The config has nothing to do with no SP being deducted (there is no HP deduction -_-). Are you using the skill? Do you see its effects or are you just trying to use it? Which version of Blizz-ABS are you using? And did you define a proper scope for the skill? A demo would help if you can't fix it on your own.

ok i will get a demo in a secound

edit heres the demo

It seems to be a bug that happens when you use a shooting skill as charging skill. I'll take a better look at this later and fix it in the next version.

What about the event touch fix ?

P.S. How do I set up a monster on the map using the stats saved to a variable?

Example: I saved a monsters current stats to a variable and I changed maps.. now I want to load the saved monster to the new map I am on with the same hp, sp, atk, etc

[Blizzard]

I know. I still have your demo project demonstrating the bug. I didn't have time to look into it and fix it for v2.57.

Transferrring monsters is simple. You need to obtain the HP using one of the commands (i.e. "$game_variables[83] = $BlizzABS.get_enemy(9).hp") and then use the battleflow commands to change the values according with your variables. *points to 3.2.13 and 3.2.14*

[RoseSkye]

Is there any fix for the opacity issue with move event for the player?

Edit: Yes I know how to get the enemies health but I don't know how to set the enemies health to x. I read the Help thing alot to come up with new eventing tricks for skills and enemies and so on.

Example: If Enemy 1 had originally 54 health, he had been hit and took 7 damage  and now he has 47 health. I left the map and set up Enemy 2 that is supposed to be the same enemy on map 2 yet has full health instead of 47 health... how would I use a script to give that enemy the same health that enemy 1 had?

[Blizzard]

Store the damage done to enemy 1 (event ID 3) with this:

$game_variables[23] =
  $BlizzABS.get_enemy(3).maxhp -
  $BlizzABS.get_enemy(3).hp

Do the same damage to enemy 2 (event ID 5) with this:

$BlizzABS.enemy_deal_damage(
5, VARIABLE, 23)

[RoseSkye]

Store the damage done to enemy 1 (event ID 3) with this:

$game_variables[23] =
  $BlizzABS.get_enemy(3).maxhp -
  $BlizzABS.get_enemy(3).hp

Do the same damage to enemy 2 (event ID 5) with this:

$BlizzABS.enemy_deal_damage(
5, VARIABLE, 23)

So with that snippet it'll deal damage to an enemy on another map?

Enemy 1 is on Map A
Enemy 2 is on Map B

[Blizzard]

Run code 1 on map A when you leave and code 2 on map B when you enter.

Greetings!

I've been really enjoying playing around with the B-ABS, enough that it's taking too much time away from my studies, lol!  Anyway I was searching through both the manual and forums and I haven't found an answer yet.  It could be that at this moment that the ABS cannot do it (for #2 and #3) but #1 should at least be doable.  Here goes!

#1) Is there anyway for me to remove the damage popup?  Like when my actor attacks or get attacks, to not let those numbers popup?  I plan to use the ZHUD and and I don't want numbers at all.

#2) Is there a way for different weapons to have different "sound range"?  For example, using a knife is silent and the sound range it produces would be 0 or 0.5.  A gun would have a larger sound range.  And everyone on the screen should be able to hear an explosion (like from a grenade).

#3) If you have played Metal Gear Solid then you would know this.  I want it that whenever an enemy (of a set ID, I don't want everyone to have this) perceives the actor (via sight or sound) I want a short defined animation to play (like an exclamation point appearing above their head).

[EDIT]
#4) Is there any way to change the modifier of damage done to an enemy's back?  For example, if the actor uses a knife from the enemy from behind, it would do 3x the normal damage.
[/EDIT]

If the B-ABS cannot do any of these, a simple no would suffice (or if for some reason you like my ideas, you could tell me that you're thinking of putting them in a later update).  I'm not sure if #2/3 is possible but I'm pretty sure #1 would be.

Thank you Blizzard! Thanks for giving me something to do when I get headaches from my upper division math courses (I'm a math major).

[Aqua]

1) Requires some mods. Definitely doable.
2) ...maybe an add-on would work.
3) There's a code in the manual to check if a monster perceives the player.  Use that in a conditional branch.  If it's true, play an animation over the event id of the monster.

Oh yeah, I forgot that there's a way to check monster perception.  Thank you!  


EDIT: Changed my previous post because I forgot I also had a 4th point to address.

Hey Blizzard baby, sorry I haven't called you.

Do you think you could make your super ABS work with this super Zelda-style map scrolling script? ;_;

Our lives depend on it. ;_;

1 and 2 should be possible

dunno about 4

[Blizzard]

@Irock: I can, but I'm too lazy. ;___; What do we do now?

@Lethal-Yarn:

1. Part 2, around line 4000 should be this one:

def request_damage_sprite(char, damage = nil)

Just put "return" (without the double quotes) below it and that's it.

2. Sound range doesn't really exist in Blizz-ABS. All sounds exist only at one single point (virtually). What does exist is enemy hearing range. You would pretty much need an add-on like Aqua said.

4. You can do that with events. Every enemy has by default a specific state that lowers his defense. That state is removed when the enemy can perceive the player. As I said, one or two simple parallel process events should do the job. The script calls you need are in the manual.

And no problem. RMXP is for all of us something we can work on when we've had enough of everything else. Ironically I work on my game to relax from my job which is game development. xD

[Lethal-Yarn]

You're awesome, Blizz!  I didn't realize that about #4, that's an interesting way of doing it (make sense too!).  I guess I need to learn to have more creativity with scripting 

Thank you for your answers.

[Nightowl Atticus]

I don't know if this has been asked million times but it would take time to check 120 pages.

How I can make the enemy in boss battle say something after it's defeated?
I copied the code from Sir-Lag-A-Lot's final boss scene when Flamer was defeated but
then this error came:

I get that error if I have newest Blizz ABS script and use these commands: (copied from Chronicles of Sir-Lag-A-Lot)

@>Conditional Branch: Script: $game_map.enemies.size == 0
@>Control Self Switch: B =ON
@>Script: $game_system.hud = false
@>
 Branch End

The code is causing the error but don't know what kind of code I should use to replace it.

And I'm bit sorry if this post was confusing. : P

[Blizzard]

The script calls have changed since the version that is being used in Sir Lag-A-Lot. Just refer to the script calls in the current manual (chapter 3.2.x) and/or just put the event code into the boss event because it will be run after that enemy dies.
