Pre-made (Yanfly's) Action Sequence Sharing and Discussions

[Blue001]

As Yanfly's Battle Engine Core and Action Sequences 1-3 basically add a new type of resource to the game that can be created/shared/requested (in the form of completed action sequences), I thought it would be a cool idea to have a thread where people can;

1 - Share any sequences that they have come up with,
2 - Request help with how certain sequences could be done.

For example, if someone figures out how to do a omnislash like sequence and would like to share it, they now have a place.


Be sure to thank/credit whomever created a sequence if you use it in your game.


Please include a note on if the end user will need to have action sequence plugin 1, 2, 3 or all of them for the shared sequence.


- For example, User SOC shared the following sequence (in another thread) to make your character swing their weapon when using the skill that contains this notetag.

SWING WEAPON WHEN USING THIS SKILL
<Target Action>

motion swing: user

perform action

motion wait: user

action animation: target

wait for animation

action effect: target

death break

perform finish

</Target Action>

It seems simple, but to some users, they may look at this an get confused, especially when trying to make it on their own. Having examples they can copy/paste to achieve a desired effect will help a lot.


A big thank you to Yanfly for creating the plugins!

Great idea! Having trouble with this!

I've made a sequence that changes based off a switch. 

if $gameSwitches.value(1) MP +variable 1: userelse TP +variable 1: userendI use the MP or TP restore for my specific purposes, but you could put anything in there. You could do a *lot* with stuff like this. Maybe there's a side quest that adds an extra hit to one of your abilities?

if $gameSwitches.value(1) action effectendVery simple and basic, but powerful if you get creative. I'll be messing around with action sequences a lot so I'll post more if I get something really cool.

This is a great thread, I was gonna' make one my self once I got some more examples up. I'll edit this post and reply (if not double post) when I come up with more cool stuff. Right now, I'm trying to mimic the "Deathblow" FF7 skill Yanfly shows in one of their videos where you jump and swing back down. I got the jump I think but I need to get the actor movement working better.

FF7 Deathblow:

<Target Action>

move user: target, front base, 30

wait for movement

jump user: 200, 20

motion swing: user

perform action

action animation: target

wait for animation

action effect: target

death break

perform finish

</Target Action>

For jump user, the first number is the height, the second number is how many frames (time) it takes for the jump animation. The higher the first number, the further up your character will jump. The higher the second number, the slower their jump animation will be.

I've been working on an animation for Slash Special 1 (Animation). It looks like the penta slash used in the Yanfly video and I think I've got something pretty similar down. However at the time my character doesn't disappear. I have the action effect set to five times (One for each slash)

The noteline code is as follows:

(Fixed it!)

<Target Action>

move user: target, front head, 5

wait for movement

motion swing: user

move user: target, back, 5

motion swing: user

That's kinda awesome. I gotta say. Thanks for sharing that one!

Here's the version I made for Penta Slash:

Eyyyy, Yanfly saving the day once again.

Hoping there're some gun ones by chance :>

 

[Jetan]

Oh wow. I was completely off. Thanks for sharing the code for that, Yanfly. It'll definitely help going forward with our projects.

Here's an annoyingly simple one I need help with: I'm basically just looking to do a tiny edit on SOC's skill swing for a very simple thing: it's an 'Attack Random Enemies' skill, but it does each attack one at a time (Hit, damage, hit, damage, hit, damage) and I want them all to go off simultaneously (hit-hit-hit, damage-damage-damage). I've been poking around at it, and while that's given me a lot of ideas for more difficult things to pull off, the simple one I'm trying to do still doesn't want to work! What do I have to do here?

 

[Jetan]

Got a new one, noticed that Yeeart mentioned wanting some gun skills so I thought I'd give a shot at it. It's pretty basic, jump up in the air, shoot a guy a lot and then finish with an explosive shot to the enemies chest. It does use two separate animations. The first one is for Shoot Barrage and the second I actually had to make myself, which was a combination of normal shot and parts of the "Gun2" images. Overall pretty simple and could use some improvement, so if anyone wants to take what I've got here and spice it up you're welcome to do so.

I can't get the camera focus to do anything... Here's what I have for a skill. It's meant to basically be like one of moves from anime where the player slashes through an enemy and appears on the other side, with the effect happening a few moments later. The skill itself works, but the camera controls aren't working properly.

EDIT: Nevermind, I figured it out. The note tag is ZOOM:,  not CAMERA ZOOM:. In case someone else has this problem in the future.

scratch this whole thing

this was the simplest of simple

i am apparently very bad at simple

once i figured it out it took me all of ten seconds to get it to work like i wanted because it was that simple

ugh i embarrass myself

The penta strike animation here crashes the game if used by an enemy. Do we need to disable them someway or is there something we need to do to make them cross compatible for players and enemies?

 

[Blue001]

Yanfly is already aware of the enemy crashing. Said a Fix was incoming.

 

[Yanfly]

The new updates today should have fixed it: http://yanfly.moe/2015/10/24/plugin-bugfixes-round-2/

Give those a shot to see if the crashes still happen. It should be removed.

Anyway, here's a new action sequence for you guys. You can use it with your Attack skill. It will detect if the user is using a melee type attack (thrust or swing) or a ranged attack (missile) and either run up close to attack or shoot the enemy from afar:

<setup action>display actionimmortal: targets, true</setup action><target action>if user.attackMotion() !== 'missile' move user: targets, front, 20else perform startendwait for movementmotion attack: userwait: 10attack animation: targetwait for animationaction effect</target action>Have fun!

Thanks! I had already set this very thing up using two separate attack skills, I was unaware you could use JS in the notetags

Your best bet would be to make enemies their own attacks until something is released that allows them to use the same ones as well.

Here's an ability I created.

Do note, it's an AOE ability, so if you wanted to change it to single target change the <whole action> to <target action>

The character jumps into the enemy pile swings his weapon - deals damage, swings weapon again - deals damage again, then swings weapon one last time - dealing damage for the 3rd time.

I'm also using camera panning/zooming, and hiding the HUD during my attacks, so if you don't like that effect, just delete those lines.

 Thanks for the code. I just wanted to point out that it's easier to copy and read your code if you use the code tag. I changed it in my quote to show the difference.
