About Battle Start and All That,

[The Lucid Gamer]

I was wondering for those familiar with Ruby Scripting if there was a way to delay the Battle BGM from playing until the Battle Start animation was done. Say if I wanted to have the animation play, it cuts the area bgm as normal, but it waits until the animation is finished and a battle begins before starting the bgm. I wanted to know if there was a way to do this without adding a prominent silence at the beginning of the track file, as I didn't want to have a really weird loop during battle.

Try to put this short script into your script editor

class Scene_Map
  def pre_battle_scene
    Graphics.update
    Graphics.freeze
    @spriteset.dispose_characters
    BattleManager.save_bgm_and_bgs
    #BattleManager.play_battle_bgm
    Sound.play_battle_start
  end
end

class Scene_Battle
  alias start_bgm_delay start
  def start
    start_bgm_delay
    BattleManager.play_battle_bgm
 end
end

Thank you!


If you don't mind, I made a quick edit for the effect I was thinking of:

class Scene_Map
  def pre_battle_scene
    Graphics.update
    Graphics.freeze
    @spriteset.dispose_characters
    BattleManager.save_bgm_and_bgs
    RPG::BGM.stop
Graphics.wait(30)
    Sound.play_battle_start
  end
end

class Scene_Battle
  alias start_bgm_delay start
  def start
    start_bgm_delay
    BattleManager.play_battle_bgm
 end
end

This was very helpful, and I wish you a good day.
