DoubleX RMVXA Bug Fixes to YSA Battle System: Classical ATB


YSA Battle System: Classical ATB(Created by Yami)


Introduction


With this script, each failed escape clears charge bar and consumes 1 action time of all battlers. Those with action times <= 1(0 here means atb bar not full) will have atb bar cleared after a failed escape.

# This feature needs

# ESCAPE_COOLDOWN, default = 0
# All party members will cooldown with rate ESCAPE_COOLDOWN after

How to use

FAQ
Q1: How can I set ESCAPE_CONDITION without any scripting nor YSA-CATB scripts knowledge? For me its default value is just incomprehensible.


A1: You can ask here for ways to setup specific escape conditions but I don't think I'm good enough to be a scripting teacher(and I used an entire week just to briefly understand the original YSA-CATB script)

I'm glad I found this script, I was testing out battles and thought "Man, I can just spam Escape and at some point, I'll probably be able to." With this, it makes escaping during battle much more fair. Thank you.

I plugged this and the prerequisite Bug Fix patch in. Now, whenever I'm in battle, the escape menu doesn't come up at all. This is using the classical atb and Symphony Engine for side view. Have you seen this before?

 

[DoubleX]

May you please post a video and/or give me your project so I can know more details about this?

Whups someone warned me to just message directly instead of having the whole game up.

My testing shows the escape works fine without the escape add-on script. I did not have any issues getting to the escape option.

 

[DoubleX]

I think it's due to this configuration:

    # This feature needs decent understanding of RGSS3 and YSA-CATB scripts
    # ESCAPE_CONDITION, default =
    %Q(@action_actors.size < $game_party.members.size ||
    @action_actors.any? { |actor| actor.catb_action_times < ESCAPE_ACTION ||
    actor.ct_catb_value > 0 ||
    $imported["DoubleX RMVXA Cooldown Addon to YSA-CATB"] &&
    actor.cd_catb_value > 0 })
    # ESCAPE_COMDITION must be met to be possible to make a party escape
    ESCAPE_CONDITION = %Q(@action_actors.size < $game_party.members.size ||
    @action_actors.any? { |actor| actor.catb_action_times < ESCAPE_ACTION ||
    actor.ct_catb_value > 0 ||
    $imported["DoubleX RMVXA Cooldown Addon to YSA-CATB"] &&
    actor.cd_catb_value > 0 })

The default value means that, in order for the escape option to be available, the following conditions must be met:
1. All actors have full atb
2. All actors have enough action slots for the escape action(for those using the action addon as well)
3. All actors aren't already charging actions
4. All actors aren't already cooling down(for those using the cooldown addon as well)

To remove all these constraints, simply change ESCAPE_CONDITION to this instead:

ESCAPE_CONDITION = %Q(false)

Of course, this still doesn't mean the escape option's always available, like those explicitly disallowed by the bug fix
