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 think I'm just too stupid, but I don't understand how to copy code from this forum here displayed in the "code" tag or whenever people write this stuff without spaces haha

for example this:

Code:

<setup action>display actionimmortal: targets, truewait: 40hide battle hudopacity not focus: 0%camera focus: user, front center, 45zoom: 1.2, 45wait: 40motion chant: usermotion wait: userse: Darkness8opacity user: 55%, 20wait: 20opacity user: 100%, 20wait: 20se: Darkness8opacity user: 55%, 20wait: 20opacity user: 100%, 20wait: 20se: Darkness8opacity user: 55%, 20wait: 20opacity user: 100%, 20wait: 20motion guard: usermotion wait: useranimation 52: userwait for animation</setup action><Target Action>motion spell: usermotion wait: userwait: 30camera focus: target, front center, 45wait: 45action animation: targetwait for animationaction effect: targetdeath breakclear battle logwait: 20reset zoom: 20reset camera: 20perform finishwait: 20opacity not focus: 100%</Target Action><follow action>show battle hud</follow action>

When I copy & paste it I have to set the spaces manually, like
<setup action>
display action
immortal: targets, true

.. etc. because it doesn't recognize the code otherwise. There's a lot of really cool stuff here I want to look into because I'm pretty newbish, what am I doing wrong? o: Please excuse the super stupid question!

It's not a stupid question and you're not stupid for asking it.

If some people's action sequences in code tags have messed up spaces and are single line, it's either their own fault or the forums somewhere along the line screwed them up. Either way, you're not doing anything wrong. if anything, copying from RM and pasting into the forums adds an extra line break:

Sample

Note: this isn't a yanfly action sequence so don't use it because it won't work. (It's for a custom thing I'm working on and just so happen to have open, but it's the same principle)

In RM, there's no line double-spacing, but when I post it here, it adds an extra linebreak for every line for some reason, like so:

Code:

<Whole Action>

wait: 60

action animation: targets

wait: 15

hp: same, -variance(damage(a.atk, 5, b.def), 0.1);

wait: 60

action animation: targets

wait: 15

mp: same, -variance(damage(a.atk, 3, b.def), 0.1);

wait: 60

action animation: targets

wait: 15

tp: same, -variance(damage(a.atk, 2, b.def), 0.1);

wait: 60

action animation: targets

wait: 15

tpb: same, -50%

wait: 60

animation: 46, targets

wait: 15

hp: same, variance(damage(a.atk, 5, b.def), 0.1);

wait: 60

animation: 46, targets

wait: 15

mp: same, variance(damage(a.atk, 3, b.def), 0.1);

wait: 60

animation: 46, targets

wait: 15

tp: same, variance(damage(a.atk, 2, b.def), 0.1);

wait: 60

animation: 46, targets

wait: 15

tpb: same, 50%

wait: 60

animation: 1, targets

wait: 15

hp: same, 0

wait: 60

</Whole Action>

When I copy/paste something that's properly linebreaked from the forums though, it works fine and should for you as well.

Hey guys, I'm a noob programmer in need of assistance :elswt:
I'm having trouble to do some pretty simple animations, and hoped you guys could help me.

The first skill is the "attack" default action, and I wanted to make a condition where... if the character is holding a "dagger" weapon-type, he does one more attack. Heres the notetag I'm using:

Spoiler
<Setup action> move user: target, front, 20 wait for movement </Setup action> <Target action> Motion attack: user action animation: target wait for animation action effect normal critical if user.attackMotion() == 'Thrust' wait: 20 Motion attack: user action animation: target wait for animation action effect normal critical end </Target action>

The line "if user.attackMotion" works fine, but thats not what I wanted, because a spear or punch weapon would activate this as well. I wanted to change the "motion" to "type", but dont know if theres a code for that. Do you guys know what code I could insert? Thanks!

#1887 Apr 21, 2021, 01:54 PM Source

Try this, instead of attackMotion

if user.isWtypeEquipped(ID)

For clarity, that's the type not the ID of the weapon itself

The answer you got about the weapon type will fix your problem - I just wanted to point out that you have some lines in your sequence that don't appear to be doing anything.

The documentation for "normal critical" says "This forces the following action effects in the action sequence..." and you are putting them after your action effect, so it wouldn't do anything. Also, I don't see anyplace in the sequence that's initially forcing it to have/not have criticals, so I don't understand the point of returning it to the normal critical setting.

A bit of a weird request: I'm trying to debug action sequences in Fossil but I don't use them often enough to really strain the system. Can someone come up with an action sequence that uses as many commands as possible in a way that outputs to the console or has an obvious visual effect, so I can compare how it works in MV vs in fossilized MZ?

#1891 May 8, 2021, 07:58 AM Source

This should test almost all possible commands for action sequence pack 2. You would never get a notification that an action failed if it did fail so you were kinda blind until you tested the code. for this code I recommend you place it on a healing skill so enemies don't die while the action sequence is happening unless the skill is really weak. Have at least 2 enemies and 2 actors to verify targeting is working. It's not really a fancy looking skill, it's really just meant to see if all targeting functions and commands are working.

I have sort of a general question re: action sequences.

For my game I wanted to open on a battle, or rather of the end of one - but it wouldn't be a battle that the player controls. So I wanted to kind of make a cutscene within the battle engine. It seems like action sequence is the way to do this, but I wanted to make sure this is possible before I go really in-depth trying to set things up?

Basically, it would be a few pose changes (like, between 'victory' and 'cast' for instance), balloon icons, and lines from characters, and them using their attacks. Not terribly long, just to introduce the party. Then it would transition to the regular map for a more standard evented cutscene.
Thoughts?

I have a Problem with this plugin and the animations of some Skills

When i setup my motions for an action sequence the animation sometimes gets out of proportion and the skill is not lining up with the
movement from the plugin anymore. It seems this is caused by the size of the enemy.

Does anyone know how i can prevent this from happening so that the action sequence and the skill animation line up the same way for different
sized enemies?

Are you using any other plugins that affect animations or combat generally? This plugin does not do anything to your animations aside from display them on command, so anything altering the size of them needs to be coming from someplace else.

No im not using any other Combat or other Plugins that should interfere with this one. Its also happening when i only use the necessary Plugins without anything else.

Ill show on 2 screenshots what i mean
The Left image is how it looks on a small enemy (and how it should look like) and on the right its the same skill/animation with a bigger enemy.
is there any way i can prevent this from happening?

Can anyone with more brain wrinkles than me figure out why this isn't working as intended? I want each hit to have a different animation if it's critical or not, but maybe I have too many "ifs" going on here or something. It also has additional hits based on the mastery level of the skill. Right now, it just does the skill motion and the action effect and animation but ignores the escape and move motions.

<target action>
if (user.skillMasteryLevel(173) >= 1)

Ah. Your original post talked about the animation being "out of proportion," so it sounded like the actual size of the animation was different.

This is happening because you have the animation playing on the enemy, and its position is set to Center - and, logically enough, the center will be in different places depending on the size of the enemy sprite.

To get around this, you could try setting the animation position to Feet and raising where the animation frames are on the screen; or you could reposition the animation to be way to the left and have it play on the character's actor instead of the enemy.

Yuuzal said:

It's rather hard to read through this - it's good practice to indent anything inside of an "if" by a few spaces (and then you'd put the sequence inside a CODE tag to preserve that spacing). It looks like the entire thing is inside of "if skill mastery > 173", and I'm not sure that's what you wanted.

In fact, I think if you do that, you will immediately see where your errors are - you have a bunch of missing "end" commands. You can see below what I'm talking about...you need to figure out exactly where you want them to achieve the effects you're looking for.
Sequence

Code:
if (user.skillMasteryLevel(173) >= 1) motion escape: user move user: target, front, 25 face user: home wait: 20 face user: forward motion skill: user action effect // Is this supposed to be inside of the prior if? if target.result().critical animation 98: target jump target: 100, 60 else animation 97: target wait: 5 motion skill: user action effect // You need an "end" right here // This will never happen, because it's inside of "else" that already means the result is not critical if target.result().critical // etc....

It is, but you have multiple statements. You don't need it before an "else," but you do need it before doing another "if" unless that's supposed to be nested inside the first condition.

//This changes the animation if it's critical if target.result().critical animation 98: target jump target: 100, 60 end
You don't want this (and every place like this), because you have an "else" for this condition.

//Skill hits twice at this mastery level
Right here is where you have an error, because if you were following your indentation and your "ends," all of the code after this is still inside your first condition of skill mastery level >=1.

Yuuzal said:
//This is the single hit version if it's mastery level zero
Which means this is going to have unexpected behavior, because you didn't have the correct number of "ends" from the beginning, so you're saying
"if skill mastery is greater than 1, and now if skill mastery is <= 0," which will never evaluate to true.

So, again, the correct format is:
Code:
if stuff end
or
Code:
if stuff else if other stuff else if other different stuff else yet more stuff end
Similarly,
Code:
if stuff if (still needs the first if to be true to see this!) other stuff end end
