Blitz
by Dargor
Version 1.1


Introduction

I originally made this script for my Final Fantasy VI SDK and I felt like I had to to it for VX.
"Blitz" is a battle command also called "Deathblows" in FF6J. You guessed it, It requires my Custom Commands script!

How does it works? When selecting the Blitz command, you must Input a series of keys, like UP-Down-Up-L-R, to cast a skill.
Obviously, the actor must have learned the skill before casting it and the input must be right.
No Timing is required but if the input is wrong, nothing will happen and the actor will lose it's turn.

If a key is not working, try changing it by pressing F1 while in game, in the Keyboard tab.

Awesome script! Is there a way to make it so the command can't be used at first, i.e. an event needs to happen before you can use the Blitz command?

Thanks, I'm glad you like it :)

@Ryuxaki
Sure. First of all, you need an event at the beginning of your game to remove the command.
Use a script call with this line of code
$game_actors[actor_id].remove_command(Vocab::CommandBlitz)
Click to expand...
Then, when you want to add the command, use another script call with this line of code
$game_actors[actor_id].add_command(command_index, Vocab::CommandBlitz)
Click to expand...
actor_id is the ID of the actor
command_index is the position of the command in the command window (between 0 and whatever you want)

I'm getting the same problem as Mirku, and this is the only script I currently have in my VX. The error occurs when I try to start my game, and I haven't changed anything about the script or the game aside from adding skill #94 so that I can test it.

It's because you don't have the Custom Commands script :thumb:

This may be necro posting but I was wondering if it was possible to use the custom command built into RMVX to display the name of the Blitz command... Like if you were a Paladin your blitz command would read: "Holy", a Hunter: "Hunt" ect. Is this possible?

I have sorta been play around with ...

Code: 
actor.class.skill_name

...but cant seem to get things to work.

You're not necro posting at all. :thumb:
Right now, you can only have one command name but I can tweak it so it's different depending on the class.

I have updated the script. Now you also need the new version (1.5) of the custom commands script to be able to create substitutes of the Blitz command.

Sorry it took me so long to respond. The text is replaced just fine when i use...

Code: 
Vocab::CommandBlitz

however, when I select the blitz command during the battle menu nothing happens. I doesn't prompt me to input the blitz combination. Also, I noticed that when you don't succeed in completing a blitz or you execute a blitz that by default Dual Attack is used. Is this intentional? I never noticed it before...
