Mr. Mo v 5.5 + Immense Events

[DerVVulfman]

I chose to attack two birds with one stone.

Code:

#==============================================================================
# ** MrMo's Immense Events Patch
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#    by DerVVulfman
#    version 1.0
#    10-30-2024
#    RGSS / RPGMaker XP
#
#==============================================================================
#
#  INSTALLATION:
#
#  The Immense Events script must be below MrMo's ABS.
#  This patch goes below both.
#  Par-tay!
#
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
#  USAGE:
#
#  Apply the 'size' command used by Immense Events to the 'first page' in any
#  enemy event.  The size is only defined once for any event and won't reset.
#  Using the 'size' command multiple times for an event changing its graphics
#  will not function.
#
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------


#==============================================================================
# ** MrMo_ABS
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  This class deals with the Action Battle System and controls all Player,
#  Enemy and Companion Actions on the map.

The magic is instead moved into the in_range_ballistic? method.

  #    range  : range distance in tiles
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def in_range_ballistic?(x, y, target, range)
    #
    # Exit false if ballistic strikes parent/attacker
    return false if @parent == target
    #
    # Get differences
    change          = $ABS.get_size(target)

Similar to yours, it is more broad and decides to check if the parent is the target being passed into the method. If the target happens to be the parent, it will return 'false' indicating that the check is a failure. Thus, it will prevent the player from hitting itself, or prevent enemies from hitting themselves.

It is rather odd that the patch did not require this addition to the in_range_ballistic? method for the official v4.5 from 2006 and this edition you're using somehow does... something I clearly would not have expected.

FURTHER EDIT: I'd set the troll guy to a size of 3,3,2,2...  to allow for the player to miss if shooting horizontally and behind it... just the bottom two tiles for the whole 60 degree perspective thingamabob.   But that's me.
