[Solved] Yami Order Battlers Enemy Transform Bug

[RCXDan]

This is different from the other thread since I've technically already found what I want, but after testing I've found two interesting... caveats with Yami's Order Battlers script, to say the least.

Here's the code: YSA Order Battlers

The first problem is that using the "enemy transform" function to change an enemy into another doesn't update the icon. This is pretty terrible, as there's a function in the script itself that lets you give enemies custom icons.

The second much larger problem is that hidden enemies showing up through "enemy appear" just... don't have icons at all? They're an empty space between the player and enemy icons yet are still counted in the turn order. This exact same thing happens when players or enemies are revived, since it removes their icons.

Maybe people who are better at Ruby than me can come up with some quick fixes for this? From what I understand there needs to be refresh/update coding that tells the game the icons have changed, as the script already gets rid of dead actors/enemies from the turn order. Maybe that can be reverse engineered for this.

This is not a compatibility error, as I've stripped it down to just Yanfly Battle Engine (which itself I have not changed other than some colors and fonts) and Order Battlers in a fresh project and it still crops up unfortunately. If you guys can fix this, you'll have my infinite gratitude.

Try this

# if you get an error under Order Battlers Line 679 put a # there

# if @actor_command_window.current_symbol == :attack #&& !BattleManager.actor.input.attack?

Where in the script am I supposed to put this? Above and below outside of it just seem to make the game crash with this error message when actors are revived or enemies are un-hidden:

Same thing happens in the "has no scripts but yanfly battle engine and YSA Order Battlers" project.

I have Yanfly Core
Yanfly Battle
Yami PCTB
Yami Order Battlers
my fix

I don't get any errors.

... Ooh, there's the problem. I am using Order Battlers as a standalone as Yami PCTB just... kinda screws up the game. I was not really intending on using an ATB or CTB system, just the function that lets you see who goes first.

 

[Roninator2]

So your turn based with a view order? Then your yanfly battle system is set to dtb?

Yes, it is turn-based with a view order. It is set to :dtb.

Ok, try this. Below Order Battlers. Set the Switch to the switch you will reserve for this script.

So excellent news, @Roninator2 - it works! Enemy transform and enemy appear are completely fixed now!

You're a god for doing this.

... Only problem is that revived enemies/actors still lose their icons.

 

[Shaz]

I've moved this thread to RGSSx Script Support. Thank you.

 

[Roninator2]

@RCXDan Script above updated.

 

[RCXDan]

Thank you so much, @Roninator2 ! It works now! Now to test more things about it.

 

[RCXDan]

So @Roninator2 we've pretty much quashed all of the bugs this thread was made for.

I'd say we're finished here. Thanks for your help!
