Title: Goddamn all my problems!!
Post by: Linkforce on March 12, 2010, 02:56:32 AM

Grrrrrr well I have another issue with my game.  -_-'

I have a skill that has been working for the past few months...and now it is deciding to not work anymore.  Go fig.  Note that I didn't touch that skill at all!  the most I did was open up the battle animation in a program to copy and paste a part of it into another animation.  Can anybody think of a reason why it's not working all of a sudden?  I already tried testing it in a different project, and I reset my computer.  Help mee!!!! :(

-What does the skill do?

-Does it have any code/script? If so, what is it?

-Does a script in your game accesses the skill? If so, how?

Not to sound mean, but you're being awfully vague with your problem..

Does it have a weapon type attribute and the user isn't holding a weapon with that attribute class?

This used to happen to me when I was working on my first game ever Legondo Rising. I beat it by copying a skill from another game (Warped for example) and then re-named it and set it to do what the skill I couldn't get work was supposed to do. This worked half the time.

I know how you feel. Sometimes I wish I had to guts to just make a standard
battle system RPG with nothing exciting in it, thus preventing constant errors
and bugs.

I found the problem!!!  The skill doesn't work when I select an attribute to coincide with the skill.  For example, the Skill is called "Throw".  The character throws his weapon for damage and I've "checked" an attribute called "sword" in the skill menu.  When I de-select it, the skill works just fine.  But when it's selected the skill is greyed out and I can't even select it.  In battle of course.  So is the problem in my attribute menu?  Because this skill has always worked when the "sword" attribute was selected, and now all of a sudden it isn't.  I hope this is enough information.  Thank you for all your help thus far!

As I said.

If the attribute is of the "Weapon" type and not the "Magic" type then the skill can only be used when the hero have a weapon with that attribute equipped.
Chanses are that you either have no weapon equipped or that you missed the check the right attribute of the weapon.
