doeas this automatically add the bar to the blizz abs hud?

and. very nice script, is there a way to manually modify OD value?

Juan

Read the spoiler below if you want to know how to change the od value in game. And it does add it the od value to the hud. 
Spoiler: ShowHide
#   If you want to change the value of the OD % ingame use the "Call script"
#   event command and use this syntax:
#
#     $game_actors[X].overdrive = Y
#
#   X - ID of the hero in the database
#   Y - new value of the OD
#
#   You can also use another syntax:
#
#     $game_party.actors[X].overdrive = Y
#
#   X - position of the hero in the party
#   Y - new value of the OD
#
#   Note that X starts from 0 and NOT 1. The ammount is shown as 100,0%, this
#   is 1000 OD. i.e. 59,1% would be 591 OD.

It took an hour the other day to make. The added compatibility with RTAB, Blizz-ABS and the proper instructions took another 3 hours. What irony that the compatibility actually took longer than the script itself... The system works pretty much the same way SRS does.

@Susys: For god's sake, read the instructions. And if it's compatible with Blizz-ABS, it obviously should add the bar to the HUD. -_- Why are you making it always so hard on me?

Mhm... somehow I can't get it to work with the RTAB. It always gives odd error messages... all in that "if BlizzCFG::RTAB_ACTIVE" part of the script... I guess I'm doing something wrong there...

Blizzard

Did you turn RTAB_ACTIVE on? xD

Well, of course... Otherwise I wouldn't post here :-P
I do everything I can before I ask for help or anything...

Blizzard

What's the error message anyway? xD

Yeah, it should have been draw_actor_name, that's why. xD

This is beautiful, and I'm really glad that you decided to make this...
** Blizzard, do you think maybe you could comment the code if you ever have another update for this system??

Blizzard

If I have the time. CRLS is commented and it works on the same principles.

Calintz

Okay then, for reference I should look to the Limit Break System in CRSL, right??

Blizzard

SRS is actually more similar to EOS.

How come the swap command feature is available even when the character is empty of OD!?
**How do I set the amount of OD that is required to use the skill?

Can I make it so the swap is only available if the character has 100% OD??
