(VX Ace) ATB System Options Help

[SilentWyvern]

Sorry for the less than discriptive title, wasn't sure exactly how to word what I needed.

I'm currently making a game centered around ATB combat, but as I'm aware there are players who don't exactly LIKE ATB combat so I'm looking for a way via the system options to turn it off if they'd like.

The ATB system in question is Yami's Classical ATB.

I'm also using Yanfly's System Options script for namely for the player control options.

I can't quite figure out how to work the options in the System Options script to allow me to turn the ATB on or off. The page I linked for Yami's CATB gives script calls that revert it back to the standard combat system (IE no AT.

Script call for CATB:

$game_system:set_battle_systemcatb)

Script call for DTB:

$game_system:set_battle_systemdtb)

Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance. 

Those script calls have typos. The correct ones are:

$game_system.set_battle_systemcatb)$game_system.set_battle_systemdtb)In Event Commands, there's an option called Script. Just put those script calls there.

For example, to change the battle system to catb, put this into the script box of that option:

$game_system.set_battle_systemcatb)Similarly, to change the battle system to dtb, put this into the script box of that option:

$game_system.set_battle_system(:dtb)

So I followed what you said, in the Database Common Events tab I created a Condition Switch with the script call you posted for (dtb).

This is the only way I can get the game to go from an ATB to the DTB, but then I can't get it to go back to an ATB system.

Any other way either does nothing, crashes the game or makes it so I have no control over the actor.

May you please post the screenshots of your common events?

Sorry for the delay, bad weather knocked out my internet for a while there.

At any rate, I haven't been able to recreate the circumstance in which the game crashes, but I've attached a picture of the switch as it is now.

I'm very new to this so please bear with me, trying to work through different settings. I've ever tried reverting the battle system to a dtb style and having the catb be turned on but I got the same results, character is unable to move. Not really sure what else to try here.

You need another common event(called by something that changes the battle system to catb) using this script call:

$game_system.set_battle_systemcatb)So now you've 2 common events: 1 for changing the battle system to dtb, and another 1 for changing the battle system to catb.

The former is called by something that changes the battle system to dtb, and the latter is called by something that changes the battle system to catb

I'm not sure what exactly I'm doing wrong, now its just conflicting with other scripts at the end of combat.
