  def atk
    n = base_atk
    for i in @states
      n *= $data_states[i].atk_rate / 100.0
    end
    return Integer(n) 
  end

replace return Integer(n) with

return Integer(n) + (self.str)

now your attack will be based on the character strength 1atk = 1str hope this help
or just change n = base_atk to n = base_str both work, but the first way you can still have weapon for extra damage.

Here's the deletion of the homing projectiles. Couldn't figure out how the fade out worked, so I just delete them immediately instead. Can be placed anywhere, so long as it is below BlizzABS.

class Map_Projectile < Map_Remote
  alias delete_homing update
  def update
    if [BlizzABS::REMHomingSkill, BlizzABS::REMHomingItem].include?(@type) && 
    @target != nil && @target.battler.dead?
      @terminate = true 
    end
    delete_homing
  end
end

And, unfortunately, no I don't really have an example. Other than pointing you to the manual, I really can't help you out with that one. It's kind of a complicated, and lengthy, procedure.

It worked for some time... but now it isnt working anymore, any ideas how to fix that?

[KK20]

Oh, I only made it where if the target of the homing projectile was dead, it deletes the projectile. I didn't write it for if the creator is dead.

class Map_Projectile < Map_Remote
  alias delete_homing update
  def update
    if [BlizzABS::REMHomingSkill, BlizzABS::REMHomingItem].include?(@type) && 
    ((@target != nil && @target.battler.dead?) || @creator.battler.dead?)
      @terminate = true 
    end
    delete_homing
  end
end

Try that

[Wolyafa]

Works like a charm!

Now I only need to get it going for the small pattern shots...

Is there a way/script to make a skill call a script that makes shot in a pattern like,
see this picture...

(this was only edited with an grafik program, but it's how it should work...)

So, is there a way to pull this off?

[KK20]

I did pull off a sort of similar effect with a combo.

      when 1 #Combo 1
        case com.aid
        when 1 #Action 1
          return [[COMFreeze, true],
                  [COMScript, '$game_player.normal_speed = 8'],
                  [COMSkill, 7],
                  [COMWait, 4],
                  [COMCharacter, CHFix, true],
                  [COMMove, DIR90Left, 1],
                  [COMCompletion],
                  [COMSkill, 7],
                  [COMMove, DIR90Right, 2],
                  [COMCompletion],
                  [COMSkill, 7],
                  [COMMove, DIR90Left, 1],
                  [COMCompletion],
                  [COMScript, '$game_player.normal_speed = 4'],
                  [COMCharacter, CHFix, false],
                  [COMFreeze, false]]
        end

[Wolyafa]

Uh... how do I have to insert that? 
as script?

[KK20]

I guess you haven't looked into what makes BlizzABS unique yet.
First use the BlizzABS configuration application to set up the skill to how you want it. Most likely a projectile that moves a large number of spaces. Also make it call Combo #1.
After generating the code and pasting it into your Part 1, go to the bottom of the configuration to module Combos and replace it with this.

Spoiler: ShowHide

  module Combos
    
    def self.total_actions(com)
      return 1
    end
    
    def self.commands(com)
      case com.id
      when 1 #Combo 1
        case com.aid
        when 1 #Action 1
          return [[COMFreeze, true],
                  [COMScript, '$game_player.normal_speed = 8'],
                  [COMSkill, 7],
                  [COMWait, 4],
                  [COMCharacter, CHFix, true],
                  [COMMove, DIR90Left, 1],
                  [COMCompletion],
                  [COMSkill, 7],
                  [COMMove, DIR90Right, 2],
                  [COMCompletion],
                  [COMSkill, 7],
                  [COMMove, DIR90Left, 1],
                  [COMCompletion],
                  [COMScript, '$game_player.normal_speed = 4'],
                  [COMCharacter, CHFix, false],
                  [COMFreeze, false]]
        end
      end
      return []
    end
    
    def self.anim_data(com)
      return [0, [3, 3, 3, 3], '', false]
    end
    
  end

Consult the manual for more information.

First of, yep! it works sidewas



but when looking up/down...



Is there something to do about that?

[KK20]

I did catch that I was still using UP and DOWN instead of 90-degree directions. Maybe you copied the old code before I edited the post?

[Wolyafa]

Yes, uh... I was to fast and got it before you edited it xD

Uh, what do I have to modify to let an enemy use this?
(Or could you send me an screenshot how the script looks in the blizz abs config program?)

[KK20]

Replace the $game_players in the combo with @ch instead. If you want the player and the enemy to use this, you'll need to make a copy of the combo with the COMFreeze commands removed.

In the configuration program, just set it so that the enemy's attack calls the combo. Or just teach the enemy the skill in the RMXP database. There's really not much to it.

[Wolyafa]

might be, but im pretty new to this combo thingy...  
but im trying my best to understand it!
(syntax errors for the win!)

did I do something wrong?
enemy wont use the skill, (added the @ch what you said...)

      when 3 #3 Shot
        case com.aid
        when 1 #Action 1
          return [[COMScript, '@ch.normal_speed = 8'],
                  [COMSkill, 11],
                  [COMWait, 4],
                  [COMCharacter, CHFix, true],
                  [COMMove, DIR90Left, 1],
                  [COMCompletion],
                  [COMSkill, 11],
                  [COMMove, DIR90Right, 2],
                  [COMCompletion],
                  [COMSkill, 11],
                  [COMMove, DIR90Left, 1],
                  [COMCompletion],
                  [COMScript, '@ch.normal_speed = 4'],
                  [COMCharacter, CHFix, false]]
        end

[KK20]

Do you mean the enemy won't use the combo or the skills in the combo don't work?
If the first, did you give the enemy the ability to use the skill associated with calling the combo?
If the second, SHIFT + CTRL + F for when COMSkill and make sure it looks like this

      when COMSkill # skill [int]
        # use skill
        @ch.use_skill($data_skills[command[1]], true)

[Wolyafa]

ahh.. ok what you said in your last post, yep... everthings fine with the script...
I tried to figure out your script and seem to understand now what to do...

but one thing still bugs me...

and that is that the enemy wont use the skill... hum...

      when COMSkill # skill [int]
        # use skill
        @ch.use_skill($data_skills[command[1]], true)

is there in ABS 1... thats fine so far

edit : ok, I tried something, but now im getting :

ArgumentError occured while running script
bad value for range

edit2 : ok, got rid of the bug by myself  but the enemy is behaving strange... it runs in one direction and after a while it shoots in that direction (about 3 secs. later or so, lol!)

[whitespirits]

Though i would just ask what features will be looked at being implemented in the upcoming version of the ABS?

[KK20]

Not exactly "this is what's going to be in the next update" but a list of what to expect
http://forum.chaos-project.com/index.php/topic,6164.0.html

Expect more than the number keys for hotkeys and multiplayer

[andreadixon]

Hi, I'm new to Blizz-ABS, And  have a question. I like the default keys as it is in RMX-OS but when I install the ABS all the keys change, How can I put it back to where it was when you do not add the ABS. Sorry If this has been asked. Thank You.

[Zexion]

Well you can either configure all the keys to be back in their appropriate places, check the box that says [default controls] in the script generator, or remove the abs. Unfortunately, the abs uses a custom input that overrides the default one completely. You're going to have to use it or lose it

[andreadixon]

oh ok thanks for replaying back, but don't I need it for most scripts to work with RMX-OS.

[Zexion]

You don't need blizz-abs for rmx-os, but then you won't have pvp combat on the maps. Rmx-os is just an online system.
