XSHOBUX'S PROFILE

How does the @dynbattlechoices_next_action work? I currently have an event page set up to trigger 1x turns elapsed, with the comment command in it, so that I can keep track of the last action, skill, etc taken, but the command doesn't change any of the specified variables I set. I've read the source code and from what I understand the command should write to the variables I specified in the dynrpg settings, but they always remain unchanged.

Edit: Turns out test battling is buggy. I tried a battle in game and it worked, but I noticed it affects the ATB_Overhaul plugin. The battler's atb bar speed gets reset to the default speed.

You're right. Because you're using common events, the Parallel Process continues even though you've changed maps. The only reason it doesn't visually show it continuing is because when you changed map, Picture:1 (or whichever number) only Showed at the very start, and the instructions thereafter are Move and Erase for a picture that doesn't exist in the new map.

The cleanest solution is to make an Event for each map and plop it in the same location (top left corner, bottom right corner, etc). Then all you have to do is make it a Parallel Process as normal, and turn it's own cancellation Switch ON at the very end of it's Picture shenanigans. That way if the player immediately exits, then when they come back, the Process will still be obligated to play. This method also keeps potential bugs localized to each map.

Really, the only advantage I can see to a Common Event is in case you want to change the fade and show timings of every single banner later on. That's not really worth the headache involved in adding a hundred conditional branches and switches to make sure everything plays properly though.

Are you using the Official RM2K3? You can just tie the transparency to a variable (starting at 100), negate or add to the variable, and use show picture command to update it constantly. Should carry over to the next map.
