Apply damage to all simultaneously

[DarthKreggles]

I am sure this has been covered somewhere, but I can't, for the life of me, find it anywhere.

I have a shotgun weapon in my game that I want to hit all enemies simultaneously. I am using Yanfly's Weapon Unleash to swap out the normal attack command for a skill that hits all the enemies, but the damage is still applied one at a time with the annoying damage sound effect each time it is applied. I would rather have the damage applied to all enemies with no sound effect other than the animation sounds. Do I need a different plugin to accomplish this?

I'm new at this, so if there was an obvious way to do this that I missed, I'm sorry. Also I know basically nothing about scripting, but I am trying to learn, so if your suggestion involves scripting, please explain in layman's terms.

Coming at this sideways - in Yanfly's Battle Core plugin, is there anything about a tag you put in the skill note box telling it to do one animation for a multi-enemy skill?

The reason I am suggesting you look for this is that there is that tag in the Ace version, and I would be surprised if that hadn't been carried over into MV.

Can you show us a screenshot of your skill setup please?

If you are using YEP Action Sequence Packs (1, 2, 3) and want to deal damage to all enemies simultaneously, just put your action sequences which deal damage into <whole action> tags, then leave <target action> tags blank like this:

<whole action>
do something
action effect
</whole action>

<target action>
</target action>

@JamesRyan Ok. I used those in a previous project and I think I know what you're talking about. I will turn them on for this project and play around with it and see if I can get it to display the damage the way I want. I'll let you know if it works out.

EDIT:
@JamesRyan It worked!!!
On the skill page I added in the note section:
<whole action>
motion attack: user
action animation
wait for animation
action effect
</ whole action>

Thanks very much.

Do you know what the correct phrasing is to get it to wait X frames instead of waiting till the end of the animation?

 

[JamesRyan]

You can use this. Note that if you set your animation speed to 20 FPS, each frame of animation lasts 3. And if 15 FPS, each lasts 4.

WAIT: x

Or use:

ANIMATION WAIT: X

to wait the exact frames of each animation.

Thanks.
