[Resolved] Screen shake on Critical hit.

[zealex]

Can someone please tell me, what do I need to add and where, to make it so that the screen would shake when an actor or an enemy makes a critical hit in battle?

Thanks a bunch.

      target.animation_id = @animation2_id
      target.animation_hit = (target.damage != "Miss")
      if target.critical
        $game_screen.start_shake(HitShake::Power, HitShake::Speed, HitShake::Duration)
      end
    end
  end
end

Coded this up quickly.
Thanks to Trickster and Raz for their help.

Thanks alot! Finally someone replied

Although, I get an error, it is incompilant (or compactible, dunno what's the difference :p) with RTAB.
Sorry for not telling this before, but I didn't really think it will affect it. Also, I was afraid no one is going to help me, since alot of people hate RTAB for some reason... :-\
Could you please make it compactible with the RTAB?

But thanks again! I really appreciate it.

Well erm, I don't know how to use RTAB, the coding is right a mess.
But I recommend Trickster's RTAB. It work the exact the same as the RTAB you're using. (The code I coded quickly will work) And its highly compable with most scripts.

But. If you insist on using RTAB, Perhap DerVVulfman will help you to convert it to the RTAB Coding, As he knows the system well.

Sorry I couldn't help, you didn't waste my time. I learned a valuable lesson in my 'Scripting Learning Progress'.

EDIT:
DerVVulfman has converted the code, here it is, credits to him.

Do I need to say anything? Just look at the coding difference.

They really need to put DerV's name on the RTAB. He has done probably more work for the RTAB then the RTAB. 'Tis a shame to see his talents... just so focused on something so pain-in-the-assy. Just redo the rtab the same, just fix all those non-needed method rewrites, variable names, etc. There really was no reason to do that other than destry compatability.

Anyways, let us know if what the two of them together gave you works.

Good work Kuri$u and DerV (What do we have to do to get you to join our side?).

Actually DVV has already converted the script for me trough PM, yesterday. And fixed a little bug too. It works great.

Thanks for the help everyone.
