Where are the damage display coordinates found? Like if my actor takes 233 damage and the white text "233" pops up over my actor picture or whatever, where in the script editor do I find those x and y values so I can change them?
I've been looking all day but no luck. I thought it might be damage_pop but that doesn't seem to be the case. I have no idea where the damage display sprite is coming from.
It's hidden in the Sprite class of the RPG module. You can find this in the software Help file. I searched for 'damage' and it comes up with 4 possible results. You want RPG::Sprite
module RPG
class Sprite < ::Sprite
def damage(value, critical)
dispose_damage
if value.is_a?(Numeric)
damage_string = value.abs.to_s
else
damage_string = value.to_s
end
bitmap = Bitmap.new(160, 48)
bitmap.font.name = "Arial Black"
bitmap.font.size = 32
bitmap.font.color.set(0, 0, 0)
bitmap.draw_text(-1, 12-1, 160, 36, damage_string, 1)
bitmap.draw_text(+1, 12-1, 160, 36, damage_string, 1)
bitmap.draw_text(-1, 12+1, 160, 36, damage_string, 1)
bitmap.draw_text(+1, 12+1, 160, 36, damage_string, 1)
if value.is_a?(Numeric) and value < 0
bitmap.font.color.set(176, 255, 144)
else
bitmap.font.color.set(255, 255, 255)
end
bitmap.draw_text(0, 12, 160, 36, damage_string, 1)
if critical
bitmap.font.size = 20
bitmap.font.color.set(0, 0, 0)
bitmap.draw_text(-1, -1, 160, 20, "CRITICAL", 1)
bitmap.draw_text(+1, -1, 160, 20, "CRITICAL", 1)
bitmap.draw_text(-1, +1, 160, 20, "CRITICAL", 1)
bitmap.draw_text(+1, +1, 160, 20, "CRITICAL", 1)
bitmap.font.color.set(255, 255, 255)
bitmap.draw_text(0, 0, 160, 20, "CRITICAL", 1)
end
@_damage_sprite = ::Sprite.new(self.viewport)
@_damage_sprite.bitmap = bitmap
@_damage_sprite.ox = 80
@_damage_sprite.oy = 20
@_damage_sprite.x = self.x
@_damage_sprite.y = self.y - self.oy / 2
@_damage_sprite.z = 3000

end
end
end
I found that stuff about 30 minutes ago but couldn't make use of it - actually I just tried finding "damage_string" and came up empty and went back to scouring the script editor.
I only need to edit the coordinates of my actor damage, not my enemy damage (not yet anyway).
edit:
maybe this stuff
@_damage_sprite.x = self.x
@_damage_sprite.y = self.y - self.oy / 2
will work?
I'm not sure where to put it but I'll give it a go.
edit edit:
I tested it with
@_damage_sprite.x = self.x -200
inside game_battler_3 but it said game_enemy didn't know what "x" was and crashed.
It's a hidden class that's inherited from RPG::Sprite.
From help file:
RPG::Sprite
damage(value, critical)
Displays the amount of damage or the word "Miss!"in a pop-up in front of the sprite.
If value is a positive number, the amount of normal damage will be displayed in white. If it is a negative number, the amount of recovery will be displayed in green with no negative sign. If value is text, it will be displayed in white, as is.
If critical is set to TRUE, the word "CRITICAL" will be displayed above the damage amount.
The damage sprite is displayed at a Z-coordinate of 3000.
You can modify it so long as you abide with RPG::Sprite (also found from the help file):

Edit: Ninja'd :-[
But yes, it is the x and y of @_damage_sprite that needs changing.
I understand if I use something like
if @active_battler.is_a?(Game_Actor)
@_damage_sprite.x = self.x -200
end
It should work, except it doesn't seem to want do so, and I'm probably putting it in the wrong place to begin with.
Right under:
@battler.damage_pop = false
if @battler.is_a?(Game_Actor)
@_damage_sprite.x = self.x - 54
@_damage_sprite.y = self.y - 180
end
Got in there, and it works like a charm!
