Different Side Battling System

[DenzelRoy]

Before I say anything, this is my very first post on this site. If I did something wrong, I apologize.

I was wondering if there is a side battling system where you see the art of both sides, but NOT with sprites. I know how to make the enemy's non-sprite art go in battles with the current scripts I find, but I can't seem to make anything work with non-sprite art with your allies. Everything I find uses sprites, but that's not what I want. Is there something out there that allows this?

You mean battlers for your party?


If you already have a battle script that you like that does everything you want APART from this, give us a link to it. It will be easier to modify an existing script to use battlers instead of sprites, than to create a new one that uses ANY visual for your party.

This might be what your looking for.

For that one, you don't use character sprites. It could be anything. A pikachu. A owl. A gigantic killer robot in replacement for Eric . But yeah, this is what I used to use.

Yes, I forgot about that one. The most you might have to do is change the screen_x and screen_y methods to place them differently, if you don't want them all in a straight line, or if you want them across the bottom, for example.

I've been messing with it for a while, and it's doing nothing. all I see is the enemy on the screen, even though I put the file Eric_battler in the battler's file and messed with screen_x and screen_y. It's just as if I never installed the script.

Did you put the script in the right place, under the Materials heading? Do you have other scripts installed?

 

[DenzelRoy]

I put it under materials, and I actually deleted all my other scripts to make sure they aren't interfering, but nothing is happening.

And your battlers are in the Battlers folder?


Your battlers should be single sprites, not spritesheets, and with very little whitespace around them. Are they? Can you load one up?

and is your actor really named Eric?

 

[Shaz]

lol! Good point. But wouldn't it throw an error if you were trying to load a sprite that didn't exist?

 

[Engr. Adiktuzmiko]

just making sure everything is covered... lolz... though yeah, it should throw an error or something... so maybe the sprite is there at the right place and the coordination of names is good too...


in which case, make sure you also saved the game first


you can also try giving a higher screen_z

Thank you very much! All I needed to do is mess with screen_z! xD thank you so much for the help, everyone!
