CRAZYROB'S PROFILE

This is just something I cooked up out of necessity. I have a custom game over, but random encounter party wipes won't trigger it. Hence, I needed my overworld random encounters to be events.

In my dungeons, I have a "Monster God" event that dictates what each monster event will do in terms of pursuit, combat, and death. It's pretty straightforward- get within a certain range, the monster pursues until you leave that range. On contact, battle is engaged. Once the monster dies, the only way it will respawn is if you leave the dungeon.

But on the overworld, having an event handle hundreds of monsters would be taxing on me and the game.

This is where F.A.M.E. comes in.



Image 1 shows a simple "Radar" system that has served me better than anything else I could find for event pursuit purposes. With the x and y settings as they are, it checks constantly in a 7x7 square grid, centered on the monster event, for the player.

That condition satisfied, it flips switch A on. (Note: Yes, the script call is inefficient. I was testing to make sure it works and left it in.) Everything below the cutoff of the event window is branch ends- you're not missing anything.





Image 2 shows a simple event touch setup for combat. Processes for Win, escape, and defeat. 2b shows the movement used for the chase- speed 3 for four steps, speed 4 for 1 quick step- enough to catch an unwary player off guard, but not one that knows what they're doing. After that, switch a shuts off, back to page 1's radar evaluation. From my tests, the processing occurs so quick no noticeable delay occurs if the player is still in range, but the chase ends if they escape the radar range.



Page 3 is where the monster remains dead for 300 frames/five seconds. Enough time to make a getaway, but not so much to disrupt farming.

Of course, adjustments could be made to the event. The frequency of movement is best kept at a maximum for smooth moving, but speed and range of radar could be adjusted to create a short sighted but fast moving monster, or a slow-moving one that would follow you to the ends of the earth. (Or at least until the region block.)

I am almost certain that someone has developed something like this, or has done it better, but for those who want something that doesn't require scripting knowledge, here it is. Credit is nice, but not necessary.

So, I'm using Yanfly's TP script.

What I am trying to do is make it so that certain skills cannot increase tp, i.e: a person with the "striker" (gain tp by causing HP damage) charger can't get recursive tp by using a limit break, nor could a healer get more tp by using a healing limit break.

Is there any possible method to accomplish this? I'm not an accomplished scripter, so any advice would be appreciated.
