[XP] Blizz-ABS

[Blizzard]

Double check your script order anyway. You want to avoid further problems after all.

@Aqua: Yeah. Each weapon can have a unique range so that would be the most reasonable. You have the code for circles and rectangles in Blizz-ABS (but you don't have a partial rectangle for i.e. sword type).

[G_G]

I'm sure there is a really simple way to do this and I'm not seeing it, but how do we make bombs blow up rocks for example?

I have the rock set like this
\e[1] \g[4]

But I only want bombs to blow it up which would be a trap.

EDIT:
Well I went to test out my trap to see if what I did worked. But I couldnt test it, the rocks disappeared when I opened the menu to set my bomb to a hotkey.

Scripts (In Exact Order):
Enemy Elements
Skill Shop
============= <-- This is just a seperator.
ToA
Blizz-Abs
Z-Hud

[Aqua]

The rocks would have a custom trigger of the skill of the bomb.

[G_G]

K that does work but it doesnt solve the problem of it disappearing when I go into the menu. The event is from the tileset. Thats probably why. Also when I put down a bomb it didnt show up.

Here's my config, I probably didnt do something right. Does the item need its own character sheet?

I was wondering if there is any way to make the selected actor "break off" from the rest of the party. In essence, this would cause the caterpillar to be disabled for a specific actor. The other members of the party would stay behind. However, if you switch to one of the other actors, the actors other than the one who has "broken off" will move in the caterpillar normally. My game mimics "The Four Swords" in the style of puzzles seen, so this is a feature I REALLY need for my game. If nothing else, just the ability to disable the caterpillar altogether and have each actor move independently (everyone but the one you're controlling stands around like a moron when you press the button to disable the caterpillar)

[Blizzard]

Well, technically this is already present in Blizz-ABS. I just didn't allow the caterpillar state to be modified or used from the outside. It's the way Blizz-ABS handles actors autonomously breaking from the caterpillar to attack enemies. I can add a feature to allow to disable the return-to-the-caterpillar mechanism so you could walk around with actors as you please. I am probably going to release 2.6 soon so I hope you can wait that long.

@G_G: I'm not sure, but it could be that Blizz-ABSEAL is messing with you. Can you quickly make a small demo? I'd like to take a better look at that.

[droneseven]

Did anyone know how to use auto-fire in BABS for bows and arrows weapon types?

(see this topic for my question: http://forum.chaos-project.com/index.php/topic,5044.0.html)

[Blizzard]

No need to post stuff multiple times.

[G_G]

Here's the demo, talk to the purple haired guy to get bombs, I'm sure I'm not setting the trap up right >___> its not showing up when I set one down. And the rocks are tileset graphic events not actual characters they disappear when you go into the menu.

[Blizzard]

I replicated your bug. I think it has something to do with ABSEAL, but I can't say for sure for the time being. In any case I'll fix it in the next version. I hope you can wait until then. If not, you can always use a character set.

[legacyblade]

@blizz, yup, I can wait till the next version if it comes out within the next month or so. If it's not too much trouble, could you add some way to check the location of other party members, and also to move them? That would help a lot with the kind of puzzles I'm planning.

[Blizzard]

You have "$BlizzABS.actors[PARTY_INDEX].x", "$BlizzABS.actors[PARTY_INDEX].y" and "$BlizzABS.actors[PARTY_INDEX].moveto(x, y)" already.

[legacyblade]

Perfect! Can't wait for the next version then.

[G_G]

EDIT:
Figured out the trap thing.

One question though can we make it where only the healthbar doesn't display above some enemies?

[Blizzard]

There's a \hide option.

[SOTD]

I have 3 questions and YES I HAVE read the manual.

1.  Can someone explain the Custom Event Triggers like set up an example for me where the main actor talks to the enemy and then he attacks.

2. I keep getting a Script is hanging error after my enemy has one life left and i got to attack him

3. The program keeps saying it needs a grpahic for this certain skill but i made sure that in the script it dose not require animation for that.

[Blizzard]

1. Make a normal event using the Custom Event Trigger to activate on button trigger. In the event change the alignment group of the event to an enemy and that's it.

2. I'll need a demo for that one. Either one of your other scripts are messing it up or you did something horribly wrong.

3. "Graphic" are not the same as "Animation". It's not even the same word. So do as it says. You need a spriteset graphic.

[Holyrapid]

Hi, Blizz. I was thinking, would it be easy to make either a small hud section, or a small pop up window for messages in battle and field. I.e you kill a enemy, it drops, say a potion, and when you take that potion, either there would be a small message in a HUD for messages saying something like 'You received a potion' (without the quotes...) or a small window would pop up, say the same thing, and then after few seconds disappear.

[Blizzard]

I have already planned to do something like that. But I think in the end it would be easier if I made that a plugin.

Version 2.6 is up.


Blizz-ABS Config Legacy

If you have been using a version older than 2.6, Blizz-ABS Config 2.6 and higher will not be able to load your saved configuration files from versions before 2.6. Instead of the original Blizz-ABS Config 2.6 use Blizz-ABS Config Legacy 2.6 which can be downloaded from here:
Blizz-ABS Config Legacy 2.6
Use this only if you have configurations which you don't want to create again!
It is recommended that you switch to the actual Blizz-ABS Config as soon as possible because Blizz-ABS Config Legacy will not be supported for too long.
