Lecode Tactical Battle System 0.77.2B

[Pharonix]

That's not really working for me but I think I know why. Am I correct in assuming it can only place the enemies that are in the troop I'm battling? Essentially limited to the max of 8 enemies per battle? Is there something in this system that can increase that, or does anyone have a recommended plugin for increasing that?

Use FlipelyFlip's Large Troops.
But use my modified one, as it didn't work out of the box, there were a few issues, but my modded one works.

I can confirm this works with at least 100 enemies. The lag is insane, but it works.


As for the <enemy cell: x> sometimes I found that you may need to place them in order. So its a good practice to make the "boss" or rather, the ones you actually need to position as the first entities that actually take part in battle.

Yeah, I figured out it wasn't working because A) the ID was the ID of the enemy within the troop, not the ID in the Enemies database and I was trying to put more enemies than the troop could contain. I'll give your plugin a try and see how that goes. Just out of curiosity, what's the most enemies you've used without serious lag?


Also, with this script, what would the enemy ID be for a second troop? So for instance, in the main troop I launch the battle with, there are 8 enemies. I add troop2 with 5 more enemies, how would I specify those 5 enemies in the notetags? Would they just become 9-13?

25 enemies with a decent computer. It depends on the machine. My laptop was able to handle 40 though.

Problem is all the calculations and such

Also the enemy icons woll run off screen if you dont modify the turn order display.(I've done this as a loop that makes each line a max of 16 or so). Let me check my code. Give me q bit of time

And yes, once added, the enemy ids would continue from 9 onwards.


EDIT:
Here's my updated
TBSTurnOrderVisual.prototype.setPositions
function. This makes it so if there's more than 26 enemies, it'll draw their turn order icons on a new line.
Supports up to about 100 enemies right now, but you can easily continue it on with more if statements
ie: if(i>101)... etc.
This goes in the LeTBSTurnOrderA.js file

TBSTurnOrderVisual.prototype.setPositions = function () {

        var sprite = turn.mainSprite;

        }
       

    }
};

I assume I should overwrite the same bit of code in the plugin with that. If not, then...oops.

Yes, only replace that function.

So I'm kind of tired of waiting for v0.8 and just gonna go ahead and use v0.77, but I just realized that all the old documentation for v0.77 is gone w/ the WIP documentation for v0.8 in its place...what do? >.<

Click "old documentation" from the new doc page. It's all still there, it's just not the front page anymore.

Hey guys, so just wondering, I made a new skill called Shoot, and I want to set that as the default attack command in battle for certain classes. But im
not sure how to change the default attack command, I can make shoot a special skill but I just want to it be the default attack for certain
classes.

 

[TheWorldOfCM]

Guys, how can I make the Boss as the condition in the game? What I mean is...if the player defeated the enemy Boss, game over...even if there are still minions of monsters in the field? can you show me how?

Use Yanfly's Weapon Unleash plugin, which has the notetag <Replace Attack>

 

[Pharonix]

I use lettbs commands to actually set each character to NOT have an attack.
Then on each weapon i just have a line that sets the Extra skill

Ends up looking like this:

Spoiler

So to do this, I put this tag in each actor:

<letbs_commands>
move 82, [extra], skills 64, items 176, scan 243, pass 84
</letbs_commands>

Then on the weapons I use this notetag:
<letbs_commands>
skill[403]
</letbs_commands>
In this case this is a Dagger weapon, which gives the character the [Extra] skill [Dagger]

 

[Sacrifyx]

That plugin you sent me works perfectly. A few more questions though:
1. Are you aware of any way, either through the TBS or another plugin or within the MV engine itself, to calculate a damage falloff? I have energy weapons in my game and ideally I'd like them to do full damage 1 square away, 75% at 2 squares, 50% at 3 and 25% at 4. This is just an example, actual numbers would be different depending on the actual range of the weapon and the weapon itself, but that's basically what I'd like to do.

2. Is there a way to remove corpses from the battlefield? I already have them set to not show up, but they're phsyically obstructing movement still (at least for the player's party, enemies don't seem to care). Chaosicaa posted something in 2017 about an edit to config.js, but the section they mentioned changing doesn't seem to exist anymore, at least not in that file. Might even be better if there was a way just to make the corpses passable.

3. Lastly, how do I change the death animation? I have the default one set the way I want it and it works great for my space battles, but giant explosions on human characters hit by laser guns during land battles doesn't quite work. I would imagine there's a way to call a different animation for death in those instances.

Check out this post i made last year.
AFAIK, it still works.

You'll just need to finagle the math a bit to have tiers, but that should be easy enough
Yanfly's Damage Formula is a godsend.

As for #2, all my enemy entities use these notetag values in the <letbs> tags
sequence(dead): dead_vanish
has_no_corpse
And I haven't had any issues
There's also the tag
passable_on_death
you'd put this between the <letbs> tags in the enemy notetags.


As for #3, i believe you want the tag
collapseAnim: x
where x is the animation id of the collapse you want, otherwise it uses the set value in the LeTBS.js plugin configuration.

Can anyone guide me?...

(1) How can I implement the "Player's turn" and "Enemy's turn" in the battle? I have the pop-up message going but I can't make it right using troop turn condition.

(2) How to make combo skills between 2 characters in a party? If both party members is in the field, the combo skill can be used.

(3) Just a suggestion. Hope someone can make different skills sample and put it in a demo. So everyone has an easy access and samples to copy.

Thank you for whoever answer my questions. Have a great day.

sorry for double post...edited it.

Has anyone tried implementing Lecode's TBS in such a way so that u go from walking/exploring the map out of combat to entering combat seamlessly on the same map? As in enemies are visible on the map when out of combat, then when the player gets close enuf to aggro them or trigger something, combat is initiated w/o moving to a different map? I was thinking of using Yanfly's Event Proximity Activate, Event Region Trigger, and/or Region Events to create an aggro radius. But how would I configure Lecode's TBS side of things for something like this? Is it even possible?

 

[Pharonix]

For the enemy/player turn Popups, it can be a little tricky, you'll likely need a plugin/script for that.
Troop conditions are no good for that.

As for the sample skills,
I can probably

I did.

Boy can it be difficult.

There's an error in some of the code that prevents events that change location to show up properly in the LeTBS battle.

THEN, you need to account for all possible number of enemy placements and ally placements.
Then use "Event Touch" and then you'll need to relocate the events that dictate player/enemy locations.

Finally, you need to make sure all events on screen actually have an empty page with no conditions as page 1, as events that only have switch conditions, will crash the system.

I did this for 2 of my maps,

 

[Doktor_Q]

@staf00 I'll second @Pharonix on this one- a big part of the issue is that LeTBS has a completely separate battle scene that just happens to load map data, with no connection to the fact that you're on said map.

I've had quite a bit of luck setting this up with SRPG Core though, since that one does the battles using the map scene instead of the battle scene. Of course, it has its own set of limitations and quirks.

 

[Pharonix]

LeTBS, won't really support "seamless" transition.
unless you disable the battle transition (and even then its not completely 'seamless"

This is the closest I can get, and it involves rearranging all the actor and enemy placements with every single enemy you can touch.
And will never work with random battles unless you really finagle with the event placements.

Spoiler: images

in this map i use 4 ally cells and 6 enemy. and adding even 1 more of each adds like 4 additional commands.
I store them "off-screen" and move them when the enemy is touched.
It took a while to get these working correctly, but once you get a general idea, then it works fine.


The biggest issue is that since it is centered around the enemy touch, you need to make sure there's enough buffer that all the player cells are valid.
As such since my area is 2 behind, I had to add region barriers (a-la yanfly)


Took maybe a few hours getting it configured right lol.

An alternative is making regions and cutting the map into 1 battle map per region, and using the LeTBS_encounters to say,
if region 1 - use map xxx.
