do you know where to find him

[Blizzard]

Nope. I think he's hanging out at rmxp.org, though.

[Shadonking]

k, thanks

i'll place a post for him there

[Hellfire Dragon]

Hey wasn't there a way to change an events name with the call script with the blizz abs? i can't find anything about it...there's also no search function in the html help manual...

[Blizzard]

I know, I know. I wasn't able to add a search index yet. It's somewhere in chapter 3.2..

[Shadonking]

i nether spotted that, thaks

that will be really really useful

[Hellfire Dragon]

Yay I found it

$game_map.rename_event(EVENT_ID, 'NEW_NAME')

So where it says EVENT_ID, do you mean the name of the event or it's actual ID? Like if I named an event 'chicken'(it's actual event ID being 001) and wanted to change it to \e[4], would I use 001 (or just 1) or 'chicken'?

EDIT: NVM I got it

[Joe Rockhead]

$game_map.rename_event(EVENT_ID, 'NEW_NAME')

Would I be correct in assuming that this follows general programming conventions where a string [which is usually used for the letters that make up a name] is always enclosed in single or double quotes while a number variable name is not enclosed in quotes which usually indicates that it represents or stores a numeric value? Thus EVENT_ID can be seen to be a variable name representing a numeric value while 'NEW_NAME' can be seen to be an actual string.

Another question if I am on the right track here. Is the above line of code considered a Function in RGSS? Could the syntax be defined thus: functionName(argument1, argument2)? Is $game_map the class of the object from which the function rename_event inherits certain values to be used by it's predefined methods acting upon whatever is passed to it in parenthesis?

[Shadonking]

is it coming up with any error message

[Hellfire Dragon]

Nope, it just simly does nothing, but the delay after attacking skill seems to be taking affect

[Shadonking]

that is odd, looks like blizz will have to help you here

[Aqua]

Do you have action/weapon sprites enabled?

Animations != weapon/skill/action sprites...

[Blizzard]

Just like Aqua said. You need to turn on Actor Action Sprites so sprites are even used and Weapon Srpites to use the same unique extra sprites like CoSLAL does.

[Hellfire Dragon]

Isn't there a way to do it so that you don't need to have guy_atk1 etc? I just want the charset for the weapon to shoot out, not to animate the charset. I would if I could sprite or had someone who was wiling to do them for me cause I really don't have time or the ability to do it, well no time to learn to do it anyway...yeah, so is it possible?

[Blizzard]

Obviously turn off the option for Actor Action Sprites.

[Hellfire Dragon]

In the abs config it doesn't let you use weapons sprites unless you have actor action animations enabled Well I guess I'm going manual config then

EDIT: Still not working...

[Makasu]

I have a question about setting up a Critter's AI system. I have read the manual tons of times but I need help setting up this scenario:

Joe is a Critter
The Bear is an Enemy
Billy is our actor

I would like to have Joe mess with the Bear and only the Bear.
But when Billy comes to help Joe as long as Billy doesn't not hurt Joe. Then Joe will not attack Billy but only the Bear. Finally once Billy and/or Joe defeat the Bear, Joe goes back to a neutral state, and leaves Billy alone. How would I go about setting this up?

Joe is set up like this.

Joe\c[4]\[10000000]
The Bear works fine it's just Joe's crazy ass.

Also is there a way to remove the name, hp bar, and sp bar from the HUD? I only want to see the current item and skill equipped because I'm using another HUD. Thanks in advance.

[Blizzard]

By default, you as player can attack enemies and critters. Line 236 in Part 2 should be:

PlayerNegative = [2, 3, 4, 5]

Change it to:

PlayerNegative = [2, 4, 5]

Now the player shouldn't be able to attack passive critters.

I suggest that you rather edit your custom HUD as it would unconsistent if you were using two HUDs. Best is you ask somebody to add the hotkey information to your HUD.

@HD: Obviously you can't use Weapon Sprites if you have no Action Sprites. What do you want?! Weapons that swing around while the actor doesn't move at all?! Well, that won't work.

[Makasu]

While thats greatly appreciated [[thank you!]] I would like for passive critters to not attack the player unless the player attacks them first.

Is there a way to not have the critter go all crazy? Because it switches to attack mode whenever I'm even near it. I just want to talk to it and its like, "Grahhh you're an enemy DIE!" not really but you get what I'm saying?

Oh and at the HUD is there a way that I could simply just move the location of that part?
I'll have to look into it and see. I'm not a scripter though. :[
