How to make a script that changes the attack animation depending on what weapon you have

[Markh10156]

I have weapon animations I use with Yanfly for melee weapons but I want to add a ranged weapon and I don't want my characters sliding in and hitting the enemy with a slingshot. Any way I can change what happens when you choose the "Attack" option based on what weapon you're using

Since this concerns Yanfly's plugins and how to mofidy/adapt them, I'm moving this to Javascript/Plugin Support.

I've moved this thread to Javascript/Plugin Support. Please be sure to post your threads in the correct forum next time. Thank you.

Hello! What Yanfly plugins do you use for this? I assume you have Yanfly Battle Engine Core with it's Action Sequences pack, but do you have YEP_WeaponAnimation?
Pretty easy to do if you have those...

Yeah I have all of those and that's the issue I made an attack animation with it for the base attack that makes the characters move in to attack but I want it to cancel if they're holding a slingshot

You mean somethig like this?

<target action>
  if user.equips()[0].wtypeId === X
      move user: 25 
      motion attack: user
      motion wait: user
      action animation
      action effect: target
  else
      move user: target, front base, 15, auto offset x -20
      motion attack: user
      motion wait: user
      action animation
      action effect: target
  end
</target action>

*X is to be change for the weapon type Id of slingshots in your Database.

Oh thank you I had no idea you could do that. Is there any way I can change the button that says attack to shoot only if he weapon is equipped

Edit: It also crashes my game that code

Hello again, maybe you should show us screenshots of your plugin manager and of the actual skill as this "code" works perfectly. It won't crash even if user doesn't have anything equiped in slot 0 or if you let there the X (tested it).

Ok so this is the code:
<setup action>

clear battle log

display action

immortal: targets, true

perform start

wait for movement

cast animation

wait for animation

</setup action>



<whole action>

</whole action>



<target action>

<target action>

if user.equips()[0].wtypeId === ShlingShot

move user: 25

motion attack: user

motion wait: user

action animation

action effect: target

else

move user: targets, front, 10

wait for movement

camera screen: target, front center, 15

camera focus: target, front center, 15

wait for camera

perform action

motion attack: user

action animation

wait for animation

action effect: target

death break



</target action>



<follow action>

</follow action>

<finish action>

immortal: targets, false

wait for new line

clear battle log

perform finish

wait for movement

wait for effect

</finish action>

And I'll send Images of the Plugin Manager

First, the Weapon Type Id should be a number. Check in your database 'Types' section.

Second you didn't close the if block; you miss a 'end' statement at the end, as in the exemple I provided above...

EDIT: ...and you have 2 <target action> notetags...

oh wow now I have a whole seperate error oh mans it says "Cannot read property 'toUpperCase' of undefined

New Code:
<setup action>

clear battle log

display action

immortal: targets, true

perform start

wait for movement

cast animation

wait for animation

</setup action>



<whole action>

</whole action>



<target action>

if user.equips()[0].wtypeId === 13

move user: 25

motion attack: user

motion wait: user

action animation

action effect: target

else

move user: targets, front, 10

wait for movement

camera screen: target, front center, 15

camera focus: target, front center, 15

wait for camera

perform action

motion attack: user

action animation

wait for animation

action effect: target

death break

end

</target action>



<follow action>

</follow action>

<finish action>

immortal: targets, false

wait for new line

clear battle log

perform finish

wait for movement

wait for effect

</finish action>

EDIT: Removing the second Target Action did not stop the error

Hello!
It's because the line 'move user: 25' should be write 'move user: forward, 25'.
My bad, sorry
Writed the sequence quickly, just to show an exemple of the use of a conditionnal branch in action sequence... Thought you would input your own sequence
Anyway, that should work now.
