Question about Animated Battlers script!!

[RavenCloud]

hi there,

I am not a complete newby with rpg maker but this side-view script is quite hard to understand.

I really would like to know first where the line is to put the battlers in and where I can choose how many battlers are fighting. 1 or 4 or maybe 2.

Hm..I hope I can describe it cause englisch isn't my mother language.

There must be the line in the script where I can write down the name of the battle pics cause the script needs to know which picture it must choose for my battlers. Do you know what i mean.

and second the number of fighters and enemys which are fighting at the same time.and there is my next and 3rd question.

for example if there are 4 monsters and 2 battlers in a fight and this is writin in the script but how can I change it in the next battle...ahh I can't understand it.

I mean scripts are mostly for permanet/fix status but battles are not a permanent thing cause one time it is one enemy the next time there are 4 and with battlers too. Maybe i will start with only 1 battler and later the other party members join the party.

I hope you guys now what I mean and what I need.

I thank you a lot in advance.

Not really... this person assumes that the actual battles are set up in the script instead of the TROOPS section. There have been systems that set the battles in-script... but not this time.

You STILL set the battles up in the TROOPS page. It isn't a battle system. It translates your frontview battlesystem to emulate the sideview experience. What you do with this system is grab a bunch of sideview battlers (what we call spritesheet battlers) and import them into your system to use in place of your RTP battlers. You then configure Animated Battlers to your needs.

REMEMBER:
The demo and scripts are set up to show at least '1' RTP battler and '1' characterset battler. You'll have to turn these features off. Details in the first page on these functions.

Maybe I described it a little bit wrong. I didn't ment that I want my front view battle characters only changing with the side view ones. I really want a workin side view battle system.

Maybe like this one http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s279/RavenCloud_2007/Cybersam2.5.jpg

but the enemys should look in my direction XD...cause this is a little bit wrong cause all characters are lookin to the left but the enemy should look to the right.

So what I need is to know where I can change my battler pics in the script. Where I can choose the actions which my character and the enemys will do (like fightin,runing,or sittin when they are dead/down....do you know what I mean)

So I would like to know where in the script I can put the name in to choose a battler. Maybe the name of a battler pic is "Kosmos.png"

like this one
http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f45/unholyseraph/Kosmos.png.

So where in the script can I put this in that he really take that picture for my battle chara?

Then where can I change the actions for my chara cause you like you guys can see on the kosmos.png there are many actions like runnin,staying,punchin or gettin a hit. So how can I choose the action that I what and where should I write the down in the script.

And last but not least where is the line in the side view battle script where I can decide how many enemys and battlers are fightin in the battle.

Cause maybe in my story there is only one main character at the moment, so I only need one battler for the fight and not 4. So where can I deside how many charas are in the fight.

I hope that this describtion is better to understand than my last one.

Thank you a lot in advance and sorry for the extra work ^^"

You now, this has nothing to do with the script. You set it up in the database. Click on the menu Tools > Database. In the "Actors" sheet you can change all the stuff about the playable characters, in the "enemies" sheet you can set up your enemies, in the "troops" sheet you can join your enemies in groups, and in "system" sheet you can setup the starting playable party.

Then where can I change the actions for my chara cause you like you guys can see on the kosmos.png there are many actions like runnin,staying,punchin or gettin a hit. So how can I choose the action that I what and where should I write the down in the script.

This you need to change some stuff in the script. There's a instructions sction in the animated battlers thread I will not explain you here.
