Ammunition System - ver1.1.7 by Unconnected42 Latest updates - 2016-12-11 : ver1.1.7 : fixed a bug that make the game crash in some menus when an actor had no weapon equipped. - 2016-11-16 : ver1.1.6 : makes ammunition display for normal attack. - 2016-11-15 : ver1.1.5 : fixes the incompatibility with Yanfly's Weapon Unleash. - 2016-06-11 : ver1.1.4 : fixes the incompatibility with Yanfly's ItemCore ver. 1.24. - 2016-02-17 : ver1.1.3 : (supposedly?) corrected a bug that causes crashes when enemy attacks for some persons. - 2015-12-15 : ver1.1.2 : yet another bug correction. - 2015-12-15 : ver1.1.1 : corrected a bug that caused zero cost equip ammunition to be unequippable. - 2015-12-09 : ver1.1.0 : charged ammunition can now 'create' an 'empty' item when their charge number is reduced to zero. Also, charged ammunition will show their remaining charges in equip windows. - 2015-11-29 : ver1.0.0 : added charged ammunition feature. Fixed a (generally silent) bug that could make skills availables even in case of unsufficient ammunition in some rare cases. - 2015-11-26 : ver0.4.4 : fixed an issue that caused equip-type ammo to be equippable when it should not in some situations. - 2015-11-24 : ver0.4.3b : fixed an issue that caused ammo not to be consumed in some situations when using older versions of Yanfly's ATB. - 2015-11-21 : ver0.4.3 - the previous changes made actually break the ammo cost implementation when ammo are NOT independent items, causing the ammo to be simply unequipped... Corrected now. - 2015-11-20 : ver0.4.2 - correction of the 'reload skills' feature so that indicating the correct equip slot for equip ammunition is no more necessary. Slight modification of how the cost of equip ammunition is managed internally, so that it works more logically when independent ammo with variance is used. - 2015-11-15 : ver0.4.1 - corrected a bug causing a crash during battle when no weapon is equipped and the ammo amount is displayed next to attack command. Also corrected a bug that could make the displayed cost in attack command incorrect. - 2015-11-15 : * ver0.4.0: added compact cost display, game switch dependency, and weapon-type ammunition (for now, it is strongly recommended to use it only for weapons using themselves as ammo, such as throwing knives). * added extension Crafting System. Introduction This script allow to define costs in terms of gold, items or equipments (that is, armors or weapons) for skills or weapons use. It can be used for a variety of purposes : spells requiring special components in order to be cast, making items only usable by certain actors through the use of specific skills, having guns or bows needing bullets and arrows, throwing knives... Features - the cost is added to any existing cost (MP, TP...) - if the equipped weapon has a cost in items/equips, this cost will be applied each time the normal attack is used. - if a skill/weapon has a cost for several items, each cost must be paid each time the skill/weapon is used. - if a skill/weapon has a cost for several equipments, only the equipped ammunition will be consumed when the skill/weapon is used. Additionally in that case, if no ammunition is equipped, the skill/weapon cannot be used. - skills can be used to change armour-type ammunition during battle. - equip-type ammunition (armor/weapon) can possess charges (a number of limited uses), in which case the ammo charges are reduced at each use, instead of the ammo being consumed. When the charges number hits zero, the ammo is unequipped and 'disappears'. Screenshots Spoiler Spoiler How to Use, & Compatibility issues My lazyness made me simply copy/paste the plug-in's help below : Spoiler Spoiler ============================================ Introduction ============================================ This plug-in will allow skills or weapons to require the consumption of ammunition, components, etc. in order to work. The cost is paid each time the skill is used, together with MP/TP costs, or each time the normal attack is used in the case of weapons. The ammunition can be either gold, items or equipments (armours, weapons), or a mix. However, things work differently depending on what type of cost is considered. - items : if several types of items are marked as required as ammunition for a given skill/weapon, *ALL* of the corresponding prices must be paid each time the skill/weapon is used. - equipment : the equipment needs to be equipped in order for the skill/weapon to work. If several types of equipments are marked as required as ammunition for a given skill/weapon, *ONLY* the cost of the one that is *CURRENTLY EQUIPPED* will be paid. That means a weapon/skill can be able to use different interchangeable ammunition types. - Gold cost is straightforward in how it functions. You can also define skills which can change the type of ammunition equipped even during combat, in the case of armour-type ammunition. Then, your hero can use an action to change his/her ammunition type ! ===…

Well i guess that everybody or at least a lot of persons use things like that (not only rpg maker, but also other programs like Word, Windows and games). So they didn't should complains about this if they do the same, (i don't know you my dear Starbound, if you are saying, implies that you do the right and don't uses that kind of thing)

But i known about that problem. The major problem of uses this is that you can't complain whit the company if you computer gets damaged. SO it is my own risk of use.

Also i am not divulging/posting illegal/pirated material, i known that this will causes problems to me in that forum.

Also, this isn't even the topic main subject, but thanks for the worry.

Hi, Unconnected42
I reaffirmed this topic to look at your e-mail. My game file is the link above. Not still problems can be solved. When ON the Yep-Weapon Unleash, "attack [5]" it will no longer be displayed.
Thank you and you are me to come back after a long time

@pikotan

Thank you for the link, but I think it points to the dropbox hompage that you must use when you connect and not to the file you want to show me. Please provide me the link to the real file !

I'm having an issue with Weapon Unleash, as well. When I replace the regular attack skill with another skill, the ammunition tag doesn't work. It works fine if I assign the skills normally.

I could probably use that BattleCommandList plugin you made your plugin compatible with, but I really like the Weapon Unleash plugin. Is there any way to make it work with yours?

I just fixed the plug-in to make it compatible ! Just re-download it : Plug-in Js

I hope it will work for you this time. I also hope pikotan who has the same problem will see this,

Actually, I thank you for mentioning the Bobstah's BattleCommandList plugin, because as I stated in a previous message I had not found an incompatibility with Weapon Unleash when I tested before... but that was because my own BattleCommandList plug-in was on ! And it hid the incompatibility with Weapon Unleash by making the battle command list work well despite it. Because you mentioned it I thought of this possibility and was able to realize compatibility with Weapon Unleash was really broken when BattleCommandList was not present.

Thank you!!! Holy crap you just saved me a huge headache. Bobstah plugin is great but it's much easier to accomplish the same goal with Yanfly.

I will try this later.

Hey, you attempted to fulfil my request in under 24 hours. Even if you failed miserably, it's awesome I thank you.

EDIT: @Unconnected42 This has nothing to do with your plugin update, just my stupidity. I changed some stuff around and now I can't get skill ammunition to work. I stripped away all the fancy stuff and just made the default attack, ID 1, use ammunition. Buuut, it won't work now.

EDIT 2: Okay, it works. But none of the ammo counts are showing up...

EDIT 3: Went back to the old plugin and now the skill notetags don't work at all. I don't know what's going. It's making my head hurt.

EDIT 4: Created a clean project, installed your new plugin and only that plugin. Added ammo to Attack skill. Using Attack depletes ammo, but there's no ammo number or message during battle.

Technically, the request for compatibility with Weapon Unleash was made a while ago, so I took much more than 24h to complete it... Your post juste motivated me to correct it because it made me realize the reason I could not experience the bug before.

As for what you say now, I verified and yes, ammunition didn't show up for normal attack ; ammo was only supposed to show up for weapons and special skills, I never thought about the possibility of normal attacks needing ammo, but if you think about it a little people might try this just for the purpose of testing just like you did, So it is better that it also works for notmal attack.

It should be corrected too now (for the case of your edit number 4) if you check last version.

Is there a way to make the weapons which will be using the ammo system accept multiple ammunition types?

#195 Dec 7, 2016, 07:40 PM Source

Do I need to add <Unco Ammo> into the notes? Or am I missing something? It doesnt seem to work either way.

@ProjectDeadGaming I know it was likely because your posts were waiting approval, but just so you know, double posting is not allowed (posting twice in a row like that). No worries, as I know the pending posts can be confusing, just wanted you to know.

@ProjectDeadGaming

To have a weapon or a skill need ammo, you need to put tags in its notebox. Not <Unco Ammo>, but just a tag identifying the exact item/armor/whatever ammo type that you want the weapon or skill to use.

The main tags that most people will probably want to use are essentially <Ammo ID Item: COST> for using normal items as ammo, or <Ammo ID Equip: COST> for using armor as ammo (there are other possibilities, check the main post or plug-in help for more details).

If the needed ammo is an equip/armor, then the ammo will have to be actually equipped in order for the attack/skill to be available.

Also, you can add several <Ammo ID Equip: COST> tags and then if any of them is equipped the attack/skill will be available (and consume the equipped ammo when used). So, to have multiple ammo types, just put several <Ammo ID Equip: COST> in the weapon/skill notebox.

Note that on the other hand, putting several items tags will make every of these items necessary.

And if you like doing complicated things and put both items and equip tags, then you will need all of the listed item ammo types, and exactly one of the armor ammo types. :)

Cannot manage to download the demo for some reason. Might be down- but the download buttons don't do anything for me.

I just tried and 4Shared (which I used) seems to have become really crappy now. >:(

However, the plug-in version on this demo is outdated, so I needed to update it anyway... I'll do that and upload it somewhere else.

EDIT :

Ok, I updated the demo and uploaded it on Mega, which should be much better.

I also fixed a bug in Ammunition System that escaped my notice until now (game crashes when you go see a merchant who sells weapons needing ammo when you have no weapon currently equipped).

Link to demo : Demo !

Hi.

Problem.
I'm starting out a new project and testing the plugin, so here's the thing...

I made a Pistol Shot skill (ID:89) and given it the note tag <Ammo 5 Equip: 1>.
I also assigned it to a weapon with the Weapon Skill plugin.

The armor in question is called "Pistol Magazine" (ID:5) and I given it the note tag
<Ammo Charges: 10>.

The charge counter was showing fine but every time I start a battle, I'm unable to use the skill
even as I successfully equip my actor with both the weapon and ammo. The skill is greyed out in the skill menu
and the description also reads the skill cost as "xundefined".

I tried again with stacked ammunition as an item and it worked fine.
Its the equipment-based ammo that doesn't seem to work.
