Actor Duel Mini Game

[Galv 1,386]

Actor Duel Mini Game - Version 1.3
Galv

Introduction
Another script that uses Holder style animated battlers. This was more just to see what I could do than anything. It's a basic mini game and I don't have any plans to make it much more than that.


Features
This script adds a scene where you can face two actors against each other in a mini-game duel that plays similar to a fighting game.
You can start battles Player vs AI or multiplayer Player vs Player (on same computer).

The combat itself is fairly basic, you can move, jump, attack and block, using the actors’ stats and hp to determine damage. Each actor also has stamina that can prevent them from attacking when it gets too low. States and buffs do not have any effect in duels.

UPDATE:
Added the ability to setup button combo skills for actors (such as left, left, right, attack) to activate skills including projectile attacks.
Buffs and state effects such as regen, poison, parameter bonuses, etc. now work. Stuns and blinds do not.

Author's notes
Please let me know any bugs, I haven't really done much testing outside of the script itself so not sure if there are any issues using it within your rpg.

Awesome release, Galv!

I thought of implementing that kind of battle system in the past, but discarded the idea thinking that it'd probably be far too difficult to do (combine that with my limited knowledge of how battles work...).

Sure, this doesn't have move combos or other skills, but it is very interesting in itself and should provide a very good basis to implement that additional feature.

Good job Galv! This looks really cool.

Very cool! Just tested out the demo. I really love mini game scripts!
This one is a great idea & has much potential. Have you thought about adding skills (and maybe items)?

Tested it and loved it! Its awesome!   Kudos!!!

 

 

How can i change each actors base attack?

Was thinking of trying to add skills like combination buttons 'Down Left Attack', etc. But later. Didn't plan on adding items.

All actors use the same attack formula (in the script heading). There are note tags to change individual miss SE and hit animation.

Awesome! That sounds like a great idea! Can't wait for that update... still very good script (That kind of AI is not a very easy thing to script, but you did it wonderfully).

 

Again, great work!

I too am looking forward to the update This is an awesome script, thanks.

[Pikalyze 4]

Awesome! I'ma mess around with it and see if I can do anything interesting . Stick figure battles, here they come.

[Lisah 2]

Are you going to implement range attack as well Cap'n? Persay, actor fights an archer or a mage that shoots projectile elements?

[Galv 1,386]

I shall see what I can do. I'm thinking I will make them button-combo abilities. Melee will be the normal attack for everyone.

[Lamsah 2]

Oh this is so nice! I'm diffintely going to use this in my project. Please have more update Galv with more customization

[RoseGuardian 42]

Wow this looks cool! is there away to make it so that you can have allies attack with and set it up like the Tales of series? Just curious.

[Galv 1,386]

No, this is 1v1 fighting style script.

[Pikalyze 4]

While I was working on my ultimate sickfigure spritesheet for this, I was thinking about character selection screens, and how it could be made easier. Then I thought up of this idea.

What about if you made another way to determine what characters are in battle, say by a variable. Maybe if there are two variables for P1 and P2. It could be used for a lot of things, for a example, if someone made a character selection screen that just changed the two variables up when they are selected.
 

[Galv 1,386]

You can refer to a variable in a script using $game_variables[x]. So to do what you want you would use script call like:

set_fighters($game_variables[1],$game_variables[2])

[WesdrasLink 2]

Holy SHIP!

Now, this is one of best systems in RPG Maker VX Ace.

This is good to make fighting games, or yet better, something Like Tales Of Destiny. (Solo player - Like Shenmue)

To make a more dynamic battle, you could use combinations of keys (Input) to make variation of atacks, combos and especials. 

Hadouken!

Nice system!

That's what i said! Glad Galv came up with something like this... makes me wanna make this the default battle system, LoL! 

[estriole 326]

can the battler use the actor stats? so stronger actor means stronger dueler

[Galv 1,386]

Yes they use actor's stats.

Haven't actually tested with states, though. I assume any state that gives param increases will be working but anything like stuns, regen, counters, etc. won't do anything.

I'll see what I can do to make some of them take effect.

[estriole 326]

ah i see. so if we raise the actor stat. it affect the battler.

 

nice one galv... with modification this could transform ace to rpg+fighting game .

[iClassic 0]

Good job guy

[Lamsah 2]

Didn't know that was possible, i just tested it out and it works!!!

 

Awesome for implementing this feature at first launch

[Galv 1,386]

Well, it took a while. It's ugly and messy code. The AI isn't very intelligent but I still struggle beating it. It probably has some bugs that I missed... But it's been updated now.

 

 

 

 

Added state icons, button combo skills, projectile attacks. Buffs and states work and disappear once their turn limit is up. Most state functionality is there apart from blind, stun, counter attack, reflect and probably some others.

[VenomTDA 36]

This is getting fast to be one of the best scripts around. With a little extra feature one could easy make a Swordcraft Story game. I'm amazed at how much you progressed from your first scripts to the ones that you are making now. Nice job.
