MV - using "Scene_Map.prototype" with a "Game_Interpreter.prototype" ScriptCall (help request)

(i hope this Thread is adressed Correctly)

first text

I want to make a mini Plugin for the SRPG engine.This plugin should replicate a "Force Action" on Map without "SV battles".
In my Case the SRPG engine allready uses a Plugin that enables *MapBattle"true"*.
Thats why i need to use 1 function which is "Scene_Map.prototype" and its somehow needed to trigger it with "this"..
(thats how other SRPG plugins do it).
Here is the experimental Plugin Code for better Explanation:
(this wont work correctly)

Code:

//"this.isMapForceAction(userId, targetId, skillId, payCost);"
        //Scene_Map.prototype.srpgMapForceAction = function() {
             Game_Interpreter.prototype.isMapForceAction = function(userId, targetId, skillId, payCost) {
                 var user = $gameSystem.EventToUnit(userId);
                 var target = $gameSystem.EventToUnit(targetId);
                 if ((!user[1].isDead()) && (!target[1].isDead())) {

                      $gameTemp.setActiveEvent($gameMap.event(userId));

                      $gameTemp.setTargetEvent($gameMap.event(targetId));

                      $gameTemp.setShouldPayCost(payCost);

                      $gameSystem.forceSRPGBattleMode('map');

                      user[1].forceAction(skillId, target[1]);

                      $gameSystem.setSubBattlePhase('invoke_action');

                      //this.srpgBattleStart(user, target); // this is the "Scene_Map.prototype" Function

                      var action = user[1].currentAction();

                      user[1].useItem(action.item());

                 }
             };
        //};

I also tried to build this direcktly into a "Scene_Map.prototype" and not using "Game_Interpreter.prototype" with this experimental Plugin Code:

Code:

//"Scene_Map.prototype.srpgMapForceAction(userId, targetId, skillId, payCost);"
        Scene_Map.prototype.srpgMapForceAction = function(userId, targetId, skillId, payCost) {

             var user = $gameSystem.EventToUnit(userId);
             var target = $gameSystem.EventToUnit(targetId);
             if ((!user[1].isDead()) && (!target[1].isDead())) {

                  $gameTemp.setActiveEvent($gameMap.event(userId));

                  $gameTemp.setTargetEvent($gameMap.event(targetId));

                  $gameTemp.setShouldPayCost(payCost);

                  $gameSystem.forceSRPGBattleMode('map');

                  user[1].forceAction(skillId, target[1]);

                  $gameSystem.setSubBattlePhase('invoke_action');

                  this.srpgBattleStart(user, target);

                  var action = user[1].currentAction();

                  user[1].useItem(action.item());

            }
            return true
        };

..and using this as Scriptcall :

Code:

Scene_Map.prototype.srpgMapForceAction(userId, targetId, skillId, payCost);

//Example:

Scene_Map.prototype.srpgMapForceAction(9, 28, 1, true);

//this will forceAction, with "user"(event id 9 ),"target"(event id 28 ),..
//..,using "Skill 1" with "PayCost"= true.

But i realized that i dont know how exactly "Scene_Map.prototype" works..
-> this Scriptcall(Example 2) will work, but it will somehow store data and make strange Functions, if used later serveral times in several Situations.
( for example using Multiple Attacks ect)
=> i think i need to create a "Scene_Map.prototype.srpgMapForceAction" ,and to be able to update it, with data that is inserted with a ScriptCall ,an reset it after Usage.But i dont know how to do this.

The Goal is to have a ScriptCall, that can be Used similar like the ScriptCall: "user[1].forceAction(skillId, target[1]);"

Thx in advance

I think i solved a few Issues but i still could need help in understanding how "Scene_Map.prototype" works..
the current "Version" of the Plugin is this:

experimental Plugin

Code:

//=============================================================================
// SRPG_MapForceAction.js
//=============================================================================
/*:
* @plugindesc v1.0 Adds <SRPG_MapForceAction> ScritCall to SRPG
* @author dopan
*
*
*
*
*
*
* @param Blank_Skill ID
* @desc Skill ID: ID of the Blank Skill that is used in the "this.isCreateMapForceAction();"-ScriptCall
* @type skill
* @default 1
*
*
*
* @help
*
* This Plugin helps to replicate the "force Action" Function for skills in: MapBattle"True" BattleMode.
* the Plugin ScriptCall will activate a "force Action" on Map without using "SV battleMode"
* Note: the Plugin is still experimental pls report any Bugs or Issues u might find.
*
* -> the "SkillAction" from this ScriptCall, wont work with a Skill that uses "minRange" or if,
*   the Target is Outside of SkillRange from the User-position.It will also trigger Counters,
*   if the added Skill would do that (ignoring range on counters).
*
*
*
* Plugin Scriptcalls:
*---------------------
*-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* - "this.isMapForceAction(userId, targetId, skillId, payCost);"
*-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Example : "this.isMapForceAction(9, 28, 1, true);"
*
* => this will forceAction, with "user"(event id 9 ),"target"(event id 28 ),using "Skill 1" with "PayCost"= true
*
* => there is an Example for this in the Updated-SRPG_demo
*-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* - "this.isMapForceActionNote(userId, targetId, skillId, payCost);
*-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Example : "this.isMapForceAction(9, 28, 1, false);"
*
* => this will add a second attack if used in a Custom Ex SkillNoteTag ,..
*   .. with "user"(event id 9 ),"target"(event id 28 ),using "Skill 1" with "PayCost"= false
*
* =>  I advive to use the Following ScriptCall instead of using numbers on "user" and "target":
*
*              var user = $gameTemp.activeEvent().eventId();
*              var target = $gameTemp.targetEvent().eventId();
*
*              this.isMapForceActionNote(user, target, 11, false); // Skill 11 as another example
*
* => However this can be used in different ways it will add the Action but without a battlestart,...
*    ..so the action will happen as soon there is a battlestart.
*
* => there is an Example for this in the Updated-SRPG_demo
*-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* - "this.isCreateMapForceAction();"
*-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* => use this Scriptcall one time at the Start of a battle. Its a not very elegant walkaround,
*   that should make the other Scriptcalls work properly and must be used till i found a better solution.
*
* => this make sure that the First action that happens is an action from this plugin,i dont know exactly why,
*    but this has to happen in order to let the "Scene_Map.prototype;" of this Plugin work properly..
*
* => there is an Example for this in the Updated-SRPG_demo
*
*
*
* Known Issue:
*             -> 1 Action from this Plugin Must happen at battleMap start, that means there will be a delay,
*                and a pre&post Action Phase.. This issue is nothing gamebreaking and can be handled ,
*                but i will try to find a better solution in the Future..
*                ( at this moment i just dont know enough about JS and "Scene_Map.prototype;" to solve it properly.)

})();

it allready does what it should, but there are still a few little Issues..
-atm i can use 3 scriptCalls:
->"this.isMapForceAction(userId, targetId, skillId, payCost);"
will forceAction on Map if no other action is currently happen
(can not be used in Custom Ex skillNotetags!)
->"this.isMapForceActionNote(userId, targetId, skillId, payCost);"
will add a Note to forceAction on another Action that happens
(can be used in Custom Ex skillNotetags!)
->"this.isCreateMapForceAction();"
this is needed to make sure that the Plugin makes the first action..
.. its a self action of the last unit,this causes extra Issues.
But its the only walkaround i could find in order to make the plugin work correctly

The left "Issues" i got:
-the SelfAction from "this.isCreateMapForceAction();",..
..will also make a little delay and trigger a Pre&PostAction Phase ect.
=>its not Gamebreaking and can be handled ,but i would preffer to find a better solution..

Edit 2
Thread can be closed, its not perfect but the current Version is working,anyone who has an Idea to solve it better can message me in Private. thx
