while working on my game I have finally got to making the boss but I want the boss to be able to grab the enemy while in battle which would show a image and do bind damage overtime not to sure how to do this but I heard switch or a event would be best to do it.

Hello again, fellow RPG Maker community, So I'm trying to implement scrolling battlebacks into my VX Ace game. I have this scene where the character says something in a battle, the screen flashes, and then the front and back battlebacks change, and then they start scrolling and looping much like a parallax background. I tried coding some manual events, but this seems impossible without a script. I looked around for a script and only found this one: https://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?threads/scrolling-battleback.41844/ It seemed like it would do the trick, but after inserting it into my game, as soon as I boot up the game I get this error: I have never seen an error like this before. I even put it into a new project and it still wouldn't work. Does anyone know what the problem is and how to fix it? Or does anyone know of another script that does this?

This topic aims to share the basic knowledge on what the default RMMZ TPBS battle flow implementations do in general, but you're still assumed to have at least: 1. Some plugin development proficiency(having written several easy, simple and small battle-related plugins up to 1k LoC scale) 2. Basic knowledge on what the default RMMZ turn based battle flow implementations do in general 3. Basic knowledge on what the default RMMZ TPBS battle flow does in general on the user level(At least you need to know what's going on on the surface when playing it as a player) Simplified Flowchart Please note that this flowchart only includes the most important elements of the battle flow, to avoid making it too complicated and convoluted for the intended targeting audience Battle Start Input Action Slots Thinking In Frames Frame Start Start Phase Turn Phase Action Phase Turn End Phase Battle End Phase Update TPB Input Summary That's all for now. I hope this can help you grasp these basic knowledge. For those thoroughly comprehending the essence of the default RMMZ TPBS battle flow implementations, feel free to correct me if there's anything wrong For those wanting to have a solid understanding to the default RMMZ TPBS battle flow implementations, I might open a more advanced topic for that later

Im trynna make it so the characters have portraits in the battles rather than showing the character and they rotate to face the enemies, and it ruins the effect. How do I fix this

Hello everyone, I thought of concretizing an idea to modify the gameplay in combat. What I would like is to have two types of gauge that work like HP gauges, that is to say when we get to zero for one or the other (they are independent) then it is game over. I actually renamed the normal HP parameter to correspond to will points (WP, a mental life bar). And so, I was thinking of using this script to create new HP parameter (normal life point): https://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?threads/custom-parameters-v1-5-22-04-2018.60832/ But, I realize that it is not that simple, even if I manage to display a new HP life bar below the basic life bar (which I call WP). There should also be a damage formula, where the skills can detect if they attack the first bar or the second (or both). In addition, we should also create a second state of "death", because I do not want it to be the same alteration of state, even if both can lead to game over (one can be mental KO and other physical KO). I think that all this requires more than just slightly modifying a few scripts, in any case, I don't have the skills. But I can see the possibility of adding a note in a skill to indicate which types of gauge (WP or HP) is targeted. If I can get that just for the player character, I'll be happy. I would like to know if anyone is interested in making a script like this. The strategy in combat would be modified, it would be necessary to monitor both its mental life bar (WP) and the physical life bar (HP). However, HP is for me, in my game, more secondary; or else we should think about creating new associated characteristics (Def, etc.) to further optimize. But it complicates the work ... I mainly use the scripts YEA - Ace Battle Engine and MOG - Battle Hud EX (for this one I can modify the graphic Hud myself and add a gauge location).

Hello, I've been looking for a script or a tutorial on how to do this without a script to no prevail. All I want is what's in the title: For the enemies to flash for about 1 second with a damaged sprite whenever taking a hit. I don't want it to show if they are attacked but the attack misses. I've been trying to work it out with variables in the troops screen but it hasn't been successful so far. Any tips/scripts I may not know about would be greatly appreciated.

So what I'm trying to do is make a game where team mates are basically, single use. You got the MC who's a general fighter. A Tank character who can't hit any targets. A healer that can heal almost exclusively. and a Glass Cannon that can kill any enemy in one hit, assuming she gets to use her skill. (It'll make sense if I get around to the end) The trouble I'm having right now is the Tank. I want her to have a move called 'body guard' and how this works is she'll 'distract' the enemy, forcing all of them to target her for for a turn. The issue I have is getting them to target her. I've made the move as a common event, and the event command is under Battle, force action, Enemy (I'll do one for every enemy on screen) Skill: Attack, Target (??????) I don't know how to make it so they target the Tank character. There are Index entries 1-8, but I'm not sure how to find to change them. Any help will much be appreciated. Sorry if this is basic and I'm just blind to an obvious solution that I can't see. I'm very new to RPG Maker. Oh, and is there a way to put a two turn delay on an attack? A start up/charging time?

I have a question for something I’d like to do in my game. I have a bit of a strange enemy HP system - the gist of it is, each enemy’s HP starts at half, and the enemy should be considered dead if the HP reaches 0 OR if the HP is full (with negative attacks, that heal). I need help with this latter condition… how can I make it so that the enemy is considered “dead” to the game when the HP is full? The player should still receive EXP with either win condition. I know I’ll need to make it so that the status cannot be inflicted until the halving command has run, but I’m a bit stumped as where to go from there. I don’t think this will require a complex script, but if it does let me know and I’ll move/repost in the appropriate section.

Hey, total newbie to MV here: Very sorry if this has already been answered in a previous thread! I couldn't find it... I have a skill that damages all enemies in combat, and the skill animation is working fine, but I want the damage popups to appear all at once (rather than one by one for each enemy). Im using these plugins at the moment: YEP_X_ActSeqPack1 YEP_X_ActSeqPack2 YEP_X_ActSeqPack3 YEP_BattleEngineCore I've read through a lot of the documentation on these plugins and have been digging around on Google for an hour and all I could find was this https://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?threads/apply-damage-to-all-simultaneously.96638/ I think I'm just not understanding the extreme basics here! Am I missing something obvious or am I just going about this wrong? How can I make the damage popups and subsequent deaths of enemies happen at once rather than in a chain? attached is a screenshot of my skill

I have several scripts installed but after I added Moghunter's ATB I no longer get battle messages. You know, those little "(username) uses/casts X!" I want to be able to do stuff like having an enemy fumble an attack and a quick message would appear saying "X fumbles their attack!" and the message would let the player know why the enemy seemingly skipped a turn. Don't suppose anybody would be aware of a way to get them to show up again? I'm also using the Ace Battle Engine if that matters?

Of course, there has to be one on the forums. Introduction This is a simple counting game, with tiny little bit of RPG elements. The number represents our experience.

Links to plugins: As the title says, when DreamX's Battle Status Core extension is used in a project also containing YEP's sectioned gauges, the sectioned gauges are not drawn in battle. I assume this is because DreamX's extension didn't take into account that sectioned gauges could also be used too. See the attached image for an example. On the left is my Battle Status Window's previous set up. On the right is with DreamX's plugin. While I like the new set up better, the sectioned gauges are now gone. (they still appear outside of battle) As far as I understand this isn't a complicated fix. DreamX's plugin would need a part added to it that checks to see if the project also has YEP's Sectioned Gauges. And, if it does, it draws the black lines on the gauges to the way the user has set them in YEP's plugin. Anyone willing to take a crack at this?

Hello! I was hoping someone could help me create a, inventory related script. What I'm hoping to create is a "Battle Pouch", which essentially acts as a secondary inventory (with a limited capacity, ideally based on a variable, for the sake of future-proofing). In battle, using the item command would not give you access to your main inventory, but instead only to the items you placed into your Battle Pouch beforehand. As a side note, I don't know if it would be easier to go about making this from scratch, or by building off of an existing script, but I do already make use of the Storage Boxes script. These do allow you to place items in a separate inventory, although I don't know if accessing them/using them in battle would be feasible. I just thought I'd toss the idea out there in case it makes things easier. I hope this all makes sense. By all means, let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!

YanPac Battle HUD Version 0.3 Yanfly and Pacman Introduction This script adds the Actor HUD from Yanfly Engine Ace's Battle System to the default battle system. It draws the actor's name, face, HP, MP, TP, action and states. The script automatically detects whether to draw the actor's TP or MP depending on which skills they have. You can change some simple aesthetic options in the configuration. Features - Comprehensive HUD for actors in battle. - Simple notebox tags to alter the drawing of HP, TP and MP. - Allows for simple aesthetic configuration. Screenshots Be carefult, very large. From top to bottom, the screenshots are; the normal HUD, drawing HP and MP; the normal HUD with some tags in the actors’ noteboxes to make specific gauges drawn; the same HUD working with Neo Gauge Ultimate; the HUD with one actor having no gauges drawn (yeah, you can do that); and the same HUD during the action. The database image shows you how you can use the tags. How to Use Simply paste the script in an empty slot underneath Materials. The configuration is explained in the script header, as are the notetags. Demo Not really necessary. Script I recommend getting it from Pastebin or my blog. However, I will post it here. FAQ None, as of yet. Ask away if you have any questions. Credit and Thanks Credit - Pacman Credit - Yanfly Thanks - Yami Author's Notes I will make this script compatible with another script if you ask me, and it isn’t too hard. But be aware that I do have schoolwork, so don’t expect everything done within a day. I hope this script works for you, and you like it! Note that I am not very active on this forum, it is much easier to reach me on my blog (in my signature) or on RMRK. I do check in here occasionally though. I made this because someone on RRR requested a Battle HUD for actors in VXA. Because I’m lazy, I simply extracted the HUD from YEA Battle System and made it work on its own. Yanfly did give me permission to do this. In addition to this simple request, I decided to make this HUD compatible with other scripts for maximum awesomeness.

Hello, I am writing to ask how I might go about implementing a rear-view battle system, as shown in the following images: https://m.imgur.com/gallery/hJWenhT https://imgur.com/a/PQZiChc Just a simple system w the party on the bottom of the screen & enemies on top, that lets you use walking sprites that step forward when it’s their turn and step back when their turn ends. I have asked in various ways in various places how to achieve this, but I’ve met with little success. I have seen a lot of chatter online about this type of system and many games that use it, but no clear answer on how to achieve it in RPG Maker MV. I’m open to methods that make use of plugins as well, but so far I haven’t seen any for MV. Thank you for your time.

I don't know if theres already one or whatever, would apreciate it if I could get pointed if there already is one, But like when a specific state is applied to player or enemy it will tint whoever is applied, Like you can put a RGB colour code in the state tag that tints it towards that colour at a specific opacity Idk, This would be for a non comercial game, just for a rpg for me play on my own time

This is part 1 of a two part tutorial on how to make Graphical First Person Battles using events. Part 2 will come when I figure out the best way to animate the attacks. So if anyone has any idea how to check if an actor is attacking for the purpose of a conditional branch condition, let me know. I love the default combat system. Side view is all right, but its been done by 34956875602 different games. I like the first person aspect. To me it just feels more personal. Sadly it is a little lacking in the flair department, and so I set out to fix this. Keep in mind, what I am about to show you isn't for the faint of heart or those allergic to chocolate. And it might give you a quick glimpse of how certain events can be used differently and more creatively. Evented True First person battles. (Disclaimer, this is not animated. It simply shows hands, and weapons/gauntlets/shields if you set them up. See opening comments about the system being animated) (Disclaimer 2, this only checks for the equipment of the first actor, or whoever you set up the common event for) Step 1. Creating the Resources In this evented combat system, we will be using pictures to show the player and weapons instead of sprites. In this tutorial, they will be referred to as the "Frame" or "Frames". All frames will go in your "Picture" folder, in the img folder at the root of your Project Folder. I HIGHLY recommend using gimp to modify/create pictures. I use it for all of my sprite art. You can find it at http://www.gimp.org/downloads/ All frames must be the native resolution of the game you are creating. Meaning that if you are using the default resolution, the frames must be 816x624. I started with a basic empty picture, sized 816x624. Make sure that it is transparent. If you dont know how to do that, well, google works wonders when learning to use a program like Gimp. I then cropped and modified some of the SV actors hands to create a kind of Elder scrolls esque view. For the Spriting illiterate, here is a basic image to use/build off of. I then modified some of the weapons sprites in the same way. You may also use/build off of these. After you have these resources, you are ready for the eventing! Step 2. Creating the Event First and foremost, we will be using a common event at the beginning of each battle to show the equipment. So name a common event something like FPB or something, idk. Within that common event, we are going to be using conditional branches to check for equipment at the start of battle. The first event will be Show Picture. This is located on the second tab under Picture. The frame we will be using is "Holding.png" Set that frame to be picture number 3. The reason this is set first, and not in a condition, is so that even if we dont have a weapon equipped, it will still show the fists. So barehand fighting is a thing. From there the flow of adding items is rather simple. Condtional Branch> Actor> Weapon>the weapon you want to check for Make sure to leave "create else branch?" unticked. Then within that conditional branch we set the corresponding weapon frame. Show Picture> "name of weapon frame you wish to use" Set that to picture number 1 E.g Conditional Branch>Actor 1>Weapon> Longsword the conditional branch will show up as *If: Actor 1 has equipped Longsword Show Picture : #1, Longsword, Upper Left (0,0), (100%,100%), 255, Normal The picture number indicates in what order it will be drawn, 1 being the first and lowest frame. Therefore when we use the "Holding" frame as picture two, and the weapon frame as picture 1, the holding frame will overlap the weapon giving the appearance of being held. Do the same for each weapon in your database. By the time you are finished it should look something like this; Step 3. Calling the system for battle The very last step in this process is to run the common event from the troop tab. Go to troops, and in the battle event, run the common event we just created. Set the conditions for Turn number 0 and the span as Battle. It should look like this If you don't fell like setting up EVERY troop event I highly recommend Yanfly's Base Troop Events. It will allow you to use the first troop's event as a general event that ALL troops use. You can find it here http://yanfly.moe/yep/ Step 4. Prepare for BATTLE! With any luck I have described this well enough for you to have the event set up perfectly. Go in to battle young one, and draw thee pixel sword!

Hello, I am planning to have one of my characters use an attack that does heavy damage to an enemy. Should the enemy be killed, the character will use another attack (shortened, slightly weakened) version of it on another enemy. Should that attack kill the second enemy, the character will use this attack on a third and so forth. How could I achieve this? My main problem is checking if the attack kills an enemy, the rest should be fine.
