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

[Kipplentoast]

Ok, I'm sure there's a much cleaner way to do this, but I like the effect so I figured I'd share. This basically emulates (close enough, anyway) a typical Dragoon Jump from any of the Final Fantasy games.

Here's the Jump effect:

Spoiler

<target action>
camera focus: user
zoom: 110%, 30
wait for zoom
move user: forward, 48, 12
opacity not focus: 0, 20
wait for opacity
se: Wind10
float user: 600%, 10
wait for float
opacity user: 0%, 5
wait for opacity
move user: target, front, 5
wait for movement
opacity user: 100%, 5
wait for opacity
float user: 0%, 10
wait for float
motion attack: user
action animation
shake screen: 3, 9, 10
ani wait: 5
action effect
immortal: target, false
Wait 30
reset zoom: 10
reset camera: 10
jump user: 200%, 10
move user: home, 5
face user: forward
wait for animation
wait for movement
</target action>

<follow action>
zoom: 100%, 60
opacity not focus: 100%, 60
wait for opacity

</follow action>

And as addition I also came up with a little multi-bounce for an AOE jump attack which I think is kind of fun:

Spoiler

<whole action>
camera focus: user
zoom: 110%, 30
wait for zoom
move user: forward, 48, 12
se: Wind10
float user: 600%, 10
wait for float
opacity user: 0%, 5
wait for opacity
move user: targets, back, 5
wait for movement
opacity user: 100%, 5
wait for opacity
float user: 0%, 10
wait for float

ani wait: 5
shake screen: 3, 9, 30

move user: targets, front center, 5
wait for movement
face user: target
motion attack: user
action animation
ani wait: 5
jump user: 200%, 10
move user: targets, front head, 5
wait for movement
face user: target
motion attack: user
action animation
ani wait: 5
action effect
immortal: target, false
Wait 30
reset zoom: 10
reset camera: 10
jump user: 200%, 10

face user: forward
wait for animation
wait for movement
</whole action>

<follow action>
zoom: 100%, 60
opacity not focus: 100%, 60
wait for opacity

</follow action>

Like I said, I'm sure someone can come up with a much cleaner and shinier way to get this done as this is a Work in Progress, but I love this thread so much I wanted to contribute something.

 

[erikmidnatt]

love the thread idea. Keep em coming, this will help lots of us learn much quicker.

EDIT: How could we enhance this so that if a character gets two attacks in, both are facing the enemy.  I've got a character with gloves that gets an extra attack

 

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 action
immortal: targets, true
</setup action>

<target action>
if user.attackMotion() !== 'missile'
move user: targets, front, 20
else
perform start
end
wait for movement
motion attack: user
wait: 10
attack animation: target
wait for animation
action effect
</target action>
Have fun!

Here's a caster damage effect: User slightly fades in and out 3 times, then a "power up" animation plays, then the character casts the damaging spell.

Take note that I'm making use of the camera panning/zooming, and also making non-active targets disappear during the ability. So, if you don't want those, just delete anything that says "camera" "zoom" and "opacity not focus: 0%"

@Fernyfer775 I like just tried it, I like. I'm going to save this one to the library and tweak as needed

Don't mean to be a noob, but I wonder what the code for a character to remain in the casting animation for a spell would be.

That just did something else and prevented the spell name from popping up in the above screen. I have it as a setup animation by the way.

So I took alot of the stuff in this thread, and changed it around a bit to make it my own a little bit. This is all based off a monk glove/claw user. Can be adjusted for anything really.

I would like to point out I can't even do events well, and I was able to adjust a lot of these and make one of my very own (upper cut). So if I can do it I feel anyone can. Much thanks Yan for making it simple, and thanks to everyone else for sort of showing this dummy how. <3

 

[BloodletterQ]

Link what your set-up is, and what you're trying to accomplish, I'll see if I can figure out what to do for you.

 

<target action>

motion spell: user

perform start

</target action>

To be specific, I want it to stay on the last frame as the spell animation occurs.

Do it like this:

motion wait: user

If you look further up in the thread, you'll see the magic spell casting example I posted, perhaps you could get a few ideas from that.

I'm having issues here. This works with Skills but when i apply it to the note section of a weapon, my character doesnt' do anything. What am i doing wrong? Thanks!

You can use it with your Attack skill.

I took them literally. From what I understand Skills OR Items can use this action sequences. i don't think weapons or armor count as items..but again could be wrong From the help file it says

Battle Engine Core includes Yanfly Engine Melody's Battle Engine system,* where each individual aspect of the skill and item effects can be controlled

* to a degree.

Try this.

Try this.

Better, but what if I wanted to make it hit all targets?

Is there any way to place the user on the top layer? If I go to base of enemy i'm always hidden behind them. Thanks!
