Skill for changing character

[Swordhunter]

Hey, Im working on a Digimon game and I didn't find a way (event based) to that when lets say Agumon uses the attack called "Digivolution" he will be replaced with a Greymon that is the same level as the agumon. Some one can help me with this please?

 

[Kinnison]

Well, the command "Change Actor Graphic" is always there for you to use. You can do something like this (without script)

Have the Digivolution skill set to add the "Digivolve" status, then set the skill with common event. In the common event, set a conditional branch "If Agumon stat "Digivolved" is inflicted", change the actor graphic. If you want to make Agumon more powerful after digivolve, set "Digivolve" status to give additional power like STR to 150%

Hope you're understand. Eventing isn't that hard lol, scripting is :P

 

[Swordhunter]

I though about it but making this for each digimon its kind of a problem.
besides as a Greymon he has new attacks so Agumon need to be removed from the party and Greymon in untill his SP is over
Thanks any way
And I know, all my game for now is event based

BUMP..

Ok. Let me try this. Mind you, I have not opened rmxp to try this, so let me know if it doesn't work.

class RPG::Skill
  # skill_id => {actor_id => target_actor_id, ...}, ...
  Evolution_Skills = {}
  def evolution_skill?
    return Evolution_Skills.has_key?(@id)
  end
  def evolution_data
    return Evolution_Skills[@id]
  end
end

class Game_Battler
  alias_method :seph_actorevolution_amactr_se, :skill_effect
  def skill_effect(user, skill)
    result = seph_actorevolution_amactr_se(user, skill)
    if user.is_a?(Game_Actor) && skill.evolution_skill?
      data = skill.evolution_data
      if data.has_key?(user.id)
        $game_party.evolve_actor(user.id, data[user.id])
      end
    end
    return result
  end
end

class Game_Party
  def evolve_actor(actor_id, target_actor_id)
    actor = $game_actors[actor_id]
    return unless @actors.include?(actor)
    target_actor = $game_actors[target_actor_id]
    target_actor.exp = actor.exp
    @actors[@actors.index(actor)] = target_actor
    refresh
  end
end

So lets say skill 5, actor 1 evolves to actor 3, and actor 2 evolves to actor 4.

class RPG::Skill
  # skill_id => {actor_id => target_actor_id, ...}, ...
  Evolution_Skills = {}
  Evolution_Skills[5] = {1 => 3, 2 => 4}

Let me know if you need any further help.

Thanks a lot!!!!!!!!! I'll test it right a way
Edit: There can be a way to make the script work by name and not by ID? 'cause in my game you start with no digimons so Agumon for example can be number 3 by ID and it can be 1 by ID :S
Thanks for helping any way

 

[quily2002]

ID's are more or less set in your database, not how you aquire each member. For example, Arshes (is that his name? I honestly forget) is the First hero shown by default, and thus has Hero ID 1. Whether or not he's the first party member you get makes no difference; he'll always be hero ID 1

 

[SephirothSpawn]

Yeah. Use the actor id from the database. Don't use 001, just use 1.

 

[Swordhunter]

so I did  Evolution_Skills[5] = {6 => 7} Agumon's ID is 6 and Greymon's is 7 and it doesn't work when it uses this skill :\ its say there is a problem with line 33:    @actors[@actor.index(actor)] = target_actor

 

[SephirothSpawn]

Silly mistake on my part. I edited my code above. Try it now.

 

[Swordhunter]

Thanks for trying to help me but it gives me an error about line 3  Evolution_Skills[5] = {1 => 3, 2 => 4}

 

[SephirothSpawn]

Do you have
  Evolution_Skills = {}
above that line?

 

[khmp]

Are you putting an end after this code?

class RPG::Skill
  # skill_id => {actor_id => target_actor_id, ...}, ...
  Evolution_Skills = {}
  Evolution_Skills[1] = {1 => 3, 2 => 4}

 

[Swordhunter]

No I don't have another line above this
I belive this is the class there is a problem with, this is how it is in my project:

  
class RPG::Skill
 # skill_id => {actor_id => target_actor_id, ...}, ...
  Evolution_Skills[5] = {1 => 3, 2 => 4}
  def evolution_skill?
    return Evolution_Skills.has_key?(@id)
  end
  def evolution_data
    return Evolution_Skills[@id]
  end
end

 

[SephirothSpawn]

It should be:

class RPG::Skill
 # skill_id => {actor_id => target_actor_id, ...}, ...
  Evolution_Skills = {}
  Evolution_Skills[5] = {1 => 3, 2 => 4}
  def evolution_skill?
    return Evolution_Skills.has_key?(@id)
  end
  def evolution_data
    return Evolution_Skills[@id]
  end
end

 

[Swordhunter]

it doesn't give an error but it still doesn't work. I use the skill and nothing happens

 

[SephirothSpawn]

When I use this:

class RPG::Skill
  # skill_id => {actor_id => target_actor_id, ...}, ...
  Evolution_Skills = {}
  Evolution_Skills[1] = {7=>4}
  def evolution_skill?
    return Evolution_Skills.has_key?(@id)
  end
  def evolution_data
    return Evolution_Skills[@id]
  end
end

class Game_Battler
  alias_method :seph_actorevolution_amactr_se, :skill_effect
  def skill_effect(user, skill)
    result = seph_actorevolution_amactr_se(user, skill)
    if user.is_a?(Game_Actor) && skill.evolution_skill?
      data = skill.evolution_data
      if data.has_key?(user.id)
        $game_party.evolve_actor(user.id, data[user.id])
      end
    end
    return result
  end
end

class Game_Party
  def evolve_actor(actor_id, target_actor_id)
    actor = $game_actors[actor_id]
    return unless @actors.include?(actor)
    target_actor = $game_actors[target_actor_id]
    target_actor.exp = actor.exp
    @actors[@actors.index(actor)] = target_actor
    refresh
  end
end

It works. It doesn't show any animations or anything, but does switch the actors correctly as it should.

 

[Swordhunter]

I copyed the script and it works~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
