[XP] Blizz-ABS

[Blizzard]

Okay, I amped up the enemy's line of sight and it works now.  But it kinda seem silly that I need to do a parallel process for every enemy (in maps where you can shoot from across the screen) just for the enemy to realize "oh hey, I'm hurt, I should try to kill that guy before he kills me".

If I don't set the parallel event (where if hp < max.hp, enemy is given a force attack command), the enemy just stands there like an idiot as I give him a ranged beatdown.

There's a way by using scripting to have only one single parallel process common event which does it all for every map. But it's a bit complicated.

Also, can I change projectile speeds?

I didn't add that yet, but it's a planned feature for a future version.

@G_G: Just change Game_Actor#skill_can_use?. Your condition would pretty much be "If skill ID is X and conjuration skill less than Y, return false".

[G_G]

@lethal: Yea I know I could take that way but than I'd have to make an event for every summon. Thats why.

@blizz: completely forgot about that xD

EDIT: That worked but I still need it to add very small amount of points to conjuration stat every time I use it. I dont want to event this so I figure I would edit the summon code.

*cough* The one from Star G works with the newest BlizzABS *cough*

Game_Battler#skill_effect

i couldnt find how to remove the ai behavor and ai trigger in the forum, but just went into the blizz-abs script part two and removed the options for behavor, trigger, and cancle.  i game tested it and had no problem

Spoiler: ShowHide

 CommandsAIBehavior = ['Behavior', 'Next', 'Previous', 'Exit']
   CommandsAITrigger = ['Triggers', 'Next', 'Previous', 'Exit']
   CommandsTrigger = ['Edit', 'Add new', 'Delete', 'Copy', 'Move up',
       'Move down', 'Exit']
   CommandsPreMenu = ['Menu', 'Hotkeys', 'AI Behavior', 'AI Triggers', 'Cancel']
   CommandsEdit = ['Activator', 'Condition', 'Comparison', 'Value',
       'Action Type', 'Action', 'Target Type', 'Done', 'Cancel']
       
   WORDAll = 'All'
   WORDState = 'State'
   WORDTarget = 'Target'
   WORDNormalState = 'Normal'
   WORDLocation = 'Location'
   WORDAggressive = 'Aggressive'
   WORDPassive = 'Passive'
   WORDOffensive = 'Offensive'
   WORDDefensive = 'Defensive'
   
   TRGActivators = ['Leader', 'Ally', 'Self', 'Enemy', 'Probability']
   TRGTargets = ['Default', 'Activator']
   TRGComparators = ['==', '!=', '>', '>=', '<', '<=']
   TRGLocations = ['Closest', 'Farthest']
   

i removed all but    CommandsPreMenu = ['Menu', 'Hotkeys']

do you know of any problems this may cause that i may have over looked?

[Blizzard]

You need to edit the Scene_Menu part of Blizz-ABS. It's the part with the case-when branching. You pretty much just need to delete the part that calls the AI Trigger scene and decrease the indices in the case branches below.

Game_Battler#skill_effect

Okay then how do I check to see if its a summon skill?

[Blizzard]

BlizzABS::Skills.type(skill.id)[0] == BlizzABS::SUMMON

[G_G]

this is what I have.

class Game_Battler
  alias gg_skill_effect skill_effect
  def skill_effect(user, skill)
    if BlizzABS::Skills.type(skill.id)[0] == BlizzABS::SUMMON
      user.summon += 1
    end
    gg_skill_effect(user, skill)
  end
end

And its not adding to the summon at all. I have the summon showing in the status screen and it just shows 1 which was the default you start with.

[Blizzard]

Rrrrrrright, it's a summon skill. It needs to go into Map_Battler instead. Also, your code could cause bugs beyond comprehension because you're not returning the result value properly.

class Map_Battler
  alias skill_effect_summon_later skill_effect
  def skill_effect(character, _battler, skill)
    result = skill_effect_summon_later(character, _battler, skill)
    if result
      if BlizzABS::Skills.type(skill.id)[0] == BlizzABS::SUMMON
        user.summon += 1
      end
    end
    return result
  end
end

thanks blizzy works like a charm *lv's up*

and is it possible for summons to summon summons?
Like I summon a Queen Spider and it can summon Spiderlings. I summoned a summon with only summon skills and all it would do is attack.

EDIT: Nevermind it doesnt work still. It still says Summon is 1 and it wont change.

[winkio]

change user to something else, I think it should be character.  If you change parameter names, change them all the way through.

[Blizzard]

Yeah, it should be _battler. I'm actually surprised that it didn't crash since user isn't defined. Are you sure that the skill is executed properly? It seems to me that skill_effect doesn't return true.

And yes, summons can summon.

[OracleGames]

Hey blizz did you erased or modified a part from your script (part3) in last updates called "hud-class"..
i made a little addition to make hud dissapear in some parts of the game using call script so you could see a nice intro whitout noticing your characters level,HP and SP but now im not able to find that part of the script...
my scripting knowledge is limited so i need some help.

[Blizzard]

Not that I know. Press CTRL+SHIFT+F and type in "class Hud". Or you could simply turn off the HUD with a script call.

[Holyrapid]

I´m not sure, but it would seem like STCMS is doing something with BABS, since the pre-menu or mini-menu won´t appear...
How do i fix this?

I changed it to _battler and character still nothing. The skills working fine because it is summoning the rat.

[Blizzard]

It seems to me that skill_effect doesn't return true.

So find out why.

Okay now I'm not to sure if this is a problem on my behalf but I can't possibly figure out what I'm doing wrong but whenever I try to use a timed item and I have it set to explode I get the following error:

'Script Blizz ABS pt 3' line 3895: NoMethodError occured.
undefined method 'util' for #<BlizzABS::Processor:0x7ed18>

which in term takes me to line 3895 where the code is:

consider_all = $BlizzABS.util.get_scope_data(object.scope)[2]
    end

Again I'm not to sure if its something I'm not doing right or whatever. I think it might be because I don't have the scope set to target one enemy or all or whatever the case may be. I'll play around for a bit and see if I can work around it but any assistance would be and is greatly appreciated.
