Side View Battlers (Still Characters)

Side View Battlers (Still Character)
Version: 0.5

Introduction

This isn't really my script but a script from RPG Advocate, however this is the first script I've posted. I thought I'd post this because it is a good script and requires minimum to no scripting at all. All you need is to make a battler, a side view character set one will be fine.

Features

• Easy To Use
• No scripting required

Screenshots

Currently there is 2 Screenshot.

Spoiler for:

A screen of the system.


What happens if you don't make new battlers.

Insert the script manually

Spoiler for:

If you want to insert the script manually then all you have to do is go to Game_Actor and replace

Code: [Select]

  def screen_x
    # Return after calculating x-coordinate by order of members in party
    if self.index != nil
      return self.index * 160 + 80
    else
      return 0
    end
  end


with

Code: [Select]

def screen_x
    if self.index != nil
      return self.index * 40 + 440
    else
      return 0
    end
  end


and

Code: [Select]

  def screen_y
    return 464
  end


with

Code: [Select]

def screen_y
    return self.index * 20 + 240
end


Then go to Window_BattleStatus and replace

Code: [Select]

  def update
    super
    # Slightly lower opacity level during main phase
    if $game_temp.battle_main_phase
      self.contents_opacity -= 4 if self.contents_opacity > 191
    else
      self.contents_opacity += 4 if self.contents_opacity < 255
    end
  end
end


with

Code: [Select]

def update
    super
    if $game_temp.battle_main_phase
      self.contents_opacity = 255
    end
  end
end


and your done.

You can change where your character is by editing these lines

Code: [Select]

    return self.index * 40 + 440


Code: [Select]

    return self.index * 20 + 240


Just change the values to whatever it is you like.


Instructions

Make sure to place the script above Main and below Game_Actor and Window_BattleStatus.

Make new battlers, a side view of a characterset works fine. That is unless, you want your characters to look stupid

Be sure to put your new battler in the Battlers folder.

Compatibility

It should work with any version of RMXP

• Trenzer  -  Because I posted this script and edited it so the battlers weren't in the middle of the screen
• RPG Advocate  -  For making this script

Author's Notes

You don't have to give me credit if you want but be sure to credit RPG Advocate

Modification is required if you want the characters to walk up to the monsters and attack.

For more information on this script, go here http://www.phylomortis.com/resource/script/scr005.html

That's one sweet script
But how do you move the enemies about?
Also, is there a way to separate the battlers so that they aren't all clumped together... so that the original battlers would look right?

Once you get the new enemy sprites, stick them in the battlers folder. Open up the database and click on the Enemies Tab. Change the monster graphic to your new one then click on the troops tab. Once there make a new troop or edit an existing one. You can move the monsters position by clicking and dragging them to the position you desire.

And in order to place the characters so they are facing right, it will require scripting (Obviously).
First off, you'd have to reposition your characters so they are on the other side of the screen, you can do that easily by editing these lines:

Code: [Select]

    return self.index * 40 + 440


Code: [Select]

   return self.index * 20 + 240


Just change your graphic so it is facing the other way way. However I'm a beginner scripter and I'm sorry that I can't help you much with the seperation of the battlers. This is the reason why I said to make new battlers and a character side view works good. Otherwise it looks like this

Spoiler for:

Maybe you could get someone else to edit it for you...

Okay... thanks
