Action Sequence Nested IF

Action Sequence Nested IF 1.00

Hey everyone! I made a plugin that I think would be useful to hardcore action sequence makers!

**Introduction**

This is a really simple plugin. It allows you to nest IF statements in action sequences.

**How to Set Up**

Place this plugin below YEP_BattleEngineCore.

**How to use IF in Action Sequences**

To start an IF, use the following command:

     IF condition

The condition is whatever you would put in a normal JS IF statement.

Then end the IF with the following command:

     END

Here is an example:

     <Target Action>
     if user.mp > 100
     animation 5: target
     wait for animation
     action effect
     mp -100: user, show
     wait: 10
     end
     </Target Action>

You can also still use else and else if like this:

     ELSE
     ELSE IF condition

The condition follows all the same rules as the IF conditions

     <Target Action>
     if user.mp > 100
     animation 5: target
     wait for animation
     action effect
     mp -100: user, show
     wait: 10
     else
     animation 3: user
     wait for animation
     mp +50: user, show
     end
     </Target Action>

But Wait! There's more!
Now you can nest your if statements!

     <Target Action>
     
     if user.mp > 100
     animation 5: target
     wait for animation
     action effect
     mp -100: user, show
     wait: 10
     
     if user.hp > 100
     animation 3: user
     wait for animation
     action effect
     hp -100: user, show
     end
     
     end
     </Target Action>

In this example the user will do damage if their mp is OVER 100,
then do damage again if their hp is OVER 100. If their mp is
is UNDER 100 then nothing will happen. EVEN if their HP is 101+.

Since that if is inside the other if, it won't happen unless the
first IF's conditions are met. Nest IFs, just like JS!

I'm not a big Action Sequence user, so excuse my ignorance... But isn't this already a feature in Yanfly's plugin? What's the difference between the included feature and your addon?

From the help file:

=============================================================================
IF ... ELSE STATEMENTS
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
For those familiar with programming, you can use if...else statements to
perform different actions based on different conditions. Use 'if' to
specify a block of code to be executed, if a specified condition is true.
Use 'else'  to specify a block of code to be executed, if the same
condition is false. Use 'else if' to specify a new condition to test, if
the first condition is false. Use 'end' to specify where the conditions
are to end.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Usage Example:
    if $gameSwitches.value(1)
        action effect
    else if $gameSwitches.value(2)
        action effect
        action effect
    else
        action effect
        action effect
        action effect
    end

*Note: You do not have to indent the code in between to work. It just
looks better that way in your action sequences.

You couldn't nest if statements in the action sequences before using this plugin. The plugin was designed such that the first 'end' that it reads would close all if statements, instead of the current one.

if (something)
 stuff
 if (something else)
  optional stuff
 end
 more stuff
end

That above sequence would originally only do stuff, and possibly optional stuff, but never more stuff... If that makes sense.

@ramza

Makes perfect sense. Like I said, I'm not a big Action Sequence user, so I've never attempted to nest IF statements with them. I had to ask to make sure. Thanks!

Just a note for anyone using SRD's Timed Attack Core plugin (and any of the add-ons for it), you have to place this plugin above those otherwise it seems to make them not function at all.

Edit:
No intention of Necro-posting. This is a very handy plugin!

OMG, I lost two days of my life and a great deal of hair not knowing Yanfly Action Sequences does not support nesting. I F*** love you for this plug in.

So from what I understand, you can set conditions on your action sequences. So can I make so if the character is going to land a critical hit, it does a different animation? For example, the way it works on Chrono Trigger and Persona 4 where the MC does a normal slash but on critical hit, the MC jumps into the enemy and does multiple slashes. Can this plug in do that?

 

[Magusalfador]

Hmm I dont know how to check if the hit will be critical so it does another animation. what you can do is your own critical system in your attack skill and then in that case is possible. Like:

random numer between 1 and 100
if its 4 or less
do critical animation
else
do normal attack anmation
