Removing attack

[Tyranids]

i would like to remove the "attack" command so that all i can use are skills, because its a mage based game. And i would also like to replace the word "skill" with "spell"

You can change skill to spell with the system tab. For the removal attack you might want to use trickster's/sephirothspawn's Individual battle commands.

 

[Tyranids]

can you please link me to that?

 

[Trickster]

trickster's/sephirothspawn's Individual battle commands

Why not just use the persons name who posted it :P

But really don't use it right now the script is undergoing a major rewrite I might just trash it and start fresh

 

[Tyranids]

ok....im not that desperate for it...so could you please send me a private message when you have that?

No need to go that far. :-/ Just removing attack is easy.

First go to Scene_Battle 1, and look for these lines:

# Make actor command window
    s1 = $data_system.words.attack
    s2 = $data_system.words.skill
    s3 = $data_system.words.guard
    s4 = $data_system.words.item
    @actor_command_window = Window_Command.new(160, [s1, s2, s3, s4])
    @actor_command_window.y = 160
    @actor_command_window.back_opacity = 160
    @actor_command_window.active = false
    @actor_command_window.visible = false

And change it to look like this:

# Make actor command window
    s1 = $data_system.words.attack
    s2 = $data_system.words.skill
    s3 = $data_system.words.guard
    s4 = $data_system.words.item
    # this is the line we're changing, don't display attack, and make the window shorter
    @actor_command_window = Window_Command.new(128, [s2, s3, s4])
    @actor_command_window.y = 160
    @actor_command_window.back_opacity = 160
    @actor_command_window.active = false
    @actor_command_window.visible = false

Then go to Scene_Battle 3, and look for this code:

    # If C button was pressed
    if Input.trigger?(Input::C)
      y = @active_battler.battle_commands
      x = y[@actor_command_windows[@actor_index].index]
      case x
      when 0  # attack
        # Play decision SE
        $game_system.se_play($data_system.decision_se)
        # Set action
        @active_battler.current_action.kind = 0
        @active_battler.current_action.basic = 0
        # Start enemy selection
        start_enemy_select
      when 1  # skill
        # Play decision SE
        $game_system.se_play($data_system.decision_se)
        # Set action
        @active_battler.current_action.kind = 1
        # Start skill selection
        start_skill_select
      when 2  # guard
        # Play decision SE
        $game_system.se_play($data_system.decision_se)
        # Set action
        @active_battler.current_action.kind = 0
        @active_battler.current_action.basic = 1
        # Go to command input for next actor
        phase3_next_actor
      when 3  # item
        # Play decision SE
        $game_system.se_play($data_system.decision_se)
        # Set action
        @active_battler.current_action.kind = 2
        # Start item selection
        start_item_select
      end
      return
    end

And change it like this:

    # If C button was pressed
    if Input.trigger?(Input::C)
      y = @active_battler.battle_commands
      x = y[@actor_command_windows[@actor_index].index]
      case x
      when 0  # skill
        # Play decision SE
        $game_system.se_play($data_system.decision_se)
        # Set action
        @active_battler.current_action.kind = 1
        # Start skill selection
        start_skill_select
      when 1  # guard
        # Play decision SE
        $game_system.se_play($data_system.decision_se)
        # Set action
        @active_battler.current_action.kind = 0
        @active_battler.current_action.basic = 1
        # Go to command input for next actor
        phase3_next_actor
      when 2  # item
        # Play decision SE
        $game_system.se_play($data_system.decision_se)
        # Set action
        @active_battler.current_action.kind = 2
        # Start item selection
        start_item_select
      end
      return
    end

Voila! No more attack command.

 

[Tyranids]

ok thanx...what about changing skill to spell?
EDIT: i have done what you said for removing attack, and the attack command is still there

 

[Anonymous]

...

In the database, under the System tab.

 

[Tyranids]

oh yeh lol, i was loooking for system in the script editor. silly me, thanks a lot

 

[Kest]

EDIT: i have done what you said for removing attack, and the attack command is still there

Are you still having a problem with this?

 

[Tyranids]

ccoa, that removing attack thing that you gave me doesnt work

 

[Kest]

I'd have moved them all down one option (replacing attack) then cut off the extra bit instead of number skipping, personally... maybe there's something wrong with that, though. Gonna test.

Spoiler: Seems okay.

Paste in empty slot above main, below defaults blah blah.

[Tyranids]

ah...thank you very much kest, it works now

 

[Anonymous]

s1 = $data_system.words.attack

I don't know why Ccoa left this as this is what displays attack.

*rolleyes* No, no it isn't. This is the line that "displays" attack. Or rather, the line that tells the window to display attack.

@actor_command_window = Window_Command.new(160, [s1, s2, s3, s4])

And that's the line I changed.

No idea what you did wrong, Tyranids, it worked fine for me.

i did exactly wot u said, but nevermind, its sorted now, thanks everyone
