[XP] Blizz-ABS

[Blizzard]

Yes. xD

[Unclellama]

So, sorry if I'm being a bit thick... but how would I make an enemy that dies 'for good' (i.e. does not come back alive upon reloading the map)?

[Apidcloud]

Well, I'm not sure if Blizz Abs uses local switches to make enemies die, and when loading the map, all that local switches are set off, so they respawn.

If so, You'd need to delete that off the code xD

Just turn a self switch on o a new page that doesn't have a graphic. Thats how.

I forgot to mention that in case of blizz abs not using the 'respawn' of local switches
lol'd

[Unclellama]

Thanks for your help guys

The mistake was having a 'corpse' graphic on the self-switch event page, with no graphic it works perfectly.

Awesome ABS!

[Apidcloud]

why doesn't it accept graphic? -.-

[winkio]

if there is a graphic it will make an enemy.  pretty obvious I think.

[Apidcloud]

lol? by simple using a character, it will be an enemy?

[G_G]

Its because of the event name. If the event's name has \e[1] in it. It will be in enemy if it has a graphic. If it doesn't have a graphic then it won't be created as an enemy. Thats why if you want an enemy permanently dead, you create a 2nd page with no graphic.

Im trying to use Blizz Abs and Hermes message system together but now all my messages appear on the top of the page and I have no idea how to fix it. Help would be nice...

[G_G]

Try placing Hermes below Blizz-ABS.

[Yourleftsock]

well, hermes changes a couple of the default scripts which may lead to the problem. And I don't really know how it can be changed. Maybe ill just switch to a different message system...thank you for the idea tho.

[Stray]

I don't have hermes and want my box at the bottom of the screen. Dunno how to fix it, too.

By the way:
I need something, that switches off the whole Battlesystem. But only the abs itself.

I think it's just on the event command list on the first page...the one that says "Change Text Options"

For your other thing...it's in the manual

Not to offend, but is this possible?

I'm working on scripting in a few modifications to the script, but I'm running into a few problems.
Firstly I'm setting up a feature to change the actor's alignment. I know that changing a constant is bad, so I set up a new variable to refer to.
I've created two parts:

This one, which allows the use of the command AlignmentSet.new(alignment).

class AlignmentSet
  def initialize(alignment)
    @Group_Switched = 1
    @Actor_Alignment = alignment
  end
end

And this one, which sets @Actor_Alignment to 9 until the command is run.

  unless @Group_Switched == 1
    @Actor_Alignment = 9
  end

I've replaced all instances of ACTOR_GROUP, but for some reason it doesn't work. 

Secondly, I'm working on a modification which lets one event function as both an event and a battler, depending on whether their is an enemy nearby.
I used this code to disable replacing an event when the group was 6 or 8, my two npc groups. I will eventually add something to run it anyway if there is an enemy on the map.

if group != 6 or 8
          
          # set move flag if moving disabled
          move = true if event.name.clone.gsub!('\\move') {''}
...<Unnesesary parts ommitted>...
          # replace the real event with the new enemy
          $game_map.events[event_id] = Map_Enemy.new($game_map.map_id, event,
          id, group, attr, move, immortal, full_passable, custom, delay,
          view, hear)               
 ...<Unnesesary parts ommitted>...
          end

This doesn't accomplish anything...

I realize, as I am a new scripter, that I've probably made some stupid mistake or forgotten to do something important, but can anyone give me any insight as to what it is?

Thanks,
Livingstone

@ LivingsoneIPresume,

Not sure about the first thing, but shouldn't it be ('\move') in the second one? And can't you just use $game_map.battlers_group(GROUP).size to check for an enemy group on the map, then (if greater than 0) use $game_map.rename_event(EVENT_ID, 'NEW_NAME') to rename the event so it becomes a battler? Or something to that effect?

[Blizzard]

I just wanted to point out this one more time.

[Stray]

My problem in one pic:


And also:
I need something to switch off the COMPLETE ABS for some maps, so that no character-animations of the hero can be changed!
In these situations only the script for the custom message boxes has to be switched on.

[mroedesigns]

Something in the common event you're calling must be changing it to display on the top again.
