Change Battle Back During Battle - No Scripts

[ThatMaestroGuy]

Ugghh...I feel like I'm flooding this section with questions (even though this is only my second one). Sorry! D:

I'm trying to change the battle back during a battle for dramatic effect. The thing is, I cannot use any scripts to do so. It's not that I don't want to use scripts, but the challenge set before me is preventing me from using any...period. So I'm trying to do such with commands and such.

I figured that I'd be able to change the battle back using the "Change Battle Back" command, but it doesn't seem to be letting me do it while I'm already in a battle. I changed the settings on the map and on the Troop tab in the database, but both seem to do nothing when that command is put in during a battle. I might have thought that I was doing something wrong with the battle events, but the rest of them prior to this command and after all seem to be working just fine...help!

Again, a major thanks in advance for the help...if this is possible to do without scripting. If it's IMPOSSIBLE to do, well...I suppose that can't be helped, right? =P But thanks for your time, anyway!

Well, you can use script event lines right???


now if even that is prohibited, then I don't think there's a way

 

[ThatMaestroGuy]

Ah, Engr. Shana, you've come to my rescue yet again! Thanks for the information! I suppose I'll just leave it with one particular battle back for now, then. XD

There is a way. In troops tab:

Change Battleback to your desired graphic.

Script Call: SceneManager.scene.refresh_battleback

This will only work if you play in-game from Map -> Battle and not in test play.

 

[Engr. Adiktuzmiko]

I think he thinks he cannot use even a script call or something for the contest... well, at least I asked him on my post and based on his reply, I think he thinks that

 

[Archeia]

No you can't use scripts but you can definitely use script calls from DEFAULT functions.

That's like banning $game_variables which doesn't make sense.

 

[ThatMaestroGuy]

Really, Archeia? That's awesome!

Only problem now is that I've no idea what you mean by your command of "Script Call: SceneManager.scene.refresh_battleback." I'm quite a newb when it comes to scripting much of anything, and I don't understand it...but I'm willing to learn! Can you please explain what it is you mean by that? Or what it is I have to do, exactly? Sorry, again, for the questions/overall newbie-ness! D:

When I tried this, it ended up crashing the game because of an error.  I'm assuming we are both working on the boss battle contest.

Script 'Game_Interpreter' line 1411: NoMethodError occurred.
undefined method 'refresh_battleback' for

#<Scene_Battle:0x92d91d8>

Indeed. Likewise. Blargh...after this entry is done, I SERIOUSLY need to start learning more about scripting and using more than just events to solve all of my problems. =\

The problem is that we aren't allowed to make our own scripts or this would be so much easier.

So for someone who doesn't know how to do it from reading this whole topic 

How would I change battle back mid-battle because I hadn't thought of that as of yet.

(Script, Script call, or otherways is fine by me.)

There is a way. In troops tab:

Script Call: SceneManager.scene.refresh_battleback


This will only work if you play in-game from Map -> Battle and not in test play.

I don't remember seeing any method like "refresh_battleback" anywhere


Or was this added in 1.02?

 

[Engr. Adiktuzmiko]

@Tsukihime - I think ur right, because he said he was getting errors.


I think this is how to do it:


1)Use the event commands for changing battlebacks


2)Remove the old battlebacks from Spriteset_Battle


3)Re-call the create_battleback1 and create_battleback2 methods of Spriteset_Battle

 

[ThatMaestroGuy]

So...use the event command to change the battleback to what I want in the Battle Event window...open up the script editor, find where all of the battlebacks are listed, delete them all, and then...I don't know. As newbish as it sounds, I've never used the "Common Events" feature of VX Ace, nor do I understand how to use the "Call Common Events" command. I apologize for my newbishness in advance. :<

 

[Engr. Adiktuzmiko]

no I don't mean opening up the scripts and delete, how can you even do that in-game?


Though I'm not sure if the battleback sprites are accessible without a small edit to the scripts
