Battle Challenge

Battle Challenge

Vers. 0.8

Last update : Sept. 20, 2014

 

Introduction

This script reproduce a challenge system.

At the start of a battle, a challenge appears. 

It's simple : if you pass the instructions you get rewards at the end of the battle.

Example of a challenge: "Win the battle in X turns",

or... "Do a critical strike", ect.

 

You can create your OWN challenge with rewards, description and all.

But to be customizable to the fullest, you need some knowledge in ruby script.

If you can't manage to make it, you can ask me for help.

 

Screens

 

 

Instrutions

In the script.

Make sure that the challenge maker is above the core.

Q & A:

Q : It's difficult to make a challenge

A : You need a bit of rgss knowledge if you want to make your own challenges, yeah.

But in RPG Maker, customization comes with scripting.

unexpected tSTRING_BEG, expecting '}'
"......" =>

A : Don't forget the comma after the string inside the challenge maker

 

Q : I have a bug

A : Please report

 

Q : I do not understand your explanations

A : I'm sorry about that.

Oh, very interesting! Will be sure to give it a shot once I get the chance. Thanks for sharing!

 

Edit: Just got around to testing it. After completing a challenge and winning the battle, the game froze. Seems like a really neat script but it doesn't seem to be compatible with yanfly's battle engine or victory aftermath, which I make use of. Not sure which is causing the problem, but anyways. Again thanks for sharing!

 

Edit 2: Decided to test it a bit more, this time, I was able to go past the victory screen and back out of battle. Not really sure what caused the freezing in the first place, but it was during the assasination challenge, then again, this 2nd attempt I didn't manage to complete the challenge. Will continue to play around with it for a bit.

 

Edit 3:It's a neat script, but there's a lot of freezing going on. I realize this is mentioned in one of the scripts but eh..

Whoa, this....this is a neat idea for a script! I'm gonna tinker around with it.

This is not surprising if you have a script that add a battle result of something that happens a the the battle beginning. 

I am working on to try to make it compatible with this kind of script.

I use yanfly victory aftermath, can you tell me if this is compatible with yanfly scritps? Because it's a very good script!

[Coolie 148]

I was looking for something just like this! Very cool.

[Lecode 34]

Unfortunately not realy, but i'm working on.

-Works great with Yanfly Victory Atermath as long as you set On_Message_Window to false

-Doesn't work properly with Yanfly Battle Engine

[Lecode 34]

Update :

Works with both Yanfly engine & victory aftermath.

But make sure to put this script below them.

[MHRob 8]

Game still freezes at the beginning of a battle. Also, if possible a suggestion? Would there be a script call or switch to turn on to temporarily disable the battle challenge and to turn it back on at any time?

[Lecode 34]

Which script are you using with Aftermath and Yanfly engine ?

 

 

 

Would there be a script call or switch to turn on to temporarily disable the battle challenge and to turn it back on at any time?

Yeah, you're right.

[MHRob 8]

I'm using many different scripts that have worked together thus far, though the only battle add-ons I'm using at the moment are yanflys stuff such as the visual battlers, the victory aftermath, euphoria's enemy interactions and your challenge scripts.

 

Edit: I have a very bad habbit of tapping the Z key to speed up messages so that might also be what's causing the game to freeze so much, lol... I noticed earlier it was mentioned in your script but I still keep doing it...

Edited September 5, 2014 by MHRob

[Lecode 34]

In a blank project yanfly's stuff and my script work well.

Can you make a screenshot of your script list ?

[MHRob 8]

Okay, so I did ten battles in a row while keeping my trigger happy finger away from the Z key and there was no freezing. It seems that known bug is what's causing the problem. Any way to find it's source? Would be greatly appreciated, lol.

[Lecode 34]

o.o There is no freeze, for me.

Well... it seems that the bug has disappeared with the update.

Have you really the latest version ?

 

EDIT:

Would there be a script call or switch to turn on to temporarily disable the battle challenge and to turn it back on at any time?

Done.

[vivi21 1]

Can you make it to where every time you complete a challenge a variable increases?

[Lecode 34]

Okey, i'll do it tomorrow.

[vivi21 1]

Good because I want to make different endings based on how many challenges you've completed.

[Lecode 34]

Update.

# -- V. 0.81
#    Added an option to change a variable when
#    a challenge is completed or failed

Check these lines:

#-------------------------------------------------------------------------
# â–¼ Variables that change when a chall is completed or failed
# [ value, ID ]
# value = the value that is added or subtracted to the variable
# set ID to 0 or less to disable the feature
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Var_Completed_Chall = [1,30]
Var_Failed_Chall = [-1,30]

[vivi21 1]

Ah thank you very much:)

[halrawk 11]

Hey there, I love this script, really adds a lot of fun to a battle, without being overly complex.

 

One issue I keep running into though, is the challenge name is cut off on a bunch of challenges.

 

He's an example image.

 

 

Seems to happen with a bunch of the challenges, but not all (Perfect get's the 't' cut off, and a few others).

[Lecode 34]

I plan to do an update. I'll fix it at the same time. Thanks for reporting this.

[Lecode 34]

Sorry for the delay, I didn't have too much free time.

 

# -- V. 0.9

#    Fixed an issue with the display of the challenge's name in battle.

#    Fixed an issue with "Rage".

#    Fixed an issue when there is more than one type of xp or gold bonus tag.

#    Added the possibility to add a condition for a challenge to appear.

#    Moved the challenge configuration module into the challenge maker block.

#    Challenges' exp and gold bonuses should now be visible in the result scene.

#    (Works with Yanfly Aftermath at least)

#    Added a new challenge, "Red Line" to show how conditions work.

[halrawk 11]

Awesome fixes, everything works perfect now! 

[vivi21 1]

I don't that the author will even read this but incase you do whenever I successfully complete a challenge I get this error

 

Script 'challenge' line 359 NoMethodError occured

 

 

undefined method 'gain' for nilNilClass
