Update Action Order Per Action
Version: 1.0
Author: Logan Forrests
Date: April 18, 2011

Version History


  • <Version 1.0> 18.04.2011 - Original Release

Planned Future Versions

None.

Description


Forces the turn order to be redetermined each time a battler makes an action. Thus, speed changes (such as via Haste/Slow like skills) will affect the order a battler makes their action during the action order execution process, not when the action orders are recalculated at the next turn.

Please do note that this is designed primarily for the Default Battle System as it changes the way that make_action_orders works. It will probably conflict with Custom Battle Systems. If you do make use of a CBS, then please direct yourself to the Support section of this post.

Instructions

No customisation required, so not much to instruct on.

Author's Notes


I'm not sure if one already exists, but since I needed this functionality for another script I'm working on I figured I might as well put it up here anyway. Feel free to remove it if one already exists.

Restrictions

Nothing but credit for this one. It's not a particularly clever script, it just adds a little to the default system.

Nice work LoganForrests. It's a little feature but it can really spruce up the tactical element of the DBS, which is sorely lacking by default.

It wasn't something I'd considered until I rewrote my Charm script, and then realised just how battle actions were actually processed. Sometimes, I do wonder whether VX was a step forward or a step backwards compared to 2k3 (I never liked XP).

But this little nugget helps with the Quicken/Delay states I made to instantly affect the playing field - Quicken will ensure the target goes next, whilst Delay will ensure the target goes last instead of having to wait until the next turn.

It's the little things that can really make the DBS shine I think.

Almost used a message thinking I might get banned for posting  ;D

THIS IS URGENT FOR ME AND POSSIBLY OTHERS!!!

SCRIPT: Tankentai ATB

When I open the scripts tab this line of ATB (1.1) is selected:
1359l        @at_count = @at_count + $data_states[state_id].atb_damage * 10

This is a useful script, while I did not get any errors, when I use the Tankentai Sideview 3.4e without ATB, occasionally, two actors go at a time. It isn't a super problem or anything, just thought I would let you know.

I'm back.
