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!

I've spent a lot of time trying to figure out something pretty simple with no luck.

All I want is a skill to show a certain weapon and attack stance. Nothing fancy. I've found a few scripts in this thread that are supposed to do this. No matter what I try the actor performing the skill will do casting stance and animation then do the attack twice. On the second attack the actor holds the correct weapon but has the wrong stance. I can't figure out why the attack gets performed twice and in different ways.

I assume the first attack with the casting animation is how it should look by default and the second is my scripted attack. I don't know how to void the original attack and just use the scripted one. I figured such a simple script would be easier to find or maybe I'm just missing something.

Basically I want a skill attack to look just like a normal attack where the actor shows their weapon, attacks and moves back. I don't want the casting animation.

<setup action>
perform start

display action
motion walk: user
wait: 5
move user: target, FRONT BASE, 40
wait: 40
</setup action>

<target action>
MOTION ATTACK: user
wait: 20
action effect
animation 1: target
wait: 5
<\target action>

<finish action>
motion user: evade
move user: HOME, 30
face user: FORWARD

clear battle log
wait: 30
perform finish
</finish action>

This should do the job. Just set the animation number to what ever animation you wonna use for the skill. Its not perfect but usable.

Thank you. During the time of my post and now I was able to achieve what I wanted and learn the code some. Here's something I put together for a simple triple slash attack with some camera zooming goodness.

<setup action>

display action

camera focus: user

zoom: 120%, 20

wait: 25

camera focus: target

zoom: 120%, 20

camera offset: right, 50

immortal: targets, true

</setup action>

<target action>

move user: target, front, 20

wait for movement

wait: 10

motion attack: user

attack animation: target

wait for animation

action effect

wait for animation

motion attack: user

attack animation: target

wait for animation

action effect

wait for animation

motion attack: user

attack animation: target

wait for animation

action effect

wait for animation

wait for movement

wait: 5

</target action>

Ok this should work, the only thing I couldn't get right was the jump at the end so you are free to remove it.

Well the color is also off but that's because I don't know wich color Yanlfy used so //rmwforums.s3.amazonaws.com/emoticons/default_tongue.gif

Good job ... nice effect !!!! :D
Anyway ... you know if you can build skills with the effect "afterimage" ???? ;)

Hi All,

Finally starting to get my head around this animation stuff and i'm having a lot of fun jazzing up my skills. But one thing I can't see to do is lock "Motion Chant: User".

What I want is for the Player to use Motion Chant and keep in that animation while he flots up and casts the initial charge skill, then comes out of chat to attack (Motion attack).

Here is what I have:

<Whole Action>
SE: absorb1, 90, 50
add state 34: user
tint screen: dark, 30
wait: 5
motion chant: user /// Start Chant
float user: 400%, 60
move user: forward, 400, 60
wait for movement
animation 152: user
wait for animation
wait: 30
Motion Chant: User // That fixed it!
motion attack: user // End Chant
wait for animation
action animation
wait: 90
jump target: 400%, 50
wait: 50
jump target: 200%, 25
wait: 40
float user: 0%, 5
action effect: target
remove state 34: user
tint screen: normal, 15
perform action
death break
perform finish
</Whole Action>

Yes it's very messy. It's a work in progress lol.
Any help would be appreciated!

EDIT: Nevermind, I figured it out. See the above script!

Hi Guys,

Got another interesting one. I've made a limit break skill where the user knocks the enemy out of the battle (providing it's not a boss). Basically what I have done is set the enemy to move backwards 500 (out of the screen) and then set it to force collapse. Now my problem is that there are certain enemies that I have set to not vanish when they die as they are smart human types who can resurrect each other. However I'd like this limit break skill to permanently remove these enemies from battle so they cannot be resurrected or targeted again.

This is in conjunction with YEP_AnimatedSVBattlers

Does anyone know how I could script that. Here is my attack notetag:

<setup action>
add state 34: user
cast animation: user
motion chant: user
wait for animation
immortal: target, true
</setup action>

<Target Action>
if target.isStateAffected(31)
move user: target, front base, 15
jump user: 300, 30
wait: 6
action animation
wait for animation
move target: backward, 500, 15
wait for movement
collapse: target, force

<----------------------------------------------- Vanish / remove from battle
else
move user: target, front base, 30
wait for movement
motion swing: user
animation 164: target
wait: 3
jump target: 300, 39
wait: 2
SE: Absorb1, 100, 150
jump user: 300, 30
wait: 2
motion swing: user
action animation
wait: 3
if !target.isStateAffected(35)
move target: backward, 500 , 15
wait for movement
collapse: target, force

<----------------------------------------------- Vanish / remove from battle
else
immortal: target, true
action effect: target
immortal: target, true
action effect: target
end
death break
perform finish
</Target Action>

<finish action>
remove state 34: user
immortal target: false
</finish action>

Thanks in advance

Hello all, new to this topic. Yanfly linked me here because of this (which might need JavaScript knowledge in order to enact it): I want to make the normal attack command do movements based on the type of weapon characters have equipped. However, when a character deals a critical hit, I want it to zoom into the enemy and maybe like, flash the screen. Is there a way to do that using the Battle Core, and the 3 Action Sequence Packs?

I know this sounds like a stupid question, but I'm really new to this plugin. I'm trying to make a basic animation where the user moves to the target, swings his sword, and then goes back to his normal position. This is what I have so far:

<target action>

move user: target, front base, 20

wait for movement

motion swing: user

action animation: target

wait for animation

move user: home, 20

</target action>

Everything works so far, but the attack doesn't do any damage. How do I fix this?

I'm new to it as well. However, I have a question for you concerning the animation. Is this in the Attack skill command or in a skill like "Dual Attack" that deals damage? or are you creating your own skill? If you're creating your own original skill, do you have the damage type set to HP damage?

For custom skills, you'll want to use "action animation," since that'll make it play the animation that you set for the skill. If you're using the regular Attack, use "attack animation," because that will make it play the animation defined by the user's current weapon. And yes, I have the damage type set to HP damage. I think there's a line I need to put in regarding the damage formula, though, but I can't figure it out :\ I hope I was able to help you. As for how I know this, but not how to make the attack deal damage when using this plugin, let's just say a bit of forum scavenging can go a long way ;)

Put an

action effect

Somewhere in the sequence. That's what will give you the actual hit.

<target action>

move user: target, front base, 20

wait for movement

motion swing: user

action animation: target

wait for animation

action effect <------------------ insert it here to affect the target with whatever effect the skill has(i.e. damage, state or element)

move user: home, 20 <-----------by the way, I don't think you need this lin

</target action>

Hello! I have a quick pair of questions regarding if/else conditional branches within the action sequences.

To sort of set the scene so you understand what I'm doing - I want to make a skill that, when selected, has the user and an ally act together. Let's pretend for the sake of this example that the skill is basically the X-Strike combo from Chrono Trigger, except, if the ally is not in the party or is dead, I want it to do a different animation featuring only the user.

So obviously, I know I need a couple conditional branches - first to check if the character is in the party, second to check if the character is in the KO state.

The first one I'm entirely stumped on - what do I need to put? I know that it'll essentially amount to "If Character 2 is in party" sort of command line, but I'm just not sure what to put.

The second one I've at least halfway narrowed it down, I know the second half of the command needs to be .isStateAffected(1), I just can't figure out what will make that check a specific character.

Thanks for your time!

EDIT: Nevermind, figured it was probably easier to just do this via calling a common event that would check whether the character was in a party, alive, and awake, and if all conditions were met, flip a switch on (otherwise, flipping it off) and then doing an if: $gameSwitches.value(3) command to branch off whether he was available to join in the attack or not. Don't know why I didn't think of that last night, it was so obvious!

Someone know if i can set a specific action sequence to each individual character attack (normal attack) command?

There is a way do change battle victory pose?

1. Bind a different Attack command to each actor via Yanfly's Weapon Unleash plugin and give each command a different sequence.

2. Use and image editing software (i.e. Gimp or Photoshop) and change the victory pose on the sideview actor spritesheet.

Yes, type "action effect" as it's own line.

Hello everyone, I'm using the action sequence to play SE.

if target.result().hpAffected

se: SE_07, 100, 100, 0

else

se: SE_21, 100, 100, 0

end

The problem is, how do I make if statements within if statements.

I have tried the following: (All three below does not seem to work)

if target.result().hpAffected

se: SE_07, 100, 100, 0

else

if Math.randomInt(3)+1 <= 2

se: SE_12, 100, 100, 0

else

se: SE_18, 100, 100, 0

end

end

AND

if target.result().hpAffected {

se: SE_07, 100, 100, 0

}

else {

if Math.randomInt(3)+1 <= 2 {

se: SE_12, 100, 100, 0

else

se: SE_18, 100, 100, 0

}

end

}

end

AND

removed the "end" and/or added ";" and/or used a script call to play the SE (without the qoutes)

NOTE: The 1st code works fine. It plays a hurt voice SE if the enemy attack is greater than 0, otherwise if the character evaded or counter attacked or the enemy missed the code will play a snarky laugh SE. I don't want to play the snarky laugh everytime since it gets kind of annoying especially if the character is fighting a low leveled monster, thus the randomizer I'm trying to achieve/make.

Hey guys! New here, and TOTAL noob with everything. I just wanted to ask about the penta slash animation, or damage in general. I can't seem to make the individual numbers for reach strike to show.

Also, can someone point me in the general direction of a tutorial thread using Yanfly's engine? Specifically, I want to change certain variables like which casting animation to use and whatnot. So anyone who can tell me which thread has these type of things will be greatly appreciated.
