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

[Toxsick]

Hey guy's I have been struggling to figure out how to make a sequence that hit's multiple targets. I want my swordsman to run up to individual targets and do damage to each of them. For instance I'd like him to run up to target 1 slash them do damage and then move to target 2 and do the same. For some reason though he won't move to another target even when i define the target. for instance move user: target 2, back base, 5 My character doesn't move when I input this in he moves to target 1 on the first slice and stays there for the second. I have also tried using enemy and opponent tags none work.

Here's my whirlwind skill, it attacks 4 times. If taunt is activated, the character will attack that target 4 times, otherwise it will attack the selected target + 3 randoms. Note that the character goes semi-opaque when the skill is in use and goes back to full opacity when the sequence is over.

You're probably using <Whole Action> when you should be using <Target Action>. Remember that the entire <Target Action> block is executed once for each target, while <Whole Action> and the others are only executed once. Here's a quick throwtogether that should do what you want. Probably. Maybe.

<Whole Action>
</Whole Action>
<Target Action>
move user: target, front base, 10
jump user: 100, 10

Isn't that an attack for just one target though? I can make stuff like that Im having trouble with having him move to seperate enemies. Like say you have 3 enemies. Lets say enemy 1, enemy 2 and enemy 3 Id like to to start his motion moving to enemy one and slashing them. But instead of hitting enemy one again i'd like him to move to enemy 2 and attack them. I'm trying to create and attack where he kinda dances between all the enemies on screen. I just don't know enough about coding to make the outcome happen.

Hi! I know its asking a lot but could you go over what the code you put in does? like the states part i get it checks to see if the enemy has the state and then activates that line if it does. but what does targets.push(target) do? And where does the damage for the enemies come in? I just want to make a lot of these kinds of attacks and have no clue where to begin since im a begginner in coding. Thank you for any help i appreciate it.

Sure! I'll add comments // like this

// Skill cannot be used more than once every 5 turns, you need yanfly cooldown plugin for that
<Cooldown: 5>

// evaluate which enemies will be targeted. you can use the game's skill "scope" to target 4 random enemies, you can use yanfly target core pluging for a notetag <Target: Target 3 Random Foes>, which will have the character attack UP to 4 targets but only once, or you can push the targets one by one like the code I have below

Thank you so much! Ok if you don't mind i actually have one more question. Do you have an example of a skill that does different thing's in the attack? Like say i wanted him to use a thunder strike on enemy 1 but then wanted him to use a different ability on enemy 2? is there a way to do that? Plus ive noticed that my animation keeps running over and over and its a rather large one so it kinda kills the vibe when he uses it 4 times in a row. Like is it possible to have multiple targeting phases? Where i could have him target one guy attack them and then create another to? or can i place custom targets in my targeting phase? Thank you so much for all of you help i highly appreciate all of your assistance!

I don't know if you can call different abilities from one skill. You can, however, call different animations.

Here's an example:


Common Event
Call a random value between 1 and 2, save it temporarily in a variable




Skill

In the effect, call the common event. If you have multiple common events, it needs to be at the very bottom of the list.
Your action sequence needs to call "action common event", which will execute the last common event you have in the list just above.
Then you check for the value of the variable. If value=1 then play one animation, if value=2 then play a different animation.




This is the whole animation code:

<Cooldown: 3>

<Target: Target 3 Random Foes>

<setup action>
    clear battle log
    display action
    immortal: targets, true
    cast animation
    wait for animation

    wait for movement

    animation 210: user
    wait for animation

    animation 213: user
    wait for animation

</whole action>

<target action>
    action common event
    if ($gameVariables.value(1) === 1)
        animation 218: target
    end
    if ($gameVariables.value(1) === 2)
        animation 219: target
    end

    wait: 20
    action effect
</target action>

<finish action>
    immortal: targets, false

@Moon_Haven Hey thank you for that I really needed that I tried using the
<Target: Target 3 Random Foes>
line of code you put in and it never worked until i copy and pasted yours into it haha i must have been missing a greater then sign or something. Thank you for your help! Idk if you still check these but is there a way to stop my guy from attacking dead enemies? I have it set to where they die after the first attack and he just keeps attacking the dead target sometimes. Thank you for all of your help you dah MVP bruh!

This is the reason I'm using the immortal tag. Without it, characters keep attacking, even when their target is down. This is because the targets are set at the very beginning of the action sequence phase and AFAIK, you can't change them on the fly to, let's say, replace a dead target to a live one.

 

[ItsAri]

I'm trying to apply a state if the enemy has a state already. If there a way can do it in the Notebox? I know how to type it but I completely forgot the terms

EDIT: I figured it out. If anyone wants the code, here it is:

<Custom Respond Effect>

var element = x;

if (this.item().damage.elementId === element) {

target.addState(y);

target.removeState(z);

}
</Custom Respond Effect>

 

[Toxsick]

@Moon_Haven Hey so can i use that variable common event to have him move and do other things other then animation changes? I'm trying to currently but if i specify the motion in the box where the variable decides what he does he don't move.

It's a plugin called after images I can't recall the full title of it as I'm not at my machine now.

@jonenglish91 your action sequences are fantastic! Really nice to watch.. I hope to make some at this level..I am curious at what after image plugin you use? I’m currently doing it the hard way ( making battle animations for after image ) haha. Thanks

Although I did make some edits to the plugin, coming from a C# background and knew little bit of Javascript for me to make some plugin command calls through common events for me to implement into action sequence.
