[RESOLVED] [RMXP] Counterattack script

[Dark_Kyu09]

Hello, everyone.
I'm looking for a particular script for the default battle system of the RPG Maker XP. You see, I'm trying to make an enemy who can counterattack.

How it would work

• When a party member attacks the enemy with either normal or special attacks (including 'magic' attack), the said enemy will counterattack with a normal attack.


• There is a chance of 90% the enemy will counter and 10% he won't


• Counterattack during battle


• Will not counterattack if the enemy is inflicted with three status ailments: Stun, Paralyze, and Down (the third is custom made by me)

Scripts I'm using

• Unlimited Levels - Blizzard


• AMS (Advanced Message Script) - R4


• Emotions Script - Ánemus


• Advanced Time and Environment System (ATES) - Blizzard


• Diary Scene - ForeverZer0


• Full Reflection System - Blizzard


• Easy LvlUp Notifier - Blizzard


• Easy Party Switcher - Blizzard


• Organized Quest System - KK20


• Chaos Project Save Layout - Fantasist


• Weapon Specific Skills Script - TerreAqua


• Advanced Shop Status Window - RPG Advocate


• CMS #5 (Custom Menu Scene #5) - Rune

Hope this is clear. So can anyone make the script here?

[KK20]

I made a modification to this script I found through Google

Counters are made if applied with a counter state and are physically attacked or attacked with a skill that does damage (skill's power is greater than 0, so healing an ally won't trigger counter). If applied with a state with a restriction of Can't Move, counters cannot be made.

[Dark_Kyu09]

Thanks for the script, but something's wrong here.

You see, I try it out in battle and when I use one of the party member's skill, it crashed. Then a message window pops out and said:

"Script "Full Reflection System" line 160: ArgumentError occurred.
wrong number of arguments (3 for 2)"

Is there anything that can be done?

[KK20]

Try putting the counter script above the reflection script.

Edit: Worked for me.

[Dark_Kyu09]

Thanks, KK20! It actually works

[finalholylight]

Help me, error when I put it below RTAB system (by cogwheel)
"ArgumentError occurred. wrong number of arguments(1 or 0)"
in line (RTAB script):

    when 5
      update_phase4_step5(battler)

when I put above RTAB,it not working.

[KK20]

The script was designed with the default battle system in mind, as stated in the OP. Custom battle systems would most likely require edits. I think this should do it though.

Try putting this below your RTAB script.

Sorry for disturb you again, it not working

[KK20]

Well then clearly the two scripts are not compatible. And I can't work off of "it's not working"--I don't know what to address.
