Place this script above Main and below other custom scripts. Please see the editable region beginning at line 35 for configuration options.

To change the text shown when a critical hit is landed, or the target is missed or the target evades, you will need to go up to the Vocab module (the very first script in the editor) and change the values of the following constants:

CriticalToActor
CriticalToEnemy
ActorNoHit
ActorEvasion
EnemyNoHit
EnemyEvasion

  #  DP_PLUS_X and DP_PLUS_Y control the position of the damage pop sprites,

Thanks

joy, for the initial request
Euphony, whose request inspired me to finish this script
the chromeninja, for reporting a bug in 1.0

Please post in this topic at rmrk.net for support.

Known Compatibility Issues

It likely will not work with exotic CBSes. It also won't have any effect with sprites not subclasses of Sprite_Battler

Hey, is there anyway that this code can be applied to the Character sets in the overworld. I'm making an RPG style action game and i want the numbers to pop up on the character sets not in battle mode.

The way I wrote it, not really. It would be easy to make a script that could, though.

Do you know of any?

I tried pasting this directly, pasting it from wordpad and notepad and none worked :P is there a download for it?

You can get it from here: http://pastebin.com/RM27SGN9

Oh btw! I had my comp set to Japanese locale to play the 3D script and changing it back to American let me paste scripts normally, because after I changed the locale it pasted all the scripts wrong. Just an interesting tidbit xD

Hey Modern Algebra, this is a very simple yet cool way of aesthetically improving one's overall gaming project. I would like to suggest color-coding the damage pop-ups depending on damage. For example, color white should be attributed to damages ranging from 0 - 300, yellow from 301 - 1500, orange from 1501 - 4500 and red from 4501 - 9999+. Just a suggestion! Very cool script though!

Is there a version of this for ace or should I post a script request? :D
