I don't know if this bug has been reported but everytime I use a ranged weapon like a disc or a bow and arrow it just keeps throwing/shooting it. Here is a pic of what it looks like.

Spoiler: ShowHide



Did I do something wrong with the configuration or is it something else?  :huh:

I know this error was reported in the past and I don't know if it was ever resolved, but I finally fixed it for myself.

Aqua

Did you get the updated version of 2.01?

Blizz and I spent a lot of time making sure that this was fixed :P

It's caused by the default charge being [0, 0] instead of [CHARGENone, 0] in the weapon and enemy config :)

Landith

Yeah that was it, it works now :)


Thanks Aqua for the fast support and you too winkio

Yes, you need to upgrade Tons. I'm not sure what the drop problem is causing. You think you can put a demo together?

@danesopeezy89: Just don't forget that you can't use the plugin if you are participating in the contest. xD


lol ok

Landith

I have one more problem  :^_^':

When I try to configure the bomb it doesn't work...
Here is what I have as the configuration

Spoiler: ShowHide



What am I doing wrong?

Aqua

When you say something is wrong, you should provide more info like the line and what the error is.

Good thing I know what it is... :P

There's a slight problem with traps right now; Blizz has been informed and should fix it soon.

Landith

Well there wasn't an error, it just wouldn't place it on the map.

I was just asking because I sat here for like 2 hours trying to figure it out when 2.01 came out lol

But thanks anyways :)

King Munkey

Ok I got an error message that said

Script 'Blizz_ABS3' line 436: NoMethodError occured.
undefined method 'name' for nil:NilClass

I got this message when I went to ai trigger and went to set up a skill to occur but when i went to choose the skill this popped up. I am using the Chaos Rage Limit System and this only happens on the character that is using the Chaos Drive.

G_G Is my hero!
Munkey != monkey
Munkey > monkey

Aqua

Landith, did you set up the skill in the DB so that the icon and the charset that is uses is the same?

Did you give the skill a scope of what it affects?

King Munkey

ok I got it working just an error on my part.

G_G Is my hero!
Munkey != monkey
Munkey > monkey

A couple of issues for everyone's attention:

First of all, HOLY FREAKING CRAP! THIS THING IS AMAZING! OMFG I'M GONNA DIE FROM OVEREXPOSURE TO PURE AWESOMENESS!!!!

Ok... Now that I got that out of my system... :^_^':

An error arises when someone has a Trigger with the activator being an Ally. I was directed to Part 2's 4153rd line because "find_all?" was not defined. The original line was this:

when TRGAlly then $BlizzABS.battlers.find_all? {|b| b.valid?}


To fix the error, that should be:

when TRGAlly then $BlizzABS.battlers.find_all {|b| b.valid?}


A particularly large issue I've been having with BABS 2.1 is that periodically the game freezes. Let me elaborate here: I don't mean it freezes and ten seconds later it says "Script is Hanging" without telling you jack-squat about the actual problem, nor do I mean that the window explodes and the game crashes.

I mean that everything stops, and then the program begins to turn into a computer memory addict, consuming most of my computer's resources and making the computer run very slowly. Granted, this might not be Blizz-ABS fault. But I've never seen this before, and the only other programs that I just got todayyesterday (It's too early in the morning...) were JoyToKey and the drivers for an XBox 360 Controller, neither of which sound like they'd do something like this.

This has happened twice to me. On one occasion, the computer was kind enough to make a memory dump of the app. If you want to see this (just in case it'll help... ?), I can send it to you, Blizz, but it is freaking huge (The file is about 120 MB. Told you it ate my computer's resources...).

Once again, I'd like to say that this is probably the best script I've ever seen. Freaking amazing work you've done, Blizz. The only issue I have with it is that the Ally's AI is too good... -_- I don't need to do any fighting most of the time... lol...
Stuff I've made:

I'll take a look at it, it might be a bug. But as Aqua already said, you should make sure that you have defined a targeting scope for the trap. Also, "traps" don't quite work as "bombs", because I haven't added a timer feature that makes skills explode preemptively.

O_O Crap... >.< Anyway, I don't know what's causing the memory leak, but chances really are that it's not Blizz-ABS's fault. Have you tried without Joy2Key?

EDIT: 2.02 is now up. I also fixed the type that shdw mentioned. :)

Then how would you set up a bomb? Sorry I'm just really confused   :shy:

hay Bizzard, rmember ages back when i said i had a problem opening that html help file, i'm getting the same problem again, do you think you can also put up an alternate link with a .pdf manual, also, just making sure, this version does have the ally AI right

Blizz, perhaps you should put the above on the first page, because a lot of people probably have this problem.

and yes, the ally AI is quite glorious.

Aqua

Landith, you can make a bomb with a trap skill.

All Blizz is saying is that it can't be a true bomb yet as the skill won't explode unless an enemy touches it.
He'll later input a feature that'll it'll explode when the timer runs out too.

Landith

I think I've found a bug, although I just use it for testing purposes.

When you put an event that has a trigger of player touch and have it where it gives you an item then shuts off the event like this -
Spoiler: ShowHide


and it looks like this on map before I touch the event





- all the enemies on the map disappear and they don't re-spawn.


@Aqua: Oh I see, I'll just wait untill then :)

sure, i understand the problem at my uni, no doubt they use 2003 server on the main server, but my laptop gets the same problem it's XP not 2003 server, and i've ever only connected it to the net once for 5 minute while i got XP and VX registered and it hasn't been connected to the net since

Did you try this?:

   1. Right-click the CHM file, and then click Properties.
   2. Click Unblock.
   3. Double-click the .chm file to open the file.
