RMMV How to make battles "attack" command work with Yanfly Instant cast & Skill Cooldowns

[boulops1]

Heya!

im trying to get it so that all my characters basic attack functions in battle are instant cast and depending on what weapon they have equipped it will put the attack function on a cooldown for however many turns.

when i try it i am able to make the actors "attack" instant cast but after they perform it, it says I can still use attack despite putting a CD on it and when i select it the game crashes.

on the Great Axe weapon I have the following.


<Instant Skill: 1>
<Skill 1 Cooldown: 3>

i thought it would of greyed out the "attack" command or put a CD icon over the word but it still allows me to select it.


im currently working with Yanfly's instant cast and skill cooldown plugins.

The plugin doesn't work like that with weapons: they can lower or extend a skill's existing cooldown, but they can't add a cooldown themselves.

What you want to do instead is give the Attack skill a "default" cooldown that'll align with your standard weapon speed, then have non-standard-speed weaponry add to or subtract from the cooldown by however many turns you wish. So for example if your standard cooldown was 2 turns, and the Great Axe is meant to be slower, you'd do <Skill 1 Cooldown: +1> to make it 3.

oh okay that's good to know!

do you know how i can implement this while still having the attack function in the battle menu as an instant cast.. i want people to be able to use the attack when its ready but also use a skill in the same turn.

i tried adding this to the attack skill and slower weapon respectively and it didn't work. the attack is still an instant cast but doesn't put it it on cooldown or stop me from using attack again:

attack skill - even if i put the cooldown to 1 it doesn't do anything.

great axe (1 swing per 3 turns)



thanks

It's <Cooldown: x> for the skill itself. Also, if you don't want Attack to have a default cooldown at all, you don't need a notetag on it and just <Skill 1 Cooldown: +x> will work on the weapon.

You should make sure that you've also removed "1" from the "Cooldown Bypass" parameter in the plugin parameters, as by default Attack is prevented from going on cooldown at all regardless of notetags.

the cooldown bypass!! your so smart Trihan!

that made it so the attack will go grey and on cooldown until the weapon attack cooldown is over. w00t WooT
