TamFey's Timed Button Attacks

[Badab0um11]

Recently, I stumbled upon TimedButtonAttacks and it was the perfect fit for the game I'm building. Since there has not been much update for a while, I decided to look a bit into the code myself and fix the undefined error. I'm happy to say it's all good now! I also added a feature to count successive hits or fails so that a skill is only triggered let's say after 4 successive hits. Check the help on how to use it if it's something you want.

FYI, I did try to contact TamFey to see if he wanted to update the script himself but I haven't heard back form him. In any case, I still want to thank him for a great script and I hope this new version can help some of you!

By the way, I'm currently looking to implement some core changes to improve the timings of the script across different systems. I find that, especially for long songs which is what I'm trying to build for my game, the timing vary a lot depending on the frame rate. My PC is definitely not slow, but when I play on my friend's overpowered machine, the notes come in much faster. On my tablet, the whole song would finish and I would have seen only half of the arrows! Anyways, I'll update you all if I find the solution to this. Cheers!

This plugin is awesome, I did some more work with it, I'm not still sure if this will work for what I'm making right now, but there is another idea I have that it will be fine for.

As for the problem I had before, it's fixed.

Hi! Not link to download demo

 

[Lonewulf123]

So has anyone gotten this to work with a front view battle system? Everything is working as intended for me, except the hit and miss effects. No matter if I hit or miss, nothing happens.

I copied the note tag straight from the plugin file, so I’m not sure if I’m just doing something wrong.

I’m also not using action sequences because it’s fromt view... anyone else run into this?

EDIT: Not sure if anyone is reading this thread, but I got it to work. Thanks!

 

[Jmanzon]

anyone who has a copy of the demo? the demo is no longer available in dropbox

 

[Nectar]

Bump... requesting a copy of the demo as it doesn't work nor do the plugins function properly...

 

[Rockenberg]

I've been doing some pretty extensive searching for the demo as well as trying to get the plugin to work properly. Not sure if anyone else was able to find anything, but I'll post it here as an edit, if I do manage to find something.

 

[Lonewulf123]

It might have an old version floating around, but it will be a while before I can look

 

[Rockenberg]

Oh, really?! I definitely wanna see it whenever you get the chance to look for it!

I'll still keep looking for an updated version, in hopes that there actually is one.


EDIT #1:
So, I managed to get it to work, but for some reason, it causes the game's frames to drop horribly.

I can put together a demo for the plugin, but I don't know what to do about the frame drop issue.

EDIT #2:

Updated Demo for TamFey's Timed Button Attack is finished. Hopefully someone can find a way to bless this poor plugin.

Nice work! I am (and have been since April) using this plugin for some attacks in Harmonic Odyssey, but it's not without fault and does tend to lag when you get a ton of arrows all over the screen. The memory issues I have seem to be remedied by closing the game and opening it again. I am also using it sparingly, so it's not terribly glaring when it slows down.

I would like to continue to work with it and on it, and now that I see some people have shown interest in it once more, perhaps we can come up with some solutions to get it working really nicely. Meantime, I am happy to lurk around and throw my 2 cents in when it comes to questions about its use.

 

[Shamboyu]

I love this plugin, I had issues with trying to get it to start but I figured it out eventually

 

[Mimikyu]

demo link is dead

 

[Rockenberg]

I commissioned @Gamefall Team to help with fixing it up and they've been absolutely amazing!

Majority of the bugs have been polished and cleaned up, so it's a more usable plugin, now.
Not yet perfect, but definitely usable!

Also, here's a fixed plugin demo link.

Bump, Still waiting for a script like this in RMVXAce ;-;

 

[RicoRob]

Is there a way to make this plugin wait for an action before executing itself?
For example (using Yanfly's action sequences):

<setup action>
common event: 15
</setup action>

<tba down ArrowDown 110 3 5 11>
<tba up ArrowUp 130 3 5 11>

It completely ignores the code above it (I guess it's expected, since it's not part of Yanfly's plugin), so it runs at the same time as the common event.

Hi. Can we get the link for the demo up? I can't seem to configure and make the plugin work. And this is one of the most awesome plugins for MV in my humble opinion.

How do you make the arrows be put in the middle of the screen?
I wanna do something like this:

Any bit of help is appreciated! ! !

I know this might be a slightly late reply, but I was just looking at this thread and think I can answer your question, which could be useful if you or someone else who might want the info reads it. You just have to alter the plugin details where it says "triggerAreaXpos1" to about 300, then "triggerAreaXpos2" to 348, "triggerAreaXpos3" to 396 and "triggerAreaXpos4" to 444. That should do it.

Thanks to TamFey for the excellent plugin and Rockenberg and Gamefall Team for the awesome update!

Hi, I want to make a question.

every time I go to load the plugin, an error message like this appears, and I was wondering how I solve the problem. Thanks.

Sorry for the bad English, it's not my native language.
