Pre-made (Yanfly's) Action Sequence Sharing and Discussions

Blue001 · 2015-10-24T12:19:19+0900

As Yanfly's Battle Engine Core and Action Sequences 1-3 basically add a new type of resource to the game that can be created/shared/requested (in the form of completed action sequences), I thought it would be a cool idea to have a thread where people can; 1 - Share any sequences that they have come up with, 2 - Request help with how certain sequences could be done. For example, if someone figures out how to do a omnislash like sequence and would like to share it, they now have a place. Be sure to thank/credit whomever created a sequence if you use it in your game. Please include a note on if the end user will need to have action sequence plugin 1, 2, 3 or all of them for the shared sequence. - For example, User SOC shared the following sequence (in another thread) to make your character swing their weapon when using the skill that contains this notetag. SWING WEAPON WHEN USING THIS SKILL motion swing: user perform action motion wait: user action animation: target wait for animation action effect: target death break perform finish Click to expand... It seems simple, but to some users, they may look at this an get confused, especially when trying to make it on their own. Having examples they can copy/paste to achieve a desired effect will help a lot. A big thank you to Yanfly for creating the plugins!

Would there be a way to use Yanflys Steal and Snatch plugin to create a world map pickpocket chance event when approaching NPCS? either with Yanflys or not
Since the plugin is used to take items from enemies in battle, attempting to utilize it outside of battle, where there would not normally be any enemies to draw from, probably wouldn't work.

You could use YEP Common Event Menu to set up events that call a menu to handle stealing from NPC's.

trying to make an animation where the sv actor dissapears and has an animation play of them attacking over the targeted enemy, but for some reason, the attack goes twice. is there any reason why its like this?

Here's the sequence:

<setup action>

clear battle log

display action

immortal: targets, true

perform start

wait for movement

opacity user: 0%

wait for animation

</setup action>

<whole action>

perform action

motion wait: user

action animation

wait for animation

action effect

death break

</whole action>

<finish action>

opacity user: 255%

immortal: targets, false

wait for new line

clear battle log

perform finish

wait for movement

wait for effect

action common event

</finish action>

@Earthboundstar123 You have some odd logic in terms of the commands in there.

Why is there a wait for animation at the end of your setup action? You haven't played any animation.

Similarly, you have this random wait for effect way down in your finish action. What's the purpose of that?

If it's a single-target attack, you should be using target action, not whole action. Try that.

Putting in target action made it work, thanks!
Im kinda new to making action sequences so i wast kinda just taking out some commands i thought were causing it to not work and putting commands that i though made it work. So sorry about the logic stuff

How do I make it so a skill repeats up to X times, based on how much TP the actor currently has?

Put them in if statements. You'd refer to the TP with user.tp

I cannot understand what the problem is.
Code:
<target action> animation 374: user wait: 30 opacity user: 0%, 10 action animation animation wait: 10 opacity user: 100%, 10 action effect if !target.result().missed && !target.result().evaded && target.elementRate(2) > 0.01 animation 3: target add state 63: target if target.isStateAffected(64) add state 65: target remove state 63: target remove state 64: target animation 127: target end end </target action>
I am using SergeofBIBEK's Nested IF addon. This is an enemy skill. State 63 is obviously meant to be applied only if the attack hits the player, but even if it misses, it still applies the state. Yet if I cause an actor to do the skill, and it misses an enemy, it suddenly works flawlessly and does not actually apply the state. Am I missing something?

Have you tested whether that has anything to do with it? If you cut out the nested if and disable that plugin, does it act any differently?

I don't see how any of that could matter whether the user/target is an actor or enemy.

Are you sure it's actually missing? It's not hitting for 0 damage or being parried by a plugin or something?

It is actually missing, with the usual popup.

Seems that's exactly the case. That's a huge problem since I have several skills that rely on that. The fact that it works as it should when it's actor against enemy yet not when it's enemy against actor is what bewilders me the most.

Well, then.

Since the original author is no longer active, I'll put it on my list of things to poke at if I get some free time.

But for the time being, you know the cause so you can just do some copying and pasting to split it into a regular if/else if.

I think me turning the Nested IF plugin off and then back on did somehow help, because now it just works as it should, even though I did not touch the action sequence itself.

I tried the King of beasts skill and it proved to not be working for me so I tried to tweak it. Just a few things not working really. When my characters floats up, he never reaches the same height as the target he sent flying. Also when I reach step 9 of the combo, my animation 540 freezes mid playing but the several times it plays again, it just works perfectly. Lastly, I have setup animations 199 to play on target but it still plays on user. Any ideas would be wonderful because it is one big Skill that's sure to be eye candy.

@sushibyte It might not be actively harming anything, but it doesn't make much sense to be using both a whole action and a target action.

whole action is executed on multiple targets of a skill simultaneously, whereas target action is executed on one or more targets individually. If your skill only hits one enemy, there's no reason not to have everything in the target action.

Also, I don't understand what your intention is in putting death break at the end of the action sequence. It's already the end of the sequence, what are you breaking out of?

I don't know what your enemy sprites are formatted like, but the obvious suspect for the discrepancy in floating is that you're using percentages. Most enemy sprites are larger than SV actors, so floating a given percentage for them will go up higher than the same percentage for an actor.

If that's the case, simply changing it to use a pixel value will fix it.

I don't have any immediate thoughts about the animation issues.

I am having multiple troubles with Action Sequences, and no amount of trial and error is leading me toward any solution. Put simply, all of the Action Sequences I have made work out just fine until both Skills and Magic that target all battlers of one type(Either Enemy or Friend) ceased to perform specific motions and certain animations repeated instead of playing just once.
JavaScript:
<whole action> motion spell: user </whole action>
This is no more and no less than the Notetags I have used for All-Hitting Magic, and the animation-no matter wheter it is set to "Screen" or not-will repeat for each Battler involved. Were I to remove the Notetags, it would work just fine-but the "Spell" Motion would not play for the Spell's Caster.

Any assistance and insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

@NoelArdiens Per the descriptions in the Action Sequence instructions, whole action is done once for all targets and target action is done for each target.

So if you don't want the skill's animation to play for each target, you need to define the target action as empty:
Code:
<target action> </target action>
then put the playing of the animation, action effect, and whatever else you want into the whole action.

Your user's spell motion is more appropriately placed in the setup action as it has nothing to do with the resolution of the skill.

I knew I was missing something obvious. I knew about Target Action doing everything for each target hence the name, but it completely wheezed right past my brain. The same applies for the concept of outright removing everything from the Target Action itself, I had not thought of it and it absolutely fixes the issue I was having.

Now that I have gained some actual understanding of how to set these notetags for Skills and Spells, everything has been resolved and I have learned yet another valuable lesson, my thanks to thee.:hhappy:

Is it possible to make a skill visually do nothing and take no or little time?
I have a skill that just needs to run a common even which just runs a script for enemy "logic". I don't need the player to even know it's running. My battle system is Yanflys STB and I'm having trouble making things run at the start of each enemy turn.

edit: No idea why it wasn't working but it is now...

Hello @All,

i need a standard action sequence for the normal attack to the opponent and jump back for sideview battle please. Unfortunately I overwrote my save game and it is not saved in the current one. Unfortunately I don't remember where I found the old action sequence.

Can someone help me please?

Thanx :)

Is it possible in the Action Sequence to change the Skill users Z-Layer priority? Like if a Battler attack, the battler sprite draws above his target.
