Coding Troubles

[LightDiviner]

So, I'm trying to code a skill with the Yanfly Battle Core Engine. I kind of have it working, but for some reason, it does the normal attack first, then after the normal attack, it uses my coded version. Could someone help me find out what I did wrong?

<Target Action>

immortal: targets, true

perform action

motion wait: user

action animation

wait for animation

action effect

action effect

action effect

action effect

action effect

action effect

action effect

action effect

action effect

action effect

action effect

action effect

action effect

action effect

immortal: targets, false

</Target Action>

And yes it's meant to be an ultimate attack of death, that's why there are so many action effect's

Why is perform action there? Also what is your setup action? My guess would be to remove perform action. Also your animation will play completely before any effect is applied and it would mean alot of standing there while damage or whatever played, might I suggest a
action animation
wait: 20 (or however long you want)
action effect
action effect
action effect
action effect (as many as you want)
wait for animation

I'm still new to the whole coding thing.

@LightDiviner
I would suggest looking through the FIRST few pages of this thread: https://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/inde...ction-sequence-sharing-and-discussions.46691/
There's some really great action sequences. I would copy and paste some into your skills and you'll start to see how the notetags are structured and what does what. Then one day it'll click.

immortal target arguments and perform start should be placed in <setup action> and <finish action> headers. (perform action is the same as action effect if i remember correctly). So to break yours down you would build it like so:

<setup action>
perform start <- this is to move the user forward
immortal: targets, true
</setup action>

<target action>
action animation
wait for animation
action effect
action effect
action effect
action effect
(... and so on for number of hits)
</target action>

<finish action>
perform finish <- this returns the user home
immortal: targets, false
</finish action>

Also if you follow the link in my sig, I build action sequences for members who make requests and try to help others achieve their ideal sequences providing either complete action sequences or general help if they choose to try to build them on their own. You are welcome to post some questions on specific sequences in the thread there or if you need more generalized help, you can also PM me and I will do my best to assist.

Cool, thanks. To be hoenst I was trying to make an attack sequence for Neutral 3...but looking at it now I don't think it fits.
