i got that problem as well with an enemy that doesn't do anything(dummy) and i used multi body.

@G_G: Make sure the option LiTTleDRAgo is set right and your plugin works properly first. As for the skill, do you get a buzzer sound? Did you set the scope and occasion in the database? Did you set the type in the config? Do you have enough SP to use the skill? Are all other conditions met that you can use the skill? If it's a healing skill, you should be at least able to heal yourself so maybe your scope or occasion isn't right.

[G_G]

@Drago: Well the plugin was neccessary mostly for the menu. All I had to do was change one line in game_party for it to allow more then 4 actors. And the option for MAX_PARTY is for the caterpillar. That doesn't control the actual Game_Party mod that you need to allow adding of more than 4 actors.
@Blizz: The default heal skill has occasion set to always, has scope set to one ally. SP is set to 80. Heres my skills config.

  module Skills
    
    def self.type(id)
      return [DIRECT, EXPLNone]
    end
    
    def self.combo(id)
      return 0
    end
    
    def self.projectile_speed(id)
      return 5
    end
    
    def self.knockback(id)
      return 1
    end
    
    def self.range(id)
      case id
      when 1 then return 5.0 # Heal
      end
      return 1.0
    end
    
    def self.penalty(id)
      case id
      when 1 then return 10 # Heal
      end
      return 24
    end
    
    def self.frames(id)
      return [3, 3, 3, 3]
    end
    
    def self.charge(id)
      return [CHARGENone, 0]
    end
    
    def self.charge_frames(id)
      return [3, 3, 3, 3]
    end
    
    def self.trap(id)
      return 10
    end
    
    def self.summon(id)
      return [SUMMONPet, 0, 0]
    end
    
  end

Character I'm using it with has 570 SP and less then their max HP.  Maybe it has something to do with this.

    def update_skill
      # continue input update if skill should be used
      return false if !self.check_skill_condition?
      # if skill not usable or skill use process not executed and no selection
      if $game_player.battler.skill == 0 ||
          !$game_player.use_skill($data_skills[$game_player.battler.skill]) &&
          $game_temp.select_data == nil
        # play buzzer, can't use
        $game_system.se_play($data_system.buzzer_se)
      end
      # stop input update
      return true
    end

Whats this game temp data thing?

[Blizzard]

I store the selection data in $game_temp.select_data. I forgot what I put in there, but if I remember right, it holds the sprites of possible target and the object (skill or item from the database) that will be used in the action and something else (can't remember anymore from memory right now). If it is nil, it means that the current action (skill and item only actually) have not triggered the selection sequence and need to be executed immediately. Basically use_skill calls BlizzABS::Processor#skillitem_process which sets $game_temp.select_data if the skill/item has a scope that calls the selection screen.
You should check what's going on inside Map_Battler#use_skill and BlizzABS::Processor#skillitem_process by using a few debug prints. I'm pretty sure that your Battler#skill_can_use? returns false and that's why you can't use it.

[G_G]

I printed skill_can_use? result and effect.
skill return trues
result and effect both return false

[Blizzard]

Then check BlizzABS#skillitem_process. Add a couple of prints to see which way the code goes.

There is a huge increase in lag when I upgraded from v2.79 to v2.84 (The latest) Happens in in maps with 60x60 size, and roughly 20-30 events. Had no lag in maps of that size before.
(Stricly speaking the fps fell from average 39 to average 30, but the game goes notably slower)

[megaman30796]

i dont know why but my game shows that it have only 19 fps but it runs at normal speed.

Hm, I have a test map that's 80x60 with 30 events, and I get a solid 39-40 fps when I load it and walk around, but while engaging enemies, I do notice a slowdown to around 33 fps.  I'll look into it when I get the time.

[Kagutsuchi]

I do notice a bit of lag when not fighting enemies too, but it is most notable when fighting. Thanks for looking into it ^^
(Eternal Saga is progressing nicely, wouldn't surprise me if I get something to upload around the end of February)

[Noob]

I'm using RMX-OS with Blizz-ABS, and the minimap works, character switching works, and when i go to an enemy I can even see the lifebar but it doesn't move and doesn't attack me and i can't attack it. Also I can't attack other player even though pvp=true. Help please.

[Blizzard]

the controller is not fully functional yet and a few functionality problems still remain. I will see if I can find some time in the next few days to test and fix those remaining problems.

[Noob]

Sorry. I got it to work perfectly locally so I thought i might be able to accomplish that globally as well. sorry.

[Sin86]

I get this error message for some of the condtion commands, here it is.


Script 'Blizz ABS Part 2' line (number here, see below): NoMethodError occurred.
Undefined method `(command here, see below)' for true:TrueClass

Next to undefined method, the commands would be >, >=, <, <=.

As for numbers, it's a different line for a different command. Here they are.

1254 for >
1257 for >=
1260 for <
1263 for <=

Also, 1258 and 1261 say <= but 1258 is suppose to be < because it says less than. Also if both of those 2 lines say <= I don't get the 1260 error, in fact no message is shown at all but the condition still isn't being met. When I change it to <, I do get the error. If the commands are == or !=. I get no error either.

This is all in Blizz ABS version 2.84. Also, the latest version of Tons is installed too.

[winkio]

you can't use <, <=, >, or >= with true/false values.  Besides that, you are right that I made a mistake on line 1258, thanks for pointing that out.

What is X < true? Almost true? Barely true? Less than true? :V

[Starrodkirby86]

What is X < true? Almost true? Barely true? Less than true? :V

Obviously, it means the truth is greater than X, and since 'x' represents one of the game's variables, it looks like it couldn't handle the truth!

[EZ Destroyer]

why cant the opponents summon monsters and cant use guided attacks?

You know ruby got a very sophisticated way of handling ethical questions.

Also, got a problem with custom event triggers :\

When I am standing still in the rock's path of the rock nothing happens It is only if I am moving towards the rock and I touch the rock that the event runs.

Spoiler: ShowHide

[Blizzard]

That's why you use event touch only.
