Mr. Mo v 5.5 + Immense Events

[Tepe]

Yea it's working now but problem is of Event vs Event not Player versus Event. :D

[DerVVulfman]

Define.  Do you mean enemy ballistics hitting another enemy or enemy melee hitting another enemy?

Because here, it appears that enemy to enemy ballistic volleys work.

So are you talking melee? I need a 'clearer' reply.

[Tepe]

Create 2 events, one with id 1 and the other with id 2, hostile to each other and they would shoot at each other. Set them on the map so that they are separated by a greater distance and give one event larger dimensions via Immense Events. The effect will be that the projectiles will be nullified and will not deal ranged damage to the second event.

The issue is not Weapons, but Skills.... Game_Ranged_Skill has its own variation of the 'check_event_trigger_touch' method.

When I made Lycan, I moved this basic catch-all method into Range_Base

I guess I'm going to be moviing "Is_Range_Ballistic" into the Game_Range class so it can be used by both, and have a separate check_even_trigger_touch' for Game_Range_skill...

EDIT 1: Oh, for pity sake... the method for SKILL is virtually the same for WEAPON. Only difference is how it skips skill attacks or permits em in code. Same result, different way of writing it.

Lycan Abs is a very good ABS, but too complicated for me. I use your scripts, but in simple structures, such as modules. It would be good if there was a clean version of Lycan ABS and add-ons as plugins. At the moment it is hard for me to get my head around it, so I used another version of Mr. Mo. From the one I sent you, I would like to throw out the SDK in the future and switch to XPAce because, to tell you the truth, the SDK is problematic in my opinion. Especially if you mainly script in the frontend. Sorry for the off-topic.

[DerVVulfman]

Its time we get missile fire working...

It was an oddity.   The SKILL missile system did not perform regular updates of the 'force_movement' system which moves the projectile mathematically and then tests it for collision.  At least, when I placed a simple 'p' print command within, it did not function.  SO, I added a little more to the class to test the position of the skill missiles... and boom!

That, and the check_event_trigger_touch combined allows things to seriously go ballistic.

It shouldn't harm the official version 4.5 which was MrMo's last actual version, just performing the 'trigger touch' test a second time.

# ** MrMo's Immense Events Patch
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#    by DerVVulfman
#    version 1.2
#    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.

Been thinking of creating a second script for Lycan... a user's EDITOR of sorts that would let you configure 'on screen' like if it was a secondary "RMXP Database" screen (ala Actor Database, Weapon Database... etc). That could be handy.

---

The SDK had a good precept, smaller bite-sized modules for easier coding and a 'standardization' on coding procedures. BUT poor at execution as the guys kept revising it over and over. However, the SDK team created Scene_Base one year before Enterbrain... er... borrowed it... (cough) ... for RPGMaker VX.

XPAce is something if you want faster performance, but one need have license for both products. And when someone who told me he was coding in XP wanted a script, the script did not work, only to find out he was using XPAce. So it is not entirely compatible.

The HiddenChest executable by kyonides actually works fine for those wanting to set their XP games at a faster rate than 40fps... I've tried it. Now if he could get all the DLL files merged into one to make distribution easier...
