[Closed] Animated Sideview Enemies | Plugin Released

Yanfly · 2015-11-22T07:14:13+0900

Plugin is now released here: http://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?/topic/48860-yep-yanfly-engine-plugins-newest-animated-sideview-enemies-plugin-count-44/?p=521954 Hello, RM'ers! I've begun work on this a few weeks ago because I was notified that another animated enemies plugin clashes with my battle engine, due to incompatibilities. So rather than patch those incompatibilities, I figured it'd be easier if I just made my own plugin for it. As a result, I worked up this plugin and allowed my supporters to beta test it. I haven't been reported many problems yet, so I imagined it's in a relatively stable state. So now, it's time to push it to the next step: more open beta! http://yanfly.moe/beta/YEP_X_AnimatedSVEnemies.js This plugin requires the Battle Engine Core, so naturally, you'll place it underneath the Battle Engine Core in the plugin list. If you're using Action Sequence Pack 2, there's a new update for it if you want the animated enemies to be able to jump and such. Also, please make sure you have the most updated versions of the plugins (including the Battle Engine Core). You can grab them here. This plugin draws its animated battler data from your img/sv_actors folder. So if you want your enemy to look like Harold, you'd use this notetag in the enemy notebox: If you want to randomize the graphic used, just insert more into the notebox like this: This plugin does NOT require you to have a matching enemy graphic with a matching filename in your sv_enemy folder or enemy folder. There are "breathing" options for both static and animated enemies. Since having breathing options for the animated enemies is a bit redundant, I enabled it strictly for the static enemies only (although you can adjust this in the parameter settings. If you have Action Sequence Pack 2, enemies can now float by default, too. You can change the intensity of the breathing/floating through the plugin parameters and/or notetags. You can insert multiple sideview graphics to randomize your enemy appearances. Whatever you throw into the notebox will be whatever that enemy can potentially become. Multiple sideview weapons can now be inserted to randomize the type of weaponry they'll have. You can do this using either the simple notetag (which uses the default settings) or the advanced notetag, where you can customize the weapon index, attack motion, and animation associated with it. Idle motions also have a random pool, too. This way, enemies can appear a bit more dynamic if you decide to use only one battler graphic. My personal favorites are wait, walk, and victory. It's fun seeing happy battlers. XD Almost all of the motions are now customizable. This ranges from Damage to Evade, Escape, Guard, Abnormal, Sleep, Dying, and Dead motions. Using custom battler graphics, you now have the option to globally set their width, height, individually set their width, height, or have the plugin itself automatically do it for you. I personally prefer automatic but sometimes you just want a particular enemy to be a bit more personal and up close so the option's there for you to use. And for those wondering about the cute slimes I'm using in the image, it's a battler sheet made by one of my good friends who will be making his introductory appearance very soon! You can grab the sprite sheet here in the meantime! http://yanfly.moe/beta/Slime1_1.png To see the cute slime in action, save it to your sv_actors folder, use the following notetags in an enemy notebox: Anyway, happy beta testing! I'm not sure as to when the release of this plugin will be since there's still a few more features I want to add. We'll see~

Okay so I figured out most of my problems which was just me being a derp but the 1 that confuses me is

<setup action>

display action

immortal: targets, true

</setup action>

<target action>

if user.attackMotion() !== 'missile'

move user: targets, front, 20

else

perform start

end

wait for movement

motion attack: user

wait: 10

attack animation: target

wait for animation

action effect

</target action>

I use this for normal attacks on charcters and it works fine but with sideview enemies it makes them attack twice and the funny part is i have this exact same code for a double attack and it works fine for both sides for that skill.

Strange, that's the sequence I posted isn't it? I'm not sure why it's doing that for you as I'm using the same sequence:

<setup action>display actionimmortal: targets, true</setup action><target action>if user.attackMotion() !== 'missile' move user: targets, front, 20else perform startendmotion standby: userwait for movementface user: targetmotion attack: userwait: 10attack animation: targetwait for animationaction effect</target action>Are you able to reproduce this error on an empty project with just the associated plugins, upload it (do not deploy it), and link it here?

Hey I've tested this with a bunch of other plugins, I have yet to see, any issues or bugs, it's awesome.

One more quick note, I love how compatible everything you make seems to be like your battle core is compatible with another authors CTB plugin without any issues.

Great work, especially since you have like what 35ish plugins atm (36 I think if you count this one.)

I have a question Yanfly, how can we change an enemy appearance in a fight. I mean, just changing the picture, not transforming the enemy in another one.

Edit : I found an answer by myself, for example changing the appearance of the first enemy in the troop
Code:
$gameTroop._enemies[0]._svBattlerName = "SFE_HTMRobot2"

Getting "Undefined is not a function."

The battle loads in, says what enemies are there, I press enter and then the error occurs.

Hi Yanfly - I must be doing something daft, but I'm using your most updated YEP_CoreEngine, YEP_BattleEngineCore, YEP_X_ActSeqPack1 and YEP_X_ActSeqPack2 in that order before YEP_X_AnimatedSVEnemies.

I've deleted all my other plugins just to test with, I've got my sideview battler named correctly and in my SV_Actors folder. But no matter what I try to change, I only see the static sideview battler from the SV_Enemies folder appearing. It refuses to switch to the animated SV_Actor battler. The whole tag reads as follows; I picked it up from your Slime. What could I possibly be missing? :( Help! (and many thanks!) - Note that TheWitch.png is the filename in SV_Actors

<Sideview Battler: TheWitch>

<Sideview Idle Motion: walk>

<Sideview Idle Motion: wait>

<Sideview Idle Motion: victory>

Hi guys. this is my first post and I'm also new to the RPGMV thing. you guys put together some awesome stuff and as I'm new to this hole thing Im reading like a jackhammer. But I have come across my first BIG problem I just cant get around.

I have installed the actseqpack1 and 2, along with Yanflys Battlecore and have them listed as follows in my plugins..

BattleEngineCore v1.45
X_ActSeqPack1 v1.12
ActSeqPack2 v1.12

My problem is that the ActSeqPack's dont show ANY parameters in the Parameters box.none at all in fact!
I've updated everything, installed and uninstalled everything, they are also the only plugings I have running so far and Im gutted I can use these things!

Please could someone help?

That's because plugin parameters are general plug-in settings. This plugin, however, uses notetags to create commands inside skills, allowing customization from skill to skill instead of general stuff for every skill.
Remember, the fact that the plugin has no parameters means he has a bit different use.

I have a bit of a more artsy question here. I'm using this plugin and Aekashic's "Mimic MiMic" monster sideview battler and realized I can't change the hue of the Mimic MiMic, just the placeholder. The standard is purple, but I'm trying to make it green to match the forest and it's treasure chests. Having a green chest on the field turn purple in the battle feels inconsistent to me. It will be other colors too for different dungeons.

Is there a way to change the hue without having to mess with the sheet itself? If not, how do I change the sheet's color on Windows 10's Paint 3D? I'm too broke to afford any picture editing software, so I'm hoping there's a script I'm not seeing or something.

Thank you in advance!

There's a hue slider, but it is really performance taxing. I'd recommend using Paint 3D or Gimp (Gimps freeware) to edit the hue instead.

If still stuck on that post this under another thread, as it will no longer be relevant to this topic, which is about getting the plug-in working.
