looking for Battle Engine/battle system

[sneak0929]

Hi Everyone,

I am looking for a battle system that allows a 6 on 6 battle. Similar to what was seen in Zoids Legacy. any help is much appreciated.

Don't double post... Also are you related to the poster here: http://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?/topic/24527-6-vs-6-field-battle-system-script/

Sorry about double posting. I should have read the rules. Also thanks for getting back to me.

No the system I'm looking for has 2 sides you and the ai. Both can have a max of 6 members. Similar to the FF setup with a max of 4. But the one I'm looking for looks like

X. X._____________X. X

X. X._____________X. X

X. X _____________X. X

The x being the members.

The x' dont move unless do to attack animation then return to begining location.

Maybe try Yanfly's party manager and see if you can modify the max battle members of the party to 6... then get a side-view battle system like Yami's Symphony for example in order to come up with that layout

I will look into that. I had seen both of those and it did not occur to me to even try to modify the two to reach my goal I will try that tomorrow. Thanks for the good idea I'll let you know if it works out.

though hmmm... IDK if it's possible to set-up symphony such that the battlers are not in 1 line, though I haven't tried tweaking with Symphony's placement anyways.

I've moved this thread to RGSS3 Script Requests. Please be sure to post your threads in the correct forum next time. Thank you.

Of course it's possible. Every side-view battle script i've ever seen has individual X/Y positioning per actor. The scripts only have an array for 4 actors, so just edit it to make it 6 actors.

    ACTORS_POSITION = { # Begin.      0 =>  [415, 224],      1 =>  [425, 244],      2 =>  [435, 264],      3 =>  [445, 284],      4 =>  [445, 284],    #Add this line for battler 5      5 =>  [445, 284],    #Add this line for battler 6    } # End.

Hi Everyone

Thanks for getting back to me with all the great suggestions.

I am currently trying the now but keep receiving an error

Error

Script 'Symphony' line 1801: NoMethodError occured
undefined method '[]' for nil:NilClass

Here are line 1800-1802

 return if @origin_x && @origin_y
    @origin_x = @screen_x = SYMPHONY::View::ACTORS_POSITION[index][0]
    @origin_y = @screen_y = SYMPHONY::View::ACTORS_POSITION[index][1]

its connected to this

    ACTORS_POSITION = { # Begin.
      0 =>  [480, 224],
      1 =>  [428, 244],
      2 =>  [472, 264],
      3 =>  [422, 284],
      5 =>  [445, 284],
      6 =>  [445, 284],
    } # End.
  end # View
  module Visua

I have tried different positions for all the characters, does anyone know whats going on.

Edit

never-mind just realized that i missed the number 4.

 

[kerbonklin]

Glad it works.

Just for knowledge's sake, the [0] in

SYMPHONY::View::ACTORS_POSITION[index][0]stands for the first entry of the array/hash, which would be the X coordinate. the [1] on the next line being the second entry, aka the Y coordinate.

 

[sneak0929]

So this is what I did to get it just right for the actors.

 ACTORS_POSITION = { # Begin.
      0 =>  [440, 200],
      1 =>  [440, 240],
      2 =>  [440, 280],
      3 =>  [500, 200],
      4 =>  [500, 240],
      5 =>  [500, 280],

now my next question,

I've been looking for a way to do the same thing to the enemies, but haven't found a way. any suggestions?

 

[kerbonklin]

Just position them on the Troops tab of the database. (That's the only way)  It's not as specific though (no coordinates) so trial-and-error may be needed.

Sorry for having so many questions.

Is there a way to have only you main actor shown when on a map and not the trail of 4 plus you.

it makes me feel like I'm playing snake

You can turn that on and off with events, or have it off by default in the "System", in database, unchecking "Show player followers"
