[ACE]Problem with Symphony and holders add on.

Hi!

Both scripts seems to work fine but, for some reason some animations dont play, for example the "advance-attack-retreat" animations dont play when attacking or the "struck" animation dont play when the user gets hit, in fact I think only the "idle", "woozy", "death" and "victory" animation play.

I dont know Ruby but im a C# programmer so I went  into the script to see what could I do, and I found this: 

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------  # self.index_hb  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------  def self.index_hb(pose)    case pose    # array = [row, frames]    # frames is optional, default is 15    when :idle      array = [0, 12]    when :struck      array = [3, 10]    when :woozy      array = [2, 12]    #---    when :victory      array = [10]    when :defend      array = [1, 5]    when :dead      array = [12]    #---    when :attack      array = [4, 4]    when :skill      array = [6, 6]    when :magic      array = [7, 6]    when :item      array = [5, 6]    #---    when :advance      array = [8, 5]    when :retreat      array = [9, 5]    else; array = [0, 12]    end    return array  endso I started changing it, but it does nothing. changing of this the row or the number of frames does nothing at all, it plays the same animations even If I change the row of the idle animation the same animation still plays.

    

Im using other scripts. like from Victor's Multiframe, diagonal movement, pixel movement, active time battle and I have removed some to see if it was that but so far I have removed, active time battle, multiframe, character control and change the order of the scripts but no luck so far...

 

Any idea what could it be?

...until the end.I think you want to modify these, and the AutoSymphony section. But from what I can see, the settings are already correct....

Or perhaps the battler is not registered as Holder somehow?

I see, it seems the attack stance and the other animations that don't play are not being called somehow, because I just changed the row from the Idle animation to the attack animation and now the character plays the attack animation instead of the idle so its like the attack stance its not being called or something, I don't know, I don't know ruby.

There it says 

These are the default item actions for all Items. Battlers will play these

    # actions when use an Item unless You customize it with Symphony Tags.

 

And I have a skill that uses tags and it calls the attack stance and still the attack animation doesn't play.

 

<target action>move user: forward, 6, waitstance: user, attackanimation 91: taget, waitskill effect: dmg, calcmove user: originstance: user, idle

This happens will all the battlers by the way. including enemies. 

By the way, I removed ALL the scripts except for the symphony engine and the holders add on to see if was a compatibility issue but nope still doesn't play the animations  .

EDIT: it occurs to me that maybe the version that I have of the holders add on is outdated? 

I got it from here:

https://github.com/suppayami/rmvxa-collection/blob/master/battle-symphony/add-on/Holder-Battlers.rb

and it says it was last updated 2013.02.01 maybe there is a newer version somewhere...

Found the problem.

I don't know what CBS add-on is, but in Yami BattleSymphony line 1459 onward, there is this.

return if !$imported["BattleSymphony-HB"] || !$imported["BattleSymphony-CBS"] #--- targets.each { |target| next unless target.exist? next if !target.use_hb? || target.use_cbs?Perhaps it is a planned plug-in, as I cannot find that reference to CBS anywhere else in the script, and it is added on Symphony version 1.16b, which I have not updated to in my own project.The easy solution is to comment out those parts, like so:

    return if !$imported["BattleSymphony-HB"] #|| !$imported["BattleSymphony-CBS"]    #---    targets.each { |target|       next unless target.exist?      next if !target.use_hb? #|| target.use_cbs?

Wow man you rock!

it works now!

I know what CBS is, its a battle system where you can see the order of the actions (Like FF X).

Thanks a lot!
