Ccoa's side view battle script. Adding Animations

[Dko]

Simple question. Can some one explain how this script works to do the battle animations for characters and monsters? I want to change the script so there is two new animations. One for a strong attack and one for a weak. I understood a little but not all of it looking thru her code. (as is my problem with a lot of other peoples code)

I figured it out and here's how if anyone wants to know. :D
first you go into CONSTANTS and add to the list at the top the names of any character poses you want but number them bellow Victory. Victory has to be the highest number. Like this:

$BATTLEOPEN = 10
$ITEM = 11
$ATTACK_HIGH = 12 #Ive added these two
$ATTACK_WEAK = 13
$VICTORY = 14 # See how Victory is 14 now instead of 12?

Then you have to change CBS Scene_Battler at the define make_sprite_sheet. Here you will add a couple strings to allow RPG maker Xp to know what file name your new animations use.

def make_sprite_sheet
    if @battler == nil
      @spritesheet = Bitmap.new(1, 1)
      return
    end
    if @battler.is_a?(Game_Actor)
      @game_actor = true
      weapon = $data_weapons[@battler.weapon_id]
      if weapon != nil 
        begin
          RPG::Cache.battler(@battler.battler_name + "_attack_" + weapon.name.sub(" ", "_"), @battler.battler_hue)
          @pose_names = ["_ready", "_guard", "_hit", "_miss", "_skill_default", 
                     "_attack_" + weapon.name.sub(" ", "_"), "_lowhp", 
                     "_moveto", "_movefrom", "_dead", "_battle_open", "_item",
                     "_attack_high", "_attack_weak"] # added these
        rescue
          @pose_names = ["_ready", "_guard", "_hit", "_miss", "_skill_default", 
                       "_attack_default", "_lowhp", "_moveto", "_movefrom", 
                       "_dead", "_battle_open", "_item",
                        "_attack_high", "_attack_weak"]  # added these here too
        end
      else
        @pose_names = ["_ready", "_guard", "_hit", "_miss", "_skill_default", 
                       "_attack_default", "_lowhp", "_moveto", "_movefrom", 
                       "_dead", "_battle_open", "_item",
                      "_attack_high", "_attack_weak"] # added these here too
      end

So in my example <name>_attack_high.png will have your high atk animation for <name>
Then you can just use @active_battler.set_pose($ATTACK_HIGH, false) where you need to and volia! Your new animation should work.

you may lock topic if you wish :3

Interesting, I was about to ask that in the thread for the script, I'm glad you know now.
