[XP] Blizz-ABS

Why not just use the tileset?

You can just add a 2nd roofing to the tileset graphic if you need one to be passable and the other not.

Yes, I could do that. But the problem happens with all tileset events in the project. The house is just an example. If I need to use the event layer as a 4th tileset layer, the graphics are messed up. So even if I find a way to not use events in that case, I would still need a solution.

[winkio]

actually, i've had this error too, and forgot to mention it.  Tile-Events are very useful in-game, Aqua, especially for puzzle's and checkpoints.  Blizz, you should look into this...

[Aqua]

Yeah, I use them too; was just wondering why lp uses events.

Hrrrm... just checked my maps...
Seems to me like the tile-events that are parallel process aren't affect, but the ones that are action and have no coding are.

[Blizzard]

v2.23 is up. I fixed the @SELF error and another issue.

@lplara: I think I messed up when I changed the sprite display system. I'll be sure to fix it in the next version. You should refrain from using tileset events if anyhow possible, though. They create quite some lag.

[legacyblade]

Oh yah, I forgot to mention that bug too

Is there anyway to make this compatible with Aleworks Enter Hero Name?

I had a really cool neat idea I wanted to try out but I needed this to be compatible with this script.
Here it is if anyone could do anything.

I'll take a look at it. Does it only happen with v2.23?

Please can someone help or at least tell me if its not possible.

[Shadonking]

I'll take a look at it. Does it only happen with v2.23?

yeah only v2.23

[Blizzard]

Then I know what's wrong. I had to fix something and I most probably copy-pasted some code wrong. -_- I'll put up a fixed version, give me a few moments.

EDIT: There it is. The fix is simple, just change line 1989 to this here:

limit = BlizzABS::Weapons.frames(@battler.weapon_id).sum

There were in fact two typos. xD

[Shadonking]

ok, take your time, im playing your new game Star G

[Blizzard]

Don't worry, it's up already. As I said, the fix was simple. I also put up a Star G. version that has the fixed v2.23. xD.

[Shadonking]

ok just updated your script but now the enemy transforms and then dies anyway even if you use the recovery.

[Blizzard]

Yeah, that error was reported already in an earlier version. I'm not sure why, I'll look into it later.

[Daxisheart]

For some reason, I feel like this has been noted already...

I'm tyring to do a simple thing: you talk to a NPC person, the person gets mad, turns into an enemy and attacks you. Do you have any help or idea how to do that?

I'm actually pretty mollified to find out that Blizz ABS doesn't have the option for comments, like almost all other ABS I know(mostly Mr. Mo's types). If it's possible, can you show me how, and if it's not, can you implant it into future versions?

[Hellfire Dragon]

I can't help with the second part but yeah it was asked before, it's actually pretty easy. For an event to be an enemy in the blizz abs it's name has to be something like '\e[ENEMY_ID]' so ENEMY_ID is like 1 orsomething but you probably already knew that. So first you need to have the event's name something like, weell anything as long it's not classed as an enemy (\e[1]) So Let's call it NPC. Then just make an event like this one;

@>Show Choices: Hit him, Compliment or whatever
 : When [Hit him]
  @>Text: YOU F*CKING LITTLE B*ST*RD SH!T FACE
        : SON OF A B!TCH!
  @>Script: $game_map.rename_event(3, "\e[1]")
  @>Control Self Switch: A =ON
  @>
 : When [Compliment or whatever]
  @>Text: Thank you :)
  @>
 : Branch End
@>

So adjust  it to your liking. Change the text etc,. Then replace the 3 with the event number, which you can see in the top left corner when an event is open and change the 1 in \e[1] to the id of the enemy in the database.

Hope I helped

LMAO, i like the message in it.

[Daxisheart]

Thanks, I'm really focusing on database, script collecting, and ABS configuration so I more or less skimmed over these coded parts... Although stuff like comments would be easier
