[XP] Blizz-ABS

[Andreavnn]

Module the will disable dash if a actor doesn't have any SP?

[ShadowPierce]

Seriously man, common events...

If player's SP = 0 then $game_system.run_speed = <Whatever Speed You Want> Else $game_system.run_speed = <Your Default Running Speed>

Set its trigger to Parallel...

[Bob423]

mind if i repeat this? i have an eventing problem

i have an event that has this
player move route:
move down
wait for moves completion

what should happen, is prevent the player from passing the tile, or even staying on the tile.r
it is a one way path, but for some reason, blizz abs makes it so, if the player holds up, they can move past the tile. i want to make it so the tile works exactly the way is does without blizz abs. is there a way to do this? like a script fix, or something?

[Andreavnn]

@SP didn't know what the script command was.

either add wait commands until the event lock time runs out, or lower the event lock time (but that could lead to other problems).

[Bob423]

event lock time? what is it used for?
and how do i edit it?

[winkio]

You can edit it in the config.  Its use is also explained there, but it is used to prevent events from being triggered multiple times while walking over them.

[Bob423]

ok thanks, i'll try that

edit: it worked, thanks

Hello to all at the forum
I'm new here.. but not to RPG maker.
I was a HUGE fan of RPG Maker and 2k3.

And I only ran demos of XP till the other day..
I decided to buy XP and pick this hobby back up because of BLIZZ. Due to the "Online System" and the "ABS".

Ive been fiddling around with them both...still much to learn atm.

------------Question Is--------------------

I've been able to resolve most questions I've had with blizz ABS thus far.. but i can not..for some reason...get enemies to attack.. the just simply wont.
They chase me...get on top of me.. but will not react.
I can attack or just sit there.. they will not attack.
I can kill them.. and they will re spawn..and still not attack.
ive been at it for about 5 hours.. I've imported everything from sir lag a lot. and tried to copy the system exactly (from ground zero tho..a new project) yet..nothing.

I copied from the raw "Blizz-ABS Script 1.0.9.3.txt".
I've noticed a lot of "zero" codes..like.. unmodified or set to "false" or being disabled so far...so maybe im missing a code in there.
I've looked thru "BlizzABS::Config" countless times thinking i missed a trigger.
I've played with "AI_Data_Map_Enemy" changing "state = 0" to 2 for attack...and cant seem to get attacks to work.
I've searched the web and forum..unfortunately the forum search that has results on my searches start me at page 1 every time.. and this thread alone is over 200 pages.
I've also read the manual ("Blizz-ABS Manual 1.0.9.3") over about 4 times or so and cant seem to find any info on this.

I hate to just ask questions out of the blue. I also like to be self reliant but i haven touched C, Flash, VB, Java or any other languages in around 7 years or more.. so im really out of practice on coding too.

I'm stumped.. perhaps im over looking it and its simple.. any help would be appreciated

Thank you for such a great system guys
I hope I decide to stick with this and make something great

PS. Sorry.. I write books for posts..

Insert a wall of text here

Hello and welcome to the forum
First of all, I'd update your ABS script to 2.84 because it seems like you're using the old one from lag a lot
Second,Just go to your enemy database and allow enemies to attack.. nothing using a script.. just go and in the action tab thing select attack or any ability you want and you should be ready to go

[Kiwa]

Thanks
Actually it was old script.
I took notice a while ago that in sir lag a lot its 1.9.. and front page has 2.8 something.
I downloaded it and re implemented it and recoded bits here and there and it works great!
I'm not sure what the 1.9 issue was. I had 2 moves in the data base one set to 4 and one set to 5 rating..but they never hit me...but anywhoo it doesn't matter.. this version works great, feels better some how and the AI reactions were great with no modification to my data base.
they used all moves i specified earlier.

I also noticed that all the old lag alot sets don't work with animated char. i need to rename them all.

This system has been amazing so far.. and a very fast learning curve.

Thank you forum for a wonderful code,

Thank you for the reply

Hillo,
I kinda have a very specific  request.. The thing is: can i make / how do i make a spell that
1. Slows down the target
2. Deal damage every x frames to the target and drain manafrom the player (wont damage if you dont have the nescessary mana)
3. While you channel the skill the channeling is cancelled when you get damaged or move

TL;DR: make a drain life spell that will tick infinitely if you have the mana for each tick

And i am using the tonsof addonds which has the drain life option...

[Kiwa]

I my self am still new ..(obviously)..But here are my thoughts.

1. Slowing targets. you can do without the ABS. since you can control the walk speed with "set move route" or use the "Sctipt..."
I haven't gotten this far yet.. I'm still building from the ground up. but if I did it (like back in 2k3).. I would make a spell that triggered a parallel process in "data base > common event"

2. my guess is as for the DoT (damage over time) you'll either need to recode entirely new spell.. or maybe try using the combo system.
I don't think RMXP has DoT effect...but like I said..I'm new to it.

3. Casting cancel on move. There is an option in Blizz ABS config for many options including range and knock back effects.
casting is labeled at "Charge type" and there is "penalty".

Sorry I don't have much information or help.. but maybe it can help give you some insight to play around with until someone can give you a real answer GL.

[Kiwa]

Hey Skwig...look what i found in the script section!

HoT DoT system
http://forum.chaos-project.com/index.php?topic=2481.0

hopefully it doesn't cancel out my link since im new here.
if it does.. you can find it under "Script Database" > "Player / Party / Troop Add-on" > "HoT DoT"
one down... 2 to go >:3

GL!

I hate to ask for more noob-ish help, but I was wondering if there was a way to make it when an item (EX. Potion) is picked up it is automatically used?

[Boba Fett Link]

Easy. Use a parallel process Common event set to a switch that you turn on at the start of the game. Just use a conditional branch to check for the item and remove it.

Personally, I would make the item itself do nothing, and do the effects manually in the common event.

You could just rename the event and add the \hide tag. Or vice versa.

Wait..
So you mean there is a \command for showing the health bars? Awkward
Btw i am using a custom health bar script but i need the blizz ones turned on during one encounter
