what this is: this is like the Blitz skill found in Final Fantasy 6, used by Sabin

what it does: it requires you to input a series of button presses and does an attack based on the button presses

how to do it: go into a battle, pick blitz, input a series of button presses and when you are done press 'enter'

idea to do this goes to eccid



create a new class, at 9 call it whatever
the blitz skills are skills, you learn them just like any other skill, and if you don't know them then you can't use them, for the description put the commands that are required to use it, make them only useable in battle, and make a failure one that targets one enemy, so that if they mess up they don't know, until it executes it

it selects who attack or heal randomly, if you don't like that, then fix it yourself!! or ask and i might do it, it depends, okay now get ready for some editing, woohoo




in Scene_Battle 1 somewhere in def main, put

Code:

@blitz = Window_Base.new(0,0,0,0)
    @blitz.active = false

in def update, still in Scene_Battle 1 put

Code:

if @blitz.active == true
      blitz_update
    end

in Scene_Battle 3 go to def update_phase3_basic_command, then in
if Input.trigger?(Input::C) go to when 1 and under
$game_system.se_play($data_system.decision_se)
add

Code:

if @active_battler.class_id == 9
          @command = []
          @i = 0
          @blitz.active = true
          @skill = nil
          @active_battler.current_action.kind = 1
          @actor_command_window.active = false
          @actor_command_window.visible = false
        else

be sure to put an end right above when 2

then above def update_phase3_item_select

Code:

def blitz_update

      if Input.trigger?(Input::UP)
        @command[@i] = 1
        @i +=1
      end

      if Input.trigger?(Input::DOWN)
        @command[@i] = 2
        @i +=1
      end

      if Input.trigger?(Input::LEFT)
        @command[@i] = 3
        @i +=1
      end

      if Input.trigger?(Input::RIGHT)
        @command[@i] = 4
        @i +=1
      end

      if Input.trigger?(Input::X)
        @command[@i] = 5
        @i +=1
      end

      if Input.trigger?(Input::Y)
        @command[@i] = 6
        @i +=1
      end

      if Input.trigger?(Input::Z)
        @command[@i] = 7
        @i +=1
      end

      if Input.trigger?(Input::L)
        @command[@i] = 8
        @i +=1
      end

      if Input.trigger?(Input::R)
        @command[@i] = 9
        @i +=1
      end

      if Input.trigger?(Input::B)
        # if you want anything to happen when player tries to cancel put it here
      end

      if Input.trigger?(Input::C)
        for i in 1...$game_temp.blitz_list.size
          if @command == $game_temp.blitz_list[i]
            @skill = $game_temp.blitz_skill[i]
            Input.update
          end
        end
        if (@skill == nil and @command.size >= 1) or (not @active_battler.skill_can_use?(@skill.id))
          # ブザー SE ã‚’æ¼”å¥?
          @skill = $data_skills[89] #change the 89 to the skill that you want it to use upon blitz failure
        end
        @active_battler.current_action.skill_id = @skill.id
        @blitz.active = false
        @actor_command_window.active = false
        @actor_command_window.visible = false
        if @skill.scope == 1
          @active_battler.current_action.target_index = rand($game_temp.battle_troop_id.size) - 1
          phase3_next_actor
        elsif @skill.scope == 3 or @skill.scope == 5
          @active_battler.current_action.target_index = rand($game_party.actors.size) -1
          phase3_next_actor
        else
          phase3_next_actor
        end
      end
    end

and make this a new script somewhere before main(right click and pick insert)

the list above is just a sample, for it to work for you, you will have to do a little bit of editing

put this in the sample list to make a new blitz attack

$game_temp.blitz_list[?] = [blitz input]
$game_temp.blitz_skill[?] = $data_skills[skill]

okay just put all the skills that you want to be a blitz in the sample list,

for the ?'s just put the next number from the other ones, the next one would be '4', you have to put the same number in for both the blitz_list and the blitz_skill or it won't work how you want it too. blitz input is the buttons you want to have pressed to activate it, and skill is the id of the skill you want to use upon correct blitz input. the blitz's are tied in to the skills, so you can put anything that you want in here for the blitz's, you will get a failure unless the blitz character knows the skill, so you can learn new blitz's like you would learn skills

since the blitz character can't select skills in battle, the only way for him to do them is to input them correctly, the same goes for the menu, since you make them only useable in battle, you can't use them there, you can only view them


[align=center]NEW!![//align]

okay the blitz_update that was posted above is for random selection of the enemies to attack the one i'm about to post is if you want the player to be able to pick the character to attack so if you do indeed want this then replace the def blitz_update from above with this

Code:

def blitz_update
    if Input.trigger?(Input::UP)
      @command[@i] = 1
      @i +=1
    end

    if Input.trigger?(Input::DOWN)
      @command[@i] = 2
      @i +=1
    end

    if Input.trigger?(Input::LEFT)
      @command[@i] = 3
      @i +=1
    end

    if Input.trigger?(Input::RIGHT)
      @command[@i] = 4
      @i +=1
    end

    if Input.trigger?(Input::X)
      @command[@i] = 5
      @i +=1
    end

    if Input.trigger?(Input::Y)
      @command[@i] = 6
      @i +=1
    end

    if Input.trigger?(Input::Z)
      @command[@i] = 7
      @i +=1
    end

    if Input.trigger?(Input::L)
      @command[@i] = 8
      @i +=1
    end

    if Input.trigger?(Input::R)
      @command[@i] = 9
      @i +=1
    end

    if Input.trigger?(Input::B)
    end


    if Input.trigger?(Input::C)
      for i in 1...$game_temp.blitz_list.size
        if @command == $game_temp.blitz_list[i]
          @skill = $game_temp.blitz_skill[i]
          Input.update
        end
      end

      if (@skill == nil and @command.size >= 1) or (not @active_battler.skill_can_use?(@skill.id))
        # ブザー SE ã‚’æ¼”å¥?
        @skill = $data_skills[89]
      end
      @active_battler.current_action.skill_id = @skill.id
      @blitz.active = false
      @actor_command_window.active = false
      @actor_command_window.visible = false

      if @skill.scope == 1
        start_enemy_select Â�  Â�  Â�  Â�  Â�  Â�  Â�  
      elsif @skill.scope == 3 or @skill.scope == 5
        start_actor_select
      else
        phase3_next_actor
      end
    end
  end

things still to add
I will put these in based on what yall think. So, what do you think?


put a time limit to input blitz attack(yet again, maybe not)
not let it go back to character if they mess up blitz, like if you know that you messed up and you want to try again


as far as i know there are no problems so..... if you find one you know what to do


Theres a demo below too, so try it out there if you want
