DoubleX RMVXA Counterattack Edit  v1.05b​

Compatibility Fix

DoubleX RMVXA Counterattack Compatibility Fix

Introduction

In the default setting, the counterattack skill's id is always 1(Attack). This is hardcoded(can only be modified by scripts).

With this script, it can be altered but its scope is set to a single target and its repeat is set to 1(which are intended).

(v1.01a+)Allows users to set whether magic evasion invokes counterattack

(v1.02a+)Allows users to set whether counterattack messages will be shown
(v1.03a+)Allows users to set whether counterattack negates hits

(v1.04a+)Allows users to set actor's counterattack skill needs to be learnt

(v1.05a+)Allows users to keep counterattack skill's animation, scope or times

Features

Use of notetags(requires knowledge of notetag usage) to alter battlers' counterattack skills' id via notetags in the related actors', classes', equips', enemies' or states ' notebox

A way to set all counterattack skill id without using notetags(but they still take precedence over this)

v1.01a+:

Use of notetags(requires knowledge of notetag usage) to set battlers having chance based on their CNT to invoke counterattack upon successful magic evasion in the related actors', classes', equips', enemies' or states ' notebox

A way to set all battlers having such chance without using notetags(but they still take precedence over this)

How to use

The default Counter Attack function in VXA always causes the attacker to miss before a counter attack is triggered. Does this script let the attack follow normal attack processing first? By normal attack processing, I mean factoring in the normal hit chance, elements, damage formulas, etc.

- Allows users to set whether counterattack negates hits

DoubleX - first off, great script.

Secondly, I'm trying to get this to work (counterattack negates hits FALSE), but no matter what - the original hit is negated. I've tried reordering the scripts and right now I haev them in this order:

- counter

- yanfly battle

- counter fix

Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

 

[DoubleX]

Unfortunately, I can't even reproduce the error. I followed your script ordering and uses no other custom scripts and counterattack negates hits FALSE works for me.

Maybe you'll want to send me your project so I can see if there's anything strange

 

[oldbone]

Sure, sent you the link to a new project with only these 4 scripts:

- counter

- yanfly core

- yanfly battle

- counter fix

Maybe we're misunderstanding each other? I assumed setting the below item to FALSE would result in a normal hit, followed by the counterattack:

CNT_Negate_Hit = falseBut, as you can see in the demo, the actor takes no damage (like a miss) and performs the counterattack.

Thanks!

I've checked your project and I find that my counterattack script there isn't complete. It seems to me that you thought the spoiler just below the introduction of this topic is the entire script, while in fact the whole script has to be downloaded from the attachment at the bottom of this topic. It's 100% my fault that I didn't make it crystal clear, and from now on I'll consider stating explicitly that that spoiler isn't the entire script

Maybe something like:

(It's just the user edition region of this script. The attachment at the bottom is the complete script)

will make things crystal clear

 

[oldbone]

Omg - what a total tool I am. Sorry you had to suffer through my stupidity!

I'm having trouble with a script error stating that a value or method cnte on the line I've starred down below, and I have not edited this script.

    scope.each { |s|

      repeats.times {

The attatched file is the error message I get when the counter is attempted via state. I have only this script and a limit edit script, and removing the limit edit did nothing

Maybe I've accidentally uploaded a wrong version of this script. I've just doubled checked the newest version and the code isn't the same. I've reuploaded that new version so you may want to try to download it again and see if anything changes

Fixed, thanks a bunch!
