[XP] Blizz-ABS

[Boba Fett Link]

\hide doesn't turn on or off the health bars, it just hides it for that specific enemy. You could use a call script to add or remove \hide to enemies whenever you want.

[hansiec]

any idea what the problem to mine is:

When setting the map using the $game_map.data[x,y,layer] I can still pass unpassable tiles (water as an example) and I can walk over them even when they are not set passable, it does not happen when editing with main RMXP though. (I think it may be because of the intelligent movement or something I got no clue.)

[LiTTleDRAgo]

try adding this script

class Game_Map
  def refresh_virtual_passability
    @virtual_passability = $BlizzABS.util.setup_passability(@map)
    $game_map.need_refresh = true
  end
end

then after use $game_map.data[x,y,layer], use this

$game_map.refresh_virtual_passability

[hansiec]

Yeah thanks I'll try this, I didn't really lookup the methods for long (and I am not used to work with Blizz-Abs)

Yes..That is what i want to do..
I was asking for the script call the whole time :S

Event Page: ShowHide

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I tried following the User Manual word by word but for some reason it's not working and I'm getting that error which is line

Spoiler: ShowHide

    def create_move_route(data)
      # create new move route
      move_route = RPG::MoveRoute.new
      # return if empty move route
      return move_route if data.size == 0
      # set move route data
        move_route.repeat = data[0]
        move_route.skippable = data[1]
        if move_route.list.size > 0
          move_route.list = []
          data[2].each {|d| move_route.list.push(create_move_command(d))}
        end
      # return completed move route
      return move_route
    end

data[2].each {|d| move_route.list.push(create_move_command(d))}

But I don't have anything in the Move Command? In the User Manual it says '[DATA] is a move route data array, and must be completely filled out or left entirely blank.'
Which I just left it blank and I'm getting that error. I even tried doing [false, false, []] but it still gave me that error?

Maybe I set up the event wrong? Basically what I'm trying to do is create 2 events that split up the Giant Slime into 2 different smaller slimes, but I can't quite get it to work..

[winkio]

You are missing a set of brackets around your event page data (I know, there are tons of sets of brackets, that's why I have to get around to making an editor for this stuff).  Right after you set the name, in the fourth line of each script call is

\e[14]',[[],[0,"092-

which needs to be changed to

\e[14]',[[[],[0,"092-

and the last line of each script call is

[]])

which needs to be changed to

[]]])

You might find different errors after fixing this part.  If so, post them up and I'll have another look.

[Landith]

Now I get a Syntax error
This is so confusing lol

x = $game_map.events[3].x
y = $game_map.events[3].y
$BlizzABS.create_event(x+1,y,  
'Slime\\e[14]',[[[],[0,          
"092-Monster06",0,2,0,255,0],       
0, 3, 3,],true,true, false, false, 
false,0,[]]])

Is what I have

Just kidding... I'm so tired   I forgot to open the brackets after 3

But that works thanks Winkio *levels up* just because I was trying to get it to work for like an hour... lol

[winkio]

something looks wrong with the 6th line.  You have

3,],true

which makes no sense.  I think it should be

3,[],true

EDIT: nevermind, you already saw it.

[G_G]

Just to throw something out there landith, when I gave you this piece of code yesterday,

x = $game_map.events[3].x
y = $game_map.events[3].y

I didn't mean replace "@event_id". If you leave the 3 as @event_id, then the code can just be copied and pasted in any event.

x = $game_map.events[@event_id].x
y = $game_map.events[@event_id].y

I was wondering if anyone could help in making this run script compatible with blizz abs:

I prefer having stamina while running instead of running forever and it's slightly edited to make a sound when your at 50% and at 0%.

Thanks

Actually, you can do the same thing pretty easily with common events.

Use this to help you get started. There's a link made by KK20 in the third to last post.

http://forum.chaos-project.com/index.php/topic,7766.0.html

[Shining Riku]

Just curious, are there any extra plans for defending sprites?

Currently, whether you move or not while defending, the defend sprites are not animated. Will those be animated normally in the future? (As in, animation is still when standing still, etc)

Somebody may have mentioned this before, I checked with the search engine to see related posts but couldn't find any. If I'm saying something that's been said fifty times already by other members I am sorry

[thebloodelf]

I have had a really hard time with making lifeless objects. Could someone please help?

[Boba Fett Link]

 

Okay. I don't have the manual in front of me so some of these tags might be off.

To keep an enemy from moving add the \move tag to events name.

You can also change the enemy's alignment to a lifeless object by add ing \g[n], where n is the ID of the lifeless alignment. There is one already set up in the default Blizz-abs Config.

Next time, though, check in the manual first. It has all this stuff and more.

[Skwig]

Hello, i have a problem. I can't seem to configure my summon correctly. After the time of summon ends, it just blinks and can't desummon or summon it again.

Spoiler: ShowHide

THanks in advance
Edit: As it turns out, it only happens when Actor skill sprites are turned on.. any idea how to fix this?

[winkio]

Do you have actor sprites for the summon?

[Skwig]

Do you have actor sprites for the summon?

The normal sprite
Attack sprite
Skill sprite
Weapon sprite
-> The summon only has a weapon, which once used makes him go into a combo that spams a spell ( that skill has a sprite)

[Pyramid_head]

I'm using Blizz-ABS for a sci-fi game I'm making, I'm wondering if it's possible for for the following features to be added/edited.

- Ammo clips, i.e. a pistol clip holds 5 bullets, so if the pistol is used five times, a pistol clip is consumed.

- Ammo being hotkeyed before it can be consumed, I was wondering if this feature could be disabled, i.e as long as the item is in your inventory it will be consumed.

-Faster projectile speed. this is slightly self explanitory really.

Also; I'm not entirely sure how to create an item that carries the attack power instead of the weapon.
"it is possible to create weapons with no power and make the ammunition carry the power effects"

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

P.Head

[winkio]

@Skwig: hm, I have to test it further.  It might be a bug in the script.

@Pyramid_head: the ammo stuff can be done with a separate script for now, but will be included in version 3.0.  Projectile speed needs a larger rework, but is still planned for version 3.0.
