Q: I don't like the default HUD for Blizz-ABS? Where can I get a better one?
A: Check around the Chaos-Project forums for custom HUDs, or edit [HUD section of script, add information here (I'm a lazy fart)] in the Blizz-ABS Script.

Q: How do I add enemies?
A: Section 3.1 tells you how to create enemies in Blizz-ABS. [Make Section 3.1 direct to...Section 3.1, haha.]

Q: Why does my game crash when I try to use projectiles?
A: Maybe that projectile doesn't have a Character Set for it. Section 3.5 tells you how to work with Weapons efficiently. [Make Section 3.5, yeah you get it]

Q: Can I redistribute this script?
A: Sure, as long as you follow Terms of Conditions and lead the links and credits back to Chaos-Project. Remember that Blizzard is the author of the script, and not you! (No matter what)

Here's a few, haha.

Q: How do I start the event code of battlers?
A: The event code of battlers is automatically started when it is killed.
Blizz will be adding more event triggers soon.

Q: I used the battler template from The Chronicle of Sir Lag-a-Lot, but they don't work!
A: CoSLAL uses a very old version of Blizz-ABS.  Since then, Blizz has changed how the action sprites work.
The updated version uses a template of any sized graphic divided into 4x4 sections.
Blizz posted example graphics here: [link]

I'd post more, but I gotta go XD

That last one isn't a question. I think it should be barred from the FAQ. :V:

I find it funny with those underlines are there to show emphasis. The answers should sound encyclopediac, so using the word Blizz or something of that nature wouldn't really cut out. That's what I think anyway. I probably am being hypocritical here, but I'm making a suggestion with this at the same time.

Q: I found a bug! Where do I post it?
A: Please make sure it isn't an error on your part and that it honestly is a scripting error or a real bug. Post on the Blizz-ABS topic after registering an account on Chaos-Project for the best support. When posting a bug, include the error window, what RPG Maker XP you run, and any other scripts that might conflict with Blizz-ABS. The more details the better. [link to Blizz-ABS topic or something]

Q: Sex4cashplz?
A: Go away, prostitute. >:I

Q: This ABS is SEXY! Can I have sex with it?
A: No.

Q: Can I at least jerk off to it?
A: Yes.

EDIT: This had to happen. ._.; Blizz-ABS and sex simply go with one another. Back on topic.

EDIT:

Q: I have created a weapon of the "Bow & Arrow" type and I have assigned possible ammunition. Why do I get a buzzer sound every time I try to use that weapon?
A: Either you haven't assigned a possible item as hotkey item or you are out of ammo.

In the conditional branch, click the 4th tab, then click the Script button thing. Type this in
Input.trigger?(Input::Key["Enter'])

Keys for God's sake. And it's either " or ', not both.

Input.trigger?(Input::Keys['Enter'])

There is no 3.2.4.

Yes, there is. 3.2. is "Utilities" and 3.2.4. is about the keys on the keyboard.
