#
# INTRODUCTION:
#
# Rather than reinstitute the formation system I included and hardwired into
# "Minkoff's Animated Battlers - Enhanced", I decided to use an outside script
# that is highly customizable. With this add-on, the end user can design the
# battle formations for the actor battlers. They will start out and remain
# lined up in the order the end user sets up.
#
# The system recognizes the 'Mirror Effect' system in Animated Battlers VX,
# and will adjust and reverse the battler positions accordingly. You need not
# worry about creating duplicate formation entries for both left and right
# sided formations.
#
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# CREATING THE FORMATIONS:
#
# This system allows you to create multiple formations. This is accomplished
# by the way you use the 'ABATVX_FORMATION' array. The syntax is as follows:
#
# ABATVX_FORMATION = { id => [ formation set ], id => [formation set],... }
#
# So... with that, you can make multiple sets of formations which you can
# switch to while the game is running..
#
# Now... each formation set holds the x and y position for each actor battler
# in combat. Not by their 'Actor ID' mind you, merely by party member order.
# So the first member in your party,regardless of their position in your actor
# database, will be first battler position defined in the formation set. The
# layout for each formation set is as follows:
#
# [ [Battler 1's X & Y], [Battler 2's X & Y],... ]
#
# Most people would set a formation set with allowances for 4 battlers. But if
# you wanted to use a large party script to increase the number of members in
# your battle party, you can add more than 4 battler arrays like so:
#
# ...ON = { 0 => [ [350,200], [395,235], [440,270], [485,305], [530,340] ],
# 1 => [ [530,200], [485,235], [440,275], [395,305], [350,340] ] }
#
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# SCRIPT CALL:
#
# There's only one script call you should be familiar with right now, and that
# is the script call that changes the formation you want to use in battle. By
# default, the system uses the formation set by ID #0. But you can change the
# formation being used with the following call:
#
#
# The call is simple: $game_system.abatvx_form_id = number
#
# Where the number is the ID number of your formation. That's it.
#
#
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# TERMS AND CONDITIONS:
#
# Free to use, even in commercial projects. Just note that I need some form
# of due credit... even a mere mention in some end titles.
