Okay, I've searched everywhere online for a solution to this problem.

 

Basically, I've encountered a conflict between using the Yanfly Battle Engine script and Falcao's Pearl ABS script.  Frankly, I'm not surprised, yet both scripts claim to work well with most others.  Besides, the problem I'm having is fairly specific:

 

Anyways, Falcao's ABS script allows battle mode to switch to an action mode play style (Zelda, Secret of Mana, etc.) but when I set the monsters to shoot fire (as opposed to attack me with an axe or something) I get this message:

I tried playing the game without the Yanfly script and the enemies shoot fireballs at me, I take damage.  Everything works perfectly.  I'll hold off sending more details about this problem until I get a reply.

 

Sorry if this is against the rules - I looked for SPOILER and didn't see how to do this.  I'm going to go a bit overboard on the details here, so here's the Yanfly Battle Engine Script:

# Бе Updates
# =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
# 2012.12.18 - Added preset views and able to change direction in-game.
# 2012.07.24 - Finished Script.
# 2012.01.05 - Started Script.
# 
#==============================================================================
# Бе Introduction
# =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
# This script provides a visual for all actors by default charsets. The actions
# and movements are alike Final Fantasy 1, only move forward and backward when 
# start and finish actions.
# 
#==============================================================================
# Бе Instructions
# =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
# To change the player direction in-game, use the snippet below in a script 
# call: 
# 
# $game_system.party_direction = n
#
# To install this script, open up your script editor and copy/paste this script
# to an open slot below Бе Materials but above Бе Main. Remember to save.
# 
#==============================================================================
# Бе Compatibility
# =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
# This script is made strictly for RPG Maker VX Ace. It is highly unlikely that
# it will run with RPG Maker VX without adjusting.

As opposed to needing an actual new script written, I think I just need a hand making some adjustments.  Any help would be EXTREMELY appreciated, as I'm not a coder; just a guy with ideas and the resolve to put them into action.   :)

Why do you wanna use Yanfly's battle engine script exactly? I mean, what features does it have that you need? Why are you using the Visual Battlers script exactly if you are not using normal battle scenes? Anyway, the big problem is that battlers on a map with ABS scripts don't have sprites of their own like that script expects.

 

Also, Falcao's ABS script and other ABS scripts are buggy and barely compatible with anything in my experience. Plus horrible to use and play. I mean really, why do people use Falcao's ABS script? There isn't even pixel movement and your attacks are bound to keyboard keys.
