RMMZ Dragoon Jump??? Let's just get this out of the way

[Greyman972]

I'm sure I won't be the last person to request this. Does anyone have an action sequence to recreate the famous Dragoon Jump skill from the final fantasy series? Much appreciation!

Since you mention Action Sequence, I'm assuming you're using the Visustella plugins?

I've moved this thread to Plugin Support. Thank you.

Yanfly created this Jump that could be adapted to the new VS style.

I'm not good with Action Sequences but maybe someone could help.

@miyanke wrong engine, you're giving code to MV, where subject is MZ

Sure, but the plugin commands are very similar, so maybe it can be used as a base to be adapted to VS Battle Core.

As I said I'm not good with the Action Sequences, in fact, it's my first time creating one.
I tried to adapt Yanfly to VS Style in Common Events resulting an error with "

SyntaxError
Identifier 'target' has already been declared

". Maybe someone can check and detect where the error is.
Edited: I found that the error is in the State, but I don't know how to fix it.

I used the MV Yanfly design for the attack:

• One Jump Skill that just select the target with one target.
• One State that makes the character unselectionable (while it's in the air). I did it with *Objective*0% instead of a JS Command.
• One Landing Skill that makes the damage.

Jump skill:

Jump Common Event:


Jump State:

<JS On Erase State>
// Get the landing skill.
var skill = 394;
// Get the last targeted index.
var target = -2;
// Queue the forced action.
BattleManager.queueForceAction(user, skill, target);
</JS On Erase State>

(Maybe instead of Erase it should be Expire, but I misunderstand the differences).

Landing Skill:

Landing Skill Common Event:

Solved!
I changed a few things about the Action Sequence to make it faster but the main problem was the State, so I changed it for this code (I found in a post) and it work:

<JS On Expire State>
user.forceAction(211, -1);
BattleManager.forceAction($gameParty.members()[1]);
</JS On Expire State>

The Landing Common Event has been changed to:

Anyway, @Greyman972 , if you don't want to make it this hard, i've been researching and found this post with an idea withouth the Action Sequence. Maybe it could be useful.

Did not know making jump was this easy?

Until I messed around with forced actions for a bit, I thought the only method of imitating the dragoon jump was using the Yanfly's several plugin method. Half of which are just there for aesthetic reasons assuming you are in side view. Once I discovered you can choose "last target" in force...

Hey there, I appreciate you doing the work to help us lurkers learn how to navigate these action sequences. This is one of those that I've tried to implement countless times but to no avail.

How did you get the BattleManager.forceAction to work? When I implement it, it just has my character stay hidden up in the air and doesn't come down. I checked the console and see that it doesn't throw out an error so I think it is suppose to run.

Did you have different settings or plugins installed? For testing purposes I'm starting from a fresh project with just the VIsuMZ Sample Project plugins installed.

EDIT: Ah nevermind! It works but it replaces the user's action with Land instead of using Land then having an action for a turn. Interesting.

I know this is an old thread but when I do this, the enemy goes up, but doesn't come down? It's like the game isnt reading the state not tag?
