RMMV An ATB system that ticks slower when choosing a move

[zander65]

Hello, I need help in finding a plugin that allows the ATB timer to keep ticking but at a slower pace when choosing a move. It seems that if I go with it ticking at full speed it then becomes too intense but if I don't have it tick at all it becomes too boring. So a middle ground would be perfect.

I've moved this thread to Plugin Requests. Thank you.

Which ATB plugin are you using? Screenshot(s) of your Plugin Manager might help.

As far as I know, so far only my Superlative ATB has built-in support for this feature, and this can be done by setting the following parameters:

isATBWaitCondMet -

return false;

This sets the ATB timer to always keep ticking.

coreBaseFillATBFrame -

if (this._actorWindow.active) return 1200.0;
if (this._enemyWindow.active) return 1200.0;
if (this._skillWindow.active) return 1200.0;
if (this._itemWindow.active) return 1200.0;
if (this._actorCommandWindow.active) return 1200.0;
if (this._partyCommandWindow.active) return 1200.0;
return 600.0;

If the parameter _coreBaseFillUnit is set as coreBaseFillATBFrame, then without any speed modifier like agi, 600 frames will be needed to fully fill an ATB bar from empty when not choosing a move, whereas 1200 seconds will be needed when choosing a move.

this._actorWindow.active checks if you're selecting an actor target.
this._enemyWindow.active checks if you're selecting an enemy target.
this._skillWindow.active checks if you're selecting a skill.
this._itemWindow.active checks if you're selecting an item.
this._actorCommandWindow.active checks if you're selecting an actor command.
this._partyCommandWindow.active checks if you're selecting a party command.

coreBaseFillATBSec -

if (this._actorWindow.active) return 10.0;
if (this._enemyWindow.active) return 10.0;
if (this._skillWindow.active) return 10.0;
if (this._itemWindow.active) return 10.0;
if (this._actorCommandWindow.active) return 10.0;
if (this._partyCommandWindow.active) return 10.0;
return 5.0;

If the parameter _coreBaseFillUnit is set as coreBaseFillATBSec, then without any speed modifier like agi, 5 seconds will be needed to fully fill an ATB bar from empty when not choosing a move, whereas 10 seconds will be needed when choosing a move.
