AnimBat! - Animated Battlers - Comprehensive

[DerVVulfman]

redtri17 is now showing off. He reported another error, related to the first. I saw this at midnight, and figured it out 15 minutes later. How's that for analysis and system design?

We have to revisit the same method, the animbat_function_update_phase4_step3_pose_attack method. Just for cleanliness sake, just use THIS in its place. Yeah, it's the same line... but why take chances?

Code:

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Frame Update (main phase step 3 : animation for action performer)
  #   * Select Attack Pose
  #     battler : battler
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def animbat_function_update_phase4_step3_pose_attack(battler)
    base_pose   = hash_obtain2(battler, 7, AnimBat::POSE_07)
    temp_hash   = hash_obtain2(battler, nil, AnimBat::ATTACK_WEAPONS)
    unless temp_hash.nil?
      temp_pose = hash_obtain2(battler.weapon_id, nil, temp_hash)
    end
    base_pose = temp_pose unless temp_pose.nil?
    return base_pose
  end

But we're not done yet.

Look at the Hash Obtain2 method and how it looks. A clean method, it accepts a 'battler' as its initial value, recognizing it as an actor or enemy, and obtains the actor/enemy ID from it. But look further and see that it also accepts the ID of weapons or skills.

OOPS! I LEFT THAT PORTION OUT!

The fault does not lie within the hash_obtain2 method, but the base hash_obtain method which it uses. I needed to let it recognize if the value being sent into the method is an actual battler, or just some value to search... so replace the actual hash_obtain method with this! Erm, leaving hash_obtain2 untouched. That one's fine.

Code:

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Hash Value Obtain
  #     battler : battler being tested against (or ID if it is not a battler)
  #     default : default value
  #     testval : hash array
  #     minval  : (optional) minimum value
  #     maxval  : (optional) maximum value
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def hash_obtain(battler, default, testval, minval=nil, maxval=nil)
    if battler.is_a?(Game_Battler)
      id        = (battler.is_a?(Game_Enemy)) ? -battler.id : battler.id
    else
      id        = battler
    end
    returnval = default
    return returnval          if testval.nil?
    returnval = testval[0]    if testval.has_key?(0)
    returnval = testval[id]   if testval.has_key?(id)
    unless default.nil?
      returnval = minval      if minval != nil && returnval < minval
      returnval = maxval      if maxval != nil && returnval > maxval
    end
    return returnval
  end

And now, it's version 1.2!!! Dated 9/17/2019 (mm/dd/yyyy).

It'll take some time to generate all the demos. I have obligations to perform tomo--- this morning.
