Capture Enemies

DreamX · 2016-03-01T14:10:43+0900

Capture Enemies By DreamX Introduction/Features Capture enemies, adding their actor version to the party. Patch Notes v1.8 - Compatible with Yanfly CTB. 1.7 - Fixes issues with loading more than one save during a game session causing captured actors of a different save game overriding each other. This version is not compatible with saves made with previous versions. 1.6 - I've updated the plugin with the following notetags: Put with x as the switch id as an enemy notetag to set the switch to true when the enemy is captured. Put with x as the variable id as an enemy notetag to incremenet that variable by 1 every time the enemy type is captured. In addition, there is a parameter that you can use to increment a variable every time any enemy is captured. v1.5 - Added parameter to decide whether to add captured enemies in battle or after battle. Right now, if that parameter is false, captured enemies will be added right before scene returns to the map, after the battle. Will change timing in an update later so you don't see the captured enemies a split second before the return to the map. v1.4f - Fixed crash on collapse of non-capturable enemies. v1.4 - Added parameter to level up an actor instead of duplicating their capture. v1.3 - There is now a parameter to decide whether captured enemies give EXP. v1.2 - Captured enemies now correctly display their sideview sprite. Now compatible with VE BattlerGraphicSetup. 1.1 - Fixed cannot capture message appearing with every normal action. How to Use Place under Yanfly plugins. Right click the script link and select save link as a .js file. Must be used with Yanfly's Battle Engine Core to work properly. Put into the notetag of an enemy, with x as the actor id. Put or into the notetag of a skill or item to enable capture. guarantees capture while adds x to the chance of capture. Put in the notetag of an actor to add x to the chance of capture. Make sure this is the same actor id as you put in the enemy notetag. Put in the notetag of a state to add x to the chance of capture when the enemy has that state. When you use the item or skill succesfully, the actor in that notetag will be added. You can have duplicates. You can manually add actors to your party by using the AddActor x y plugin command with x being the actor id and y being the level. You can still have duplicates. Make a comment in the first page of a troop with to disable capture for that battle. Make sure the comment only consists of that. Here are the text codes for the message parameters: %1 - The name of the enemy in the capture attempt %2 - The name of the troop in the database %3 - The name of the actor corresponding to the enemy Script Script (1.6a) Compatibility Compatible with Yanfly and Hime's respective enemy level plugins. Actors will be added upon capture at the level the enemy is at.

I'm not aware of any tactical battle systems for RPG Maker MV yet. But I don't see any special reason why it wouldn't.

If need be, you can use the plugin command to generate an actor.

Alright thanks!

Thanks for noticing! Newest version should fix that issue.

This is Marvelous! It's sleeping time over here, but I will let you know if it's perfect first thing in the morning!

Many thanks DreamX!

It working fine @DreamX! Even below of YEP_BattleCore. I don't think there's any problem with Capture plugin right now in terms of functionality!

~~I just found there's no animation for capture success. The "Capture Success Animation" parameter is actually for catching process,~~

~~as it also play before Fail Capture. I like that alot! Yet I'm wonderin' can you add another parameter so I can play an animation if the capture was success?~~

My fault! Just found that I didn't set animation for item! Perfect as always!

I did have a request, but let me know if it's too difficult as I totally understand everything was hardcoded.

Hmm...can you try the latest version and see if that resolves the issue?

Hey @DreamX just to let you know I've edit my last post instantly after your post to tell you the animation issue was happen under my fault. (Everyone hate post spam XD)

But for some reason the <no tag enemy> collapse crash was happening again with 1.4e update. Sorry man for hassling over the time. Here you go the console log and my plugin arrangement.

P.S: I've opened up a portrait workshop, so let me know if you're interested in making one for your game, or any free resource for your website! You know I won't say no to you XD

P.S2: I actually updated the BattleCore to latest v1.33, but it shown v1.28 here still.

No problem and thank you. The latest version should work correctly now - enemies without the tag will work normally.

No Thank You! It's fixed and running well now!

I just upload a video demonstrate "HotDog's" Capture System on the game post. Feel free to see it here! It's under the "Limb system and Capture system Demo"!

Again, many thanks for the script! It plays HUGE, major part in my game!

I've updated the plugin with the following notetags:

Put <capturedSwitch:x> with x as the switch id as an enemy notetag to set the
switch to true when the enemy is captured.

Put <capturedVariable:x> with x as the variable id as an enemy notetag to
incremenet that variable by 1 every time the enemy type is captured.

In addition, there is a parameter that you can use to increment a variable every time any enemy is captured.

I absolutely love this plugin and it will definitely be one of the main features of my project.

Upon testing I have a weird issue though, when an enemy is captured, it adds two instead of one!

I am not able to reproduce this error. Can you be more specific about when the error occured? Are you using any non-default parameters? Are you using any other related plugins?

I've used all the default parameters and the one which turns a switch on when the enemy is captured. Basically what happens, when the enemy is successfully captured, for some reason there are two of it in the party instead of just one. I can elaborate with more screenshots if necessary tomorrow evening.

Here's the plugins I have:

That would be helpful, thank you. I've been testing and haven't been able to find this bug.

Hmm strange... I double checked my game and it return 1 actor per catch. Perhaps you're not using 1.6? If yes the only thing I can think of is Flare_maplaw. I have every plugin you show in mine too, except Flare. Maybe try to move CaptureEnemies under it? I used to fix plugin crash issue like this. No promise though BD

Pretty important update.

1.7 - Fixes issues with loading more than one save during a game session causing captured actors of a different save game overriding each other. This version is not compatible with saves made with previous versions.

@orcywoo6

First, I'd like you to update to the latest version and see if that solves your problem. If not, make a new project with as few plugins as it takes to reproduce the error. Remove as many unnecessary files from the project to keep file size down. Then, upload it to dropbox, mediafire, google drive, mega or onedrive. I'll take a look at it.

Just to update you, there's no bug with 1.7 after day of using it. Cheers for perfect update, like always! BD

I finally figured out what was causing my issue, it was a conflict with the Flare Laws for map.

Damn, that's a huge shame!

Let me know exactly what you had to do to cause the error with flare laws and we'll see if we can make a compatibility patch.
