How to make a monster that can use Heal Skill on itself when in battle it's health decreased to 100 HP? Is it possible?

Go into the database and give the enemy a heal skill.

Doesn't that just have to do with enemy database configuration?

Yes you are correct. *levels up*

[winkio]

You can make an AI that checks if the enemy's health is 100 and if so uses the skill.  Parallell process event, conditional branch, script call, all using stuff in the manual.

So... i even don't need to set a special Combo in Blizz-ABS Config for this? This feature i can implement with only standart maker's tools?

[winkio]

yeah.  This might be a good reference: http://forum.chaos-project.com/index.php/topic,8792.0.html.  It doesn't have the exact thing you described, but you can make what you want in exactly the same way (without any combos).

Thanx, it's really works - it just needs give some time for monster to use this skill.
May be anybody can answer my next questions:
1. How to make item bounce while droping from a monster? Like damage numbers bouces from monster when i hit it. One simple bounce at monster's death position.
2. Can i make this feature: when i hit fire monster with fire arrow it's health grow up and when health reach 400 HP, monster change it's graphic, run from player (2-3 steps) and Disappear?
3. How to make consuming projectile deal damage to monster while the Bow ATK=0? For example, i apply a fire element to Item projectile (in database) and whant to damage monsters with fire-weakness. I tried to do this feature myself but with Bow ATK=0 i can't  deal any damage to monster. Can you give me advise?

Is there a way to make only certain enemies have action sprites? I only want bosses to have action sprites.

[JellalFerd]

Make a copy of the non-bosses default sprites and rename it to their action sprites?
@Inca
1: I'm not sure I understood that
2: Make the arrow have a state, and the monster's state efficiency F to that state.
3: If I understood you right,  just tweak around with negative values on the Rcvr HP parameter in the item's configuration in the database.

That's what I dont' want to do, since that would be a waste of space, since a weapon graphic has to be specified too...But if all else fails, I'll do that.

[winkio]

wait for the next version, where you can configure action, attack, skill, etc. sprites on an individual basis.

Sounds good


Another thing I have a problem with is making an NPC. Do I need to make it an enemy in order for enemies to attack it? If I do, then I can't execute what he/she has to say unless it dies. That and the minimap icons are the only things that are really confusing me now.

[JellalFerd]

No, but you can make it so the NPC alignment group is an enemy of the primary enemy group.

[winkio]

you have to make it an enemy, set its alignment group, then set its event code trigger to action button using a comment.  Look at 4.3.8 of the manual for reference.

[RPGManiac3030]

Oh, so that's what all that stuff is for...I feel stupid right now. Thanks a bunch!


EDIT: I still can't get the bomb to show an exploding animation when it goes off. If there are no enemies around it, the bomb just disappears.

[G_G]

Its not setup to be that way. The animation from explosion skills only show up if it hit someone.

[RPGManiac3030]

That's what I thought.....which is kind of weird to me.

I think this may have come up somewhere before, but there's also a problem with the hotkey menu when using the mouse controller script.

[bradhawk]

well, maybe a stupid question .
im little confused with the combo system . but, how to make the branching combos ?
ex :
if defend pressed
go to action 2
if attack pressed
go to action 3

thnx

[winkio]

Action 1

Input: ID 0: Keys[Defend] pressed for 40 frames
Input: ID 1: Keys[Attack] pressed for 40 frames
Condtion: Input Window Variable 0 != Input Window Variable 1
Go to Action: ID 2

Action 2

Condtion: Input Window Variable 0 == Constant Variable true
Go to Action: ID 3
Go to Action: ID 4

Action 3

Defend for 8 frames

Action 4

Attack

I'll probably make that easier for the next version.

[dnasman]

I have a problem with the combo system.
I want to make a combo which everytime you pressed an 'Attack' button, the combo will jump into the next action, and each action has it's own sprite.

Is it possible to be done with combo system?

Thnx.

[winkio]

Action 1

Input: ID 0: Keys[Attack] pressed for 40 frames
Condtion: Input Window Variable 0 == Constant Variable true
Go to Action: ID 2

Action 2

Input: ID 0: Keys[Attack] pressed for 40 frames
Condtion: Input Window Variable 0 == Constant Variable true
Go to Action: ID 3

Action 3

Input: ID 0: Keys[Attack] pressed for 40 frames
Condtion: Input Window Variable 0 == Constant Variable true
Go to Action: ID 4

Action 4

Attack

Just change the sprites for each action in the box that says 'Sprite'.

[dnasman]

Wow, thnx. that works perfectly.
But i still have a problem with the sprite.

I change the sprites for action 1 in the box that says 'Sprite' with '_atk1_1' with an extension checked, and '_atk1_2' for the action 2 and extension is checked also, but the sprite is like showing an animation instead of change the chara's sprite


Thnx
