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

Ok, I'm sure there's a much cleaner way to do this, but I like the effect so I figured I'd share. This basically emulates (close enough, anyway) a typical Dragoon Jump from any of the Final Fantasy games.

Here's the Jump effect:

And as addition I also came up with a little multi-bounce for an AOE jump attack which I think is kind of fun:

Like I said, I'm sure someone can come up with a much cleaner and shinier way to get this done as this is a Work in Progress, but I love this thread so much I wanted to contribute something.

love the thread idea. Keep em coming, this will help lots of us learn much quicker.

EDIT: How could we enhance this so that if a character gets two attacks in, both are facing the enemy.  I've got a character with gloves that gets an extra attack :)

 

Here's a caster damage effect: User slightly fades in and out 3 times, then a "power up" animation plays, then the character casts the damaging spell.

Take note that I'm making use of the camera panning/zooming, and also making non-active targets disappear during the ability. So, if you don't want those, just delete anything that says "camera" "zoom" and "opacity not focus: 0%"

@Fernyfer775 I like just tried it, I like. I'm going to save this one to the library and tweak as needed :)

Each strikes makes the Actor jump higher and perform twice as much damadge as the strike before it. While on it, someone know if it will be possible to include or if it already is possible to use damadge formulas inside of these tags??? Example: CHANGE VARIABLE 1 = a.atk

Don't mean to be a noob, but I wonder what the code for a character to remain in the casting animation for a spell would be.

motion spell: user

That just did something else and prevented the spell name from popping up in the above screen. I have it as a setup animation by the way.

Link what your set-up is, and what you're trying to accomplish, I'll see if I can figure out what to do for you.

So I took alot of the stuff in this thread, and changed it around a bit to make it my own a little bit. This is all based off a monk glove/claw user. Can be adjusted for anything really. 

Power Punch - Simple teleport-esque attack.

Uppercut  - As name suggests 

One two Combo - Back attack, Front attack 

Pummel - Just a simple 3 hit attack

Blitz - From the first page, redone

 
I would like to point out I can't even do events well, and I was able to adjust a lot of these and make one of my very own (upper cut). So if I can do it I feel anyone can. Much thanks Yan for making it simple, and thanks to everyone else for sort of showing this dummy how. <3

<target action>

motion spell: user

perform start

</target action>

To be specific, I want it to stay on the last frame as the spell animation occurs.

Do it like this:

motion spell: user

motion wait: user

If you look further up in the thread, you'll see the magic spell casting example I posted, perhaps you could get a few ideas from that.

I'm having issues here. This works with Skills but when i apply it to the note section of a weapon, my character doesnt' do anything. What am i doing wrong? Thanks!

<setup action>

</Target Action>

<follow action>

That's what I did. Thanks and sorry for the trouble.

I took them literally. From what I understand Skills OR Items can use this action sequences. i don't think weapons or armor count as items..but again could be wrong From the help file it says

Try this.

Better, but what if I wanted to make it hit all targets?

Change the <target action> and </target action> to <whole action> and </whole action>

Is there any way to place the user on the top layer? If I go to base of enemy i'm always hidden behind them. Thanks!

Thank you so much. It's working great!
