Basic Side View Battle System

[Cecillia 652]

How can I move the battlers down a bit so that they aren't floating all the way at the top?

[SeraphStray 0]

So, basically, as per the instructions (assuming Im reading them correctly), we need to make the different actors actually playable by typing in their names like so:

 

eric_battler

natalie_battler

 

and so on until we have all of the characters that we want to be able to play as listed there?

 

Edit:

 

So I did what I said above, so the code looks like this:

 

 

lass Game_Actor < Game_Battler

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------

# â— New Method battler_name

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------

def battler_name

eric_battler

natalie_battler

terence_battler

ernest_battler

 

return actor.name + "_battler"

end

 

anddddd....It generates an error whether or not you capitalize the names, or if you put actor."name"_battler. They all generate errors. >.>;;;

 

Edit 2:

 

Also tried battler_"name". Still generating an error. What am I doing wrong here? I'm 100% sure I'm following instructions..

heyey,

 

@Cecilia: You can edit the placing from your characters in the line where it says:

return 120 + self.index * 40

Change the 120 to any number but keep in mind that the higher the number the lower they will be placed. Also you have to adjust the spacing between the other battlers by changing the 40 to a smaller number. Just play a bit with this line and maybe the x-coordinates, which are find at def screen_x

 

@SeraphStray:

You missunderstood it a little. You have to create a .png file which contains only the one Sprite of the Actor. Name it as example: Ralph_battler and put it into the Graphics/Battler folder.

oh ok. And once its in the folder...call it like the script says above? Ralph_battler and then the image will appear...

 

edit:

 

So just to test it, I made a random character in the game, saved it as Name_battler, put it in the battler folder..and...got the same error. Line 28 saying that Name_battler isnt defined or something along those lines. ...shouldve copied and pasted. x.x

you have not to write anything into the script. Only put it into the folder Grapics/Battler, then it will work (:

Hmmm I found a version of this that let you use character graphics somewhere... I have been using it as a base and adding some basic animation and stuff.

[Cecillia 652]

Is there a way to make the battlers more separated because I'm using kinda big images and no, do not reply with resize them

 

Edit: Found it out LOL

Hey, this may be a strange question but is there a way to disable this script during the middle of the game?

[Caveras 40]

Hey there, sorry to bother you with this, but I'm having a small issue with this and Yanfly's Input Combo Skills ( http://yanflychannel.wordpress.com/rmvxa/gameplay-scripts/input-combo-skills/ ). The issue being that the actors step forward after each button press when you are entering a combo, probably because the button presses are skills more or less disguised as commands.

 

If anyone has an easy solution for this, I'd be grateful!

[Caveras 40]

Bump for the last question.

[Caveras 40]

Bump, and sorry once again. I still haven't found the right spot where to split the directional movement from Jet's script from the inputs/combo command skills from Yanfly's script...I believe this can be solved with a single variable, but I still would need to know where to inject something like "if variable x is on (i.e., if one of Yanfly's combo-native commands like "Left", "Right", "Up" etc is pushed), then don't move towards the enemy."

 

Any help appreciated! =)

Is this script compatible with mog hunters battle system? His battle system is only face sets. And i really want sidewiew

battle system. Is this compatible?

Huge bug I found. When you use a revive sort of skill, the downed character's sprite is still missing.

Just put the two scripts in your projects and see for yourself. You get a faster answer that way any day. Post the error if there appears one so one can fix it maybe instead of answering your first question with "uhm yeah maybe, maybe not".

Maybe because the downed character isn't downed anymore after having been revived?

Well that's a pretty serious error... that method should definitely exist on that object...

 

You'll probably need to look at the other scripts you have installed. I would have to guess that one of them has issues, or is explicitly incompatible with any other script that uses $game_party.battle_members.  Somehow that method has been removed, so something you've got is breaking it.

 

(*I have to assume it is not an issue in this script, based on the error message; I haven't actually reviewed the script, but since it seems to work for everyone else there is a high probability that he problem is specific to your game configuration).

 

-EDIT -

Isn't there a support forum that is supposed to be used for issues like this?  Or can people use both the support forum and the source thread?  (question more for a mod/forum power user)

-edit to my edit -

lol I think I got confused with the other forum =P  so never mind on this question

Hi guys, I'm having the same situation as Lance, and it has been baffling me for a while. Did you ever find a solution for it, please?

 

Caveras, the issue is that after reviving a character (whether outside or inside battle), the sprite of the newly revived character isn't drawn again. The character is revived, but "invisible" until their next battle action. This leads end users of the game into thinking their character hadn't actually been revived for a solid 10 seconds of battle.

 

How is everyone else circumventing this, please?
