Title: Zerlina is dumb and needs your help again
Post by: Zerlina on June 04, 2008, 03:47:06 PM

Ok...

I'm very very sorry...I have never used the help board this much. I guess battle system just isn't my strong point.

I'm trying to change the facesets when characters get KO'd. I have a common event (which I've attached a screenshot of). I start the trigger switch at the beginning of the game.

I tested a battle, waited for the characters to get knocked out- nothing. I've tried using "death" condition as the positive in the conditional branch. But that didn't work either.

To test if it was the common event, I made the positive condition "Hero is facing up." This time when I started the game (with the hero by default facing down), and I opened the menu, and their faces were all the knocked out  versions.

Anyone know what's wrong?



(in case you're confused "sss" is the default faces "injury" is the KOd faces.

I'm not sure if this will work better but try to set a variable equal to each characters health. And then make the common event react when the variable changes instead.
I found it a lot easier when I was working on my game(Dom actually hinted me in that direction).

Not sure if it will do any difference though.

You might need to put that event into every single battle event page in the game to make it work.  I dunno, I haven't used the default battle system in awhile.

I think you would need to have it in every page. Lots of copy paste...
it would be worth it for the end result though. good luck

Get rid of the trigger switch and make that comment event a "call event"-type (or whatever the translations call it).  Then, in each Battle Group, have an event with a precondition of turns[1x], or whatever it's called (with the turn-based conditions, one of the numbers is for a specific turn for the event to occur, and the other number is for at what intervals the event occurs after that.  With turn 0 with 1 turn repetitions after that, it happens every turn.  It's either that or 0 for both numbers. :/)  In that event, call the comment event you have there.

Bleh, I don't think that made much sense, it's mind-vomit as it is.  If it still doesn't work, say so and I'll elaborate.

make it a common event

set a Variable to the hero's hp then use fork conditions constitnial branch or whatever....
If Var:HP(01) is less than or equal to 0
Then make it change face
Ironically I've already did this for a game
but Your faceset cheange as your hp dropped
or if you were poisioned  :hi:
