Current Enemy Selected

[Milena]

I would like to know how to know which current enemy I am selecting when I am in battle. When I say current enemy, say I select Attack, it gives me the chance to select among all my targets who to attack, right? I want to know how to get that enemy's id and battler name. What code am I looking into?

Do you want to know on target selection or when the Acton get actually executed? Asking since you can Cancel a order by pressing esc.

Yeah exactly on target selection

target, under game action apply would work.

It needs to be on Scene_Battle, or else my array that's in scene_battle that checks which ID the enemy won't work :/

 

[DarknessFalls]

um in battle you can dot is target instance of game_enemy, taget.id or something simmalr will give you enemy id.

 

[Jeremy Cannady]

$gameTroop._enemies[0]._selected   returns true or false if the enemy is current being selected in battle.

Note: enemy 1 is _enemies[0]

From there you can get the enemy id.

You probably want Game_Battler.prototype.select

Game_Battler.prototype.select = function(select){ return function(){ // in this particular instance `select.call(this)` would have suffice select.apply(this, Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments)) if (this instanceof Game_Enemy) { console.log("It's a me, ", this) } else { console.log('Target here is a friend', this) } } }(Game_Battler.prototype.select)Since it's a Game_Battler, you should check if this is instanceof Game_Enemy, since also Game_Actor is a Game_Battler (you can see this by using Heal, for example).
