DoubleX RMMV Unison Item

[EastsideTrouble]

Also, another issue.  If I try to select items from the battle screen, I get a crash.  Below is the error report.  Sorry for the additional trouble

These errors should be fixed, so you may want to download Unison Item Default(or just the whole updated rar) again

Hey I'm having a problem with the plugin.  Whenever I use it the Unison Attack plays perfectly, however all of my other actions lose their basic attack animations but it still plays the damage animation.  My actors just freeze in combat, except for the Unison Attacks, they both jump forward as planned.  I've tried rearranging my list of plugins and I have also turned all of my other plugins off and it still happens.  I have not edited anything within the script.  So maybe it could have something to do with the rules/functions that needed to be edited, but I'm unsure.

May you please list all the pluguns you're using(preserving their ordering) and post a video to illustrate your issue?

It may take me a couple days to send screenshots/videos because I don't have a great internet connection but I will do it as quick as possible.

It looks great. Thanks. Can't wait to check any MV games using this plugin.


BTW, are there any options that the spell could be casted as normal/unison spell?


It will be nice in ATB. For example, after Horald cast Fire, Marsha cast Wind and then the spell becomes "Fire Tornado"


Fire + Fire > Explosion


Fire + Wind > Fire Tornado


Wind + Water > Water Tornado

In this case, I think Jay's Dual Tech System will be more suitable

Thanks. I will take a look.


Though I am talking about the weird(?) battle system in "The Legend of Heroes III: Song of the Ocean"


For instance, Horald cast Earth spell and during charging period, Marsha come and cast Wind spell and it becomes Earth + Wind unison spell.


If Marsha did not come on time, then it's just a simple Earth spell.

OK sorry it took so long, but here is the list of plugins I am currently using.  The video shows that the first action used is the unison attack, second action is a standard attack action (which shows no animations), then lastly I use a skill from both actors and the animations work.  While doing this test I turned all plugins off except the two Unison plugins.

I think you'll have to give me your project so I can check what's going on, as I think it's a compatibility issue

Thanks. I will take a look.

I guess you'll have a better bet to ask HeroicJay to make his/her plugin support that, and it seems to me that an ATB/CTB system plugin will be needed as well, so your request will likely be indeed a compatibility issue for him/her to handle

What exactly would I have to send you?  The project folder?  It will probably take a little while to send it to you though.

Yes, the folder. You may want to send it via pm though

I am having a problem when I give an actor a unison skill but a or more party members are before them then they can cot use the skill. Like if actor 4 has it then they can not use it at all because the other get to pick what to do before them. please can someone help me.

Assuming that you're talking about the default battle system, it's actually the intended behavior.
It's because in order to use an unison skill/item, all the unison actors must have at least 1 available action slot.
On the other hand, in your example, the very moment you've reached actor 4 means that all the actor 1,2 and 3 have used up all their action slots as they've selected the skills/items to be used.
Therefore, in order to use that unison skill/item in your case, you'll have to cancel all the selected actions of all the previous actors, until the 1st unison actor has at least 1 available action slot.

If you think the intended behavior shouldn't be this, I'd like you to give me some suggestions
For instance, if you think the plugin should let actor 4 select such unison skill/item by overriding 1 of the action slot of the previous unison actors, I'd have to make some overriding rules(like 1st/last/1st non unison/last non unison) to let the plugin users to choose. However, I'm pretty sure that the rule would lead to extremely confusing behaviors to plugin users and the players of their games, and the compatibility issues of this plugin would be so complicated and convoluted that I don't think I'd be able to deal with most of them

How do I cancel them how can I get actor 4 to be able to use there unison skill? Thanks

In the default battle system, when you've reached actor 4, you can simply repeatedly press the cancel key(It's likely ESC but you need to check your key mapping) to cancel the previously selected actions for the previous actors, until it goes back to the 1st unison actor. Then that actor should be able to select the unison skill, as long as all the other conditions are met for all the unison actors involved(like the mp/tp cost)

That would let actor 1 use a unison skill not actor 4 how do I let actor 4 be the one to use it?

I'd like to know the difference between actor 1 being the user and actor 4 being the user
If you're concerned about the stats(like atk, mat) in the damage formula, you can change the parameter unisonFunctionRule, use the notetag <unison item function rule: rule> and <unison item function actors: ids>, and change the configuration RULES.
If you're concerned about the costs(like mp, tp), you can use the notetag <unison item actor mp cost: costs> and <unison item actor tp cost: costs>.
After all, the default battle system forces actor 1 to select all actions before actor 4 can select anything, so letting actor 4 use unison skill involving actor 1 rather than the other way around is going completely against the default battle system

Story the skill is meant for actor 4 also so that it does not meter were the members are at like if I have 8 member and switch them around I can still use the skill. Like if a skill use actor 3 and actor 6 but actor 3 has it but I switch actor 6 in so they are in actor 2 spot the I can still use the skill would be nice.
