Terms can be edited easily from the Database section of RPGMaker VX Ace. Let's say, if you want the resource you spend during battle to be named SP instead of MP you can change it no problem. But during battle processing these terms will show up as standard and will not be updated. How do you update Terms so they show up in battle processing as well? In the attached image the change is shown in MP when the Terms I have the "mana" resource named as HGR.

Hello everyone! I have a problem, you see, I am scripting and making adjustments to my menu, and I wanted to draw some variables on the weapons within the inventory, the variable appears, but now it also does with the other weapons. I have tried to use derivations such as "If / Elsif", or use it as a "Case" and try with "When" but I have not been able to solve it, the variable continues to appear on all weapons. Here's the code and a screenshot. I enclosed the value in red and as it is repeated, I have no idea what I am doing wrong.

Hello everyone! I found a kinda easy and 100% working way for Chasing Event(s) Through Multiple Maps and i decided to share it with everyone since the 2-3 tutorials/videos i found were kinda hard, and I read many comments "complaining" about them not working properly.. I'll try to explain it as easily as I can, even though it's my first tutorial, I hope everyone will understand it! (It's not hard, really! I believe it's the simplest and easiest method.) By the way, if someone has a suggestion for improving it, Please feel free to tell me. I am not going to include any scripts since the tutorial works just fine with game's default system. But i am going to recommend optionally, Pathfinding and Event Chase Player Script by TheoAllen. I recommend it because this script simply determines/calculates the shortest path for the wanted destination without any distractions or without having to use move route's movement commands. In this tutorial and demo, i am using the system's default "Approach" Autonomous Movement on the "Chaser" but if anyone wants to use the Pathfinding Script, Set the Autonomous Movement type to "Fixed" (Or leave Approach for random movement) and make a comment inside the "chaser" event, contents and write <chase player> in it. I want to Thank very much Cootadude because in one of his screenshots he posted on one thread, he showed the variable settings i had to put and the correct settings inside the conditional branch for making it to work. This helped me ALOT. Here's a preview GIF of the demo: DEMO (Without RTP) DOWNLOAD LINK DEMO (With RTP) DOWNLOAD LINK What we going to need: 2 Switches: Chasing Start Chasing Stop 2 Variables: Player's Map X Player's Map Y 5 Events: The "Chaser" The Chaser's Settings The Chaser's Trigger "Lever" The Chaser's Stop "Lever" The Transfer Player Event(s) Step 1) Setting/Making the Events, Switches and the Variables: Make and name the 5 Events. Make and name the 2 Switches. Make and name the 2 Variables. Step 2) Setting the "Chaser's Trigger "Lever" Set the Event "The Chaser's Trigger "Lever" with "Action Button" Trigger, Priority "Same as Characters" and "6: 4x Faster" Speed and "5: Highest" Freq. In the Contents set "Control Switches" Command and select the "Chasing Start" Switch to be on. Below the Switch Command put a "Wait 10 frames" Command. Below the "Wait 10 frames" Command put "Set Event Location" Command for the Chaser Event and set it where it will appear for the first time (It's a one-time thing). Below the "Set Event Location" Command put a "Move Route" Command for the Chaser Event and select the Graphic/Sprite it will have when it's enabled. Below the "Move Route" Command put a "Self Switch "A" to be on. On the same Event make a second page with "Action Button" Trigger, Priority "Same as Characters" and "6: 4x Faster" Speed and "5: Highest" Freq. On the Conditions Set the Self Switch A On. Inside the Contents make Conditional Branch with the Variable "Chasing Stop" to be On, Check for "Set Handling when conditions do not apply". Inside the Conditional Branch put a text to appear when the player have turn off the chasing event. On the "Else" box Below, put a text to appear when the player haven't turn off yet, the chasing event. The Event Should look like this: Step 3) Setting the "Transfer Player" Event: Set the Event "Transfer Player" with "Player Touch" Trigger and "Below Characters" Priority. Save the X and Y of the positions you will place it. (They are down the map at the very end of the RPG Program) Inside the Contents make a "Move Route" Command for the Chaser Event and select the Graphic/Sprite (None). Below the "Move Route" Command put a "Set Event Location" For the Chaser Event, and place it somewhere far the player. (I usually put it very high on the map, next to the setting event). Below the "Set Event Location" Command Put a "Transfer Player" Command and set the next map for the player to go to. The Event Should look like this: Step 4) Setting the "Chaser's Settings" Event: Set the Event "The Chaser's Settings" with "Parallel Process" Trigger, "6: 4x Faster" Speed and "5: Highest" Freq. On the Conditions set on the switch and select the "Chasing Start" Switch. Inside the Contents Put 2 Variables Commands and Set/Connect the 2 Variables (Player's Map X & Player's Map Y) Each one on their own, with "Player's Map X and Y". Make 1 Conditional Branch with the "Player's Map X" Variable, Equal to the X number of the map (where the "Transfer Player" Event/Command is, so the Chaser will appear when the player enters the map.) Below the variable (inside the conditional branch), Make 1 More Conditional Branch with the "Player's Map Y" Variable, Equal to the Y number of the map (where the "Transfer Player" Event/Command is). If you have Multiple paths make those conditional branches as many as the paths with their X and Y. (I have example on the demo in the map 2). If you want, set a wait 60 frames command so the player can earn a little time to move ahead of the chaser. Below and inside the second Contitional Branch, Put a "Set Event Location" for the Chaser right on the "Transfer Player" Event. Below the Event Location Command, Put a Move Route for the Chaser event and select the Graphic/Sprite it will have when it's enabled. Below the Move Route put a "Erase Event" Command. On the same Event make a second page with "Parallel Process" Trigger, "6: 4x Faster" Speed and "5: Highest" Freq. On the Conditions set on the switch and select the "Chasing Stop" Switch. Inside the Contents make a "Erase Event" Command. The Event Should look like this: Step 5) Setting the "Chaser" Event: Set the Event "Chaser" with "Event Touch" Trigger, Priority "Same as Characters", Type as "Approach" and "4: Normal" Speed and "5: Highest" Freq. On the Conditions set on the switch and select the "Chasing Start" Switch. Optionally, Inside the Contents make a "Game Over" Command. On the same Event make a second page with "Parallel Process" Trigger, Priority "Below Characters" Type as "Fixed" and "6: 4x Faster" Speed and "5: Highest" Freq. On the Conditions set on the switch and select the "Chasing Stop" Switch. Inside the Contents make a "Erase Event" Command. The Event Should look like this: Step 6) Setting the "Chaser's Stop "Lever": Set the Event "Chaser's Stop "Lever" with "Action Button" Trigger, Priority "Same as Characters" and "6: 4x Faster" Speed and "5: Highest" Freq. Inside the Contents make a "Conditional Branch" with Switch "Chasing Start" On. Check for "Set Handling when conditions do not apply". Inside and below the Conditional Branch, Make a Switch with "Chasing Stop" On. Below the Switch put a text to appear when the Chasing Stops. Below the Text Put a Self Switch "A" On. Below the "Else" box, put a text to appear when the Chasing isn't yet turned off. On the same Event make a second page with "Action Button" Trigger, Priority "Same as Characters" and "6: 4x Faster" Speed and "5: Highest" Freq. On the Conditions set on the Self Switch "A" On. Inside the Contents make a text to appear when the Chasing is turned off. The Event Should look like this: That's all. Just set all those on every map you want the chasing event to be and remember to change the names of all the events in the commands when you paste them, because on every different map the names of the events are changing/being reset. I have some notes that i have to mention. (Suggestions are open). If a map that the Chaser is enabled on, has multiple transfer paths, make sure to set the Chaser to appear on all of those paths, because when the player leaves but returns to the map, if it doesn't have settings that applied to the path the player went, the Chaser becomes invisible and goes to the player. (If you have game over command on the chaser, it's gonna happen). Sometimes, if the player enters a map that the Chaser is enabled on, and Player doesn't move at all, the Chaser stays still until the player takes at least 1 step. (I kinda fixed that by setting the Chaser's movement type to "approach" instead of "fixed") In "Step 3) Setting the "Transfer Player" Event:" on the 4 and 5 line numbers, if you don't set up those 2 steps, when the player re-enters a map that the chaser is enabled in there, the chaser will be on the spot the player left it. So if it's near the transfer event, it's likely that the Chaser will go right on the player.

I'm simply looking to have an arbitrary value change based on if an actor (preferably party member) has any features that contain a specific notetag, but I keep running into error after error, and it has led me to and past the 'toss the keyboard and mouse at the wall' level of frustration. I've actually tried using previous scriptlets but none of them are doing me any damn bit of good. I currently have a module set up with a single value; this I want to be altered if the notetag calls for it. I'll provide more detail if this gets any traction; as is there's not a lot more detail to provide.

Hi there! Need some help with a particular problem using some menus, specifically the CSCA - Achievements menu script. Problem: If a set of text is too long, it gets, well, "squished". I'm looking to include some line breaks, but nothing's working. Including a screenshot so you know what I mean. The text is SUPPOSED to read "See all Warren-related events (missable after Chapter 12.)", however, everything just gets horribly squished. As you can see in the screenshot, there's plenty of space under the circled text to include a line break. I've tried \n, I've tried a combo with "text1" + "text2", I've tried simply pressing enter to start a new line (I knew that won't work but hey, might as well do it so I can say I tried)... I know that's not nearly every option but I can't really figure this one out. While I can make decent graphics, I'm not the brightest tool in the shed when it comes to the coding side of things. I'm clearly missing something. And while I know where to go to change the width of some menu's texts, or the height, I don't know how to add extra lines or anything like that. If anyone has any ideas, any code snippets or "try this" or anything, I'd be grateful. Text-based scripts using: Mithran's Text Cache Yanfly's Ace Message System The menu in question: CSCA Achievements (and of course, if anyone needs more information from me, please let me know.)

Noyemi K's Dynamic Music System Version: 1.0 Author: Noyemi K Date: February 16, 2015 Version History Version 1.0: Original ScriptPlanned Future Versions None (though perhaps it can be extended to include menu music too and have more user-friendly ways to add variations) Description This script allows you to switch between various versions of a BGM, dynamically. For example, you have a version of the track that's just a backbeat, a version with the bass and the backbeat, and a version with all of that plus the melody. It switches between them without restarting the track, just by using a Control Variable event. An easy, customizable naming convention allows you to get more descriptive, but the default uses numbers. I made this with adventure games and ABS RPGs in mind, but it could work with anything really. Features Switch between different variations on one BGM using a variable that you specify in the script Easy editing of variation names Works with auto-start BGM on maps Works only with OGG files or PCM (WAVs) Instructions Place this into its own script above main. You can look in the script for additional instructions.

My request is two-fold. Main request: I need to know if there is a script/set of them that emulates the spell maker from the early Elder Scrolls games. Secondary: If so, who made them and where can I find them. If not, how complicated would it be to make this. For those that do not know what in the name of Mercy I am talking about, the spell maker is a Mages' Guild shop where one takes various spell effects, assigns the casting type (for self/target/range/etcetera), saving throw (save versus j/s/v/x/z attribute), and most importantly, sets the various stats for each effect (chance/duration/efficacy/etcetera), which in turn alters the cost (in gold bits) to craft the spell and the casting cost (in MP) of the spell.

Map Drops Author: Tsukihime Overview This script allows you to discard items from your inventory and onto the map. You can then pick it up later. Features Drop an item onto the map, either manually or using script calls Dropped items can disappear overtime (decay time) Customize decay times for individual items and equips Dropped items are displayed using their icons Add map drops using script calls Usage Go to your item menu and press the A key (game "X") to drop an item Then see it on the map. To add a map drop using script calls, use add_map_drop('w23', amount) add_map_drop('a12', amount) add_map_drop('i1', amount) Where the "w" means weapon, "a" means armor, and "i" means item. You can specify a specific x,y position on some map. By default, the position is your player's current position, and the map ID is the current map's ID. add_map_drop(string, amount, x, y, map_id) add_map_drop('a3', 1, 4, 5, 2) #create item in map 2 at position (4,5) add_map_drop('i1', 2, 3, 3) #map_id is omitted add_map_drop('w2', 1) # x, y, and map_id omitted) If decay time is not 0, it will disappear after that many seconds.You can choose whether dropped items will disappear or not. To specify decay times for individual items or equips, tag them with <drop-decay: n>Some configuration options available: Default_Disable - dropping items from inventory is disabled by default. Access this through $game_system.mapdrop_disabled through script calls if you need to change this throughout the game. Enable_Maps - you can only drop items in certain maps Enable_All - you can drop items on any map (overrides Enable_Maps options) Download Script: Download here Notes Does someone want to improve the script by providing a nice confirmation window as well as a number input when discarding? Also, creating the chest opening animation is kind of tedious. Someone want to do that? It's basically printing out the page list for an existing chest event and then copying all of that in script.

Need help finding a script that allows the game to control two players at the same time

I've been banging my head against a wall trying to find a solution to this problem in VX Ace, although it seems almost insurmountable - how in the world can I animate busts speaking, while also not using facesets, but rather pictures? My dialogue system uses pictures heavily to animate things easily. I've completely ruled out finding a solution using the event editor - no matter what I do, autorun or parallel process, any attempt will end up stopping after text is displayed. Even if I place it in a loop, it's non functional. Obviously, it destroys the illusion. Moreover, even if I were to figure out a way to do that, I would have to individually time every single line of dialogue in the game - absolutely horrendous. No one would want to do that. I don't know how to do it...and it seems from my fervent google searches that if anyone else knows how, they're not sharing. All I want to do is display a small 2 frame picture loop over other pictures, and time it to the every other text character being drawn to create the illusion of talking, and when the text stops displaying, the animation stops. I truly feel like I'm going insane attempting to find a solution, so I'm just admitting that I need help here!

Haven't had any luck asking for help elsewhere so figured I'd ask here too. Essentially, I'm using the Composite Graphics script (found here) by Modern Algebra. The script itself works just fine, but I can't find a way to let me change the graphic being used for armour under different conditions, like a control switch being activated, a state being inflicted, etc. I mainly want to use this for cutscenes. I.e., the player is wearing their custom clothes/armour, but then when the player sits down in a chair, their clothing looks out of place due to being meant for the basic standing/walking animation. I'd like to be able to somehow use alternative 'sitting' variants of the clothing here, but I can't find a way to do this. Any help would be greatly appreciated, hopefully I explained myself clearly. (Alternatively, if anyone knows of a way to do the above with a different script (like Victor's), that would also work just as well.) Oh, and preferably, I would be able to manipulate an event with the same appearance as the actor for cutscenes, instead of having to manipulate the player themself. If that's too complicated, though, I can probably get by with moving the player around directly, although the former would be preferred. Thanks in advance anyone who tries to help!

Has anyone ever found it annoying to manually break up text to fit in the message boxes, especially if you start tweaking with the game resolution or the text box sizes? Well, I sure have. It's rather annoying to me that simple word wrapping is beyond the capability of the vx ace engine... but no more for I bring ye, yonder script to solve yon problem! It also adds a few new escape sequences and a optional HTML-like whitespace mode that converts linebreaks to spaces. More features (like possibly a option to get rid of leading/trailing spaces for a line) may come in the future. Edit: Now up to version SEVEN! Six is afraid of it!)

Hello, me again with another script issue. I was breaking my head for 2 days in a row with this. In a script I'm trying to edit, I can't figure out how to create the next script call. This is the original script call that work perfectly: This return me if the card with a certain ID is in the deck of my actor. Now, the problem is that I tried to make another similar script call and I though it would be easy, but is not... (This is just an example, I know the * 2 won't return me the amount of that card) I want to create the almost exact script call but instead to return me if there's any copy of the card with that ID, I need to return me if there's 2 or more with the same id. I read a lot of articles of ruby code, but can't figure out how to separate the "ID" and the "object quantity". I can't find a way to ask by code how many copies of something with the same ID I have in the deck. I'm really struggling with this one. Thanks in advance to whoever hero who can help me out with this!

Nevermind, I just solved it. For some reason the code "for actor is" doesn't work for what I wanted, I changed it to actor = $game_actors[$game_variables[27]] and worked perfectly. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello there. This is my first post in this forum! Sorry if something like this was already answerd, but I can't figure out how to search for something like this. Here's my problem: I'm using an script that has a script call. The problem is that this script call do something with all party members, and I want to do it with an specific actor. Here's the piece of code: def has_card?(id) for actor in $game_party.members for card in actor.deck return true if card.id == id end end return false end And I tried to make my own custom one with an specific card in an actor deck and ended with this: def has_card_in_deck?(id) for actor in $gameActors.actor($gameVariables.value(27)) for card in actor.deck return true if card.id == id end end return false end While variable 27 determine the actor ID of the last action made in battle. I'm not good at ruby, maybe there's an easy way to get the ID of the actor who performed the last action, and maybe with this coding I'm making something wrong. The error I get is related to: undefined method 'value' for nil:NilClass As far as I understand, this say that my method to define the actor is wrong. But I don't know what else to do. Any help would be welcome!
