[XP]-Steal/Mug Script Combo Package!

[Kain Nobel]

Introduction

Good day everyone!

This is a Steal/Mug script, which allows you to designate a skill ID representing Steal or Mug. This script is pretty easy to set up and doesn't require events. There's no instructions included because this script is pretty self-explanetory and extremely easy to set up! However, if you're ever in doubt just reply here 'n I'll tell you how to.

This version is very BETA and will change to be more dynamic, but for now it gets the basic point across.

Requirements

SDK version 2.4 or higher, individual parts listing

GAME_BATTLER#ATTACK_EFFECT
GAME_BATTLER#SKILL_EFFECT
PART 3:SCENE_BATTLE
PART 4:SCENE_BATTLE

Place below 'SDK' & above 'main' if you don't already know :P

Demo

Don't have one, if enough people are having problems with this system or don't know how to use it, I'll create a one.

Author's Notes

Feel free to post any suggestions and/or report any bugs here. Absolutely free to use in commercial/non-commercial games so long as 1.) I am credited, 2.) You send me a friendly reply or PM telling that you'll be using it :thumb:

 

[Krobelus]

Oh wow, this is awesome! Do those hashes mean you can assign an infinite amount of items/weapons/armors to a single enemy?

-Krobe

 

[Kain Nobel]

Yeah, you can assign whatever kinds of items, weapons and armors as you want to your Enemies. I am pleased as it is a great first attempt at a Steal script, but after seeing Trickster's version I decided I wanted to re-write mine, and I aim to even make it better than his (but lets be modest here, Trickster's is still pretty cool :thumb

I will leave this Beta version posted until I get this one done, this is going to be a helluvalot cooler script if I ever finish it. I took alot of tips seeing his system, how he has Steal skills set up by Element ID, I'm going to do that too. Steal::Skill_ID will be the ID of the 'main' steal command, and you'll be able to assign other Steal/Mug-type skills in your Skill Menu too based off element tag.

Here is a teaser of the only thing I've gotten re-started on is the brand new Steal module.

do you know if this script or the updated one will be compatible with rye's cbs?

 

[Kain Nobel]

Depending, does the CBS use the SDK at all? If not, it shouldn't be that hard to implement, if you direct me to the script I'll see how it works. I did do this just based off Default BS and SDK method splits of Game_Battler #attack_effect and #skill_effect, but those should be easy mods.

This new version I'm working on will be easier to non-SDK, but will still require some edits depending on which CBS you're using. (This one is prettymuch outdated as of today, I re-wrote the entire script on a new project.) I'm about 70% done with it, lets hope I can get it up by tonight. When that one is done, I'll make quick 'n easy instructions for any exotic CBS you may need patch for.

I'll write instructions on how to plug the steal_effect commands 'n such into a non-SDK CBS for the *new* version when its up, for the old version Vs your CBS just link me to the script and I'll see what I can do with it if it doesn't work together already.

 

[Krobelus]

Oh wow! I like what I see so far! But be careful, too much hashes might scare off the newbs.. o.O

In any case.. what are the 'reserved' items for? Like.. key items that the opponent shouldn't be able to steal from you? And if you would, think about this; Make a hash allowing certain enemies whom can steal/mug to be able to use the item stolen afterwards, or make a skill to use the item stolen, and they have a chance to use the stolen item, or if they steal more, then it's randomized whichever item is used. And it can work for AI controlled Actors too..? haha..

And maybe the enemy can steal an item equipped to the Actor, and vice-versa, but then you'd have to make enemies be able to equip armors and weapons.. and if that were to happen then you might as well rewrite that script that someone (can't remember off the top of my head) made that allows copies of actors to be battled in place of monsters and you able to catch them and multiple copies as well. I have those scripts (which are surprisingly small) if you're interested in messing around with them.

But yea.. those are my 2943 cents for tonight =D, I can't wait to see the finished script!

Good Luck!

Here is the thread of that cbs:
http://www.rmxp.org/forums/index.php?topic=24608.0

it doesnt use SDK. But it's a large cbs with different scripts. I hope you can have a look at it
