How would I turn off the HUD (temporarily) on the Hero version of the XMS?

How would I turn off the HUD (temporarily) on the Hero version of the XMS?

With switches. There are 3 switches: 4,5,11 (i thought, i don't have rmxp right now)
one is for the hud, another is for the dashing system, and the last one is for the overdrive.

Got a question about the scripting.  I've gotten this error saying:

Script 'XRXS - XAS' line 877: NoMethodError occurred
undefined method `+' for nil:NilClass

and that line in the code says:

876        character_name = super
877        file_name = character_name + self.character_namesuffix.to_s
878        character_name = file_name if RPG_FileTest.character_exist?(file_name)

And as for my character file names I'm using, the base character sprite I'm using is called "YoungAlexander" while the attack sprite is "YoungAlexander_STICK_01".  I got the walking animation sprites working but anytime I try to attack with the "Stick" I get that error.

I'm trying to follow the examples in the XAS Demo, but I'm stumped up to this point.

I'm not too knowledgable in ruby script yet so any advice I'd be grateful for.

P.S. sorry I can't send screenshots or anything of the type, I'm writing this during my break from class.

It's the XAS script, try using "Ctrl_F" and searching the first few words.

@Ryosuke, in the scriplet where you define the weapon, you need to change the suffix to "_STICK_01". I believe the default one is "_SWD_01", you have to define the suffix in the script or it won't work.

@Regi

In the script, there's a section for activating a switch.

Find the lines:

DEFEAT_SWITCH_ID = {
   A=>B
}

Replace A with the ID of the boss, and B with the ID of a switch. Then create a new event on the map with Conditions "Switch B is On" and make things happen :smile:

i did all of this but it wont get the event work
my enemy ID is 10 and the event ID is 6
and i put this line in the XAS script u told me in page 10 of this topic:
  10=>6    #this is it

and in the event i put self switch B is on
but still nothing happend

thanks

 

[regi]

6 isn't the event ID, it's the global switch that's activated.

Instead of "Self Switch B == On", use "Switch [0006:] == On." (Or you can change 6 to another number.)

 

[XDarknessBoyX]

Thanks Regi
but...what if i want to use the self switch what should i do?

thanks and sorry for bothering

 

[regi]

You're going to have to modify the script if you want to use a self-switch, it's programmed so you have to use a switch.

Okay, so I've spotted a little glitch with the HUD. It only refreshes if you go to the menu and exit it. The problem is, if you change party members or use "Change Equipment", the HUD doesn't refresh and still shows the old equipment. Anyone know how to fix this?

 

[XDarknessBoyX]

Thanks Alot
for all who helped me in the XAS ABS

Note: all who helped me will have a Credit for it.

thanks all now i Complete my game now

 

[RyosukeTakahashiReX7]

Yeah, I did switch the weapon ID to "_STICK_01" but I still get the same error?

I'm getting a little more patient with scripting now that I got my finals done.  :lol:
Now I can start playing around with it again.

 

[regi]

Sorry, I can't figure out the problem. Maybe if you could post the whole weapon scriptlet, that would help.

~~~
By the way, anyone figure out how to make the HUD refresh more often (read my previous post)?
Or, is there a way to make it refresh manually (using a call script)?

(And whatever happened to the site you made?)

 

[6]

Can anyone tell me where to set up the ammo projectile weapons use?
Because at the moment all my projectile weapons have to use the same ammo.
And the new ones won't show the amount of ammo on the HUD...

 

[RyosukeTakahashiReX7]

This is the individual script for the weapon itself.

module Database_Bullet
  action_id = 1
  SUFLAGS[action_id] = 22 
  DURATIONS[action_id] = 22
  SELF_MOTIONS[action_id] = "_STICK_01"
  plan = []
  plan[5] = action_id 
  ATTACK_ID_PLANS[action_id] =  plan 
  ATTACK_RANGE_TYPES[action_id] = SQUARE
  ATTACK_RANGE_PLANS[action_id] = [1]
  BLOW_POWERS[action_id] = 1
  SELF_ANIMATION_PLANS[action_id] = []
  SELF_DAMAGES[action_id] = false
  PLAYER_DAMAGES[action_id] = false
  IGNORE_INVINCIBLES[action_id] = false
end

And this is a part of the XRXS-XAS code that the error happens,
which is at the "module XAS_CharacterName_Suffix"
this code starts at line 698:

How can i edit the script so that it would be a party battle like in the seiken densetsu games??

 

[RyosukeTakahashiReX7]

I don't suppose anyone has gotten the Hero Edition translated yet?
I'm not trying to rush anyone, just curious.

 

[merfie]

Has anyone found a compatible script that lets you switch party leaders.  So I could have an archer, mage, and fighter in my party and press a button to switch between the 3 of them.

 

[ThePhoenixFeather]

You can just edit it. i made a pretty good game out of it.

I'll try to edit it.... But thanks also!!

Okay, forget my last question for now, I've been working with 2.0 for a bit and have a different question .  I notice that the Skills tab in the database is used for everything like player weapons, player/monster skills, and items.  My question is, would it be possible to shorten up that list by using a type for weapons instead of seprating each weapon in the skills tab?

Example: Sword, Fire Sword, Ice Sword, Claymore, Bastard Sword, Short Spear, Fire Spear, Ice Spear, Pike, and Lance, are all the weapons I want to use in my game (I actually plan on the weapons available in the triple digits).  Could I seperate them in to these into classes like Sword, Fire Sword, Ice Sword, Spear, Fire Spear, Ice Spear?

Unless the Skill ID effects the weapon individually, then I guess my idea goes down the crapper. XD
