[help] Moving enemy sprites in sideview Combat

[Klunky2]

Hello,

I would like to move enemy sprites in the sideview combat. For example an enemy uses a skill and attacks you from behind. Don't want simple attack animation. I want to move the sprite itself.
Rumors tell that this is possible with the "YEP.44 - Animated Sideview Enemies" plug-in but on the video it isn't showcased, just some fancy animations which are cool but I also would consider just "fluff" compared to moving sprites on the screen. If I look up the documentation, I couldn'T find any option to move enemies. At the same time it looks like all these options are only available in enemy context, which wouldn't work for my puposes anyway.

I can't be the first one with such a problem aren't I? Is there an easy method to make it done?

Hello, what you need is YEP_BattleEngineCore + YEP_X_ActSeqPack2.js

Well I looked it up before, but it seems like that Action Sequence Pack 2 only focuses on battler movements, there are seemingly no actions for enemies. The showcase video also doesn't show any enemy movements and focuses only on battlers. In the documentation, I only find the term "battler" but not enemy.

Can you explain further which features of the plug-in would help me in this regard?

Hi again. Battlers stand for both Actors and Enemies in Battle context.

Like if you put an action sequence notetag like this in your regular Attack skill:

<target action>
  move user: target, front base, 20
  action animation: target
  action effect: target
</target action>

User will refer to the Enemy battler when skill is used by an enemy and refer to actor when it's the other way around.

Ah yes that works and simultaniously solves my other problem. Many thanks.

My other problem was that the "<target action>" notetag, wasn't interpreted at all or it was my "attack animation: target" i'm not sure why it worked now, but after I copied your code it immediately work. Could it be that something like than can happen when anywhere a blank too much is in the notetag? Can't check it out anymore it was very frustrating.

Good to know the terminology now, thought battler was always the animated sideview actors. xd
