Fog in Battle?

[seita]

Hey people. Relatively simple question, is it possible to use Fog in a battle? I've tried various event commands during battle, but nothing seems to work in this case.

I've been wondering this to.

that worked Nicely O_o quick response. Thanks a lot SS, good job as always.

edit: though I suppose there's no way around not being able to test battle via the database?

Also, is there a way to make random encounters have their own custom fog? Per map would work perfectly I think. If not, this is perfect. Thanks a ton~

Try this for test battles:

      end

    end
    # Update fog plane

    @fog.zoom_y = $game_map.fog_zoom / 100.0

  end
end

# If Battle testing
if $BTEST

#==============================================================================
# ** Scene_Title
#==============================================================================

class Game_Party
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Alias Listings
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  alias_method :seph_battlefogs_scnbtl_sbtm, :setup_battle_test_members
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Battle Test
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def setup_battle_test_members
    # Original Setup Battle Test
    seph_battlefogs_scnbtl_sbtm
    # Setup Game_Map
    $game_map.setup(1)
  end
end

end

There is a way. Something like this:

class Game_Troop
  #fog_name                 # fog file name
  #fog_hue                  # fog hue
  #fog_opacity              # fog opacity level
  #fog_blend_type           # fog blending method
  #fog_zoom                 # fog zoom rate
  #fog_sx                   # fog sx
  #fog_sy                   # fog sy
  Specific_Fog_Effects = {}
  alias_method :seph_specifictroopfogeffects_gmtroop_setup, :setup
  def setup(troop_id)
    if Specific_Fog_Effects.has_key?(troop_id)
      Specific_Fog_Effects[troop_id].each do |key, value|
        eval "$game_map.#{key} = #{value}"
      end
    end
    seph_specifictroopfogeffects_gmtroop_setup
  end
end

Now lets say for troop 1, you want the fog to turn to "001-Fog01". You would add:

  Specific_Fog_Effects[1] = {'fog_name' => "001-Fog01"}

Below

  Specific_Fog_Effects= {}

You can do that for each of those keywords listed above the Specific_Fog_Effects = {} lines.

I see, so if you wanted to be more specific, it would be like so:

Specific_Fog_Effects[1] = {'fog_name' => "001-Fog01", 'fog_opacity' => "100"}

right after

Specific_Fog_Effects= {}

and so forth?

 

[SephirothSpawn]

Yep. I didn't test it, so if any errors occur, let me know.

Hi, i have a question. How can the fog be moved in a battle. It seems to be frozen.
