Problems with counteraatack addon of Atoa Custom Battle System

[DerVVulfman]

I have the demo. I inserted the ATB addon (not the CTB addon) above the counter attack script, and then set up 'ALL' my actors to perform a simple general attack if they were themselves attacked. Each one had:

Code:

{'type' => 4 } => {'type' => 0}

in their case. I deleted everything else as I didn't want any counter attack except that one. And I got nothing.

I then swapped the ATB addon with the CTB. Hey, you can't use both at the same time. And with the same luck.... none.

I did some testing, and found the set_counter_condition method that detects who the attacker and defender are, and confirmed that it is passing the data, but the freakin counter attack isn't HAPPENING!!!!

You want a reaction if actor #17 is attacked by an enemy, right? Fine. I wrote an end run around. Paste THIS below the counterattack script. Just remember that the counter attack script needs either the ATB or CTB addon too.

Code:

# COUNTER ATTACK ADDENDUM

#  This system merely uses Atoa's counter attack system for the purposes of
#  turning on a switch which can be used to trigger an event, be it a battle
#  event or map event.

#
  DEFENDING_ACTOR     = 17   # This is your chosen actor (You'll prolly use 17)
  DEFENDING_STATE     = 91  # If the actor has to be status inflicted (else nil)
  
  ENEMY_INDEX         = nil #2   # Know the index of the enemy? If not, set to nil
  AGGRESSIVE_ENEMY_ID = nil #1   # Want to go by an ID Enemy Database ID?
  
  COUNTER_SWITCH_ID   = 15  # This sets what RMXP switch is turned on for your
                            # responce

end

I set the actor to be tested as actor #17, he requires to be inflicted by state #91, and I 'nil'ed out the enemy data, so any enemy attacking him will turn on an RPGMaker switch. That switch, I defined as switch #15.

These are editable at the top of the script.

You wanted a conditional branch to occur if an actor was attacked? There you go.

Just be sure to reset the switch when needed.
