How to fix the "Script 'Battle_Camera' line 300: NoMethodError occurred. undefined method '*' for nil:NilClass" error:
This error will most likely occur if you are using Ver. 099 of Tankentai as the Battle Camera script remains separated in that one. At any rate, to fix this error, simply Specify your Battleback. To do this, right click on the map containing the battle and select MAP PROPERTIES, then check the box that says SPECIFY BATTLEBACK and then set it to your desired battleback. Do this for every map that contains a battle.

If you are using Ver. 100, the error may look like this:

Script Sideview line 3452: NoMethodError occured undefined method * for nil:Nilclass:
If this is the case, don't worry, the fix is still the same! So get to specifying those Battlebacks!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


How to fix the "Script 'Sideview' line 1517: NoMethodError occured undefined method 'frame_max' for nil:NilClass" error:
This error occurs when you have not properly copied and pasted the animations.rvdata2 file from Tankentai's Data folder into YOUR PROJECT's Data folder. If you are using Ver. 100 of Tankentai for Ace, this method will not work. Instead, you need to use Ver. 099's animations.rvdata2 file. Here is a link to where you can download only this file for use in solving this error:

But I COPIED and REPLACED the file in my own project and I still receive this error every time someone uses magic or a skill! What do I do?

What happened to my battle transitions? Why does it just cut to a battle instead of fading and such?
There are two solutions to this:

A) Eliminate the last script out of the Tankentai for Ace line-up (only recommended if you are using Ver. 099) or

Remove this section from the テストプレイ高速化 script or the last script of the Tankentai Engine:

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# ◠戦闘å‰ãƒˆãƒ©ãƒ³ã‚¸ã‚·ãƒ§ãƒ³å®Ÿè¡Œ
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
def perform_battle_transition
Graphics.transition(2, "Graphics/System/BattleStart", 100)
Graphics.freeze
end

Once it is removed, your battle transitions should be back to normal. Credit to: Miltix for this fix.

Edited January 18, 2013 by The Passive Lion

[VenomTDA 36]

I want to start by thanking Enu, for the script, The Passive Lion for the tutorial and rmxpfan for the pictures and information about how to add new things to tankentai.

 

It has been brought to my atention that people have a hard time folowing this, and now, after i looked trough it a little, i can see that it is somewhat a mess. I edited this post in hopes that this way it can be more easy to understand ( that, and the fact that i wanted to remove some things that were no longer necesary ).

Like usual, first i'll go over the gun adding thing. I will place most of the stuff in spoilers.

 

Adding guns :

 

The first modifications take place in the script SideViewアクション設定 Ver100 ( don't mind the version, it works with any other ).

First Step

 

 

 

In here you need to copy this line:

"GunPoint" => ["motion", "", 1, 0, 1, 2, 200,false, true, "GunShow"],

 

Forget about the GunShot line, it is not used anymore, therefore you don't need it.

This, in combination with the next step, will let you use icons for guns in battle.

 

 

 

Second Step

 

 

 

In here copy this:

"GunShow" => ["wp", 0,[ 6, 0],[ -4,-10], -45, 25, 4, false, [1,1], false, false, -1, "", ""],

 

This line creates the weapons used in battle from the icon set. This make is so that the weapon that you have equiped, shows in battle.

If you look closely you will see that this is just a copy of the first line seen here wich is the "right hand draw weapon"( or something like that in google translator) and with a modification to the number 25. With that number you can change the placement of the weapon in battle, make it point the sky, or backwords( just experiment). You can change it, i just like how the 25 looks.

 

Next, you see the Gun line. Forget about it, it is not used anymore, therefore was deleted from this post.

 

A little down is the Bullet line:

"Bullet" => ["wp", 0,[ 0, 0],[ 0, 0], 0, 60, 0, false, [1,1], true, false,[2,6,false], "", "Bullet"],

 

Copy that in there. Also, you will need a bullet graphics for this to work. Place it in the Graphics\Characters folder. You can change the name of the file, as long as you change the name in the script to ( the last part of the Bullet line "Bullet" , just make sure you have the same name as the graphics ).

Here is the graphics:

Also, the 60 part from the line, handles the axys of the bullet, you can play with it and see if you find something that you like ( if you want to change the way i use it ).

 

 

 

Third Step

 

 

 

In here copy this:

"BullerWT" => ["m_a",[ 0,-1], 0, 1, [ 0, 0], [ 0, 0], 10, 2, [0,0], true, [ true, true], true, true, true, false, false, "Bullet"],

 

This is the allready modified version with the [-3,-3] changed to [0,0] so the bullet will not fly like an arrow .

If you want to know what i changed, just look at the first line, and see the diference.

Also, i know bullet is misspeled, don't worry, it still works. If you do want to change it, make sure you change it anywhere else where you use it.

 

 

 

Fourth Step

 

 

 

In here copy this:

"Gun1" => ["sound", "se", 100, 80, "Gun1"],

 

This is the sound of the gun ( when fired, not when hitting enemies ). You can place any sound by changing the "Gun1" with the name of the sound that you want, and some customization just like in the database sounds.

 

 

 

Fifth Step

 

 

 

Now, this is the action sequence that performs all the magic. This here uses all the lines made before, and some of the lines made by Enu, to show the Gun animation. Copy this:

"Gun" => ["一歩å‰ç§»å‹•","コラプスç¦æ­¢","個別開始","Gun1","GunPoint",

"BullerWT","個別終了","コラプスç¦æ­¢è§£é™¤","座標リセット"],

 

Now, before you celebrate, there is one more step before the gun can actually work.

 

 

 

The last modification takes place in this script SideViewãƒãƒˆãƒ©ãƒ¼è¨­å®š Ver100 ( again, ignore the version number ).

 

Final Step

 

 

 

In here copy this:

when 10

return "Gun"

 

Then go down a little:

 

And copy this:

when 10 # 武器タイプ6番ã®ç”»åƒãƒ•ã‚¡ã‚¤ãƒ«å

return "gun01"

 

That's it. Now you should have a working gun animation. Also, this dose not work with dual wield. You can however place the gun to shoot twice in the database and give it a dual wield look if you want.

Also, be careful when copying the lines. Even a missing symbol can cause errors.

 

Here is a picture to show that it works:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Adding Skills :

 

Now i will show you how to make a skill based on the ones Enu created. This is for begginers, but if you can understand this, you will be able to create your own lines and make your own unique skills. Take this as a starting point for creating your own unique skills. As you are making this try and understand what each of those lines do, and why. Use a translator ( google ) to understand better ( i know it's a bad translation, but it helps ).

 

First Step :

 

 

 

Again this picture, but this time we are dealing with the Thunder line.

Copy this:

"Thunder" => ["m_a",[66,66], 0, 1, [ 0, 0], [ 0, 0], 10, 0, [ 0, 0], true, [ true, true], true, true, true, true, false, ""],

 

This actually is a copy of the Aqua Gun animation made by Enu. The [66,66] part is where you can set the animation ( database numbers ). The first 66 is the animation that plays from the player towards the target, the second 66 is the animation that plays on target if hit. You can place the second one to 0 to have no animation on target, or to something diferent ( example: have a fireball in the first slot that heads towards the target, and an explosion to second, when the fireball reaches the target ). There is a little lag if you are using two different animations ( or maybe just my crapy pc ), but it's not much.

There are quite a few configuratiions here, like the speed of the projectile, the trajectory, if it acts like a piercing projectile. Just experiment with different settings.

 

 

 

Step Two :

 

 

 

This is a copy of the Water Gun skill with a modification:

"Thunder Ball" => ["特技発動","武器振りR","Thunder","座標リセット"],

 

Right now you have a new skill, but you also need to set it in the second script so you can actually use it.

 

 

 

Third Step :

 

 

Go to the second script again:

 

Here you need to add this( the number 185 can be changed, this just represents the skill that is replaced in the database with the animation of the skill you created, i bet all of you were wondering at some point why some skill slots always used some animation even if you asigned another, well, here is the reason):

when 185

return "Thunder Ball"

 

Now go to database and make that skill, dose'nt matter what animation you have for it in the database, it will be replaced by the one you created. Basicaly this line sends the script back to an existing animation in the script every time the number 185( my skill number) in skill databes is used. Now all it's left for you to do is try the new skill and see if you like it, if you don't go and see what i changed and change some more.

Many of the pre-existing skill made by Enu can be modified, you just need to know what to do and what to change, but please, dont modify the originals, make a new copy of that skill and change it, that way you may always look and see what you are doing wrong.

 

 

 

Extra :

 

 

The animations that you saw in pictures above this one are made from the rmxpfan pictures, and basicaly just ads the normal atack animation off the bow to those skill along with the Skill activate effect( these may not be perfectly changed, but it's a start.

 

Here is something to get you started:

The skill number in the database for Armour Break is 106, so add this to the list:

when 106

return "Armour Break"

just like you did with the Thunder Ball.

Then go to the skills section and add this:

"Armour Break" => ["一歩å‰ç§»å‹•","コラプスç¦æ­¢","特技発動","個別開始","Bow1","弓撃ã¡",

"矢発射WT","個別終了","コラプスç¦æ­¢è§£é™¤","座標リセット"],

And that's all, now you should test it.

As for the 3 Hits skill, all i did was tell the skill to hit 3 times instead of 5 as it's original( you can do much more this way, just use your imagination ).

 

 

 

 

And that's all i know right now, hope it helps those of you who use Tankentai.

VentomTDA,

 

Thank you so much for your help and contribution. I have been confused for ages since posting this and you have done an excellent job in finding this out and posting it to help the community. Don't feel bad about posting this here without my permission because honestly, you don't need it. Anything that furthers the community in this way is perfectly fine to post here.

 

However, what I need to ask permission for is this: could I perhaps make my next video tutorial about your post here? Of course I will give you proper full credit and reference and links back to this post and your contribution.

 

Again, thank you so much! Keep on game making!

 

-Passive Lion

[VenomTDA 36]

It's me again. I played around with the script a little and i was thinking to share the things i found with the community. To honest it's not such a big discovery, it's more a quick tutorial on how to use and create 2 moves from the script. Those are the transformation( in wolf by default in the script) and the combo system( one attack plus the weapon trow by default).

 

Let's start with the transformation. I'm a big fan of the Fairy Tail anime( and a very big fan of Erza Scarlet ), so i had this in mind when i started testing the transformation skill.

First scroll down to line 483( in my script), here is the picture:

There are 2 lines in here, the first one is the wolf transformation line, the one used by the skill to transform in wolf.

The second is this one:

"Transform" => ["change", false, 0, "Actor4", [0, "Actor4"]],

Now, you can just change the first one and do your transformation how you like it, but, i like using new ones. This way i can see the original settings and if something goes wrong with the script i can always delete the lines i added and just undo the damage.

This line here is used to change the graphics of an actor with another( or as the script states it with a battler if you want to, i have not tested this ). "Change" has to be present in every line, the "false" is there to prevent the transformation from staying after battle, 0 and "Actor 4" tells the line where to look for the sprite( Actor 4 has 8 sprites so 0 is the first one and 7 the last one), the next 0 and "Actor 4" represents the actors face( this is optional, if you want to keep the face of your actor just place that in there ex: my actor is named Venom and so is faceset so i place 0 and Venom).

Now you just created the transformation, but alone it does nothing. Now scroll down to the skills section( around 900 for me) and add this:

"Super" => ["特技発動","anime(110,false)","Transform","Common 2","待機固定","120","座標リセット"],

This is the new transformation skill that we created. Note that you can make some changes in here as well( it's a little diferent from the original transformation skill, i know, but i'll explain it in a moment).

"特技発動" - this is the activate skill animation, if you like you should use this in every animation you make.

"anime(110,false)"- this is the animation played for the skill, it's exactly number 110 animation from the database. Not exactly sure what false does(so i left it like the original)

"Transform"- is the line that we created before, basically now the skill will transform the player in wath you have chosen

"Common 2"- is a call for a common event, this does not need to be here if you don't want it, but i'll explain a later what it does and why is here.

"待機固定"- Now this means something like stand still

"120"- this i think it represents a number of frames. I think that this has to be here after a command like stand still( i need to experiment and see) to actually play the animation.

"座標リセット"- It means something like reset, or go back to starting position, you need to have this in a skill so you don't actually find yourself standing in the middle of the screen after your actor executes a comand( but there are some exceptions where you will not want this as seen later).

Now that you have all this, you need to add the skill to the list, if you don't remeber how, you need to go on the second script to line 330 or so and add something like this:

when 191

return "Super"

191- is the skill number in the database( you don't need to use this one, this is how manny skills i have so i don't have a choice)

"Super"- is the name of the skill from before, just make sure it matches the name of the skill you make if you used your own name.

Right now we have a skill that transforms your actor in actor 4, while it's nice, and you should test this out, it's really not that big deal.

This skill has a flaw, or i don't know how to set it up the right way, if you want to add any effect in the database to take effect with the skill activation, you can, but they will never activate. I don't know why but dose'nt matter what effects you add, states or skills they will never activate. All this does is transform you in another actor.

So, i've been looking a way to solve this, as i said i'm big Fairy Tail fan, i want my characters when they transform to become diferent in looks but in skill and maybe status to.

I found that this script let's you call a common event( i think most off them let you do this, i don't know as is my first time using a common event) so i created a new one and added it to the skill.

Let's create a common event, go to line 690 in the first script :

And add this as a second line:

"Common 2" => ["common", 2, true],

The first line coresponds to the first common event and does nothing right now, it's just for show, but i left her there and made my own.

"Common 2"- represents the name of the common event, you need this to be placed in a skill to take effect( look up to see how).

"common"- I'm guessing that this represents the type of event, i don't know if it suports global or another type.

2- the number off the common event used from the database

true- the translator says it's looking for the action of that common event and aplies the effect if true

Now go to the database and make a state, that does exactly what you would like to do the transformation( ex: adds fire damage, gain some skills, seal some skills, increase max hp or anything you can think, then set the state to last untill the battle ends) just a small note, do not make any of this available in the common event himself, if you do that those skills will stay with you after the battle, but if you use a state, it will just remove at the battle end.

Go to Common event 2( or what number you used) and place that state to the player that has the transformation( it's true that this metod limits the transformation skill to one actor and if you want them all to have a transformation skill you need to create 4 transformation skills and 4 states, but let's face it, chances are you don't want the same transformation for all of them anyway), (ex: Venom add state Super).

Leave the trigger to none and name it how ever you want.

One more thing. If you followed the tutorial on how to instal tankentai then you don't need to worry about this. If you remember at some point in the tutorial you had to change a line in the script, it was giving an error if your actors died and you did not had the graphics for the dead state, but if you decided to keep that and make yourself a dead state for it to use, you need to do th same with the transformations, otherwise you will get the same error.

 

About the combos system, it's very nice and you can do all sorts of things with it, but can be easily broken by not placing the right command where it needs to be.

For this one you need to create 2 actions like here:

And the actions are:

"Combo" => ["Jump","多段攻撃ã«æ´¾ç”Ÿ","コラプスç¦æ­¢","5回攻撃","コラプスç¦æ­¢è§£é™¤"],

 

"Jump" => ["特技発動","Bow1","一歩å‰ã‚¸ãƒ£ãƒ³ãƒ—","å©ã付ã‘å‰ã‚¸ãƒ£ãƒ³ãƒ—",

"待機固定","å·¦1回転","10","anime(117,false)","å©ã付ã‘",

"対象アニメ","シェイク中","強制","縦æºã‚Œ","20",

"一歩後ジャンプ"],

 

After this go to script 2 and add the skill combo to the list so it will return here. You don't need to add Jump to the list( and it's better if you don't, the skill by himself is actually broken, it was made for the combo only).

 

The Jump action is actually a copy of the original with one word less. I removed the "座標リセット" from it wich tells the actor to go back to it's original position after the move is done.

This combo is formed from the skills Jump, and "5回攻撃", so, it first jumps to the enemy, slams down dealing damage and( it it was the original jump the "座標リセット"would have told him to return to original position and play the next skill, but i wanted to stay there and perform the skill from that position, that's why i removed that line) after that performing the 5 slashes from the "5回攻撃" skill and only after both returning to the original position.

 

By copying these you can use the skill, and if you used it you know that some of those moves don't exactly look so great, but keep in mind that this was made with actions created to be used alone, so they don't work so great if you chain them. For this to look nice you need to create your actions in a way that they can have a flow of a combo. Right now let's use this and see how is done.

 

The first one is "Jump", that calls all the commands in the "Jump" action and executes them.

"多段攻撃ã«æ´¾ç”Ÿ"- this one is a little tricky, you have to place this between the 2 actions that you want to chain. If you have 3 actions in a combo you need to have 2 of these.

"コラプスç¦æ­¢"- this does not have to be here if you are using 1 hit chain actions, but if you are using an action with multiple hits, you need to place this before the action. This does not let your target to die until the action is over. If this would not be here the script would play the action and if your target dies from 1 hit or second or so on, the action would continue even if you have no target, and it looks bad.

"5回攻撃"- This is the original comand of the 5 hit action made by Enu

"コラプスç¦æ­¢è§£é™¤"- this does not have to be here, but if u used the "コラプスç¦æ­¢" wich makes the target imortal, you need to have this a the end of the multi hit action.

Keep in mind that you should have the last action made with return to original position command "座標リセット" so that you don't find yourself left in the middle of the screen.

That's about it, i covered almost all skills, the ones left are those with movies and cut-ins that i will not do, i'm not a fan of those.

So unless someone has some errors or questions this is the end of this for now.

I hope i could help you all and see you later.

I keep getting a error on VenomTDA gun Script on Tankentai 1 line 136 it says unexpect tString _BEG, expecting '}' please help

[VenomTDA 36]

First, it's not my script, it's Enu's.

That line must be from the "GunPoint" if our scripts match in line. I think that you forgot to add something to a line, a symbol or somthing.

The upper line is the "GunShot" line. I tried to replicate your error, and i only got this error when i removed the , from this line.

Go to the "GunShot" line and add , at the end, or here it is if you want to copy it:

"GunShot" => ["motion", "", 1, 0, 1, 2, 200,false, true, "Gun"],

Tell me if it's solved or not. try to be carefull, any missing symboll can cause errors.

[Miltix 4]

So I made a custom skill that makes the actor go towards the enemy and play a certain animation. The animation works but the damage won't appear. So I'm forced to use the "attack" shortcut thingy but I don't want the animations that comes with it. Please help. This thing is actually easier than Victor's IMO. And it has a camera add-on.

 

Here's the code so you'll understand it better:

"Ice" => ["特技発動","コラプスç¦æ­¢","弓除外","敵å‰ç§»å‹•","anime(61,false)","攻撃","コラプスç¦æ­¢è§£é™¤","座標リセット"],

Yes, i had that problem a long time ago. The solution is realy simple to be honest. I can't post any pictures anymore so you will have to make this yourself by doing what i say.

 

There is a part in the first tankentai script like this( around line 270 for me, but i bet it's diferent then yours) :

"対象アニメ武器" => ["anime", -1, 1, false, false, true, true, false, false, true],

"対象アニメ武器WT" => ["anime", -1, 1, false, true, true, true, false, false, true],

"対象アニメ武器LWT" => ["anime", -2, 1, false, true, true, true, false, false, true],

"対象アニメ" => ["anime", -3, 1, false, false, true, true, false, false, true],

"対象アニメWT" => ["anime", -3, 1, false, true, true, true, false, false, true],

"Damage" => ["anime", 0, 1, false, false, true, true, false, false, true],

 

The last line, named "Damage" is made by me. This actually plays an animation( that you will not see) on target and inserts damage, so you can use it with any skill you create, just use this after an animation.

 

So the first step is simple, just copy that line in the right spot.

 

Your skill as far as i can understand is simply move to target, use ice, damage, return to normal.

 

I think you used a few comands that you don't realy need, so i tried change it to something more easy.

 

You used the prohibit colapse, because you did not wanted to wait for the animation, so you can have the slash from the normal atack. Now you don't need that, so you can change the animation to wait, and after the animation the damage takes place.

 

Here is my version of your skill, i hope this helps:

 

"Ice" => ["特技発動","敵å‰ç§»å‹•","武器振りR","anime(61,true)","Damage","座標リセット"],

 

I also used "武器振りR" before the animation, i basicaly let's you see the weapon before the animation starts.

 

Now, with that "damage" thing you can do a lot of things, like a multi hitting tornado, or a multi hit fire pillar, or something, but it's a little harder.

 

First your animation would have to have more frames and look something like this:

 

"Ice" => ["特技発動","敵å‰ç§»å‹•","コラプスç¦æ­¢","anime(62,false)","待機固定WT","武器振りR","4","Damage",

 

"待機固定WT","武器振りR","10","Damage","待機固定WT","20","コラプスç¦æ­¢è§£é™¤","座標リセット"],

 

 

I used ice 2 animation for this one, not the best but hey, it's a test only.

 

The first thing you notice is that i place the animation wait time to false, i did that so we can play the damage animations in the proces of that animation. If you set an animation to false you need to place fixed wait("待機固定WT") after it, if you do not, it will wait untill all the comands after the animation are complete and the return to original even if the animation still has frames to play, and yes, you need to place this before each of the damage comands and after the last one( unless the last one is exactly at the final moment of the animation).

 

The "number here" represent the number of frames to wait( it's funny ut in this case this works diferent, it is actualy the number of the frame in the animation that plays, so if you set "4" and "10", like i did, it will actually have a damage popup in the frame 4 and 10 of the animation( i might be wrong, but keep in mind this is still in tests, i can't say for sure that it will work so perfect), and at the end i place "20" beacuse the animation has 20 frames.

 

The "武器振りR" is optional and you must place it after the animation, but to be honest it looks funny, and you might not want to use it at all for multi hitting unless, you use it after each hit and there is a duration of 5-6 frames after each damage, it's your choice.

If you are using multi hit animations remember to use no colapse("コラプスç¦æ­¢") and activate colapse("コラプスç¦æ­¢è§£é™¤") like you did in your original skill. If you don't use these, your enemie might die from the first hit( if you are way to strong) but the animation continues, and looks strange. One more thing, don't use multi hitting with someone that has kill on items or from traits(like my assassin, but i had to remove it), it will kill any target in first hit because he's kill trait negates the no colapse on enemies, sorry but i don't know a way around it.

 

Please let me know if it works, i might have forgotten something as i'm in a hurry now and don't have much time, sorry for this, but if it dose'nt work i'll fix it when i get home.

[Miltix 4]

GENIUS! Thanks alot!

 

Oh, by the way, do people need to use Applocale to play my game if I use Tankentai?

Edited July 13, 2012 by Miltix

[VenomTDA 36]

I'm glad i could help.

I don't know what Applocale is, but i do know that if you compress your game data, and you include RTP resources they don't need anything to play it, exept a copy of your game of course .

Tankentai is not diferent from other scripts, it's just in japanesse.

[Miltix 4]

AppLocale is a program that lets people not using a Japanese System Locale run programs that need it. And how do I make battle transitions appear?

[VenomTDA 36]

I have no i deea about battle transitions, there might be in the script an option somewhere, but i never searched for it and if there is

none, then just use another script, it must be one in the complete script section.

[Paxtrio 0]

Sorry I haven't gotten back to you for a while no the new gunshot line you gave me earlier in June didn't work every time I try to put something different in just to experiment it keeps saying there is a problem with line 136 or some different line that it doesn't usually mention.

[VenomTDA 36]

Sorry to hear about that, but i don't think it's a problem from the script. Try and install it again on a new project, with no other scripts installed and folowing all the steps again, i know it's a pain, but sometimes this solves most of the problems. If it still dose not work post back and i'll se if i can find something about it.

[Arctic Fox 18]

Just thought I should share this with the new info.

Thanks to Vemon, I've figured out how to equip a weapon to a charset.

 

 

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
 # ◠エãƒãƒŸãƒ¼å³æ‰‹æ­¦å™¨ エãƒãƒŸãƒ¼ã«ã‚‚装備武器をID指定ã—ã¾ã™

  return 10 # 武器IDを指定。0番ã¯ç´ æ‰‹æ‰±ã„ã§ã™
when -36
  return 65
else
  return 0
end
 end
 #---------

 

ok, find this line under your second sideview script

It's around line 227.

All you do is put in the case id for you enemy charset

mines -36 (all enemies are negs)

then go under and type return x

x is the number the weapon is, in your weapon database .

and viola. Enemy charsets with weapons.

 

 

Also I got two things, I'm working on right now. One is getting this compatible with yanfly battle engine, and the other is the atb. So what I want is to turn off tanketai's damage popup (which i know how to do) however, I get a double attack animation when i do a normal attack or cast magic, everything is double. I also want to use the critical flash script with this cause it's much cooler. But Tankentai overrides it. Also For some reason the atb fills for my main character and makes the game loop. (I can only attack over and over as the main character, the enemy doesn't even attack) Any help will be appreciated

Nice Arctic Fox, i'm sure someone might need that information. I had the yanfly battle engine at first ( i used victor's animated battlers before tankentai, so i used yanfly with it ) and if i remember corectly i removed the double animations with the <one animation> tag from yanfly script( i placed it in every skill that i had ) , then again i can't quite remember, you will have to try this and see. The damage pop up can be removed easily just how you said, the critical flash skill, i don't know, i never used it, so i can't help you there, Now, for the ATB part, i also wanted ATB in my game, but back then i never got it to work with tankentai, maybe i'll try to look in to it in the morning ( i hope i have learned something by now that will help me understand that script better ) , now is late and i need to catch some Zzzzz , but you might find out something before me so keep up the good work and feel free to share with us any useful info.

Thanks,. Yeah, It looks pretty spiffy. I'll look into this. I've not been able to get atb to work with Victor's animated battlers to work either. I'll try some things to add the critical flash to it. I've learn more things this week than 1 month at college. lol. It's 6:24 pm here, I still got some time, so I'll check it out and see what I can do. If i find a solution, I'll repost it

You guys are awesome! I love seeing the community alive and working together. Keep up the awesome work.

[Miltix 4]

How do I make the Gun's attack faster? It seems too slow with the bullet speed and pause then return after the damage thing.

 

Can I change the speed of the character going towards the enemy?

 

How do I make my character run past the enemy like one of those samurai slashes?

 

Can I animate the enemies?

 

Can I have more than four party members?

Edited July 31, 2012 by Miltix

[VenomTDA 36]

I don't really know what you want from the gun, you want the bullet to move faster, you want it never to show, just the animation of the bullet hitting target, or just to speed up things in the animation, you will have to be more precise.

 

Yes you can, go to line 170 in the first script ( or around there, might be different for you ), and google translate, you will find all the move settings and more. To change the speed all you need to do is change a simple setting, here is an exemple :

 

"敵å‰ç§»å‹•" => ["move", 1, 30, 0, 0,-20, 0, [ 0, 0], "å·¦å‘ã移動"],

 

This line translates ( by google ) in move in the presence of the enemy, to change the speed of a character moving all you need to change is the -20 thing,

You can do something like this :

 

"敵å‰ç§»å‹•" => ["move", 1, 30, 0, 0, 20, 0, [ 0, 0], "å·¦å‘ã移動"],

 

or experiment and find the one that you want ( try and change these on a separate project, you will change all the move settings if you change here, except the ones custom made by you as you will see later ).

 

What you want is a custom skill. I managed to make one, but keep in mind i used the animation of a normal slash and it dose not look so good, you will use your own and it will look much better. You should go here ( wich is the same place where i sent you before to change the move animation speed ):

 

#――ｱｸｼｮï¾å(目標系)―― 判別 目標 X軸 Y軸 H軸 速度 ｶｰﾌﾞ ｼﾞｬï¾ï¾Œï¾Ÿ ｱﾆﾒ

"敵å‰ç§»å‹•" => ["move", 1, 30, 0, 0,-20, 0, [ 0, 0], "å·¦å‘ã移動"],

"敵後移動" => ["move", 1, -60, 0, 0,-20, 0, [ 0, 0], "å·¦å‘ã移動"],

"敵中移動早" => ["move", 1, 0, 0, 0,-10, 0, [ 0, 0], "å·¦å‘ã移動"],

"å©ã付ã‘å‰ã‚¸ãƒ£ãƒ³ãƒ—" => ["move",-1, 0, 0, 100,-20, 0, [ 40,-20], "武器掲ã’"],

"å©ã付ã‘" => ["move",-1, 0, 0, 0,-10, 0, [ 0, 0], "武器振りR"],

"MoveInFront" => ["move", 1, 40, -20, 0,-20, 0, [ 0, 0], "å·¦å‘ã移動"],

"MoveInBack" => ["move", 1, -80, -20, 0, 20, 0, [ 0, 0], "å·¦å‘ã移動"],

 

The last lines where made by me. These are move commands that i used for the skill, copy them to your script ( after you see the skill in action you can mess around with them, with the animation speed or whatever, but for now leave them like so ).

 

Now, i'm assuming that you know how to make custom skills ( if you don't, just look up and read some posts ) so i'm just going to give you the line for the skill, just place it after all the other custom skill and remember to set it to the second skill so you can have it in the database, so here is the line:

 

"Samurai Cut" => ["特技発動","MoveInFront","anime(7,false)",

"武器振りR","4","MoveInBack","武器振りR","6","Damage","座標リセット"],

 

I tried to keep it as simple as possible, move to enemy, play animation ( here is the part where you will need to change, make a custom animation in the database, i think it will also look better if you leave the first 2 or 3 frames free so the character can have time to move on the other side, but that can change based on what animation you create, after you do that just change the "7" with the number of your animation from the database, leave the "false", it needs to be there for the move to function the right way ), show weapon before the start of movement, the movement, and show weapon again to leave the impression of a samurai slash, then return back to normal position.

I hope based on this you can make your own.

 

For the animated battlers part, it has been solved, you can look here:

http://www.rpgmakervxace.net/topic/5607-jet-animated-battlers-sbs-tankentai-error/

 

Outside of battle you can have more then 4 party members, you can change them with formation to have them apear in battles, in battle however, i don't know if you can have more then 4, i've never seen someone until now with more so i'm guessing you can't, but don't take my word for it, maybe someone knows more.

[Arctic Fox 18]

 

There is a tiny problem with the charsets . When the charset reaches a low hp it has a small error that makes it flip backwards. I'm going to work on a fix. It will be a very complicated fix. That will probably require you to edit the charset sheet in the end. Anyway. I'll let you know if there is another way, cause I think I found what may be causing this .

 

Well I fixed it with the first method. Just use character maker 1999 and copy the 2nd row of the sprite sheet and past it on the 3rd row. Works fine now

Edited July 31, 2012 by Arctic Fox

[VenomTDA 36]

I'm sorry for this, but i have no ideea to what you are saying, it's about the yanfly script, or something that i posted and you found an error and a fix for it?

[Arctic Fox 18]

I'm sorry for this, but i have no ideea to what you are saying, it's about the yanfly script, or something that i posted and you found an error and a fix for it?

 

Sorry should have been more specific. Remember the Tankentai + jet animated battlers thread? Well I did some more testing with using charasets as enemies in tankentai. There is a small error. You know the animation the character displays as it has low hp? Well the enemy charaset does the same think and after it attacks in this condition, the enemy charaset is flipped backwards. You're fighting an enemy with it's back toward you. In order to fix this you need to edit the third line of the charaset to make it the same as the second. I used character maker :3.

I hope this clears up what I did lol.

[VenomTDA 36]

Now i understand. Yes, you can do that, and by the fact that the enemy uses just left and right in battle i don't think you will have any problems. As to why dose this happens, i have no ideea, but i did find something in the second script.

 

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

# ◠ピンãƒå¾…æ©Ÿ HPãŒ1/4以下ã®çŠ¶æ…‹ã§è¡Œã†å¾…機アクション

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

def pinch

return "ピンãƒå¾…æ©Ÿ" if id > 0 # 全アクター

return "ピンãƒå¾…æ©Ÿ" if id < 0

end

 

It's around line 50 or so, this sets the low hp animation on characters. I added the second line, and as you can see is for enemies, but i have no ideea if it will cause problems or not ( i'm saying this because it dose not let me set it individual for each enemy, it just uses all, so who knows what other problems may cause ), but it will fix that and i think that you can actually set something else here to, like wait command or something.

[Miltix 4]

Whoa, thanks! Oh and I fixed the problem with the bullet speed now with a little tinkering.
