RMMV Yanfly Action Sequence & Moving Rows

[AeroFunk80]

This is for MV.

I'm using Yanfly's action sequence pack and Row Formation. I'm attempting to do a skill that, if the enemy can attack... they use a ranged ability, but if the player is using barrier... the enemy is going to move forward 1 row instead. This is part of my action sequence, but the enemy isn't moving forward. I'm guessing I have the "row movement" incorrect, but I can't figure out what it should be. Any ideas (what I'm currently using is the red font below)?

<target action>
if target.isStateAffected(2)
if $gameVariables.value(14) >= 2
SE: VA_Lurker_Battle_05, 100, 100, 0
wait: 90
battler.alterRow(1)
else

Thanks in advance to anyone that can help.

you'll wanna replace battler with something like either... $gameActors.actor(1) or $gameParty.members()[0]... it depends on which battler you want to change rows.

second, you wanna put "eval:" in front of it because it's a script call. so something like...

eval: $gameActors.actor(1).alterRow(1)

that should move actor 1 by 1 row.

Thank you for this. I forgot to mention this is an enemy using that. How would I write that out? It's Enemy 3 in this situation.

 

[zerobeat032]

oh enemy 3, ok that'd be...

eval: $gameTroop.members()[2].alterRow(1)

it's 2 since these start from 0 I think. that should work.

Thank you. I'll give that a try!

@zerobeat032 is close, but it's the wrong idea to try to be using a specific troop member. That means you'd have to rewrite this entire skill and action sequence for each enemy depending on troop position...I don't even know how you'd make that work

Just use the variables provided to you in action sequences.

user.alterRow(1)

 

[zerobeat032]

crap lol... dunno why I didn't think to just use user. that way you aren't pigeon holed into needing the troop numbers all the time.
