Falcao Pearl ABS Liquid V3 update

[TheYungVxAce 1]

 

Quick question. In the quicktools menu, is there a way to get rid of the top window completely? I tried dabbing into the scripting but the most I could figure out was to move all of the contents from the top window off screen.

 

Specifically speaking, which window are you talking about?

 

 

This one.

How do I order to create this script for me?

I want to use a character when the hero dies. A "character" moving, falling on the floor.

I did the demo someone tested? got bugs?

I made a little patch for that Battle Royale addon so that it can work with my ABS Bugfixes script.

Here it is: http://pastebin.com/pmvmRAka

 

Also, updated the ABS Bugfixes script with some more bugfixes and some compatibility edits for the Battle Royale addon. You will need to update it if you want to use that addon.

 

Note that I did not actually test that addon at all, I just looked what is clashing in Pikakapi's script and mine, and adjusted the methods to support both script at once.

And my Enemy AI module addon for the ABS might need to be updated/patched for this battle royale addon as well to avoid enemies healing other enemies which are sided with the player. That will come later.

I tried using the new Bugfixes script, and for some reason I cannot use any weapons now. :/

[Sixth 113]

You can't use weapons only or you can't use any tools?

If it's the latter, my bugfixes script got an option which lets you enable/disable the tool buttons without the need to hide the ABS HUD, and until you turn on the switch reserved for this feature, you won't be able to use any tools.

 

If it's the first, no idea, it works in the default demo Falcao made, it works in my own projects, and it works in 2 other projects made by other people.

 

I also tested that battle royale addon just now. It works well, I made a battle between slimes, wolfs and forest bees. Kinda epic.

Derp, I forgot to change the script customizations. My bad.

Another quick question regarding the Battle Royale script, I'm running into a bit of an issue with ally events and combat. Essentially, I have an enemy event with the <ally> tag, and they will go after other enemies just fine and dandy. The problem I'm running into is that enemies won't fight the <ally> event, they just ignore it even when it's attacking them. I've tried having the enemy just set up as normal, as well as tried giving the enemy an alignment, but neither had any effect (side note, if you give an event both an alignment tag and an ally tag, the alignment takes priority and ignores the ally tag). Is there any way I could go about fixing this?

[Vis_Mage 84]

Bump

[Dymdez 77]

Maybe the creator who posted a little while ago can help, I havent used it yet, although it looks quite great!!

[Vis_Mage 84]

A bit of an update, I did manage to get things working. 

 

From what I can tell, there seems to be a bit of a bug in the Battle Royale + Bugfixes patch, which causes enemies to ignore (and be unable to damage) other enemies with the <ally> tag. Upon removing the patch, the enemies act as intended, and are able to target/damage ally events.

Where do you even get the battle royale script

Will have to let Sixth know! as both scripts are a bit of a necessity

Is it possible to have normal enemies' HP bar over their head?

[Rinober 11]

Hey, I've got another major issue. It is about ranged attacks.

 

I've made a shooting weapon that shall NOT go through walls etc. because that looks just very incorrect in my game. Now that I set "Tool Through" to false, the weapon does not go through walls anymore, but unfortunately, it doesn't affect enemies anymore, either (only very randomly). The weapon stops at the enemy's position just as if it was a wall. I tested this in the demo as well and it's the same here.

 

There must be a way to get this to work or am I stupid? I want the weapon to stop at walls or obstacles, but NOT at events that are enemies. This is the weapon I made:

 

User Graphic = nil
User Anime Speed = 20
Tool Cooldown = 33
Tool Graphic = $Ring
Tool Index = 0
Tool Size = 1
Tool Distance = 3
Tool Effect Delay = 2
Tool Destroy Delay = 10
Tool Speed = 6
Tool Cast Time = 0
Tool Cast Animation = 0
Tool Blow Power = 0
Tool Piercing = false
Tool Animation When = hit
Tool Animation Repeat = false
Tool Special = nil
Tool Target = false
Tool Invoke Skill = 0
Tool Guard Rate = 0
Tool Knockdown Rate = 0
Tool Sound Se = Gun1
Tool Cooldown Display = false
Tool Item Cost = 0
Tool Short Jump = false
Tool Through = false
Tool Priority = 2
Tool Hit Shake = false
Tool Self Damage = false
Tool Combo Tool = nil

 

I also tested the function "Tool Piercing", but it doesn't affect this issue. I really hope someone can help with this.

@Roiber Yea, ask Sixth -- he wrote a script addressing this I believe.  Since it is not on his Pastebin, I will have to wait for his permission to share.

Oww, sorry for not replying sooner, I completely forgot about it.

 

If I posted any script publicly (no matter where on the internet), and if that script does not state any specific terms of use (like "no re-posting", etc), everyone is free to post it or drop a link to it for anyone.

The little script I made for addressing this issue was posted on this forum somewhere if I remember right. Can't find the topic for it, so here it is again:

 

 

module ToolRestrict
  
  # Add any impassable region IDs for tools here.
  Regions = [40]
  
end

class Game_CharacterBase
  
  alias tool_pass8876 passable?
  def passable?(x, y, d)
    return false if tool_region_forbid?(x, y, d)
    return tool_pass8876(x, y, d)
  end
  
  def tool_region_forbid?(x, y, d)
    return false unless self.is_a?(Projectile)
    region = 0
    case d
    when 1; region = $game_map.region_id(x-1, y+1)
    when 2; region = $game_map.region_id(x+0, y+1)
    when 3; region = $game_map.region_id(x+1, y+1)
    when 4; region = $game_map.region_id(x-1, y+0)
    when 5; region = $game_map.region_id(x+0, y+0)
    when 6; region = $game_map.region_id(x+1, y+0)
    when 7; region = $game_map.region_id(x-1, y-1)
    when 8; region = $game_map.region_id(x+0, y-1)
    when 9; region = $game_map.region_id(x+1, y-1)
    end
    return ToolRestrict::Regions.include?(region)
  end
  
end

 

Just set up the regions you want to use in the script and place those regions on your map everywhere where the tools should NOT go.

 

About that Battle Royale addon...

It has some bugs, well, mainly compatibility issues (mostly with my addons >.>), and the more I fix, the more I notice.

When I get some time to fix them all, I will post the patch for it. No idea when will that happen, kinda busy now. *-*

Is it possible to change the color of the font when a critical hits?

[Vis_Mage 84]

A bit of an odd request, but could someone help me re-create a feature that I used to use with XAS?

 

The feature was pretty simple, if you held down the attack button for a few seconds, an "charged" animation would appear on the player. From there, releasing the attack button would unleash a special attack. (Think similar to the Zelda games, where if you held the attack button, you would charge up, and do a spinning attack)  

[Vis_Mage 84]

Bump.

[Dymdez 77]

Vis, you could do that in a really convoluted way with the base script (common event, checks if button is pressed and certain actor is there with certain weapon, and keeps cycling through tools which run your animation, etc..) but the best way by far is to have a script for it.

[TheYungVxAce 1]

Hey, I'm having an issue with the custom graphic function when using a weapon, skill,armor, etc. The custom graphic appear several pixels higher than the initial graphic (or base graphic. Not sure what to call it). Is there any solution to this? Any help is appreciated.

[Dymdez 77]

Yes, Sixth wrote a script for that, ask him permission to use it!

[Sixth 113]

No need to ask for permission, it is a public script:

http://pastebin.com/GNAnAbAx

 

The issue most probably happens because your sprite frames on the sprite sheet are not positioned to be at the very bottom of each sprite frame.

Because the engine treats all sprite-sheets the same way, that will result in a "floating" character or it will simply look weird in the game.

The script above will let you add custom offset values to your character sprite images, which can eventually fix your issue, I guess.

[TheYungVxAce 1]

It works! Thanks! You're the best!
