[XP] Blizz-ABS

[Kirye]

I was wondering how I could keep track of an event's X and Y coordinates with variables.

I was finding a way to get past the jumping error, and the only easy conclusion I could come up with was have a dummy event jumping and an invisible enemy that would constantly have its event location set to the dummy events x and y. But I needed a way to keep track of an event's x and y for that to happen.

Parallel Process event
Set Variable [Enemy X] to Dummy Event X
Set Variable [Enemy Y] to Dummy Event Y
Set Event Location [Invisible Enemy] to Variables Enemy X, Enemy Y
Wait 3 frames

Wouldn't that do it? The only thing is that i'm not sure if the Invisible enemy would be attacking with it teleporting all the time. Might have to use Forced actions.

...I had forgotten there was that whole "Character" bullet thing in Control Variables.
I feel stupid now.

Sorry for all the questions.
Anyways, for the event creation commands, what would you use for the parameter of the Show Animation command?
Because, I used this:

[207, 0, [@SELF,99]

But, that didn't work at all.

[winkio]

don't use @self.  use -1 for the player, or 0 for the event the command is running in (or 1-999 for another event's ID)

[JellalFerd]

It's still not showing.
If this helps, here's the code:

$BlizzABS.create_event(
$game_player.x, $game_player.y+1, 
'Bomb', [[[false, false, false, 
false,3, 0, 12, 0, ''], [0, 'bomb', 
180,4, 3, 255, 0], 0, 4, 2, [false, 
true, [[2, []], [15, [20]], [3, 
[]]]], true, false, false, false, 
false, 4, [[106, 0,[20]],[207, 0,
[0,99]]]]])

[winkio]

hm, I just tested it, and something isn't working right.  I'll look into it.

Is there something wrong with using multiple events? Because, it works if I remove the first command.

Hey, I seem to be having a compatibility problem with the latest version of Blizz ABS and Ccoa's UMS...

It's doesn't crash the game or anything, so it's not a huge issue, but once I added and configured the ABS in my game, the text in dialogue was instant instead of one letter at a time. It seems to be completely ignoring any pauses. I have UMS above BABS (Placing it below causes some features to fail, along with being instant, so I assume that's where it should be placed) and can't really see what's wrong. I'm not a scripter, so I have no idea what could be causing this. Does anyone know what it is that causes this? As I said, it's not a huge issue, but it seems like it kills the atmosphere a little. Any help is much appreciated!

I hate that my first post involves asking for help, but... Please help?

Where am I able to turn off SP gain numbers?

Like you know how you deal damage and you can see the numbers? I have a system where you are constantly getting +1 SP and any time I get healed, or take damage, it shows a '1' next to the damage for the SP gain.

[PhoenixFire]

If I remember correctly, it's somewhere in the config program, where you check off the option of showing damage numbers... I would suggest browsing through the manual to learn about it though, since that's why our glorious leader wrote it, and, it's probably easier to find in there, rather than waiting for a response from everyone here. At least, I assume that would be in the manual..

I looked into this further, and I think that it always ignores the last command on the list.  I think it's because it's supposed to be a placeholder for the editor so that you can make a new command at the end.

EDIT: Yep, that's definitely it, so you have to stick a blank array [] at the end of your command list.

im  having an issue with pixel movement is seems to be setting it self to 2 when i have it set to 1

[winkio]

so it just goes from 0 to 2?  Or does 0 not work correctly either?  does any setting besides 2 work correctly?

[nathmatt]

maybe it's working right i have never really used it just noticed when i sat it to 1 $BlizzABS.pixel returns 2 which was messing up my MCES maybe its supposed to if i set it 0 it works fine when i set it to 3 it return 8

[winkio]

yeah, $BlizzABS.pixel returns how many divisions of a the length of a 32 pixel default tile has.  It goes 0, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32.  It's defined as 2^rate.  It is more useful for calculating positions than the actual pixel rate.  I just tested, and everything works fine.

[Blizzard]

1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32*

[winkio]

yeah I don't know why I put zero.

[Blizzard]

x^0 = 1 (hence the 0)

How to make a monster that can use Heal Skill on itself when in battle it's health decreased to 100 HP? Is it possible?

[JellalFerd]

Doesn't that just have to do with enemy database configuration?
