class Scene_Battle

    # Create Alias

    #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    # * Frame Update (main phase step 4 : animation for target)
    #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    def update_phase4_step4
        # init critical flag to false
        crit_flag = false
        # check all possible targets for critical hits
        for target in @target_battlers
            # if critical hit occurred
            if target.critical
                # set flag and exit loop early
                crit_flag = true
                break
            end
        end
        # if critical hit occurred
        if crit_flag and @active_battler.is_a?(Game_Actor)
            # Set animation id
            animation_id_array = Mobius::Critical_Animations::ACTOR_ANIMATION_IDS[@active_battler.id]
            @active_battler.animation_id = animation_id_array[rand(animation_id_array.size)]
            @active_battler.animation_hit = true
        end
        # call original method
        mobius_update_phase4_step4
    end

end

and i think it needs some improvements
first, the animation will play when the actor is GOING to land a crit.
like in Persona 3/4/5 where the cut-in plays where they all like: A-HA! *cut-in plays* and then *lands a crit*

second, make this script have a seperate customization where
curtain enemies have a cut-in animation when landing a crit.

third, when an actor (or an enemy) exploits a weakness, there will be a 25% or 33% chance that the cut-in will play.

again, I DID NOT made this script i found it within the forums and it's actually made by @MobiusXVI

 

[MobiusXVI]

It's been a while since I wrote this so let me make sure I know what you're asking.

For #1, does it not currently play before the attack animation? When does it play right now?

For #2, you just want enemies to have cut-ins as well. Got it. Should be easy enough to do.

For #3, you want it so that the cut-in doesn't play every time a critical hit is scored, correct? You want it to randomly trigger only 25% or 33% of the time.

@MobiusXVI

For #1, does it not currently play before the attack animation? When does it play right now?

i want the actors to go all like: TAKE THIS! *cut-in plays* where they land a crit with a physical attack
like in Persona 3/4/5 here is the video example.

For #2, you just want enemies to have cut-ins as well. Got it. Should be easy enough to do.

and make sure that you have a seperate config for that.

For #3, you want it so that the cut-in doesn't play every time a critical hit is scored, correct? You want it to randomly trigger only 25% or 33% of the time.

not a crit, but an exploited weakness. where the actor goes all like:
A-HA! *(chance of) cut-in plays* and the *hits the enemy's weakness*

 

[MobiusXVI]

#1. So you want to be able to play a sound effect before the animation so that you can add a voice line. Is that right?

#3. If a battler (player or enemy) causes extra damage because they used a type of damage that the target is vulnerable to (for example using fire damage on a grass type like in Pokemon), then randomly determine with a set percentage whether to show the cut-in animation (and sound effect from #1). Is that right?

 

[MarioWidjaya123]

#1. So you want to be able to play a sound effect before the animation so that you can add a voice line. Is that right?

for the sound effect, yeah!
but for the voice line, uhh...i guess. probably.

#3. If a battler (player or enemy) causes extra damage because they used a type of damage that the target is vulnerable to (for example using fire damage on a grass type like in Pokemon), then randomly determine with a set percentage whether to show the cut-in animation (and sound effect from #1). Is that right?

yeah, exactly!

 

[MobiusXVI]

Ok so as I went to work on this I realized that the built in animation system already supports the use of sound effects. So I don't think you'll need any modifications to my script in order to play voice lines or sound effects (or really any sound you want) before the rest of the animation plays.

But for the other two requests... May I present to you version 1.5! Now with support for enemies and triggering on weaknesses.
