Limit Break

[Whovencroft]

Thanks for the reply Selchar, I wasn't expecting one so quickly.

I haven't tried calling the second conditions first yet, I don't know why that never crossed my mind.

The code I put up for Victor's wasn't exact, it was just my approximation (I wasn't at home to check).

I agree the code should work for his, but it just.. doesn't.

As for the task itself, yes I wanted one to overwrite the other, not have them both available at the same time.

I'm going to try fiddling around with the code I have already based on your suggestion though, probably not till the morning as I'm off to work.

Edit: Well, I spent an hour trying to get this working to no avail.  Four days in, I believe I am out of ideas.  Would you mind terribly helping me out?

@Nanaki_Fan - If you are referring to Vendastelca's post, #13, I checked and it works.  The only reason it wouldn't would be either because of a typo onn your part(match it to how you typed it in the terms tab of the database) or another script overwriting the method.

@Whovencroft - Try the following as your limit break script.

@Nanaki_Fan - If you are referring to Vendastelca's post, #13, I checked and it works.  The only reason it wouldn't would be either because of a typo onn your part(match it to how you typed it in the terms tab of the database) or another script overwriting the method.

its all spelt correctly. I put my term as "focus Attk"

so I changed the "limit" in the colour script to match this. But its still not working

EDIT: ahh never mind it needed to be moved right to the top! Got it working

EDIT2: ok one more thing, is it possible to add a message box to the animation script that says "Limit break Ready" or "limit reached" or "limit break reached" something along those lines?

EDIT3: I got it working by myself! woot!

 I added the following to your code:

$game_message.background = 1 $game_message.position = 2 $game_message.add("Limit Break Ready")Now it displays a message at the bottom of screen with a faded background saying "Limit Break Ready" when the animation plays.

Here is the modified animation code with message box.

Spoiler

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] $game_message.background = 1 $game_message.position = 2 $game_message.add("Limit Break Ready") 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

Now if I can just get it to show the actors face when the message displays I will be happy

 

[captainproton]

Wow! I can't wait to put this to use in my game!

 

[bcapek25]

this script is a way better way of implementing the limit function than i had been using. I'm having an issue with it tho, i've narrowed down the cause but have no idea how to fix it. I'm using Yanfly's battle command script and they are in fact compatible, but as far as i can tell only if you are using the default "attack" skill. I have used yami's sideview battle to create new attack animations fo each class, and then use Yanfly's battle command script to replace the default attack. so for example, i make an attack for an archer where he shoots a bow instead of running up and beating the enemy with it, that skill is say #10. So in the battle commands i get rid of the default attack and use skill 10 instead. well that seems to stop the limit break script from "activating" and putting the limit command in the battle menu, i assume it's linked to the default attack command somehow. I tried rearranging the scripts with no luck. I tried giving the actors both "attack" commands and using yanfly's "hide command until switch is on" for the default attack and linking it to a switch that never turns on, but it didn't work and both attacks showed up in my command menu, maybe that's an incompatability between the two command scripts? basically i just don't know how to fix it but i love this script and really want to use it, if anyone has any ideas i'd really appreciate it.

 

[Selchar]

My script connects directly to the attack command.  From the sound of it you 'removed' said command and just pointed towards a specific skill instead?  Try using Yanfly's Weapon Attack Replace or a script with similar functionality to that to 'Replace' the attack command instead.

 

[bcapek25]

Thanks selchar, with as many of yanfly's scripts as i use i'm not sure how i missed that one lol, but i think it will do the trick.

Edit: well, it's close anyway. i guess the problem would be a weapon that is usable by more than one class, since I had changed animations based on class. I can either change my approach or keep looking for an alternative way to change my attack animations. thanks for the idea tho.

 

[Seijiro Mafuné]

This question has to do with FF8's Aura.

In that game, you could use the Aura spell, the Aura Stone item, or Mighty Guard to give your character max Crisis Level - so you could keep on using Limit Breaks until it ran out, even if you had max HP. Is there a way to implement this feature in a state - something that forces the HP value to be 100% or less as long as it's active?

 

[Nanaki_Fan]

Hello,

So I have found a bug when using the "animation" version of this script.

When a character gets attacked and is killed the animation still plays to show that they have got "100 tp" as they get an increase in TP before they die. Is there anyway to check if the character is dead before the animation/limit break is given?

 

[Selchar]

module Selchar module Max_Tp_Ani Actors_Only = true Default = 81 endendclass Game_Battler < Game_BattlerBase def max_tp_animation(mirror = false) return if self.dead? 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 endendI just added a single line 'return if self.dead?' to the method max_tp_animation, should work.

 

[Nanaki_Fan]

unfortunately that did not work.

My characters still show the animation when they get a TP boost from the enemy attack and are killed.

Ok I had a closer look, I had to be a little indirect but I think I have it solved now. I don't like doing it this way but the default scripts left me little choice in the matter. Hope no new problems come up from the code below.

i got it working but how do i put the limit break i made into the skill category

 

[Seijiro Mafuné]

I'm not sure what the exact question is, but a reminder...

1: on the Terms tab, you'll set the various subtypes of special attacks [starts with Skills and Magic], so you change the max number by +1 and add the Limit Break there, which allows you to set it to skills;

2: on the Skills tab, you make up the skills you want and add the Limit Break type where it would say Skills or Magic.

3: on the Actors/Classes tab, you can add notes to define which Limit Breaks are learned.

These can be used for non-Limit Break features, but I think it's what you are asking.

[greatwhiteryno]

I love this script but I was curious if it was possible to have a unique skill type for each character? I was hoping to give each character a skill type catered to their style of fighting and not have the same name show for each character once they've achieved max TP, but can't figure out how to accomplish it. I've tried adding an array as well as modifying the script where it asks for the Type_ID but I have very little scripting knowledge, especially in ruby. 

 

[Dragonfly89]

Heyho,

I've a question. Is there a chance to make the Limit-Command blinking in different colors or making a rainbow-effect?

And I'd like it to be bold written.

Thx for help^^
