Help disabling step-in at the start of battles for MV

[Fitferfer]

Hey everyone,

I'm looking to disable the step in/slide in that happens at the start of battle for my actors in the Side View in RMMV.

I'm using Yanfly's Core Engine as well as Yanfly's BattleEngineCore. It's great! But I want my battlers to be static on the screen when battles start (or to display an custom animation), rather than step/sliding in.

I've dug through some of the core .js files as well as Yanfly's .js files trying to find pieces of the battle scripts myself, but I'm just not finding what I need...

Thanks!

okay i believe this is what does it

Sprite_Actor.prototype.moveToStartPosition = function() {
    this.startMove(300, 0, 0);
};

this is called immediately when the sprite is created, start Move is a function tha will progressively move the sprite to the define position, however, this actually is what make the battler start of screen.

interestingly enough though, Yanfly's Battle core changes it to this:

Sprite_Actor.prototype.moveToStartPosition = function() {
    if (BattleManager._bypassMoveToStartLocation) return; //this will cancel the effect!
    if ($gameSystem.isSideView() && this._checkAliveStatus) {
      this.startMove(300, 0, 0);
    }
}

I'm assuming BattleManager._bypassMoveToStartLocation is used in one of his other plugins, as it only makes one appearance in the Battle Core Engine itself.

if you're only using Battle Core, you can set it to true, and they will always skip the slide effect until it is set to false.
testing this, it will stop the sliding animation at the start,
but it will not stop the turn animation (they walk forwards when they get a turn!)

You're a lifesaver

The Yanfly Battle Core actually has options inside to turn off steps forward DURING combat (Step Distance under the SPRITES subsection)... Just not one to turn off that initial saunter in.

Cheers, really appreciate the help.

Hello, very interesting, i wish i knew more about javascript T_T

Anyway...

I will be very quick and straight to the point. Yesterday I installed the row formation plug in by Yanfly and now I have 2 major "problems" that i can't solve.
1: The step in animation of battlers is skipped (battlers just spawn in their home position, and if a battler is added midbattle it will spawn there without the step in motion). I want to have it even if i use the row plug in, is it possible?
2: Probably is my ignorance here, but i would like to be able that melee attacks can only reach the 1st raw. But even if i put my battlers on the 2nd or 3rd row they get hit anyway by the enemy attacks (even if i put the notetag <row only: 1> in the skill (attack) notetag).

I hope you can help me with this, I am completely ignorant about java script programing, i am sure there is a way to do what i want with that but i wonder if i messed up some settings or there is just some kind of plugin command or notetags that can help with that.
Thank you so much!!
