Falcao Pearl ABS Liquid V3 update

[Falcao 88]

First of all, AWESOME script, very user friendly and versatile, I love it.

 

Just a small problem I noticed, though: the knockback from "Tool Blow Power" seems to apply even if the blow misses and I doubt it was meant to work that way. I know you're getting a lot of requests but in any case a fix for that would be very much appreciated.

 

Fixed for Pearl v3 version

 

Any other bugs you have found let me know before i release the next update

 how about adding combo feature for one target without choosing a target every time? and about passive mobs - you hit them and running away but when you appearing they chasing you again. why not to make mobs to forget about player when player is out of range? and reflect of magic? (ohoho you're asking too much...)

@User_35833 there is no date for the release, im just taking a quick look to the entire code, when i finish i will release it

 

@Ranoke You need to add more detail to your request,

[Erthia 1]

I have one request that would be great to implement. For allies who hold a ranged weapon, it would be great if they stood back from combat a bit while they shoot their ranged based weapons instead of running into the monster as you would going melee with a sword, axe, etc. I looked into the code and I could probably do it myself for my own project, but having a default option which could be setup would be great for others who are not familiar with scripting.

 

Good luck on V3! Great battle system!

@Ranoke You need to add more detail to your request,

I mean:

 

1) when i try to make skill with combo that hits a target a few times (3 or 10 for example) with Tool Target = true i have to choose my target every time in combo and thats pretty annoying. If i'll set it False I think it won't work. Why not to add repeating of skill because repeating in database doesn't works. Example of such skills are Fire/Cold/etc Bolts in Ragnarok Online

 

2) passive mobs - if player running away after hitting them they should forget about player if he out of their sensor range. If mob will see player again he shouldn't chase the player (because he forgot about him)

 

3) default reflect magic doesn't works too. May you add a notetag that could send the magic attacks back to caster? (maybe with chance)

 

How about more smart healing of party with one ally scope? Massive healing seems a little cheating so "healer" should heal that party member who is more damaged. Besides if followers will use all their skills/items/etc they don't seems overpowered, they could seem more smart.. alive?

1) You can try to make a longer animation (i.e., instead of an animation with one lightning bolt, do an animation with 3) and, at the end of the animation, deal 3 times the damage of a single attack, for example.

 

2) I don't think that's a realistic option. An enemy forgetting about you just because you walked away for one fraction of a second can break the dynamics of the game (like a player killing a massive monster just by attacking it once, running away for one second, returning to find it as passive again and repeating the process until it dies). I think it's right how it is right now. Besides, I, personally, like to make NPCs like city guards, that should remember your crimes to attack you every time yo go to their town, until you pay a fine or until you die. Or peasants that run away from you if you hit them... It would be anticlimactic if they just suddenly forgot to keep running away in the middle of a chase.

 

3) If you're thinking about the "can reflect" feature of XAS Hero, that can be cool.

 

 

 

P.S.- I'd request for an "impassable region/area for tools" feature. I don't know if this is possible, but I'd like certain areas/region tiles to be impassable even for tools with the "through" tag, so, for example, an arrow can fly over a river, but i can not fly through a wall.

[Viuys 2]

Right now I am working on a game using "Pearl ABS" and I was wondering is it possible to remake the combo system so that they can work manually?

In the sense: You press the attack button once ("F" for instance) the character attacks once, when you press "F" after pressing it the first time, the character makes a combo.I would be great if the attacks could be seperated between two buttons so that you can combine attacks (within preset combos that is).

Besides, if it was possible to make that the time between presses mattered, that would be amazing (for example in "Devil May Cry" if you wait a small time between attacks you get a diffrent combo).

Is there really no way to make enemies hostile when attacked?

what do you mean? documentation says you should make 3 pages for enemy event controlled by selfswitches

Change it in the configuration of "Item and gold pop up" script. (GoldIcon = x)

I have a VERY important request! I need projectiles to be blocked by walls, but not by other projectiles.. The way it's done right now, is that the projectile can either go through projectiles AND walls, or be blocked by projectiles but not walls..

I think my previous request of a "reflect" function is similar, if not identical, to this request! I have much use for it, and can't wait to cook up as many puzzle uses as I can for it!

Hi, great script! I especially like how easy it is to implement guns.

 

However, I'm also having three minor and one major problem that I'd be really grateful if someone could help me with:

 

First, I want to remove the sound effect that occurs when an actor dies. I know it's "collapse2", but I can't find it in the script, and I tried editing some lines that looked like they were the cause but it didn't work.

 

Second, I want to remove the little numbers that display damage above the actors' and enemies' heads. I tried to do it myself and broke the script... woops.

 

Third, I want to stop the actors and enemies from jumping when hit. Again I tried to do it myself but got nowhere.

 

Fourth, and this is fairly major--after pressing "k" and getting the followers to attack enemies, they will keep attacking until the enemies are defeated, even if the actor you're controlling runs away. So basically the only way to escape a battle (like you can with the standard system) is to go to another map. Would it be possible to make them stop attacking the enemies, once the actor you're controlling is 15 tiles away from them, or something similar? Thanks.

+1

Basically, I requested the same: impassable areas/regions for projectiles.

1) remove Collapse2 from Actor collapse in database

2) check Pearl Sprites line 313 and replace " value.to_s " with " nil " wherever you need. Same with @text = value.to_s

3) try this notetag in Actor/Enemy tag

Hit Jump = false

cant help with fourth

Already stated in the demo; you can press and hold 'K' to cancel the attacking followers.

[Shi-an 39]

I feel so silly about questions 1 and 4. I didn't complete the demo but the information about holding 'K' is in the documentation too.

Answer to question two works great! For question 3 I changed it to "Hit Jump = nil" and it worked! Thanks very much!

 

Also the default popup text appears to be "Scape", you can change it to "Escape" or whatever you want in "Battler Settings" line 204. You can also change how long you have to press 'k' for before the followers stop attacking in "Battler Settings" line 197. Thought that I should give back to the community, not that anyone asked for it.

# Do you want to display graphics instead of script drawing bars?

# if so, fill this actors bars graphics requirements

 

ActorsHp = "" # Actor Hp graphic bar name (inside quotation marks)

ActorsMp = "" # Actor Mp graphic bar name

ActorsExp = "" # Actor Experience, if you dont want it leave it ""

ActorsBack = "" # Background semi-transparent bar

Has anyone fiddled with this script to allow for gamepad functionality? I'm trying to get this system to work with a logitech gamepad, but to no avail. I can't even launch a game from the gamepad interface. Is is just not possible?
