(SV) Multiple Weapons in one Attack

[Brancliff]

I'm not sure if this is a "How do I do this" or a "Can someone make a plugin that allows me to do this", so feel free to move this thread to the appropriate section

I'm looking for a way to make an attack that uses multiple weapon attack animations in one attack. For example, an attack that slashes with weapon 2 and thrusts with weapon 12.

While it is possible to make an attack that slashes and then thrusts, it will do so using the weapon ID of the weapon that the actor has equipped - so by default, my actor would slash with weapon 2, and then do a thrust motion (heh) with his hands but still has weapon 2 slashing.

EDIT: I use Yanfly's plugin for SV attack animations. Dunno if that helps any

not possible by default, and most probably needs a plugin specifically to support such action sequences.

So, I did a bit of digging on this subject since I thought it was a neat idea, and I think I found what you need.

There were some other forums that made some references to being able to do this, and found a post by LadyBaskerville. Apparently, you can add a state mid-action that will force the weapon sprite to change. I have added a link to the original forum post, and the actual solution.

Spoiler: Action Sequence - Work Around

Yanfly's Weapon Animation plugin can change the weapon image for the sideview battler. Unfortunately, the notetags don't work for skills, so it's still a bit of a workaround:


I created a new state like this, in my case #12:





"Weapon Image: 9" is for the gun image, "Weapon Motion: missile" for the shooting motion.


Then I changed the Action Sequence to this:


<target action>


perform start


wait for movement


Eval: user.addState(12); //change the number to the ID of the state you're using


motion attack: user


Eval: user.removeState(12);


wait: 10


attack animation: target


wait for animation


action effect


wait for animation


wait for movement


wait: 5


</target action>


And it works!
