multi-hit attack questions

[Oddball]

two questions:

1. how do you program an attack to hit 1 to 6 times

2. is there a dice rolling animation anywhere?

1) If ur using Ace, there's an option for that on the skills tab


2) IDK

I've moved this thread to VX Ace Support. Please be sure to post your threads in the correct forum next time. Thank you.


Please ask separate questions in separate threads. Your dice rolling animation request should go into Resource Requests.

there's an option that always makes it hit 6 times, but not 1 to 6 times

Ah so it's between 1 to 6? then you'd probably need to script that.

You could adjust the skill's hit rate to something like 50% to make it hit between 0 and 6 times, although the number of hits would center around 3 (rather than an even distribution between 0 and 6) and you couldn't necessarily tie it to the dice roll animation.

What you could do, though, is have the formula pick a random number between 1 and 6 and store it for use in a Common Event which shows the dice roll.  Here, it only hits once, but the skill's damage is correctly multiplied by the dice roll.

Example formula: $game_variables[25] = rand(6) + 1; (v[n] * a.mat * 2) - (b.mdf * 2)

Example common event to be tied to that skill:

Conditional Branch: Variable 25 is equal to 1

Show Battle Animation: "Dice Roll Result 1"

End

Conditional Branch: Variable 25 is equal to 2

Show Battle Animation: "Dice Roll Result 2"

End

(etc. up to 6)

For anything that's smoother graphically, you'd probably have to script it from scratch or use some kind of graphical aid script like the Luna Engine.

hey thanks. this is for maybe one enemy in the game, but it's important to the game experince

Example formula: $game_variables[25] = rand(6) + 1; (v[n] * a.mat * 2) - (b.mdf * 2)

The attack would use LUK for damage calculation, because that would make more sense (to me) for a dice rolling attack
