VARON1999'S PROFILE

author=GreatRedSpirit
Sorry for the delay, here's a fixed version that works with Yanfly's battle system. Download the demo project here. I changed items so they used a tag in the notebox that made items that didn't target dead characters do so rather than my original attempt that made items that target dead characters also target alive ones. The whole thing of how RM handles targeting dead/alive characters is just fucked up.

There is an issue where the animation to revive a character doesn't play under certain circumstances (like a character dying in battle), but after some testing it's a bug in the Ace's animation system or YF's battle system and I really don't want to delve into either to find out what's causing it.

Here's a dump of the scripts too:

$imported = {} if $imported.nil?
if($imported["YEA-BattleEngine"])

        set_select_flag(:dead) if $game_temp.battle_aid.for_dead_friend? # GRS
      elsif $game_temp.battle_aid.for_user?
        battler = BattleManager.actor

This helps alot, thank you!

Even tho the animation of the skill is not shown properly (It shown only the end of the animation instead of whole thing)

RPG Maker has always been stupid when it comes to targeting allies: There's a divide between dead and not-dead allies. Try using Yanfly's Target Manager script and adding this to the skill's tag:

<targets: target all allies>

and see if that does the trick. I haven't tested it but hopefully it'll ignore the Dead state when targeting all allies. If that doesn't work I'll whip up a script to do it instead.

I added the script, and inputted the command in the skill
it still doesn't work (only heal the living allies). I had "Remove State: Death 100% in effect
I also tried Scope: All Allies (Dead) with the script attached as well but it only revived dead allie and not healing the living ones.

I have a skill that can revive dead allies and also heals to full, but when I tested it out, it only heals the living allies but not reviving the dead.

I want it to revive dead allies + heal to full and then heal other living allies to full as well, is there a script for this?

Hello everyone!

My name is Varon, I am pretty new to this community (I actually posted 2 questions before introduction because I was in hurry of doing a big project)

I am also pretty new to RPG Maker VX Ace, I love this program a lot, I learnt a lot of new things from this community (eventings and switching)

Right now, I am working on a project called "Fallen Petals", it's a romance/comedy RPG about love story of a goddess and a human boy, the story set in when the human boy was the prince of Elusia, he has a best friend as the Goddess of Elusia, she is indeed a Goddess sent by the Creator to assist the human but the drawback is limited power and she may not create any love relationship (best friend is ok) with human unless some conditions.

The prince is named Elicipher and his best friend is Efeilia, the young girl who just turned 14.

The game is pretty much like 1.7% completed due to I am the only one who work on this game, but I received some other useful stuffs like graphic from the program and other assets of other sources as well, right now I am working on customized animations for skills and attacking.

The aspects of this game are grinding, strategies, riddles and has only 1 ending (maybe?), I might post the demo-version of the game but don't know where yet...

This game will be completely free after it's completed, but there will be donation options if you wish to donate 1$ to support me to make sequel of this version (I am really hyped when someone actually do that lol). There might be 2 sequels of this game but I don't know yet.

Right now, the items/weapon/armors are mostly finished, now I need to work on the town and 1st actual map (like the journey begins), and more!
This is currently in testing-mode, so that means you start as lv 50 with final-gears and skills, just for testing only, but you can walk around, battle or proceed the story (it's short as hell now lol)

I might be searching for spriter but maybe not yet...

So...Hi people! :)

I am having trouble on making cutscene for prologue, when you start new game, it's suppose to be blacked out and then some dialogue pops up.

I tried fadeout event but when I started the game, it shows the map where the player
is and then fadeout and doing cutscene.

I wanted it to blackout when pressed New Game.

Any instructions will save my day!
