Question of curiosity:


Is this compatible with Yanfly's battlecore/scripts? Because whenever I use the both of them, all is fine and dandy until it's the enemies turn and they keep continuously attacking till my team is dead.


Edit: So I've decided to place all your battle plugins at the bottom of my plugins list. Once again, it's all fine and dandy, but then you get locked/frozen in the command menu and you cannot do anything at all.

 

Have you tried DoubleX RMMV Popularized ATB Compatibility? If not, then let's try this and see if anything changes.


Otherwise you may want to use a video to illustrate the issue

 

Hey-ho.


When 2 characters fill up their bar at the exact same time, you first get to input actions for both and then they are executed.


Could we have an option to execute actors instantly after they are selected, even if they fill their bar at the same time?


Eg:


Select action actor 1.


Actor 1 attacks.


Select action actor 2.


Actor 2 attacks.

 

* @param wait_cond_code
* @desc Sets the atb wait condition code as wait_cond_code
* Available atb wait condition codes:
* full - Wait only when a message's showing or an event's running
* act - Wait when an action's executing as well
* target - Wait when the target selection window's shown as well
* item - Wait when the skill/item selection window's shown as well
* "Wait when players can input actions as well" will be used if
* wait_cond_code doesn't return any available code
* Only 1 battler can execute actions at a time
* Only 1 action can be executed at a time
* @default full


I assume you've set wait_cond_code as an unavailable code, otherwise I don't think this situation's even possible at all.


In this case, I'd propose adding a parameter like this for the upcoming version:


* @param max_linked_input_actors
* @desc Sets the maximum number of inputable actors that can proceed
* inputting actions without any of them actually starting to charge
* or execute any inputted ones as max_linked_input_actors
* max_linked_input_actors should return the same value during the
* same battle
* @default 0


I already have a way to implement this, but I won't be free until this Saturday

 

Correct, I am using unavailable wait cond.


And that'd be great, thanks.

 

Updates

Code:

 *      v1.02a(GMT 0600 20-8-2016):                                           
 *      1. Added max_linked_input_actors                                      

 

Hey  thanks for the great plugin


I'm using this with your SE script for it, and it doesn't work, even in a new project! Anyone else having this problem?

 

May you please elaborate on this issue? Like how exactly it doesn't work?


Also, please ensure the filename of that SE script is properly set:

Code:

 * The plugin file name must be the same as DoubleX_RMMV.PATB_SE_File, which
 * must be edited by editing the plugin js file directly
 * The default value of DoubleX_RMMV.PATB_SE_File is
 * DoubleX RMMV Popularized ATB SE v100a

 

The plugin doesn't cause any errors, and I didn't change the filename so it shows just fine in the list with all the parameters functioning. I have it below the core plugin as well. The problem is that regardless of what SE I pick, I hear no sound when an actors turn comes up, although all other sounds work just fine.


Basically, everything else about the plugin works perfectly, just for some reason the SE does not play. I thought it may have been a compatibility issue, (even though I have your fix) so I started up a new project with just your ATB core and SE...but still no luck. Having a tough time figuring out what I'm doing wrong here.

 

It turns out that it's because I've updated the core plugin, and that update breaks the SE plugin.


So I've just updated the SE plugin. I've tested and it should work now. Sorry for giving you such a huge trouble

 

No problem at all, working great now. Thanks again!

 

Is it possible that max_linked_input_actors isn't quite working?


I set it to 1 but if 4 actors finish charging at the same time, I still have to input all of their actions before they'll start executing them.


(On Undefined wait_cond_code of course.)


Tried in a fresh project with nothing besides Popularized ATB Core.

 

I think you may want to send me your project this time so I can diagnose the issue, as my test cases have no such issue

 

Updates


* v1.02b(GMT 0500 17-9-2016):
* 1. Fixed max_linked_input_actors not working when there are 3+
* inputable actors at the same time with no one having Action Times +
* 2. Lets you set max_linked_input_actors as negative to disable it


P.S.: max_linked_input_actors won't work well with any inputable actor having Action Times+, which can only be fixed by rewriting the entire PATB system, so I don't think I'll go for that extra mile

 

Hey DoubleX, in this thread by Yanfly, he mentions some problems with his ATB scripts, which makes me hesitant to use them. Have you experienced any of those problems?
