The RPG Maker Resource Kit

Does anyone knows how to make a script that when the character engage in battle, the characters are bigger?

This isn't the place to make a request or ask for a script.

And it depends on the battle script you're using. The default battle system doesn't even show your characters, so it doesn't even matter. Most alternate battle systems use their own battle sprites, so it's just a matter of making bigger sprites for battlers.

Oh! Sorry! ^_^ i am a newbie here so i don't know much about this site ^_^

So, is there any battle scripts like that?

Where should i post a request?

That depends on what kind of battle system you want. There are many varieties of ABS, Turn-Based, there's one or two Tactics style, and maybe a real-time one.

A good place to look would be here, the script index
http://rmrk.net/index.php/topic,31844.0.html

Other sites usually have script indexes too. If you can't find it here, the other two sites I use are RPGmVX.net
www.rpgmakervx.net/index.php?showtopic=4241
or RPG RPG Revolution
http://www.rpgrevolution.com/
Maybe Creation Asylum too
http://www.creationasylum.net/forum/index.php?s=b2cec6810dc260656789f5c8ebdbd122&showforum=153

Google is a great place to look for script if none of those sites serve your needs

Thanks a lot!

Here's something I threw together a while ago.

  if @battler.is_a?(Game_Actor)
  #case code shrinks enemies and actors as they get closer to top of screen
      case @battler.index
      when 0
        self.zoom_x = 0.90
        self.zoom_y = 0.90
      when 1
        self.zoom_x = 0.95
        self.zoom_y = 0.95
      when 2
        self.zoom_x = 0.98
        self.zoom_y = 0.98
      when 3
        self.zoom_x = 1
        self.zoom_y = 1
      when 4
        self.zoom_x = 0.90
        self.zoom_y = 0.90
      when 5
        self.zoom_x = 0.95
        self.zoom_y = 0.95
      when 6
        self.zoom_x = 0.98
        self.zoom_y = 0.98
      when 7
        self.zoom_x = 1
        self.zoom_y = 1
        end
      #self.mirror = true
    end
  #


inside Sprite Battler > Update

here's a simplified version  to make your sprites big:


  if @battler.is_a?(Game_Actor)
        self.zoom_x = 1.20
        self.zoom_y = 1.20
    end


You can change 1.2 to whatever you like.

where will i put this script? is it above main?

inside sprite_battler

inside update

above #Blink around line 74

so instead of stuff that looks like this:

   if @battler.is_a?(Game_Actor) and @battler_visible
      # Bring opacity level down a bit when not in main phase
      if $game_temp.battle_main_phase
        self.opacity += 3 if self.opacity < 255
      else
        self.opacity -= 3 if self.opacity > 207
      end
    end
    # Blink
    if @battler.blink
      blink_on
    else
      blink_off
    end
    # If invisible



have it look like this:

   if @battler.is_a?(Game_Actor) and @battler_visible
      # Bring opacity level down a bit when not in main phase
      if $game_temp.battle_main_phase
        self.opacity += 3 if self.opacity < 255
      else
        self.opacity -= 3 if self.opacity > 207
      end
    end
      if @battler.is_a?(Game_Actor)
        self.zoom_x = 1.20
        self.zoom_y = 1.20
    end
    # Blink
    if @battler.blink
      blink_on
    else
      blink_off
    end
    # If invisible


You are only adding four lines of code, so it's a snippet.  ;)

there is no #Blink in line 74..

is this VX? cause it doesn't look familiar.
request someone like Coz translate this


    if @battler.is_a?(Game_Actor)
        self.zoom_x = 1.20
        self.zoom_y = 1.20
    end


yup! it is!

ahh, that explains it. You must always state which version you are using, because the scripts are not always compatible. I don't even have a copy of VX, but cozziekuns does. You should send them a pm with my four lines and see if they will work in your VX program.

ah ok.. anyway, tnx..
