#===========================#
#  J::DAMAGE for BlizzABS!  #
#    v. 1.0                 #
#      Jragyn, Blizzard     #
#===========================#

=begin
  This script really is more a scriptlet than anything else,
  as it just modifies a few small aesthetic-styled details.
  
  It causes damage to not bounce around anymore, but instead
  just kinda sits there, and fades out. I created it because
  I wanted to see the damage for longer, and now I share it
  with the world!
=end

module JDMG
# This will create a random location for the damage to pop up over the target.
  RANDOM   = true

# This will STOP the damage from physically moving.
  MOVELESS = true
  
# This will drag out the fading a bit longer, so you can see the damage longer.
  FADEOUT  = true
  
end

class Sprite_Damage < Sprite
  
  def initialize(request, viewport = nil)
    super(viewport)
    draw_damage(request)
#=======================================#
#  Though it doesn't move,              #
#  it DOES pick random locations        #
#  from the base area of the sprite     #
#=======================================#
  if JDMG::RANDOM && JDMG::MOVELESS     #
    @map_x = request.x + rand(40) - 20  #
    @map_y = request.y + rand(40) - 40  #
  elsif JDMG::RANDOM                    #
    @map_x = request.x                  #
    @map_y = request.y                  #
  else                                  #

    self.x = @map_x - self.bitmap.width / 2 - $game_map.display_x / 4

#====================================#
#  Added to remove the move factor!  #

  end
#========================================#
#  This piece creates a slower fade out  #
#  compared to original design.          #
#========================================#
  if JDMG::FADEOUT                       #
    self.opacity -= 5 if @counter > 20   #
  else                                   #

end

Instructions
It seems to only function when inserted BENEATH the Blizz-ABS system.

Compatibility

--So long as Blizz-ABS has used the damage drawing methods currently in use, this script should work.

--I suppose it wouldn't work if something else was directly modified these methods.

--EXPLICITLY FOR BLIZZ-ABS. (if it need be said)

Credits and Thanks

• I didn't really write much, but me! Jragyn. Use it wherever, I don't care.
  
• Blizzard! Because obviously this piece would have no use/purpose.
  
• RMVX! For teaching what little I know about modules and their use
  

Author's Notes
No special notes, just remember: Below Blizz-ABS Or it won't do anything!
Feel free to use this script at your leisure, of course in conjunction with Blizzard's
contracts he mandates with his ABS.
