Instant Turn Battle System

DreamX · 2016-01-13T18:49:08+0900

Battlers perform actions instantly in an order decided by their agility. A turn ends after each battler acts. The order will be adjusted in-turn if a battler's agility is increased or decreased. This means that an example action order could be Enemy-Actor-Enemy-Enemy-Actor-Actor-Enemy. Script How To Use Set the battle type to itb in Yanfly's Battle Engine Core. Use as a skill notetag to prevent that skill from consuming an action for the battler - they will be able to act again after the skill is used. Make sure to set the parameters to your liking. Put the notetag on a state to disallow opponents from getting an extra action from hitting the battler in their weakness. Put with x as the state id as a notetag for an actor or enemy to define which state is applied when they are hit in their weakness. This overrides the parameter setting for that actor or enemy. Use 0 to disable states from being applied from being hit in the weakness. Use in a skill/item to readd a battler to the pool of battlers if they had already finished their previous actions. Must be used with a state that increases action times. Patch Notes v1.11 - Add readd option. Use in a skill/item to readd a battler to the pool of battlers if they had already finished their previous actions. Must be used with a state that increases action times. v1.10 - Added Ready Sound parameters. You can optionally have a sound play when an actor is ready to act. v1.09 - Now allows an animation to be played on the battler when they get an extra action from hitting an opponent's weakness. Always works on enemies, only works on actors if sideview is on or with another plugin that supports animation on actors in front view. Set the animation in the parameters. v1.08 - With parameters and notetags, a battler can earn an extra action by hitting an enemy weakness. Also, being hit in the weakness may apply a state to a battler. The windows no longer jitter when selecting the fight command. v1.07 - Surprise battles now correctly allow enemies (and only enemies) to attack the first turn. v1.06 - Fixed state/buff turns being counted down twice per turn. v1.05 - Fixed Regeneration v1.04 - Enemies no longer have infinite actions when Yanfly's Battle A.I. Core is turned on. v1.03 - Hitting cancel during input will not skip the actor's turn anymore, nor will it allow you to select actors that have already had their actions. v1.02 - The battle system now needs to be set in Yanfly's Battle Engine Core. Set the battle type as itb. Troop events set to run on a certain turn or turn end now work. Battlers may now act more than once a turn after applying an action time increase state to themselves. Compatibility with Yanfly's Instant Cast is no longer applicable. Use as a skill notetag to prevent that skill from consuming an action for the battler - they will be able to act again after the skill is used. v1.01 - Action time increases now work. The plugin seems to work pretty well as-is. I would like to, however, increase compatibility with other scripts and introduce a few extra features. I would also like feedback, for suggestions as well as to catch any bugs. My goal for this plugin is to make a battle system that is easy to understand and balance, and fast to play. One of my disappointments with the default battle system is how you need to process each actor's input before the actions are performed. This makes things feel sluggish. In addition, you could not adjust your tactics during the turn in response to how the battle was developing. I have noticed that some people have found difficulty balancing or understanding the turn mechanics in CTB and ATB scripts, so I believe the more predictable nature of this ITB script may be appreciated. This script itself was based off of Yanfly's CTB script. As mentioned in the script documentation, please remember to credit them should you use the script. Known Issues None Future Updates I'd like to add a visible turn order to the battle system that also predicts the turn order when hovering over skills that would alter it. Be able to have skills that have be charged up for x amount of turns before use. Be able to have team-up skills that require two or more actors to use.

That's strange. I've tested a buff with 2 turns and it works correctly for me.

I'm going to ask that you redownload this plugin (just in case), update all of your other plugins (a likely other culprit might by Yanfly's Battle Engine Core). Test it again. If it's not working, try turning off other unneeded plugins until you've found the plugin causing the problem.

If it's still not working correctly, could you post a picture of your plugin list or paste the contents of plugins.js (which is in the js folder)?

Alright, I'll test it when I get home.

Thanks

Edit: It seems all I needed to do was update battle engine core.

Thanks

Oh, this seems similar to the Persona games (fitting, since you have Naoto as your profile pic).

One question though: Is there a way to notify the player with a picture when they get an extra action? Like in Persona 3/4, when "1 More" appears when you hit the enemy with their weaknesses?

Good idea. 1.09 now allows an animation to be played on the battler when they get an extra action from hitting an opponent's weakness. Always works on enemies, only works on actors if sideview is on (because otherwise they don't even have a sprite). Set the animation in the parameters.

I was worried with the "sideview-only" part, but it works with MogHunter's Battle HUD. Except the animation is mirrored on the actors. (See the attached image. the animation is over the 3rd party member, but mirrored.)

Thanks for pointing that out. v1.09a should fix the animation mirror.

Thank you, it's working perfectly now (at least for all the things I've tested so far)!

1.10 - Added Ready Sound parameters. You can optionally have a sound play when an actor is ready to act.

v1.11 - Add readd option. Use <reAddBattler:1> in a skill/item to readd a battler to the pool of battlers if they had already finished their previous actions. Must be used with a state that increases action times.

Hello,

I did not have the chance or the possibility to test the script, but I would like to know if the battle is based on You_Party_turn and The_Enemy_Troop_turn structure. To be more precise, in my party are 3 Battlers (b1, b2, b3) and the enemy troop consists of 3 enemies (e1, e2, e3). Do all my battlerst need to perfom their action and the enemy turn comes after that like b1-b2-b3 => e1, e2, e3 or everyone is seeded seperate based on a particular stat e.g. AGI and a possible turn order is b1-e1-e2-b2-b3-e3 ?

b1-e1-e2-b2-b3-e3

Based on agility

Edit: Woah, wait a sec. This is the WIP thread. The plugin was released here already:

A little neat feature would be, that you can change the rate of hitting the enemy weakness. It is only possible when the attack does not hit, but it would be nice if the attack lands and you can e.g. set the chance for hitting the weakness to 50%, to add something like a stagger chance.

I have a problem with Itb. I tried Ctb and it said that the Maximum call stack size exceeded, so i got this ITB. However, when i opened it up, I realized that the instructions on how to use the icons were extremely vague. Do i have to put in the entire filename? when i have an entire image sheet of images, lets say the sheet is called "oc ren". what should the icon name put in the notetag be? please help!

Using the image provided an example, you would use these notetags:

<ITBSheet: ocren 4 2>
<ITBSheetIndex: 0>

and name the image file ocren 4 2.png

By the default, this image file goes into the img/face folder, but you can change that in the parameters.

The reason why it is 4 2 is because there are 4 columns and 2 rows.

You can change the 0 to any index. 0 is first face. 1 is the second face, etc.

For help for CTB please post in the plugin support section.

Also, please post in this thread instead for ITB help:

How do you give weaknesses to an enemy?

The plugin works perfectly, thank you so much!

But is there a way to skip the agility part? I would like the order of my turns to always be the same, since I'm only using this script for instant turn and this awesome one more functionality.

EDIT: Okay, I don't know what it was that was conflicting, but it works as intended from a New Game.

I do have another question, though; If I want the default battle system for the most part, but just want ONE SPECIFIC action to be instant and without using up a turn, is this possible? Say, I want to have be able to use a skill or item to pull up the monster book for easy reference in battle, but I don't want to consume a character's turn. Is there a way to do that?

Yes, you can use <free_itb_action> inside the skills notetags to achieve that.
