A Skill that throws enemies?

[Bennerdeben]

FYI: The older RPGMaker 2000 and 2003 engines allowed enemies both an attack and a 2xAttack in their Enemy attack definitions... Another REMOVAL of a feature that Enterbrain liked to do (and then return it and say... oooh, new feature).

It is a shame they did this. Now we have to add any old-new features manually through scripting or eventing. And if you lack the scripting skills like I do its a pain. To be honest I never touched a RPG maker newer than XP. 2000 and 2003 is a long, long time ago.

About this script though, I found an error when I try to use the skill againt a party of 1 enemy. After the initial hit, it crashes before the second hit, saying "Script Game_Troop TypeError occured. no implicit conversion from nil to integer"

In the Editor it points at enemy = @enemies[enemy_index]

Code:

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Smooth Selection of a Target Enemy
  #     enemy_index : enemy index
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def smooth_target_enemy(enemy_index)
    # Get an enemy
    enemy = @enemies[enemy_index]
    # If an enemy exists
    if enemy != nil and enemy.exist?
      return enemy
    end
    # Loop
    for enemy in @enemies
      # If an enemy exists
      if enemy.exist?
        return enemy
      end
    end
  end
