This needs taking out of the op.
No one seemed to be interested/didn't finish.

Making game is not exactly hard, but it's a laborious task.

I'm having a blast tho.

Project NeueBauten (stupid project title) is an interactive narrative adventure based on the story of the most interesting man to have ever lived.

Bonus points for anyone who guesses who is him.

Any pixel artist here want to get commissioned?
Need lewd sprites/animations.

>>121329760
Overworld sprites*

>>121329760
Seems unlikely. Most of us aren't even using custom art for our own games. You'd do better looking elsewhere.

>>121329760
>>121329878
Which is it? Overworld or lewd sprites?

Just popping in here to ask a really quick question. Does MX have better font support now?
As in, bitmap/pixel fonts not being automatically blurred to shit, and/or higher resolution font rendering? Or is it still the same as VX Ace?

>Does MX have better font support now?
>As in, bitmap/pixel fonts not being automatically blurred to shit
Still as bad as Ace. If not worse. I had a pixel font I was using in Ace and it looks like shit in MV. There is a font plugin that may help this, but I haven't tried it out.
>higher resolution font rendering?
Dunno. Fonts do seem to be sharper in MV, but every font gets antialiased, so it still isn't good for pixel fonts.

>>121330169
Just ignore it. It'll go away. I've given him all the advice he needs to get his arts, but he doesn't seem to get it.

Boobs are no more heatsinks than they are coolsinks.

How's this idea?

The protag is a vampire and has been a vampire for quite some time. He almost never drinks blood, but because of it he's very weak, but he can get short term boosts from bloodpacks in battle and permanent stat boosts from draining bosses. Also, he doesn't have the sun weakness, since that wouldn't be very good for gameplay and original vampires didn't have it anyways.

>>121332581
Bakemonogatari's protagonist?

>>121332581
Replace blood packs with sardines, and you have Valvatorez.

>>121332581
>character profile: almost never drinks blood
>combat built around consuming blood all the time

>>121334282
Sounds like the character is the kind of guy to run from a fight than the kind to face it head on.

>>121332581
>>121334282
>>121334560
These points somewhat important.
Unless what you do can be made into a Blood gauge of some sort - the character focuses on getting super bloated on bosses and needs to more or less coast on the blood meter (used to use skills/fuel passive HP regen) until the next boss, making it imperative to wisely pick your mob fights (running often) and dissuades general grinding, kinda? Doesn't sound like it would be a typical JRPG character if the combat revolves around something like that, though.

Could someone guide me through how to recreate Witcher's Dice Poker in VX Ace, please? I want a gambling system that is fun and challenging.

Are you still here? If so what style for sprites do you need? I work with pixel art and sprite animations.

Poorfag reporting in.
For anyone who's bought CelIanna's Ancient Dungeons pack, is it worth the $25?

I put v[19] =+ z; in a damage formula for a skill
Why is v[19] resetting to Z everytime the skill is used?
Z should be getting added to its existing total every time

>>121339421
+=

>>121339583
Tried that, then using the skill doesn't change the variable at all.

>>121339421
MV or VXA?

>>121340180
MV.

>>121339690
Try initialising the variable, i.e. setting it to 0 at the beginning of the battle. For some reason, MV variables don't exist unless you do this.

>>121340428
Hey, that worked! Thanks anon. I didn't realize variables actually needed to be set, I thought they all defaulted to 0 and could be manipulated freely from there.

>>121340428
While you're still here, I don't suppose you know how to enforce a universal cap on a variable?

>>121340836
A true universal cap is a bit hard, but if you just want to cap a particular variable while incrementing it, you can use something like v[19] = Math.min(v[19] + 1, CAP).

>>121341109
It's gonna bloat out the damage formulas a bit but hey, it works.
Look at this crazy shit:

x = Math.floor((b.hp * (((b.bat + (b.atk * 10)) - (a.bdf + (a.def * 8))) * 0.01)) * 0.3); a.gainHp(-x); z = Math.floor(a.hp * (((a.bat + (a.atk * 10)) - (b.bdf + (b.def * 8))) * 0.01)); v[19] = Math.min(v[19] += Math.floor(z / 10), 100); z

>>121341109
Sorry, one more quick question: I know that it's possible to implement If branches into damage formulas, but I'm not quite sure how.
I'd like to have an If branch during the part of the formula that changes v[19].
Specifically:

If an enemy is using the skill, z is subtracted from v[19] rather than added to it.

If an ally is using the skill, z is still added.

Feel free to tell me to fuck off if I'm asking too many questions though.

Aww man you can embed youtube videos in rpgmaker MV, but when you hit play it says sorry there was an error. Wonder if there's a workaround.

As a shitty webdev it's really fun tinkering with MV since it's renders games in a node-webkit. Can finally relatively easily pause and seek in videos, always frustrated me.

>>121341847
s = a.isEnemy() ? -1 : 1; v[19] = Math.min(v[19] += Math.floor(z / 10) * s, 100)

Of course, then you might have to use Math.max() to make sure it doesn't go below zero...

I strongly recommend you get Yanfly's Skill Core so you can shove all of this in the notebox instead of the damage formula box.

>>121342176
>I strongly recommend you get Yanfly's Skill Core so you can shove all of this in the notebox instead of the damage formula box.
I did consider that, but that's using the Action Sequences, right?
Don't you have to set up all the graphics and animations when you're doing that? Or is there a way to only specify mechanical stuff and leave all the visuals at their default state?

>>121342327
No, there's a notetag that allows you to execute arbitrary code when you use a skill. The action sequences are part of the Battle Engine, which is a different plugin.

>>121342461
Ohh. My mistake. I'll go look into this then.
I sure hope you're still here in about ten minutes, anon.

I just finished Space Funeral.

Does this game have an explanation?

>>121342461
Started fiddling with it. It does seem like it'd be muuuch tidier to do things this way, but there are quite a few issues as well.
The a.gainHp(-x); part of my formula stops being accompanied by a damage popup, v[19] is altered even when the skill misses, and the skill seems to be broken for enemies (always does 50 damage for some reason).

So I might have to stick with the formula box method, even though it's clunky as all hell.

>>121343454
Yeah there's actually a bug with that plugin that treats everything as a Before Eval instead of what you specify it to be, which I suspect is the cause of some of those issues. (Yanfly hasn't noticed this, which I find a bit amusing.)

Anyway, if you're fine with the damage formula box then just go with that. A small warning though, if a battler has one of those skills, make sure you don't ever set them to autobattle. They will actually execute that formula to decide what move does the most damage.

>>121343790
Thanks for the warning. I don't intend to have autobattle in my game so I should be good.
Thanks for the help, too. All I need to do is add the Math.max in the right place and I think everything should be working perfectly.

>>121343235
It was a typical RPG world, but the pursuit of greater forms of existence ultimately broke everything down.
You go sort out shit over in the City of Forms which is where all this trouble started.
Basically, Plato is saying, "Damn the RTP graphics, damn graphics at all, go and follow your dreams"
Seriously. Theory of Forms.
Also, great soundtrack.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2FSqFxXeTY

Do ALL skills use that 'well, what is it' animation? I want a skill that uses the same sword swinging animation as the standard attack.

>>121345075
Wow, seems like the only way to do it is with Yanfly's plugin. That's such a basic feature that you really wouldn't expect to need a plugin for it.

If anyone download the version of Battle Commands I posted yesterday, it's broken beyond all fuck.

Way to kick a man while he's down
Do people even give a glance to RPGMaker games done with default stuff these days?

>>121329467
Try giving a larger timeframe
Let's make the goal finishing a game by Christmas, as a gift to the fellow posters

Variable 19 needs to be increased by 20 whenever an enemy dies in battle, and decreased by 20 whenever a party member dies in battle.
Besides creating a thousand If branches for every party member who could conceivably be participating in a battle, any ideas?
It'd be so great if it was possible to just write 'if guy in party slot #1 is dead'.

>>121348171
It's not like graphics are all that make a game good, the writing and gameplay are pretty defining factors too.

>>121349428
It doesn't matter how good your writing or gameplay are if people never even test your game because "hahaha using RTP using the char gen what a chump"

>>121349631
You know that's only some of the folks here right? A lot of people don't even know what RTP is and can't even tell if a game was made with RPG Maker. Hell, I'd still play a game with RTP so long as the rest of it was good.

>>121348171
>>121349428
>>121349631
>>121349727
>>121348776

Just make the fucking game and worry about original assets when it's finished. Common sense.

>>121349784
>basing an entire game based on default art assets and changing them when the game is over

That's terrible advice, man.

>>121348171
Marketing. Also, writing and coding. As has been said before, if you make something good, its easy to attract talent for the assets you lack.

For example, you can't even play my game yet. It's a Youtube series.
youtube.com/user/253entertainment
The combat is still way unbalanced outside of these highly-scripted boss encounters.

However, I did a good enough job pushing the project to get auditions from voice actors I feel I didn't deserve. At the end of the day, you have to give the audience an experience. It's about the whole overcoming the sum of its parts. Your belief in your project will drive it forward, everything else be damned.

>>121349631
There will always be people ready to deride you for using stock resources. This is RPG Maker, after all. They can complain 'til the cows come home, but the people who have RTP games up on Steam are laughing all the way to the bank. They believed in their project, and they completed it. That's the bottom line. If RTP helps you *finish* a project, then use the RTP and let the haters hate. A finished RTP project will always be superior to an unfinished, unreleased dream game with half-completed assets. Always.

Believe in yourself. Believe in your project. Do what is necessary to climb the mountain and release a finished product.

>>121349865
Unless you're making something with a narrative specifically tied to its aesthetics, graphics are and will always be a secondary feature. There is no downside to focusing on your game's presentation after the mechanics and content are finished.

>>121349865
Not that anon, but I don't think it's that bad, what makes it that much of a problem?

>>121349865
With enough business sense they can compile a demo and use that as leverage to commission an artist/composer. Nobody said the whole game had to be in a finished state to find outside help.

>>121349985
>There will always be people ready to deride you for using stock resources. This is RPG Maker, after all.

Look at LISA, it uses custom graphics and people still complain about how it was done in RPG Maker.

Just finish your game, if you can hire someone to make custom assets later then cool, if not then work with what you have. Maybe your next project will be better.

Ideas guy here with a mindblowing video game idea.
So, for my game.
Seriously guys, listen to my idea.
Okay so, there's this teenager okay.
Guys you have to listen properly.
So anyways, there's this teenager who becomes the chosen one and is the only one who can wield the giant sword of the chosen one. In order to restore peace, he goes around the world destroying evil and gathers companions to defeat the evil lord from hell.
What do you guys think?

>>121350475
There's no ancient evil that awakens?

>>121350385
This, seriously. I can imagine someone on /a/ lambasting animators for taking photographs and filtering them to use as backgrounds. Any kind of perceived shortcut can get you flak.

>>121350475
Epic. Simply epic.

Not completely original, but it can work. Who is the main character? How did they come to find out they were the Chosen One? What's the Evil Lord from Hell been up to before the Chosen One begins their quest?

>>121350631
The ancient evil was always residing on Earth and no one was aware of its presence!

>>121350670
The main character is Tyrone Smith. People acknowledged him as the chosen one when the Kool-aid tattoo was shined upon his wrist. The Evil Lord, Kyle King Klamson was gathering resources and followers to conquer the land above! It's all up to Tyrone to restore order and peace in the land of Srove Gtreet!

>>121351019

Also, my Battle Status Ex plugin has finally reached version 1,0. In the screenshot, you can see the 3 supported face states (in order from Debug1 to Debug3) Waiting, Inputting, Undecided.

Notetags, Actor:
<BattleFace state: index, graphic>
State is the actor's current state in battle. See the states section for more info.
Index is the index of the face in the faceset. It starts at 0 and goes to 7 by default. The first face in a faceset is 0 and the last one is 7.
Graphic is the filename of the faceset to use for this face. It must be located in the img/faces folder.

Try opening a skill window. It will be crunched up in the bottom-right corner of the screen.

This is what it should look like.

Is there a resource pack for the generator with more facial expressions?

>>121355014
Doesn't do either of those things for me. Instead the skill selection window overrides the main command window and appears in the same place, bottom of the screen, but not 'crunched up' and not towards the right.
And I'm fine with it, looks good.

Any SRPG plugins for MV yet or is VX Ace my best bet for making one?

>>121362243

>>121355052

Anyone?

>>121362243
That's a very complex modification. You're going to have to wait a while before one is available for MV - especially if your 'bar for entry' is something like GubID's system for VXA.

>>121364868
There's lots. Go grab stuff all willy nilly here:

>>121364986

It's not exactly my bar for entry.

I don't know JS at all, but part of me wonders if doing it via copious amounts of events is possible.

>>121365190
If you think of bathing in the eternal fires of hell as 'a hot bath' then sure, you could create such a system using events with enough time.

Just be sure that your 'masochist' checkbox is firmly ticked before doing so - especially if you want to include an AI for enemies and NPCs in such a system.

>>121365301

Oh well.

>>121365190

You probably could make a SRPG through events, but really, it's probably easier to learn JS than do something like that.

>>121365525

Every time I look at the scripts they scare me. Programming in general scares me.

>>121343235
A good question would be... Does it need one?

>>121365615
Event-code is just programming with macros/safety rails. It shouldn't scare you that much once you get to learn a couple bits of the language you intend programming for.

The Control Variable command, for instance, is just: "$gameVariable[indexOfArray] (add/sub/mod/mult/equals/etc) (number to add/sub/mod/etc)" and then a semi-colon.

How many of you are actually trying to make a game to sell?

>>121367551
I am - but it's not the MV project I'm working on right now. What I'm doing right now is just stretching my legs and exploring MV for the time being.

>>121367551
not me
i'm not talented enough and almost none of my assets are original by myself

i just want to have some fun and if possible make others having fun with my game too

>>121367551
I'm working on a free game that ties in to my wife's graphic novel. It could be a factor in book/online sales, so I guess the correct answer to your question is "kinda."

If it goes over well, I'll probably work on my own original concept.

>>121367551
The tilesets/pictures and the scripts are not mine so my game is going to be free as in free of charge.
I don't have the confidence to think people is going to play my game so that also kills the motivation.

Having a hard time editing sprites because im immensely untalented at it.

It was pretty easy to remove a characters arms and make it look like they were in an armbinder for VXAce, but MV's sprites are bigger and that makes it more difficult.

Bobstah, I'm not making a request here, I'd just like you to tell me how easy/hard this feature would be:
Scrolling numbers. Meaning instead of just going from 200 to 100 HP after an attack, you go 199 198 197 196 rapidly.

>>121369129
You probably want it styled like Earthbound, where if you heal before 0 HP, they live.

I'll talk about how hard it would be to do it without that.

Right now, there are no threading (timers in JS, basically) running that you can re-purpose for your own needs. You would have to modify the basic scene to call an update function inside of whatever loop is that waits for user input. You'd need to make that function empty at the Scene Base level, then overwrite the prototype at the Scene_Battle level.

Inside of Scene_Battle, you'd need to create a new object representing each actor currently in battle. Then, you'd need to set the actor's current target HP (meaning damaged or healed), and the amount that was done. Then, every action taken against said actor needs to evaluate the current HP tick, how many more ticks are remaining, and how much we are changing it on top of that.

I'd rather write a Dark Souls style messaging system for MV (which I'm totally going to do eventually).

>>121369808
Oh, no, I didn't mean scrolling numbers in any gameplay context. I meant pure cosmetics. Most RPGs do it.

>>121370047
>I'll talk about how hard it would be to do it without that.
I described how to do it without any gameplay context, anon. It would be much more difficult to do it with gameplay being a factor.

>>121370047
Like, your Hp goes from 200 to 100 in the span of a single second, but if you were to pause it during that second you might see a '164' or a '139'

>>121370202
Oh, sorry, reading comprehension is patchy today. Thanks for the answer.

>>121369808
Since I got a similar question as the other anon, I'd like to ask to you, Bobstah. Another feature I that like a lot, in Earthbound, is the 'SMAAAAAAAAASH' text and sound when there's a critical hit. How hard could it be to script it? As the other anon, not requesting, just asking.

Just to clarify, I'm not making neither Earthbound/Undertale styled game.

Would there be a way to circumvent the game-over screen?
Like rather than being sent back to your last save and reverting all your earned xp, found items, etc etc. it sends you back to a checkpoint.

>>121371503
Playing a sound on crit should be really easy. The special text would be a little difficult, and I'm not entirely sure how screen flashing works. It's probably just a function.

It would be easy to add a combat message that says SMAAASH! and play a specified sound effect during critical hit while flashing the screen once or twice. It wouldn't be all fancy, though. Drawing a picture inside of the message window might work too.

>>121372095
Isn't that already built in? Just set a "When Defeat" condition to a fight that teleports you back to an X,Y:M coordinate that you stored in variables.

>>121372134
I was more interested in a battle animation that makes, letter-by-letter, the word "SMAAAASH", but understood. Thanks!

>>121373709
Oh, battle animation should even be easier.
I'd say that a good fit for what you want would be 'Common Event on Crit', then you could add the animation etc there.

Hell /rpgmg/, I'm using VX ace with Mog's EX weather script (http://www.atelier-rgss.com/RGSS/System/ACE_SYS08.html), and I'm having some weird problems which are hard to figure out because I can't find any relevant posts online, so I'm gonna ask here.
Basically, I'm using this script for the much better than RTP rain effects, and for the most part, I'm happy with them. I have the rain script call on a parallel process in an event, and normally it looks good, but when I open a message box, the effects get thicker and brighter, as seen in the picture. I'm trying them in a new clean project so no other script is interacting with it. Also, the rain is basically invisible in a still which is why you can barely see it in the image. I'm beginning to think that its faintness is a result of me running the rain script in a parallel process and not an autorun event, but I really prefer the faint version. I don't really expect anyone to know how to help me, but if anyone here has used this script I'd appreciate anything you could tell me about how I'm being retarded.

>>121376405

>>121377115
I get that way a lot, where I get hung up on a specific idea or problem and then have trouble ignoring it. The reality, I find, is that it's always worth it in the long run to work on SOMETHING while you have motivation. That being said, this FUCKING RAIN GARBAGE is really annoying.
>>121376574
>>121376895
>>121376850
So I'm starting to wonder if the faintness of the effect when used as a parallel process is even intentional. I would not be surprised if something else is going on here. It could be that the version of the effect displayed during the text boxes and when using autorun for the weather is the correct one, which isn't worst case scenario because i can always draw my own rain sprite, but that raises the question of why this happens in the first place, IF that is the case. Sorry if I'm ranting, but typing stuff out helps me think.

My only guess would be that perhaps talking doubles the rain effect, causing the sprites to overlap which makes them appear thicker since it's transparency is cut in half.

Not really changing the map, just moving the actor from the land to the water. The graphics are just the actor getting a new sprite and the raft becoming transparent.

Why the fuck won't the RPG Maker devs release default assets that look like XP? This is what everyone wanted. Not the chibi horse shit that VX Ace and MV have.

Where were those pictures with the names of all the cover art characters again?

>>121427993
Haha, sorry. I'm in more an interface sprites sort of giving mood.

>>121430269
They're more partial to the whims of their fans in Japan and I guess people appreciated the chibi/anime art style in VX/VXA more than XP.

They'd probably consider releasing XP assets - if they knew there was profit beyond covering the costs to make a suite of XP-RTP style assets.

Also, it's worth noting that the assets shown in those shots came from the community - not the company. Inquisitor's tilesets are amazing but they're also not official.

As someone whose never used RPG Maker before should I just start out with MV? The resources at the top of the thread seem outdated and don't talk about it much.

>>121430269
The XP RTP was the most boring one of all visually. All the good stuff like the tiles in that screenshot were made by users.

>>121431694
There should be a trial for both VX Ace and MV. Try out both and then get the one you like the best.

>>121430269
Kids these days don't know what's good, that's why. Back then (<2005) RPG Maker had touch of Berserk in its arts, that's why they came up with semi-gritty tileset.

These days everyone wants to make SAO fanfics, that's why MV is all about expressive bubbleheads and everything is done in soft color and gradient.

Am I wrong in assuming I would need some kind of plugin in order to implement something similar to Etrian Odyssey-like binds in RPG Maker?

In case anyone is unaware, binds are like status ailments tied to different parts of the body (head, arms and legs) and when you're bound you're restricted from using abilities that use that body part (along with other effects, leg binds lower evasion and stop you from running away)

I don't normally work with just the RTP itself and it looks like each chapter is about an hours' worth of content. I'm concerned about how long it'll take me to get an hour in to the game if it took me 5 months to get an hour with totally custom content.

I dunno it's just shocking to hear how quickly you've put all that together compared to how slowly my prior work has gone.

>>121438773
I'm sorry. Please don't be angry at me.

>>121439293
I'm not angry. I'm impressed and a little intimidated.
Just kind of taken aback and wondering how much more gameplay content I could've made in the past two years if I used mostly RTP assets.

My chapter (Chapter 9) took two and a half weeks. It is probably one of the shortest chapters too, but I was eventing the main custom feature into a satisfying working state.

Some of the "long" chapters are just padded with battles anyway so you shouldn't really base yourself on those for the length.

tl;dr, Don't worry about how long your chapter has to be, if it's good and memorable, it'll be fine.

How do I check if a character step on a region in MV?

>>121438773
>>121439513
To be fair, it is kind of advised to be done with your chapter within about two weeks in that wiki page with the rules. We won't enforce it but it's generally encouraged to try and get it done in that timeframe, lest we have a repeat of that one incident.

You can't just say that and not tell us what happened, anon. Fill us in.

So, when we talk about cliches, it's usually centered around character tropes, but what about map tropes?

>>121442025
I worded that in a really overdramatic way, didn't I?

Well it's not much but it did almost kill the collab game. One of the guys took a few months to get his chapter done and it was kind of mediocre in the end. It honestly caused a lot of the interest in the collab game to flat out die for a long while. That chapter's the reason we even have a suggested time period for working. There was no limit before that.

I guess I'll just do my best! And stay under 2 weeks!

By putting an event on that region and select on-step-into interaction (as opposed to on-button-pushed).

>>121442214
Cultural cliches causes map cliches.

See? It's about the usual elves, the usual dwarves, the usual hobbits, the usual orcs, the usual dragons. Unusual creatures causes unusual maps. If you look at very old DND books (early Greyhawks, or the ever-venerable Spelljammer) it's full of maps that were anything but 'cliched'.

>>121442557
I think you saved it without knowing it. Having a 2 week deadline streamlines it, forces the contributor to work on it and discourages goofing off.

When a contributor offers to help, then you know they have time off to actually work on it because they know about the deadline.

So thanks anon. Whoever you may be.

>>121444462
It wasn't me who decided on the two week thing. I believe Duwang and another person, Cortop perhaps, were the ones who decided to set up the limit. I showed my support for it but I didn't decide on it personally.

Wait, is this why that one chapter was ridiculing the author of the previous chapter? It never occurred to me that such a thing happened to this collab.

I assumed it was the collab I was in, which did die...R.I.P. Alicia and Byrne

>>121445320
>I assumed it was the collab I was in, which did die...R.I.P. Alicia and Byrne

I was wondering what happened to that one. I recall we had a similar 1-2 week timeframe to work on things from the beginning. although I left before my part ever came around because I just go so burnt out creatively through my own game I just had nothing to offer.

Alright, I'm deploying this monitor add-on.
If you have any issues please let me know.

Note: This plugin doesn't adjust/override any base window settings. There are some overlaps. Also, the default assets are scaled to work with a screen resolution set to 1920x1080.

All you need to do to install it is extract it into your project's base folder and install/enable the plugin in the plugin manager. There are presently no settings to configure.

Is there a way to enable it for certain scenes but not all? Like character looking at a security camera feed?

>>121445320
>Wait, is this why that one chapter was ridiculing the author of the previous chapter?

Yes, yes it was. Needless to say people were pretty mad at him for what he did to the collab game. I do think the hate went overboard, though at least we have a stable workflow now because of it.

>>121446693
Yes. Lines 138 down are where the bitmaps are updated and drawn. I haven't found a good way to make it appear on only certain scenes yet.

A quick way to do it would be to wrap up those bottom sections in if(){} checks which reference a $gameSwitches[] variable, that way you can turn it on and off via a Control Switch event. I could do that for you if you'd like.

Right now though the script is either on or off and only applies to Scene_Map.

Just pointing out this earlier reply/offer in case you missed it. Hitting the sack now but I'll be back in 6-8 hours. Lemme know if you're interested and if so what you'd like.

The reply/offer being pointed out: >>121427858

>>121453452
I'll definitely take you up on that offer.

I'd want the art to be free to use in commercial and non-commercial games though, like all of my plugins. Does that work for you?

>>121445320
Sorry about that. In retrospect, I really wasn't in a good mental state at the time, and probably should have realized so sooner, before my part of the collab started up.

That's beautiful!

Does anyone here have a complete collection of oldies RPG Makers such as 95, 2000, 2003, XP? Or at least the tilesets? I need them for... research.

Hi /rpgmg/, hope everyone's having a nice comfy time working on their projects.

A while ago I started work on a project of my own and actually made some decent progress, but I hit a snag that, after spending literally two weeks trying to fix, ultimately led to the implosion of my enthusiasm. Maybe one of you can help get me back on track.

See, I have an ice-themed boss and I really wanted to make a cool ability set for it. Two of the skills were named "Freeze" and "Shatter" and they did pretty much what it says - the first one would freeze a character, then the second one was supposed to only be used if there's a frozen character on the field, and only on the frozen character.

I think I found a script that would make a skill only be usable if someone on the field has a certain status effect, but I could never get the skill to only target that specific character. Any ideas?

tl;dr: How do I make a skill which is only ever used on characters that have a certain status effect on them?

>>121458656
Oh shit, sorry. VXA.

>>121459132
Have the freeze skill set a switch, then have the enemy use a skill that calls a common event that checks the party for the first actor that has the Shattered state, then have the boss use the shatter skill on that actor.

I think.

>>121459269
I remember doing that. The problem with that is that if there is no one frozen that turn, the boss will waste its turn doing nothing, and I want to avoid that.

>>121459490
Have the skill that calls the common event only trigger if the freeze switch is set.

If no actors are frozen, have the boss execute a filler action instead? Whatever their standard attack or skill is, maybe. It would reward the player for not being frozen, or for curing the frozen status before the boss was able to act.

Or, change the damage formula on frozen to multiply the damage by the state being present, so that it does really low damage without the state but incredible damage with it.

>>121459902
XP is fugly as fuck

>>121459490
Why not make "Freeze" a Common Event in the first place? That way you can have a conditional branch where
>IF Frozen
>>Cast Shatter
>ELSE
>>Cast Freeze

>>121459902
>All those HoMM1/2 vibes
Beautiful.

>>121459742
I suppose I just wanna make it look and play out like it's not a workaround for something I was unable to do the way I intended.

I think the other problem with switches was that I couldn't set the freeze switch off if the status effect faded by itself. Which I suppose it shouldn't really be able to do, so this should work, I think. Thanks!

>>121460071
I can't believe I haven't thought of that. It's so obvious, holy shit.

I'll try it out tonight after I get back from work and report back. Thanks, Anon!

>>121460225
No problem. I spent like 2 years absolutely determined to never cop out with a script for the things I wanted to do. It led to all sorts of neat discoveries on how to work around the system. Even if they seem obvious in hindsight, a lot of it just wasn't easy to realize at the time.

IT WORKS. Now, I just need to add the socketed item's everything to the base item's everything.

Working with menus in VXA was always a struggle for me. This is the most accomplished I've felt working on a plugin so far.
