Blizz-ABS Bug and Suggestion Compilation

[legacyblade]

I don't hate it with a passion. It has potential, but it just takes a LOT of work to make it your own...like a lot. And glad I was able to help. I still have to get up to date on the combo system, but I still know the old stuff pretty well (I should know, I requested things akin to lifeless objects a bajillion times )

[Blizzard]

What LB said.

Winkio's going to implement throwing stuff, it's already a planned future feature.

[legacyblade]

And once he does that, there will be NO excuse to use XAS. I mean if they want the flashy graphics, it isn't too hard to copy an animation over from the demo, ya know? I've done lots of cool stuff with blizzABS that won't be seen till I release a game awhile in the future (I put it on halt since blizzABS is changing so much lately and a lot of the features I spent hours making clunky addons for ended up as native features ). It's SUPER powerful. And if you know how to use particle illusions to make RMXP animations, you can make freaking epic looking attacks.

-edit (corrected sentence in the beginning thanks to Niche.)

There will be NO excuse NOT to use XAS? Legacy, are you smoking something?

[Dweller]

I notice that when I put a condicional branch or play a sound/music on a death event trigger of a enemy, the respawn stop working. Don´t know if is a bug or I´m doing something wrong.

[legacyblade]

@Niche, thank you for pointing out that error. My english skills went down the drain. I blame the smoothies.

@Dweller, I think having a death event trigger disables the re-spawn for that creature by default. If you want a sound effect to play, have it play during their death animation which you set in the config file.

If you put a message window on the death event trigger the respawn works fine. I was using a message windows on an enemy with a variable count (a typical killing mob quest) and didn´t have any problem with the respawn feature. Then I put the variable count inside a conditional branch (if you have the quest then count enemy killed else don't count it) and the respawn stop working. After that, I made a few test with death event trigger (in my game and even in a new ABS project with only ABS scripts) and have the same problem.

I tried to solve it using a call script event command ($game_map.rename_event(EVENT_ID, 'NEW_NAME') on the death event trigger, but he only think that I got was respawn the enemy with no respawn time.

Well, I stop talking about this here because I think is more for the Blizz-ABS threat. I just want to know if this is a bug.

[legacyblade]

Oh, didn't know that. It sounds more like a bug, so try reporting it in the bABS thread.

[Taiine]

I noticed a few event thing's would stop the respawn.

I was messing around adding a sound file to go off during death. Was some nice extra spice but that killed the respawn as well.

[LiTTleDRAgo]

I got one problem,

when my character is walking/running then I press menu button, menu screen won't appear unless I stop moving,

what I want is, when I press menu button, menu screen appears instantly without character needs to stop his movement

[winkio]

noted.  Thanks for letting me know.

[Blizzard]

But that's normal RMXP behavior.

[LiTTleDRAgo]

But that's normal RMXP behavior.

is it? 
but when I remove Blizz ABS, menu screen can appear instantly when menu button is pressed...

[Blizzard]

No, it doesn't. The player finishes moving to the next tile before the menu appears if you press ESC during the movement of the player.

[LiTTleDRAgo]

No, it doesn't. The player finishes moving to the next tile before the menu appears if you press ESC during the movement of the player.

I don't get it 
so, I must press ESC button every time I want to call menu screen?
or, I must change menu button in custom control to ESC? <--- about this, it doesn't work

[Blizzard]

Lol! The default button in Blizz-ABS for the menu is F. xD

You were smoking smoothies? (Totally not an old argument :L)

[[Luke]]

Is it possible to not have all the enemies respawned when you leave and re-enter the map when you have the respawn time defined and it hasn't come yet?

Also, I'd like to bump up the suggestion of "Progress Bar of Charging Weapons, Items and Skills".

[winkio]

The leave/renter map thing is RMXP's problem.  Just use variables and events if you want it to work that way.

Progress bars could easily be put into the charging sprite or animation.  While I may eventually add them, it won't be any time soon.

[fjurio]

I don´t know if this error is known but to be sure i will post it.

I get this error:

Spoiler: ShowHide

while running after an event (custom movement: highest freqency "6"; "move away from player") and triggering this common event:

Spoiler: ShowHide

What it is the reason and how can i fix it?


Edit:
By the way, how can i fix this bug:

player sprite change doesn't work (on $game_player using Set Move Route command), it gets reset by Blizz-ABS internal actor sprite handler

or will it be fixed soon?
