Jolt Android 36 Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) Hi, I don't know if there's a problem with how I have my scripts or damage calculations set up in my game, however I have them as default for now (for ex: a.atk * 4 - b.def * 2). Having said that, it seems that counterattacks use the stats of the one who triggers the counterattack in determining how much damage the counter attack does, and not the stats of whomever is doing the counterattack. I hope what I said makes sense ^_^'' I suppose as a workaround, I could just reverse the a and b in the database's formula. Was this the intended effect? EDIT: Nevermind, I think Victor Engine's Retaliation Damage script messed with this one. I changed the order of the scripts and now all is well.

tmrev 2 Posted January 16, 2014 (edited) After I installed the script, it lowers the damage counter attacks do. Where can I change that? EDIT* I started a brand new project to test, and even without additional scripts, it's using enemy's strength to calculate damage done by counter attacks.

tmrev 2 Posted January 17, 2014 No worries man, if you're a noob, I'm a double noob. That said, I've found another glitch. When you counter attack, enemy attack states get inflicted on them as well. Example, a Wisp get's paralyzed, a Skeleton gets blinded, and so on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DoubleX 208 Posted January 17, 2014 No worries man, if you're a noob, I'm a double noob. That said, I've found another glitch. When you counter attack, enemy attack states get inflicted on them as well. Example, a Wisp get's paralyzed, a Skeleton gets blinded, and so on. It seems that the glitch you mentioned didn't occur(physical or mev cnt) in my test on a project without any other custom scripts. I also examined the mechanism of my script and its related methods and I don't think such glitch is even possible at all But as the glitch is in fact occurred in your project, it must actually exist. May you please describe the settings of your project, the glitch itself and its situations more elaborately? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tmrev 2 Posted January 18, 2014 (edited) I just ran a default project with no extra scripts. I set my actor's counter rate to 100% to test and just guarded. About every other successful counter hit inflict the enemy's attack state onto the enemy I countered. No change to any of the default settings, actor was using default equipment at lv 1. Edit So I recopied the script just to be sure and its working fine now. Don't know what happened, lol. Edited January 18, 2014 by tmrev Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dinhbat3 57 Posted April 1, 2014 Hey Double X, I had a quick question about this script. Does this script require the skill to be learned by the actor to use it as a viable counter attack? If not is there an easy edit to do so? ~ Dinhbat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dinhbat3 57 Posted April 3, 2014 (edited) I will try it out once I get my counterattack issue fixed! Thanks DoubleX **EDIT** Tried it out and the requirement to learn skill works perfectly! I did run into a different issue however... For some reason the magic counter causes an odd loop. Here is the test I ran so you can see what happened. Actor 1: Uses Magic Evade 100% State Skill Enemy 1: Uses Ice - Actor 1 Evades Actor 1: Uses Counterattack 100% State Skill Enemy 1: Uses Ice - Actor 1 Evades & Counters with Attack Enemy 1: Dies... BUT.... Enemy 1 Uses Ice Again - Actor 1 Counters with Attack If the enemy dies there is no harm other than a dead enemy using a skill and a counter attack on a dead enemy. When there are multiple enemies on screen or when the enemy does not die ending the battle crashes with this message popping up I tried it with a clean file using the magic evade & counter 100% combo. The initial spell cast by the enemy and the counterattack happens twice, but there is no game crash. I am hoping if there is a way to make sure it only happens once it would stop the crash from happening in the main file I am working on as well. Any thoughts on this? ~ Dinhbat Edited April 3, 2014 by dinhbat3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dinhbat3 57 Posted April 7, 2014 Hey DoubleX, Just wanted to poke in and see if you had a chance to look into the Magic Counter issue I mentioned in the last post.

Any thoughts on this? ~ Dinhbat May you please tell me the complete setting of the script you used?(Actor_Learn_Counterattack_Skill, CNT_Negate_Hit, COUNTERATTACK_MESSAGE, MEV_Invoke_CNT, Default_Counterattack)? I tried to reproduce your situation but I failed to reproduce the bug. For the crash, it must be involved with script evaluation in common events or battle events since it's what Game_Interpreter line 1411 does and my script didn't even touch Game_Interpreter at all. It means that you must have added scripts(advanced section of event commands) in common events or battle events for it to evaluate. May you also please tell me what that or those script is? P.S. My late reply is because I haven't seen your reply on 3 April.

Harmill 5 Posted July 3, 2014 It seems that when you assign a skill for Counterattack, the animation doesn't play. The lack of animation makes the counter attack seem jarring and difficult to follow what's going on when text boxes are set to a high setting. Also, I tested having a skill like Dual Attack as a counter skill and only one hit is applied to the target. If the counter skill is a multi-target ability, it also only hits the actor that attacked and triggered the counter. If it's not too difficult, could these issues be fixed? Being able to have a boss that counters physical with an AoE magic attack or something would be really nice, and being able to distinguish which ability is used as a counter, through a visible animation, will make them feel more complete and impactful. Perhaps include in the <counterattack: 4> tag a way to tell the counter to display the animation or not. Maybe something like <counterattack: 4, true>. Thanks!
