Limit Break

[Selchar]

Good to know, but sadly even trying to find a compatible method for Yami's ATB is hard, I feel like I'm missing something obvious, it's there but just out of reach. Perhaps someone else would be able to come up with a solution, as for the moment I've run out of ideas.

 

[psu4ever10]

No problem, thank you for all your help already!

 

[Selchar]

I really was missing something obvious, it just didn't click until a little while ago. Try the following code. Looks tood to me so far.

module Selchar  module Max_Tp_Ani    Actors_Only = true    Default = 81  endendclass Game_Battler < Game_BattlerBase  def max_tp_animation(mirror = false)    animation = $data_animations[Selchar::Max_Tp_Ani::Default]    if animation      self.animation_id = Selchar::Max_Tp_Ani::Default      self.animation_mirror = mirror    end  end    alias :max_tp_animation_change :tp=  def tp=(tp)    @selchar_max_tp_ani = @tp    max_tp_animation_change(tp)    unless @tp == @selchar_max_tp_ani      if actor?        max_tp_animation if @tp == max_tp      else        unless Selchar::Max_Tp_Ani::Actors_Only          max_tp_animation if @tp == max_tp        end      end    end  endend

That works like a charm! great job!

Thanks too Selchar, i am also using this new feature  .

I've been wanting to use this script for a while, but I have a bit of a design issue with some of my games that would make it complicated.

These games will use TP for non-magic skills, yet I had intended the limit gauge (for applicable characters) to be separate from TP.

Is there any way that I can work around this, without having to merge the limit and skill cost functionalities?

 

[Selchar]

So what you're asking is for another resource that works like TP(How it's gained), but is completely separate and tie that to this scripts functionality instead of TP? I suppose it's possible, the only issue I can think of would be having to make a new Limit gauge to display your Limit's %, which can be done several different ways depending on any scripts you may or may not have that modify the battle status window.  If you don't want a visible gauge then that would just make it easier to do.

 That would be great if another resource bar was added, and worked like TP, but Isn't TP, this way the TP bar can still be used for special abilities, while the Limit Break system, has its own gauge, just for the Limit Breaks.

Yes, that's correct. Glad to know it's possible.

It would either be one or the other meter which would need to be new, as the functionalities I've been designing in my games for skills and limit breaks would conflict. Skill points would need to remain when a limit break is used, but the limit break would need something to use up, to prevent it from being used too often.

Now I need to figure out how to get the extra meter set up. I agree that making the new meter hidden would be easier, which puts me in a tricky situation due to the fact that I had intended the limit meter to show as well. Thankfully, the menu systems I'm using (non-battle and battle) should be adaptable enough to allow for the addition of the extra meter.

Here's an unofficial version of the FF7 Limit Break script, still requires the Add Skill Exceptions script found in the 1st post.  It uses Limit Points instead of TP.

Wow. I wasn't expecting you to actually do this. Thank you very much!

Now all I need to do is figure out how to get the meter to display.

 

[LazierBandit]

Apologies if this counts as a "necropost" - it seemed the most appropriate place to put this request.

Is there any chance you could add functionality to play a Sound Effect when the Limit skill is added to the command list? I've tried to work out how to script this myself, but with 0 knowledge of Ruby, I struggled...

 

[Blackbirdobyri]

Hi all, 

first of all, awesome scripting! Works very well.     
However, is there also something I can do to exclude a skill from regular rules? 
So if the basic rules are the actor's HP needs to be below 25%,
and the chance of appearing is 33%, 
could I make it so that one overpowered skill only has .. I.E 20% chance of appearing?

I hope somebody can answer this even though the topic is quite aged ^^ 

Keep up the good work! 

 

[Nanaki_Fan]

Great  script!

One question though: Can you add an animation/effect for when the character gets a limit break?

for example: One character gets 100 TP - have character play an animation (maybe a light effect?) then have it flash up "Limit break ready"

I am using a script for visual animated battlers (old school final fantasy style)

 

[Selchar]

Would the following work? It's found in post 23.  You'd make the animation yourself and put it's number where it says Default but that's not hard at all to do.
 

module Selchar  module Max_Tp_Ani    Actors_Only = true    Default = 81  endendclass Game_Battler < Game_BattlerBase  def max_tp_animation(mirror = false)    animation = $data_animations[Selchar::Max_Tp_Ani::Default]    if animation      self.animation_id = Selchar::Max_Tp_Ani::Default      self.animation_mirror = mirror    end  end    alias :max_tp_animation_change :tp=  def tp=(tp)    @selchar_max_tp_ani = @tp    max_tp_animation_change(tp)    unless @tp == @selchar_max_tp_ani      if actor?        max_tp_animation if @tp == max_tp      else        unless Selchar::Max_Tp_Ani::Actors_Only          max_tp_animation if @tp == max_tp        end      end    end  endend

 

[Rusty20]

First off great Script. Second how would I make it so That the skills that pop up in the Limit Break Command are Unique to that Character, Like for example: Tom Gets Super Power Beam in his Limit Break and Mary gets Super Magic Beam in her Limit Break. Oh By The Way I'm using Limit Break 8. Edit: Never Mind I figured it out.

 

[Whovencroft]

I'm still pretty new at Ruby, but I'm doing my best to learn.  That being said, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to add multiple requirements to a limit break (or anything else for that matter).

I'm trying to get it to activate Limit once the TP gauge is full, but then have Limit be replaced by something like True Limit if your HP falls below 24% and the TP gauge is full.  Most of my tinkering has been with Victor's script, but I've about given up on getting it to work properly with his.  

Spoiler

This is my failed attempt at Victor's Command Replace for example.

<command replace: Attack>

name: Limit;

type: skill;

ext: 5;

condition: a.tp = a.mtp && a.hp > (a.mhp/4.16);

</command replace>

 

<command replace: Attack>

name: True Limit;

type: skill;

ext: 6;

condition: a.tp = a.mtp && a.hp <= (a.mhp/4.16);

</command replace>

 

 

It's looking like your FF7 Limit Break script is closest to what I'm looking for, but like I said I'm not nearly good enough yet to try rewriting code without knowing what half of it means.

 

[Selchar]

What you want sounds simple enough to do.  Basically it starts off the way FF7/X's limit break/overdrive works, but if your hp is below a certain point(FF8 style but without the random) you get something better?  The way I would go about it is to check for the 'true limit' conditions first, and only if that check fails would I check for the normal 'limit'.  That would insure only one would appear.  Unless you want both limit options to be available at the same time?

I don't know how exactly Victor's script works(a quick look says it should be able to do what you want and I can try and troubleshoot the conditions to make it work), or I can modify one of my scripts to add the effect you want.

Note: Your tags using Victor's script - a.mtp won't work because it is not defined.  Try changing it to a.max_tp.  Also for your 'true limit' tag, perhaps instead of replacing 'Attack' have it replace 'limit', and just do the hp check.  I haven't tested it's just an observation and a guess from my quick look.at how his script works and the tags you showed me.

Would the following work? It's found in post 23.  You'd make the animation yourself and put it's number where it says Default but that's not hard at all to do.

module Selchar module Max_Tp_Ani Actors_Only = true Default = 81 endendclass Game_Battler < Game_BattlerBase def max_tp_animation(mirror = false) animation = $data_animations[Selchar::Max_Tp_Ani:efault] if animation self.animation_id = Selchar::Max_Tp_Ani:efault self.animation_mirror = mirror end end alias :max_tp_animation_change :tp= def tp=(tp) @selchar_max_tp_ani = @tp max_tp_animation_change(tp) unless @tp == @selchar_max_tp_ani if actor? max_tp_animation if @tp == max_tp else unless Selchar::Max_Tp_Ani::Actors_Only max_tp_animation if @tp == max_tp end end end endend

I shall give this a try!

While I am here, I saw a post in the thread about changing the colour of the "limit break" text but I couldnt get it too work. Any ideas?
