[XP] Blizz-ABS

[KK20]

It's basically the only way to be sure. If you don't think a demo will help, nothing else you can possibly do will be better. Like I said though, everything on my end works. I had two events standing next to each other: one being an enemy and the other being a normal event. I activate the name change on the normal event and the enemy started attacking it instantly.

And don't forget about ABSEAL where events aren't processed outside of the screen.

Sent it to you by pm thanks for the help.

I need to change some things in Blizz ABS. I'm decent at editing now but sometimes I have problems finding the lines I need, and the things I wanted to add in are real necessary for a game project I'm working on XD;;

What I was hoping to do was:

Make it so defending affects damage taken from skills like in the default battle system again. I disabled full defend and reconfigured the core battle system itself so the defense rate is dependent on one of the character's stats.

That said, I also would like to know where it checks whether a player (or enemy) is being hit when they are defending so that I may add in a line where it'll play a sound effect.

If somebody could point me in the right direction I believe I can take it from there. Thankies :'>

Oh my goodness, this is beautiful

Thank you so much KK20 ;v;

I didn't know the skill blocking would need this many lines lol so there's no way I could have made this myself. I think I can handle the rest of my ideas from here, so I really appreciate this c:

('Course I may have to break BABS a couple of times to figure out where to stick the sound command but that's what I do best hurr)

Question: Does the input method in blizz-abs overwrite the default input method? If so how would I remove the input part of the script completely? Reason being that I want to have Gamepad support by default...

[Blizzard]

Yes, it does, but you can't remove it as Blizz-ABS won't work without it. I mean, you can try to delete "module Input" on top of part 2 of the script, but I can already tell you that you will experience heavy problems.

[Zexion]

Technically the input should only affect the player though, right? So If I remove it, that would would only make controls not work?

[Blizzard]

No, the thing is that the script was made in such a way that it uses and needs specific constants defined in the input module.

I'm making a sequel to a game of mine that uses this script, and the sequel doesnt use it. I'm trying to make a way to convert an old save file from the first game to work in the second game so that players can unlock secret stuff. the only problem is that, when i select "continue" while an old save is in the new project folder, i get an error that said it needed the class or module "BlizzABS" I made a dummy class, and it sort of worked. I got a new error that said it was looking for the class "BlizzABS::AlignmentData" or something. I did the same thing, but now it gives me an error that says "dump format error" And I have no idea how to fix it.

in short, is there a way to make save files made with a project that uses BlizzABS work in a project that doesn't?

[Blizzard]

You awesome person, you. <3

[winkio]

I realized I forgot to change the VERSION variable within the script to 2.85, so I reuploaded with that small change.

[G_G]

Nice job winkio! Can't wait to see more updates and improvements. Glad to see you back.

[winkio]

Thanks!  Just looking back at what I finished two years ago for v3.0, I'm already excited for how it will turn out.

Nooby question right ahead: What script call do I use to switch the running true or false?

[winkio]

player.move_speed = Config::RUN_SPEED

but it gets reset every frame.

[KK20]

Or is he talking about this:

$game_system.running_button = true/false

Anyways, nice to see that list of bug fixes. I noticed a lot that I have mentioned.
Haven't checked yet, but did you address corpses' Z-values?

[winkio]

I did not.  I'll do another small update in a week with things like this that I missed.

[Stray]

I don't want to disable the buttons for running. I want to activate running per script call.

player.move_speed = Config::RUN_SPEED

but it gets reset every frame.

I get this error.
