Problems with Setting Attack Conditions [VX Ace] (Potential Bug?)

[Darx]

Hey, I'm relatively new to the RPGMaker VXAce area and I've run into a bit of a problem. I've been working through some tutorials and am currently working on a boss with moves based on health. I go to set it from 0-25% HP to use the move, but in actuality it sets it to 0-0% HP. I shouldn't need to explain the problems with this. However, if I set the first value to anything higher than 0, it sets it to 0-126541267% hp (Not the EXACT number, but same amount of digits). Here's a picture of the problem (Note I hit EDIT, not NEW, and haven't changed any values).



At first I thought it was just a print error, however it translates into game play as well, wherein the boss will never use that move.

Does anybody know of any way to fix this bug?

Hm I think your right, I just tried testing it, and that feature seems to be broken, I hope someone made a fix for it.

for the mean time, you can probally use troop events for bosses instead, and the forced action event command.

Hopefully someone either made a fix or It's just a graphic bug.

I have noticed if you hit edit, on the messed up % command, It's exactly what you set it as, so it may just be a number displayed bug, yet it still functions correctly in game. Did you try the battle out, to see if the battle runs properly, even though the editor is screwed up?

Hmm... well if it's a consistent bug with others as well, I suppose the best we can do is wait for a patch?

You should try out the battle, it may just be a editor display bug.

If I remember correctly it is just a simple display bug in Enterbrain's part. Strange as this error wasn't present in XP nor VX.

Ok cool, I figured as much.

There might be some reasons why it is not used, but the most likely reason is that the boss has no resource to use the skill. How do you set the 'Aura' skill? If it takes MP you'll want to increase the boss's MP.

Y'know, that is probably the bug, I'll have to go check (Also, sorry for the Double Post... I think my browser bugged XD)

EDIT: So yeah, I forgot to set MP. I kinda jumped to conclusions when I saw the "0", but at least it works. Thank you!

Could an Admin close this for me please?
