[YEP] Yanfly Engine Plugins

The very concept of FFX's battle system stems from Final Fantasy Tactics' CTB. In fact, the original name of the FFT CTB is Clock Tick Battle system in the battle system developmental stages. A quick glance at the battle mechanic setup for the FFT CTB indicates strikingly high similarities to the FFX CTB: http://www.gamefaqs.com/ps/197339-final-fantasy-tactics/faqs/3876 In fact, FFX's CTB system would not work at all if it wasn't a tick-based, especially given the nature of delayable actions, delayable enemies, and altering the turn order. It's even stated here: http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Battle_system#Conditional_Turn-Based_Battle 


"The Conditional Turn-Based Battle system, or the Count Time Battle system in Japan, designed by Toshiro Tsuchida is used in Final Fantasy X. CTB is a turn-based system which does not operate in rounds, instead it uses an Act List that is affected through various means and thus does not guarantee that each participant in a battle will have an equal number of turns. Units with higher speed take more turns than slower ones, making speed more important than in other turn-based battle systems. Players can substitute party members mid-battle adding a new level of strategy."


And considering other users have no problems with this concept except you, I'm lead to further believe this isn't the right plugin for you, as it is, according to your words "stupid" and "nonsense". I'm going to ask you to leave this thread because your toxic nature is unwelcoming and you're highly insulting. Should you need to find someone who's willing to cater to your exact demands (good luck), go post about it in the request forum: http://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?/forum/136-js-plugin-requests/ This isn't the right place. More than likely, a request like a battle system will not be taken for free so you're better off shelling real money in the classified section: http://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?/forum/79-classifieds-requests/

finally i can make the tyrant skill tree..... sacrifice allies to achieve victory 

Is it possible to apply an Action Sequence to a state? Trying to make a Float state that allows you to be immune to Earth spells, but weaker to Thunder and possibly Ice, and I think it would be a cool effect if I could make it look like the character (at least if they're SV Actors anyway) is floating in midair while it's active.

Hey Little Paw, I'm asking you nicely to tone down your behaviour a bit, as it can be seen as attacking our users. Leave out language like "he has programmed it wrong" and "But that's just wrong." Just try not to sound like you're attacking people here :)

Funnily enough, I actually made a skill that was called Betrayal in my test project that had you attack one of your allies and steal their HP (like half) and heal yourself.


I made some good states and skills in that test project. Should get to recreating some of those...

Nope. Action Sequences are for actions only.

Awww... oh well. Would have been a nice touch. Thanks!


I'm assuming that no is the answer to my "auto dash boots" question as well?

yanfly.... is your new target plug in thats coming out next month or the current target core required to make a skill that targets the whole party except the caster to drain life from them?

I believe the release schedule is as follow:


18/03 - Area of Effect
25/03 - Base Param Formula
01/04 - Picture Common Events
08/04 - Equip Skill Slots
15/04 - Attachable Augments
22/04 - Target Select
29/04 - Item Disassemble


Does not include the bonus goodies. ;)

not what i was asking.....

Whoops. I'm eating while browsing these forums. Sorry! xD


I hope at least someone else will find it useful. :p

The Target Core does have skill notetag for what you were asking, I believe it was


<Target: All Allies Except User> 


But check the help file anyway.

As seen on Yanfly's blog:


Though “Turn Start” isn’t exactly viable for tick-based battle systems like ATB and CTB, there are still niche uses for it,


You really don't like doing it this way, do you? Seems to me, removing certain states (Guard comes to mind) before the actor's action window opens is exactly the way of doing it (since Turn End works so differently now - which it should; I'm not questioning that). That way, they stop doing their defending animation while you pick something else for them to do, which is exactly how it works in Final Fantasy X. It's not like Guarding in the actor's previous turn is going to matter in the current one, and it certainly LOOKS nicer. "Guard" is niche usage now?


Now, granted, I had been paying little attention to my own Guard command (it was still set to Action End 2~2, which was extremely obsolete) before yesterday's argument (since I'm aiming for a demo release soon, maybe it's for the better the argument happened so I could catch it!), but I have another state that has a special exception written in by me to put the user in her chanting animation for one turn - not charging a spell, just using her otherwise-unused (she's not a magic user) chanting animation for a different purpose. That one looks much nicer if she stops doing it before the action window appears. I grant this one as a niche case, but it's really just "Guard" with different functionality.


Oh, well, you did it anyway, so it's moot now. Just felt like giving my two cents.

It's in the help file...


 *   <Target: All Allies But User>
 *   This will target all friendly alive members except for the user.




I try to compromise the default battle system with ATB/CTB to keep as many things working the same way as possible without confusing devs as much as possible. For what it matters, when I made the ATB/CTB system for Battle Engine Melody back in the VX days, I did have <Turn Start: x> states update at the start of actor choice selection as I've moved the on_turn_start method to there. However, devs non-stop kept complaining about how it should work as in the default turn battle system saying it should be updated after the action has been selected. Now that I've done for MV, people start saying about having it the other way around. It drives me up the wall sometimes with what the devs want.


And for whatever you're trying to imply there, "Guard" isn't niche usage in RPG Maker. However, <Turn Start> tags aren't the only way to go about it either, which I believe you're using. My personal take on the "Guard" state falls under the mechanics of the <Action Start> timing, which falls in line with FFTactics, the precursor to FFX's CTB. In an action is performed, the character breaks out of the "Defend" stance. Upon menu opening, the character remains in the "Defend" stance for a particular reason. Should the player decide to have the character skip inputting an action, the character remains in "Defend" stance without having to use up extra CT. There's multiple ways to go about the "Guard" state and <Turn Start> isn't the only way.


However, I'm just going to revert back to the Melody-style of the state timings where it's going end before the menu opens. That's the way I've originally done it, and changing it due to a combination of complaints and trying to keep things as close to the default battle engine as much as possible. Seeing as how that's going to end up in user complaints either way, I'll just do it as I've originally done in the past, to which, I believe (and you do, too) works the best.

Okay, fair enough. Sorry for making such a big deal of it.

I did ;)

Keep up the great job Yanfly.

With your plugin of Damage Core... you can make that the Damage Minimum is always 1 and not 0 ???

Add this in line 98 of the plugin parameters: if (baseDamage === 0 && item.damage.type === 1) { value = Math.max(1, value) }
