Multiple hits/attacks but only one animation?

I'm trying to make an attack skill that repeats 4 times, but only play a single animation for it(as hit special 2 is at least a dozen hits just played once); is there an easy way to accomplish this?

If I remember correctly, Yanfly's core script has a fix that makes an animation of a multiple attack display only once - But I don't know if that is what you want, because it will apply to all skills, and not only selected ones.


Alternatively, you can simply make a new animation and change the skill settings to make four times the damage by damage formula, and only pretend to the player by the skill descriptions that it is an attack that repeats.

Actually, with Yanfly's script if you put the following in the note box of the particular skill, it will affect that skill and no other.

Ah, thanks guys, I already had the script installed and that did exactly what I was looking for. 

where can i find this script?

It's been so long since it was posted that it looks like even the GitHub repository doesn't have it any more. All I could find is the Lunatic Add-On, but that may be my poor search techniques.

Here is my copy of the script. There is some configuration needed (e.g. which font to use, which battle vocab to use etc.) as these are my configurations and may not match what you want. You will find them on lines 224 - 381

thank you!

Hi. I also have this kind of problem. Can anyone help? I'm trying to make a skill hit all enemies with one animation.

I’m new here, so still finding my way around thanks for sharing your copy! Just wondering, do you know if this script can still work smoothly with the latest version, or would it need some tweaks first?
