[e-z] DBS edit

[Despain]

hey everyone I need an edit to the default battle system to make it look cool.

I might be using backlers (battlers from the back-view so they face the enemy), or maybe little tiny cropped faces, or maybe not even battlers at all. You can pick whatever you want, really.

That's it, that's all I want. No specifics or anything I'm not picky. Just some positioning edits so it looks a little different than the regular DBS, but functions in pretty much the same way.

Thanks :3

Funny meeting you here...  :scruff:

Here are the 2 functions in Game_Actor that control the position of the battlers

class Game_Actor
  def screen_x
    # Return after calculating x-coordinate by order of members in party
    if self.index != nil
      return self.index * 160 + 80
    else
      return 0
    end
  end
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Get Battle Screen Y-Coordinate
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def screen_y
    return 464
  end
end

You can paste this in a script right above main if you don't want to edit Game_Actor directly.

The origin of each battler is in the center on the bottom.
If you want to raise them above the Status window, change screen_y to return 320.
If you want to change the positions in-game, then we'll have to add some logic.

If you want to mess with the x values, let me know & I'll help with the formula (if necessary)

Be Well
