[RMVXA] Event - Party Reaction to Character HP Low/Death

[Tornado Samurai]

Hello everyone.

I'm having a sort-of issue with eventing for a specific event. I almost didn't know what to call this problem. Let's look at the photo below.



You see, I orchestrated an event where if the Character "Alex" has HP Level of 50% or lower, his party member, Matt, will take notice and advise him to reinforce his health and this goes the other way around too. The same goes for if "Alex" dies as well and the party members will take notice and voice their reaction. However, I put this in a Monster "Troop" event. Having to copy and paste this event page on every single troop monster page, making sure that for every battle that everyone knew that the main character was losing HP fast or was dying or has died, into every other single event page would be time consuming.

Is there a way to bypass or avoid this? If there is a way with Common Events or if there isn't, can you post detailed instructions? It would be greatly appreciated. As for the Common Events fiasco, I had experimented with this and custom switches but they failed horribly and the party members took no notice at all. (Took me a while to notice that it literally said "Common events are only valid in Map events, not battle."

Thanks in advance,

Base troop event, from yanfly: http://rmvxace.wikia.com/wiki/RPG_Maker_VX_Ace_Master_Script_List

Do a control + f on that list.

Is there a way to do it without script, though? I have zero skills with script or how to handle it. Plus, I'm wary over custom scripts.

Using pre-made scripts is usually pretty easy.  You see the "note" box?  All you do is look at the comment block at the start of the script (the # marks) and they tell what syntax you use for the note tags and which note tags should have them.

Note tags themself aren't magic --- they're just text boxes where you put in text that matches the syntax the script tells you to use.  And then you're all set.

That's a lot easier than rolling your own scripts.

You don't need scripting knowledge to apply these simple scripts! Just look at the start of the scripts (the green bits in comments (#) - it tells you what to do.

Yanfly's base troop event script is rediculously easy to use. Just put it above main and any troop event in troop Id 1 will be active in all battles, no configuration required. (Though it's documented well and easy to find where to change the Id if needed.). Utility scripts like that are really great since they only improve what you can do with the eventing system rather than bein their own standalone system, and typically have greater compatability as well.

Just to be perfectly clear for you, there is no way to do this without either using a script, scripting something yourself, or copy/pasting the event pages into each troop.

You can use a Common Event to make things easier (so you can, for example, make a change in one place rather than a hundred if you decide to change the dialogue), but you'd still need a page in each troop that calls the Common Event.

Ok. There's no other way, then. I'll try it.

However, which link is safe? On the website hotfirelegend showed me, there's an ATTENTION header detailing the risks of getting "very very unwanted pop-ups" when clicking a link because some scripters use Adfly in the script links.

Adfly gives the creators of the scripts a bit of money every time it is visited, it isn't a virus. When you visit an adfly link, at the top of the page there will be a "continue to X" link. Just click that.

Thanks! I'll be sure to utilize the script! Thanks for all your help!
