[XP] Blizz-ABS

[KK20]

There's actually a bug thread here: http://forum.chaos-project.com/index.php/topic,6164.0.html
New topic link is at the top right of the topic listings, right above the "Last post" column.

Is there any reason for not upgrading to 2.87? It was fine when I checked it just now.

EDIT: Also just checked 2.84. It worked fine. You have any other scripts in your project?

[Marauder93]

Thanks for responding. I really don't know what it is. I've updated to 2.87 and still no XP. I don't have any other scripts in besides the 3 main Blizz ones. Truly perplexed.

Actually, defeating an enemy worth 12 or so XP -does- give it, and the character levels up. Enemies worth lower XP, however, (like rats that I have in the start worth 1 XP each) give no XP at all when killed.  

Again, only happened after setting death animations to enemies instead of the usual fade-out default.

[KK20]

Still worked with a 1 EXP monster.
Send me your Scripts.rxdata file. I don't see anything wrong with the system yet.

[Marauder93]

Sure thing. Where is that located? I see a ScriptSave.sbc but no .rxdata in game folder.

Edit: Nvm, found it. PM me your e-mail or something?

[KK20]

Yeah, PM me the file. http://forum.chaos-project.com/index.php?action=pm;sa=send;u=1732

[Marauder93]

Sent it w/ link from filedropper. Beta due on Halloween, so I Really appreciate the help!

Do you have a party? Your configuration turns on caterpillar, so I would assume that would be the case.

Anyways, with a party of 4, my 3 allies go charging off to the enemy and kill it. Only one of them received 1 EXP for the kill. I removed the party members and killed it myself. Got the 1 EXP still. Worked both with and without the death animation.

Change EXP_MODE in the configuration to Shared or Bonus.

[Marauder93]

Do have a party, but not at the start. Just 1 main.

Tried both Shared and Bonus settings in the game, still no XP coming in. (I thought it might have been this too, so tried switching the settings a few times before.)

EDIT:
Tried turning off the death animation just now, and yep, XP is coming in from the 1XP enemies when it's turned off.  

[KK20]

Clearly it's not a script thing then. The only change I made to your scripts was changing the ID for self.destruct from 11 to 1 as seen in the GIF below.

At this point, I'm going to need a demo. PM whenever you get the chance.

[Marauder93]

Okay. Compressed game data file or whole folder?

Screenshot of what I have in that script area.

[KK20]

The entire project as it is currently. I need to be able to look at your database, scripts, maps, etc. If you compress it, I don't have access to any of that.
(I mean, there is a program that can decompress RMXP games, but...)

[Marauder93]

Sorry man I'm juggling deadlines, I'll get it to you soon, & it's alright if its not fixed by Halloween I appreciate you looking at it.

Is the pathfinding for this script player only? I'm eventing a boss fight and I want the boss to run to a certain place on the map for an AoE attack. In the manual I only see path finding for the player.

[Blizzard]

Check the manual. I'm pretty sure it was implemented for all map-battlers. I know that I'm using it when enemies try to find/follow the player.

[KK20]

Yeah, the manual says, right below the script calls, that the character can be anything, including map events. However, I don't know if it's just me, but the path_target_x/y don't work for me :|

So I did this instead. In Script Call format:

$BlizzABS.AI.request_path( 
$game_map.events[ID], X, Y)

[RoseSkye]

No dice. I can use pathfinding on the player, but errors happen when events are brought in the picture.


This doesn't do anything.
$game_map.events[Event No].path_target_x = [coordinates]

It's kinda annoying watching that event sitting still.

[KK20]

So I did this instead. In Script Call format:

$BlizzABS.AI.request_path( 
$game_map.events[ID], X, Y)

Upon further inspection, Map_Enemy doesn't have any code to respond to @path_target_x/y changes. It's only Map_Actor that does. I think the above is the only real way to path find enemies.

I used that and I only get errors.

Clean Version 2.87? It works on my end.

uggggh..... found the problem...

\move needs to be disabled and unfortunately I need \move to be on so I can code the boss fight + movements myself step by step
