Hello, Strangers! It is I, your good friend, uh, Other Stranger. Let's chat a while, and see if we can't solve this issue together!
The Problem: Part 1
No obvious way to make it so the battle music changes to a user-defined song when the current battle party's collective Current HP is at or below a certain threshold of their collective Max HP.
Example: Party's collective Max HP = 100. This attack injures a crap-ton of people and lowers the party's collective Current HP to 40 or less. Bam! Intense music starts up.
Example 2: You've got four battlers, each with 25 HP. Three are heavily injured (a total of 20HP between them), one is in perfect condition (25HP). An enemy attacks someone, anyone, for 5 damage. This takes the collective Current HP down to 40 and 'Uh-oh Music' initiates.
The Problem: Part 2
Okay, so you technically *could* probably do that with a large amount of variable values and such. However, you also need to change the battle music back to normal when the party's collective current HP is above said certain threshold. (Sticking with the prior examples, we're going with 40% collective HP here as the threshold.)
The Solution:
A simple script that checks in-battle for your party's HP values, and then changes the music to a user-defined song when the user-defined threshold is passed. Said script would also restore the default battle music when crisis mode has ended.
Additional Thoughts:
- Perhaps there is a way to make a script and tie it to the game's crisis mode?
- Heck, even a script to check the MaxHP and Current HP values so you could initiate a conditional branch in the Troop page would be nice.
- Didn't they have this as a vanilla option in RPG Maker 2003? It was a long time ago, but I heard it had such a feature.
- Bonus points to have a user-defined song played at user-defined battles (bosses, special fights) when the enemies are low on health.
Let's knock this out of the park!
