QZPRODUCTIONS'S PROFILE

Hey all, so I'm trying to make an event where when an item is used, the player runs up automatically to the enemy event chasing them. For this I'm using Yanfly's Move Route Core plugin and using a "MOVE TO: EVENT X" script, however when testing this, the game softlocks upon collision with the enemy event. Checking the "skip if cannot move" box does not help either, and neither does making it "AVOID MOVE TO" or "CRASH MOVE TO". I'm assuming that the game is trying to get the player on the same tile as the enemy event rather than having them stop right next to the enemy event and that's what's causing the softlock. Am I just an idiot and don't know how to use the plugin correctly lol? Thanks!

Hey all, so my latest game has a system where each character has a special "Map Skill" that can be used on the map to, say, break boulders, light torches, etc. My current system TECHNICALLY works, but because it relies a lot on the correct collision between the player and the object in order to set a switch and variable that allows the common event to run, my beta testers sometimes struggle with getting it to work without a lot of readjusting the characters. So, it's playable, but definitely rough around the edges.

Essentially, Number Hotkey -> Common event -> if skill switches are on (usually by Player Touching the affected event), the skill triggers and the object is broken/burnt/etc. I can provide some event examples if needed.

What I want to know is whether there's a way to "interact" with objects in this way that bypasses the need for finicky and unreliable collision detection. While the current game is playable I feel like this would be a HUGE improvement on the map skills mechanic. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Hey it's me again \o/

So I've got some weapon unleash skills that work using Yanfly's attack replace and random skill evoke scripts, as well as calling common events to effect users' HP or MP. The skills in question are these:

a) A weapon unless that can cause instant death at the cost of half the user's Max HP
b) A weapon that inflicts normal damage but can randomly heal the whole party (+1/5th of the user's Max HP)
c) A weapon that inflicts triple damage at the cost of 1/5th of the user's Max MP

Which works fine most of the time, but my only problem? If the attack kills the last enemy in the battle, the common event doesn't get called, which means that the HP or MP effect will not occur. This is especially problematic for the 1st skill as the player could get away with all the benefits of the insta-death attack with none of the cost and I obviously don't want that, lol. I tried moving the death status inflict to the common event AFTER the HP blowback calculations, but I couldn't figure out a way to make sure it targeted the correct enemy.

So my question is, is there a way to force the engine to de-prioritize inflicting the death status effect until AFTER the common event is run? Or is there a way to force the common event to run after the last enemy has died?

Thanks :D

EDIT: Nevermind, I figured something out!

I know I just made a post not too long ago but Google is failing me in this; I bought RPG Maker VX Ace from the official website (not the Steam version) and want to reinstall it on a new laptop I'm getting soon; will I be allowed to do this or can each activation code only be used once? (Sorry if this is dumb orz)

Hey all, so I'm fiddle farting around with the battles for my next game and Google isn't being very detailed in its results when it comes to custom battle transitions for VX Ace. I found a few scripts (particularly for using the map as a battleback) but I'm still not sure how I can get them to do what I want it to do. See below for a concept I made of what I want the screen to do before a battle begins:



I'll also settle for a simple screen darken rather than a wipe if I need to. Any help on this would be much appreciated!
