility with another battle system, place this below it.

Target Anyone Scope
Version 1.02
9/4/2013
By KK20
===============================================================================
-[ Introduction ]-
This small script allows the player to make single target scopes reverse its
intended target. In other words, you can now choose to Heal a monster or one
of your allies.

-[ Instructions ]-
1.) Scroll down to the configurations and locate Constant TARGET_ANYONE_TAG.
    Change the string associated with it if you like.
2.) Create a new element in the Database. Name this new element the same as you
    have TARGET_ANYONE_TAG assigned to.
3.) Apply this new element to skills or items that you wish to have this
    effect.

    ~ NOTE: The effect will only work if you set the scope to "One Enemy"
            or "One Ally".

-[ Compatibility ]-
* This script was made with the default battle system in mind. Custom battle
  scripts will most likely not work with this script without edits.
* Not tested with SDK
* Changes made to Game_Actor, Game_Battler, and Scene_Battle

Instructions

It should all be there in the script, right near the beginning of it.
To change scopes/target, use the UP and DOWN arrow keys.


Compatibility

Made with the default battle system in mind. Probably won't work with custom battle systems.
Not tested with SDK.
Modifies methods in Game_Battler, Game_Actor, and Scene_Battle.

Author's Notes

Note that this only works for actors and not for enemies. In other words, the enemy is not programmed to heal your allies or attack its troop.

I have to point out how this script can be quite useful.

One idea I had was to use this script in conjunction with Blizzards Reflect Spell.  Make an Boss Enemy that constantly casts very strong heals on itself.  Use this script to cast Reflect on the Enemy instead of the Party.  This very powerful Boss Enemy will be powerless if all of its efforts to heal itself only heal the party!

I have tried it, and it works just fine.

Another idea I had was to use Healing Items and Spells to Harm Undead.  Since Undead are, well, Undead, Heals have the Opposite Effect!  That works too, but I'll have to do some work to show how that is done.

This small script seems good and add nice feature to the battles.
it would give me good ideas for my project.
Level Up my FRIEND KK20 !
I have many dreams and look for who understand me and help me to achieve them

Minor bug.

decide_random_target_for_actor / enemy needs to match scope assigned by player.  Otherwise, target an enemy with a friendly spell, and if the enemy is dead, it targets the party.

Not sure by what you mean. Give me an example of what happened.

This happens during Scope Change.

Set an actor to use an item or spell on an enemy that normally defaults to the Actors.  Then kill that enemy before the spell is cast, and it will default back to Actors, not enemies.

Likewise with enemies (using Blizz's reflect spell to bounce effects), select Fire, target an Actor (with reflect)with Fire (because Enemy has Reflect also, and Fire defaults to Enemies), and spell targets Enemies by default if that Actor dies before the spell is cast. 

IE, when the Target is killed prior to spell / item usage, a random target will be selected, but that random target is always the Original Scope (actors or enemies), not the Changed Scope.  What I am suggesting is that if you try to cast Fire, change scope to cast on an Ally, then the Ally is killed, the randomly selected target should be the same scope, which, in this case would have Fire cast on a randomly selected Ally due to the scope change.

Does that make more sense?

At first I was like "Uh...no, it's attacking another enemy..." but it wasn't until I went into another battle that I saw the problem: Reset the @changed_scope variable back to false at the end of the battle.

Fixed and updated.

One of the reasons I pushed for this script to get put in the Database was so I could do this:

Early Version (so ignore 1.0), I suspect there are a couple of bugs, but basically it allows Healing and Resurrection to be treated as Elemental Effects.  It took some extra work to allow for Elemental Resistances by inverting the effects on Undead.  So now casting Heal on an Undead does Damage.  Casting Resurrect on an Undead can cause Instant Death.  I always thought this was a cool effect in old Final Fantasy games.

# Heal Harms Undead and Resurrect can cause Instant Death
# Target Anyone Scope Enhancement
#
# Author:  Heretic
# Version: 1.0
#
# This script is most useful when combined with KK20's Target Anyone Script
# http://forum.chaos-project.com/index.php/topic,12640.0.html
#
#===============================================================================
#
# This script will cause Undead to have the opposite reaction to Healing and
# Resurrection Spells and Items.  It is based on Elemental Resistance, so you
# can give Actors and Enemies Resistance to being healed.  If you decide to
# have an Undead Actor, your Armor will use Elemental Defense and cut the
# effective rate by Half for each piece of Armor with Defense against your
# specified Elements.  If you don't plan on having an Undead Actor, then
# you'll be better off by not putting on an Elemental Resistance to
# Healing as it just cuts its effectiveness.
#
# In plain English, Healing and Resurrection are now Elemental Effects and will
# work the same as Fire and what not.  Healing will cause Damage.  Resurrection
# has a chance to cause Instant Death.  If you don't like the idea of Instant
# Death, dont use Resurrection as an Element and just replace it with Healing
# if you wish.
#
# To get this going takes some work.
#
# First, go to your Database -> System, Element Names and add Healing and / or
# Resurrection.  Name them as you wish.  Then you'll want to edit your Items
# Armor, Weapons, and Enemies and set them up as you wish.  Check Resurrection
# (if you use it) for Items and Spells that Resurrect.  Same goes for Healing.
# Give your Enemies (or Actors) Resistances to these Elements.
#
# A Rank of "A" will be the most effective.  So if you use Healing on an Undead
# that has a Healing Rank of "A", it will do Maximum Damage.  Ranks "B" to "D"
# will cause less and less damage.
#
# A Rank of "E" will do nothing.  It results in 0 points of Damage.  Nuff said.
#
# If the Rank is "F", it will cause the Opposite Effect.  That is to say using
# a Rank of "F" on an Enemy for Healing will cause an Enemy to be Healed.
#
#  ---   CONFIGURATION  ---
#
# Just in case you want to name your Healing and Resurrection Tags to something
# else, you can change the Tags below to whatever you want.  I hope this will
# be helpful for Non English users of this little add on.

One more thing to request for the Target Anyone script.  Is there any chance to allow for Target Any Items or Spells with All Allies or All Enemeies to allow selecting a Target Side?  The pain I think would be to have the Target Arrow point to All Enemies or All Allies...

I actually did contemplate something like that before. By RMXP default, whenever you use a skill that targets an entire party/troop, it entirely skips the actor/enemy selection (for obvious reasons). Thus, I'd have to create another phase in the Scene_Battle that mimics this selection process.

I've seen some scripts do this already (in fact, I believe this script already exists in Charliee Fleed's CBS), but I guess I can make an add-on to this.

The whole "healing undead to deal damage" part of your script is unneccessary as I can recreate that easily already. But the "revival deals instant death on undead" is much more interesting.

Okay, how else would you do it?  I figure you might come up with something better...

The intent I had was to allow Elemental Defense against Healing as an Element.  That means Rank A does Max Dmg, but Ranks B thru D also still do damage.  The "normal" way would normally just heal an Undead with Ranks A thru D, nada on E, and F would do Damage.  Thus, it would not allow varying degrees of effectiveness.  Also, States that provide Elemental Defense against Healing as an Element can cause more variations in the outcome.  I am curious how else this could be accomplished differently, as what I came up with is definitely far too limiting in regards to scripting for specific elements.

I dont know if you'll like it because it flashes the arrow over each Actor / Enemy.

QuoteThe intent I had was to allow Elemental Defense against Healing as an Element.  That means Rank A does Max Dmg, but Ranks B thru D also still do damage.  The "normal" way would normally just heal an Undead with Ranks A thru D, nada on E, and F would do Damage.  Thus, it would not allow varying degrees of effectiveness.

Since you put it that way...Traditionally, there aren't levels of effectiveness for undead being healed, but I guess some people would want that. Alright, go ahead with the script.

Played around a bit and this is what I got:

===============================================================================
Target Anyone Scope
Version 1.0

By KK20
===============================================================================
-[ Introduction ]-
This small script allows the player to make single target scopes reverse its
intended target. In other words, you can now choose to Heal a monster or one
of your allies.

-[ Instructions ]-
1.) Scroll down to the configurations and locate Constant TARGET_ANYONE_TAG.
     Change the string associated with it if you like.
2.) Create a new element in the Database. Name this new element the same as you
     have TARGET_ANYONE_TAG assigned to.
3.) Apply this new element to skills or items that you wish to have this
     effect.

     ~ NOTE: The effect will only work if you set the scope to "One Enemy"
             or "One Ally".

-[ Compatibility ]-
* This script was made with the default battle system in mind. Custom battle
   scripts will most likely not work with this script without edits.
* Not tested with SDK
* Changes made to Game_Actor, Game_Battler, and Scene_Battle

Heretic Additions:

Bugfixes:  Fixed a bug that selected wrong Target Type by cancelling, then
   reselecting the same Item or Skill.

I went ahead and turned the arrows invisible just to see what it looks like. Made me think of just drawing arrows over all the party/troop members.

Seems to work quite well!

Only thing I see that could be changed is Asthetics.  In def start_select_all(scope) I added @enemy and @actor_arrow.visible = false  That takes care of that initial flash of the arrow before it disappears.

Hey, I noticed that this script was unable to attack party members with a physical attack. So, I modified it so that it can. It is not necessary to add the "Target Any" element to a weapon or anything, this is global for the basic attack.

===============================================================================
Target Anyone Scope
Version 1.01
12/11/12
By KK20
===============================================================================
-[ Introduction ]-
This small script allows the player to make single target scopes reverse its
intended target. In other words, you can now choose to Heal a monster or one
of your allies.

-[ Instructions ]-
1.) Scroll down to the configurations and locate Constant TARGET_ANYONE_TAG.
     Change the string associated with it if you like.
2.) Create a new element in the Database. Name this new element the same as you
     have TARGET_ANYONE_TAG assigned to.
3.) Apply this new element to skills or items that you wish to have this
     effect.

     ~ NOTE: The effect will only work if you set the scope to "One Enemy"
             or "One Ally".

-[ Compatibility ]-
* This script was made with the default battle system in mind. Custom battle
   scripts will most likely not work with this script without edits.
* Not tested with SDK
* Changes made to Game_Actor, Game_Battler, and Scene_Battle

It was originally intended for skills, but I guess that makes sense to do that too. I should update this script again with the Target All Enemies/Allies toggle and add your snippet too. ;)

But literally leaving for work in 5 minutes. brb

Yeah, I didn't really bother being clean about it so sorry if it's messy, but you get the idea. I did notice that your script is compatible with the Tanketai script but my addition is not :( If I figure out a way to make it more universally compatible I'll let you know or maybe you'll just figure it out :)

BUGFIX

Minor bug in the code in Game_Battler Elements Correct
Spoiler: ShowHide
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Class Game Battler
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------
class Game_Battler
 #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
 # * Calculating Element Correction
 #     element_set : element
 #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
 def elements_correct(element_set)
    # Important! - Remove direct access to $data so $data is not altered
    element_set = element_set.clone
   # Remove any Excluded Elements from the element_set arg array
   for i in element_set
     if i == $data_system.elements.index(TARGET_ANYONE_TAG)        
       element_set.delete(i)
     end
   end      
   # If not an element
   if element_set == []
     # Return 100
     return 100
   end
   # Return the weakest object among the elements given
   # * "element_rate" method is defined by Game_Actor and Game_Enemy classes,
   #    which inherit from this class.
   weakest = -100
   for i in element_set
     # Element with the Highest Rate means it is the Weakest          
     weakest = [weakest, self.element_rate(i)].max
   end
   return weakest
 end
end



I came across this using Basil's Leg Sweep.  In the Database, I set it to be able to Target Anyone, but it has no other associated Elements.  Normally that would be considered to be an Empty Element Set which would return 100, but since Target Anyone was applied, the ELement Set is not considered Empty, and weakest is set to -100, not 100, which caused Basil's Leg Sweep to actually have the Opposite Effect.  I changed it around so the Element Rate for Target Any would be set to 100 to prevent -100 from ever seeing the light of day.

Cant really consider this a Necropost, although the thread is old, it is a bugfix for an existing bug that was a pain to discover and may still plauge other users of this script.

Okay, fix #1 didnt work.  It caused ELements that would normally be absorbed to be treated as Hits.  I changed around the bugfix so that the element_id is removed from the element_set argument before going further.

I screwed up again.  Okay, third time is a charm.

element_set returns Reference to $data

Need to add this as the first line of def elements_correct:

# Important! - Remove direct access to $data so $data is not altered
element_set = element_set.clone


Since the code I altered deletes info from the element_set, being that it passes by Reference not Value, it causes the $data variable to be edited, not just the argument passed.  What happens is you'll end up being able to use an Item or Skill just once after switching from Enemy to Actors or Actors to Enemy, but the next time you try to use that same Item or Skill, you wont be able to switch from Actors to Enemies and vice versa.

This was a pain to figure out.  My fault.  Sorry for the inconvenience.
