[XP] Blizz-ABS

[(Hexamin)]

WHATTTT??? The manual teased me!  Blizz... I have no useful talents... but I will do anything to be able to force players to use spells!

*looks through the script desperately with own minute knowledge of scripting in an attempt to make it happen*

[Dudeidu]

Is there any way to make this works?:


If you dont see the picture, what i mean is the Blizz ABS wont let me use the rmxp buttons even
when i make DISABLE_DEFAULT = false

Sorry about the babbling 

[Landith]

You could just do this:



I believe... Haven't used RMXP in months or Blizz-ABS so it could be wrong.
But I believe it's in the manual, so you might wanna check there as well

[Blizzard]

Yeah, that's about right. Or "Input.trigger?(Input::NextPage)" which will work with the mapped next page button whether it is Q or not. And yes, it's also in the manual.

edit 1: i'm still messing with it and decided to see what it was like if i manually did the combo by casting the spell myself when i teleport... and its AWESOME... i just want it to be a forced action (to make it one complete skill) *pulls hair out* so aggravating! i know theres a way to get the forced action to work, what'm i doin wrong...

Actually forced actions should work on the player. Maybe something went wrong and it's not working anymore. In any case, don't worry. I am going to fix that definitely. How else is the mouse controller supposed to work if not through forced actions? xD

You probably won't be able to fix it by yourself because it's most probably a systematical error and not just a simple bug. :/ Just leave it to me.

That and I'm pretty incompetent when it comes to scripts, haha, I can... uh... make basic windows?  Lol.

I reeeeally can't wait for this to be fixed (if it is indeed broken).  I've got a lot of stuff I'm wanting to do with it.

Is the a method like $BlizzABS.get_enemy(event_id).dead? that would return true or false based on if the enemy was killed, alive, re-spawned or not?

I couldn't find a reference to one in the manual.

I looked through the script and it seems that
$BlizzABS.get_enemy(event_id).battler.dead?
is what I need correct?

[(Hexamin)]

I believe this should work properly for ya.

$BlizzABS.is_enemy?(event_id)

[Ryex]

that just tells if it is an enemy not is it is dead.

[(Hexamin)]

 

Well... I've been using it in my skills to determine whether or not the enemy is dead.

If $BlizzABS.is_enemy?($game_variables[10]) then ladeeda its alive
else then ladeeda its dead

Have you tried it?

[Blizzard]

is_enemy? will check if the event is an actual map battler. Otherwise you can pretty much use get_enemy for everything. I suggest you also do $BlizzABS.get_enemy(event_id).valid? to make sure the enemy is really alive and has a battler assigned. I didn't add anything for respawned, but you can use a switch to check if the enemy is dead, turn it on and then you'll be sure that he's respawned when he's alive again.

Think I found a bug...

Seems setting custom animation frames for charge skills doesn't work as it should. For instance setting 8,8,8,8 works same as default 3,3,3,3. And the configurator sets it up properly.

It works as it should for charge weapons though.

Edit: Another one When allies use skills with penalties, the penalty is put on the player instead of the caster. When an enemy uses a skill with a penalty it affects all the battlers. Just tested with a shooting skill so far.

[Blizzard]

8,8,8,8 actually should be exactly the same as 3,3,3,3 except that it should be slower.
The penalty can't be put on the player if an ally uses a skill. That's simply impossible. I'd rather say your game is lagging.

[poxy]

Actually the 8's aren't the same speed as the same as the 3's... I know this because I use the same sprite for charge weapon and charge skill, both set to 8's, and the weapon animates slowly enough, but the skill animates as with the default frame setup.. I've cranked the frame's to 20,20,20,20 and i get the same as before..

I know the player gets the penalty because he's immobile while the ally is casting. Once cast the ally moves normally and the char I'm controlling is locked in place for the penalty time set. The other case is when the enemy uses the skill and all the battlers stop moving during the spell. I don't think it's lag because I'm running a quad core and it's a smaller test map I'm experimenting on.

[Blizzard]

I think something's wrong with your setup because I can't reproduce the problem. :/ Are you sure that you have the proper sprite animation options on?

EDIT: Looks like RoseSkye encountered the same problem. I'll take a better look at it these days.

[poxy]

I'm not sure what could be wrong with the setup if there is anything... basically i have the ally/enemy casting a skill I've called fire which is a thrusting skill. The fireball moves 5 squares, and disapears, but the battlers freeze as it's flying and for a half second after it's gone. It doesn't affect the ally if he's casting.

[Blizzard]

As I said, IDK what's wrong. A demo would help.

[(Hexamin)]

Usin' my custom variable damage and it's saying "miss" when I use skills on enemies because the game is reading the skill doing 0 damage.  Anyway to fix this?  I tried removing instances of "Miss" in the script, but twas not a success.

Edit 1: Fixed the problem, simply set the faux state to nonresistent and now I don't ever miss.  Silly me

n00b question coming up; my allies in the caterpillar won't attack with projectiles, I always have the projectile hotkeyed, and if I control the character it shoots fine (Bow&Arrow weapon type). But for some reason the allies in my caterpillar simply refuse to shoot.

Suggestions?

That's unusual; I've never had a problem with projectiles. It sounds like you have it set up right. I'd suggest just double-checking your configuration; there might be a silly mistake that you've missed. If you equip them with a melee weapon, do they attack then?

Here's a demo of it, Blizzard.

Edit: The freezing battlers was mine own dumb mistake (calling an event). the frame thing's still there so here's the demo:
