About MACL. ?WaitCommand?

[mephisto]

Hello Again. I have a Little Question again.
In the MACL 2.1. I see in the Game_BattleAction Class, a method called: "WAIT_USING".

class Game_BattleAction
  #-------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Attack Using
  #   - Set this to the basic ids that perform an attack effect
  #-------------------------------------------------------------------------
  ATTACK_USING = [0]
  #-------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Skill Using
  #   - Set this to the kinds that perform an skill effect
  #-------------------------------------------------------------------------
  SKILL_USING  = [1]
  #-------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Defend Using
  #   - Set this to the basic ids that perform an defend effect
  #-------------------------------------------------------------------------
  DEFEND_USING = [1]
  #-------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Item Using
  #   - Set this to the kinds that perform a item using effect
  #-------------------------------------------------------------------------
  ITEM_USING   = [2]
  #-------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Escape Using
  #   - Set this to the basic ids that perform an escape effect
  #-------------------------------------------------------------------------
  ESCAPE_USING = [2]
  #-------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Wait Using
  #   - Set this to the basic ids that perform a wait effect
  #-------------------------------------------------------------------------
  [COLOR=Red]WAIT_USING  = [3][/COLOR]
end

Can somebody explainme: ?wich is the use of this method?

Thanks.:thumb:

I didn't do this, but I can only speculate...

Scene_Battle 4, under make_basic_action_results

    # If doing nothing
    if @active_battler.current_action.basic == 3
      # Clear battler being forced into action
      $game_temp.forcing_battler = nil
      # Shift to step 1
      @phase4_step = 1
      return
    end

I believe its for customizable commands, like Attack, Item, etc. The 3 is probably used for something like:

    # If doing nothing
    if Game_BattleAction::Wait_Using.include?(@active_battler.current_action.basic)
      # Clear battler being forced into action
      $game_temp.forcing_battler = nil
      # Shift to step 1
      @phase4_step = 1
      return
    end

Oh wait! Under MACL.RGSS.Action Test

  #-------------------------------------------------------------------------
  #   Name      : Is a Wait?
  #   Info      : Is Action a wait like command (That is, if basic is three
  #               Or if the action's basic is included in wait using and the 
  #               kind is 0)
  #   Author    : Trickster
  #   Call Info : No Arguments
  #-------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def is_a_wait?
    return (@kind == 0) && (WAIT_USING.include?(@basic) || @basic == 3)
  end

So you can just have:

    # If doing nothing
    if @active_battler.current_action.is_a_wait?
      # Clear battler being forced into action
      $game_temp.forcing_battler = nil
      # Shift to step 1
      @phase4_step = 1
      return
    end

My best guess at understanding the Boomerman's brain.

Ok. Another Question, This Method can be used to make an another option for the battle, like the enemy wait, but this time for the player?

 

[SephirothSpawn]

Its more for like making a new command. Yes, any battler can use this, but I believe is for things like Trickster's Advanced Battle Commands System.

I'll drag Trick over here to see if we wants to add anything...

Ok, I understand perfectly now.

Thanks.
