Weapons that attack all enemies

[Riotsword]

Hello everyone. I was wondering if there was a way, either by events or through scripting, to be able to set a weapon (or specific character)'s attack to hit every enemy. I've tried the search function in these forums, and the results are far too broad to be able to find any help without browsing through endless pages of results.

The help would be much appreciated.

Hmmm... Try this:

#==============================================================================

# ** Weapon Scopes: Attack All

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# SephirothSpawn

# Version 1.0

# 2010-02-25

#==============================================================================

 

module WeaponScopes

  # weapon_id, ...

  Attack_All_Weapons = []

end

 

class Scene_Battle

  alias_method :seph_weaponscopesallenemies_ses, :start_enemy_select

  def start_enemy_select

    if @active_battler.current_action.kind == 0 && @active_battler.current_action.basic == 0

      if WeaponScopes::Attack_All_Weapons.include?(@active_battler.weapon_id)

        phase3_next_actor

        return

      end

    end

    seph_weaponscopesallenemies_ses

  end

  alias_method :seph_weaponscopesallenemies_mbar, :make_basic_action_result

  def make_basic_action_result

    if @active_battler.current_action.basic == 0 && @active_battler.is_a?(Game_Actor) && WeaponScopes::Attack_All_Weapons.include?(@active_battler.weapon_id)

      @animation1_id = @active_battler.animation1_id

      @animation2_id = @active_battler.animation2_id

      @target_battlers = []

      for enemy in $game_troop.enemies

        @target_battlers << enemy if enemy.exist?

      end

      for target in @target_battlers

        target.attack_effect(@active_battler)

      end

      return

    end

    seph_weaponscopesallenemies_mbar

  end

end

That should do the trick. Just change the line below with all weapons that attack all enemies:
Attack_All_Weapons = []

For example, if weapons 2, 3, 6, 7 & 12 all attack all enemies:
Attack_All_Weapons = [2, 3, 6, 7, 12]

I had a "syntax error" at first, but deleting all of the extra line numbers did the trick, and the script works like a charm! Thank you so much!

Goofy thing with the code tag mod we're using. You need to poke "LINE NUMBER ON/OFF" before "SELECT ALL" when you cut & paste.

theory and I made it on request a while back, and it's fairly simple to use. If you can't figure out how to get it to work from the posted script, look at the link above. The instructions are in the header.

The sad thing is that I've had this script linked in my signature for a while now.
