Changing combat target indicator?

[Murg1]

Does anyone know how to change the way the target indicator works in sideview battle?

Currently when I target an enemy, it just flashes a subtle white. I would like to change it to make it more obvious.

If you don't know how to do it exactly, does anyone know where in the JS files the target indicator is set? I can try fiddling around from there.

I'll move this initially to JS Plugin Requests to see if anyone can just tell you what to do. If later on you decide that you to fiddle around with it yourself, it will have to go to Javascript/Plugin Support.

The white flash is handled via Sprite_Battler's updateSelectionEffect method (rpg_sprites.js):

Spoiler: Excerpt from base code

Sprite_Battler.prototype.updateSelectionEffect = function() {
    var target = this._effectTarget;
    if (this._battler.isSelected()) {
        this._selectionEffectCount++;
        if (this._selectionEffectCount % 30 < 15) {
            target.setBlendColor([255, 255, 255, 64]);
        } else {
            target.setBlendColor([0, 0, 0, 0]);
        }
    } else if (this._selectionEffectCount > 0) {
        this._selectionEffectCount = 0;
        target.setBlendColor([0, 0, 0, 0]);
    }
};

There are plugins available that grant battle cursor options, e.g.

• Yanfly's Battle Select Cursor: http://www.yanfly.moe/wiki/Battle_Select_Cursor_(YEP)
• MogHunter's Battle Cursor: https://atelierrgss.wordpress.com/rmv-battle-cursor/
