[XP] Blizz-ABS

[Blizzard]

I think I know what's causing this. A homing projectile is probably targeting a summoned ally and it disappears before the projectile can hit it. Try make the enemy launch an attack right before the summon is supposed to disappear. If you can cause the error in this way, then I'm probably correct about my assumption what is causing that error. Expect it to be fixed in the next version.

Yup, this is true. If the summoned ally disappears and projectiles are still following, then the following line comes up as an error

Undefined method '+'

Line:

    battlers[index + 1].update_ci if battlers[index + 1] != nil

The method:

  #----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # update_ci
  #  index - new caterpillar index
  #  Integrates back into the caterpillar by setting up @cindex.
  #----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def update_ci(ind = (@cindex == nil ? nil : self.index))
    # set new cindex
    @cindex = ind
    # get all battlers
    battlers = $BlizzABS.battlers
    # if index isn't removing from caterpillar
    if ind != nil
      # iterate through all actors in front of self
      (0...index).each {|i|
          # decrease cindex if missing in the caterpillar or no battler
          @cindex -= 1 if battlers[i].cindex == nil || battlers[i].battler == nil}
    end
    # update the @cindex of the actor behind if he exists
    battlers[index + 1].update_ci if battlers[index + 1] != nil
  end

error happens every single time the summoned ally disappears (or if he dies) and projectiles are still chasing him.

sounds like it'd be easiest to Auto-kill homing projectiles if their target ceases to exist in some way or another.

Blizz abs script 2 version 2.23

When i start the game i get a message saying,"Script Abs2 line 6883:Name error occured, unidentified method, update for class, game system.

[Aqua]

That line is a comment...

  # battlers_number_type

Maybe you have the scripts in the wrong order or something...

Also... report errors in the Blizz-ABS thread; we don't need a new thread for every problem you have relating to Blizz-ABS.

[Blizzard]

Either that or he put all 3 parts into one slot. Why do people do this? Isn't it kinda obvious that you need to put them into seperate slots if they were seperated? -_-

[sk8r23]

It is all separated its not in one script but on the script the line is 6833 sorry and it says the same thing i said the script says

Spoiler: ShowHide

  Line6833  alias upd_blizzabs_later update

Once i start my game it reads

Spoiler: ShowHide

Name error occured, unidentified method, update for class, game system.

[sk8r23]

Well I still do not understand cause the only scripts i fully have is blizz-abs andsome of mogs scripts:

Spoiler: ShowHide

MOG - MPW Map_Name
           MOG - Scene Title Celia
           MOG - Scene Shop
           MOG - Scene Equip
           MOG - Scene Item
           MOG - Scene Game Over
           MOG - Scene File

Dont get mad if im doing anything stupid or i didnt read right cause im sorta new to Xp i usually used rm2k3 and im not fully knowing of everything about rmxp.

[Blizzard]

The only way how you can be getting this error is if you put Blizz-ABS above Game_System. In other words your scripts are NOT in the right order.

[sk8r23]

it is not above game system i always make shore its above main but this is the order of my scripts:

Spoiler: ShowHide

MOG - MPW Map_Name
           MOG - Scene Title Celia
           MOG - Scene Shop
           MOG - Scene Equip
           MOG - Scene Item
           MOG - Scene Game Over
           MOG - Scene File
           Blizz-Abs1
           Blizz-Abs2
           Blizz-Abs3

[Blizzard]

Then you deleted it or MOG scripts did.

[sk8r23]

What should i do about it, should i delete mog's scripts?
When  first put them in they worked just fine for a day or so.

[Blizzard]

Try removing them temporarily and see how it works. Or upload a demo of the game and PM me a download link, I can look into it and tell you how to fix it in your game.

EDIT: Yes, you HAVE deleted the Game_System script. You have replaced it with a Blizz-ABS Part 1. And you need to put Blizz-ABS below the other scripts.

[sk8r23]

Did it work? Then can you please send it back to me i know i may alreayd have to but id like to have it to show me what youve done.

[Blizzard]

Just put the default Game_System script back into its slot.

Ok, it's been a while...

I decided to check out the latest on the B-ABS scene.

A few tings I noticed (which are giving me hell to no end)

Apparently the party can act freely now... that isn't bad my itself, but, I don't have all my animations for the party yet, so when they attack I crash XD;;

I have a suggestion to fix this... a final solution to this issue. Default attack, skill, weapon, etc animations that are called automatically when a specific file is not found.

Also, there seems to be an error when I try to access the save menu... it tells me something about:

"Script 'Window_SaveFile' line 30: ArgumentError occurred.

undefined class/module Game_Controls"

An issue I have perpetually run into is B-ABS tries to call attack/skill/item animations for enemies and characters even when I have them disabled.

Example: I have character attack animations active, character skill/item animations and ALL enemy animations disabled...
but when a character uses a skill or an enemy does... well.. anything... I get a missing file error.

as for any new features... I haven't messed with them yet... but I certainly hope it's everything I've come to expect from your work previous.

I may hang around a while... I may not... college is pretty busy for me right now.

[Blizzard]

Old savefiles sometimes get massively corrupted when I update to a new version (when I remove saved classes). Just delete them.
I'll look into the problems.

[RoseSkye]

Is this ABS compatible with any Message systems?

[Starrodkirby86]

Hey it's RoseSkye.

Blizz-ABS should be best compatible with a recent version of ccoa's UMS. Good luck finding that in some places...There's actually a link lying around here in the forums...Shdwlink1993 might know of it, so maybe you can stalk some of his posts.
