[Yanfly's Action Sequence 3] Using it's power for scripted battles.

[Ragnak]

Well, after reading the documents and searching the web... I gave up and decided to ask in the forums.

I saw the big potential in that plugin to make fantastic scripted battles, like zooming in to the allies when discusing between themselves, or to the enemy... well, you can imagine. It's adds some dinamism. And not only #3, #1 and #2 too! But I have no idea how I could "call" (is that even the right word?) the plugin in the events.

The way I do it is by having battle triggers in the troop set up. When something happens like the enemy has half health, it forces a character to do an action and I use that action as the call for the event sequence I want to do. Is that what you're looking for?

Mmmm... like, having a "skill" set when Enemy<50% HP, using the commands in the Skill note tag to orchestrate the event? Mmmm... but how about at the start of the battle? I was thinking in a more direct aproach, directly from the battle events. But, being still new with MV, I can't think in a solution yet =/

You could do what @brendonx said. Just set the condition to be Turn 0 so that it will be run at the start of the battle. Make it force a dummy skill where you have your action sequence.

I tried brendonx method. First I created a new sequence for a tech (1 hour of work. That's the life of the newbie), and then, just for the heck of it, tried elaborate a way to call and script action to show a message before the attack (like "Here I come!"). The theory was: If I could do that simple thing, maybe the brendonx's method wouldn't be that complicated.

I failed miserably and ragequitted the maker ¬¬ the animation was great but the message didn't even bother to show up.

The easiest way to get text to appear is by using the note tag that calls a common event and in the common event put what ever you want to say there. I can't remember the note tag for it but it's in the video by yanfly about the plugin.
