Event before Game Over

[Rodrick1234]

In my game, I created an item called "Medicinal Herbs", which would have the function of preventing a Game Over caused in battle, in case your life reached 0. To facilitate what point I would like to reach, here is the function I would like to have the item had: if during a battle the player was defeated and he had a Medicinal Herb, instead of causing a Game Over, something like "Actor used Medicinal Herbs, X amount of HP was restored" would appear, and the player would continue the battle . If he does not have this herb, the Game Over screen would appear.
Now that you know the function of the item, I would like to know if it is possible to put this in my game. I've tried using the encounter battle event commands themselves, but it looks like Game Over takes precedence. Will it be possible to place these events, to possibly skip Game Over?
(Some words may be misspelled, I had to use the Translator.)

The only way I can see this working is if you use a script to override the game over sequence when specific conditions are met.

Have you tested to see if you can get this to work if the actor with medicinal herbs falls in battle while you still have other living party members? Or only with a party size of 1?

 

[Roninator2]

if during a battle the player was defeated

Does your game only have one actor or several actors?

if the actor with medicinal herbs falls in battle while you still have other living party members?

That would certainly work as the battle does not end when one member falls.

A script would have to be used to override the end of battle when all members are defeated.

I hope you don't mind me injecting my thoughts here, but I believe the OP is looking for a script just like this that checks for an applied state rather than a held item. If the script simply checks for an item within the player's inventory, then they won't have to use the item in order to receive its effects.

I believe the OP is looking for something that handles like an auto-raise while a state is applied, so they are automatically revived upon death/downed (Think Reraise from the Final Fantasy series). Mind you, this is going off of the assumption that this is what the OP wants, since it was stated that the item would have been used prior to being downed.

I didn't understand very well...but if you want to cancel the game over AFTER you die in battle and the battle is over you can use "yanfly's" death common event script...you just need to create the event that will happen after the battle is over...but the battle will not continue of course...

If you want something to happenin battle after your characters life has reached 0 HP...you can use Hime's post battle events...these events will trigger at the end of battle but BEFORE the game leaves the battle screen...just create an events that triggers after the battle ends that checks if the character has the item and if it does make the event heals the character...I am not sure if the battle will continue tough as I've never used this scrip for this purpose...but it's worth a try I guess...

Definitely an item. The OP says " Medicinal Herb " not Medicinal status or state. And " Actor used Medicinal Herbs " You can't use a state.

an auto-raise while a state is applied

The script I wrote will work only for the entire party. If it is to be one actor then that's a completely different function.
Of course the OP does say before the game over, so one could assume that it for when the party is defeated.

Yes, only one actor in the entire game. I'll try this script.

Yes, I would like that if my character reached 0 HP, it would be possible to check if the Herb is in inventory, so that the character can recover amount X of HP and continues the battle. The second script verified if the Herb was in inventory and displayed the messages, and I believe it recovered the HP, but the battle didn't continue.

It worked exactly as I would like! I'm really glad. But just so that I can make it a little more complete, would it be possible for the restored HP to be an amount equivalent to X% of the Actor's Maximum HP? And that the name Party be replaced by the name of the actor (that name changes during progression)?

 

[Roninator2]

the name Party be replaced by the name of the actor (that name changes during progression)?

To have the name change throughout the game the message needs to be in the process_defeat method.
Be sure to carefully change this if you want to change the message.

X% of the Actor's Maximum HP

" Actor used Medicinal Herbs " You can't use a state.

True that.

If you have random battles it can only be done with a script.
