Author Topic: [VX] Problem with Tankentai/Force Action maybe? (Read 1404 times)

#1 • Dec 5, 2011

Hello, I'm attempting to make a skill that increases the amount of attacks based on agility, I have it mapped out and working properly.. but when it kills an enemy, it crashes the game here:

Script 'Sideview 2 (3.4d)' line 767: NoMethodError occured.

undefined method 'actor?' for nil:NilClass

The problem that I seem to be having possibly has to deal with the Mithran's Force Action script:

Code: [Select]

# Advanced forced action
# by Mithran
# Use an Advanced > Script event command to trigger

# 
#######FORMAT
#######	   force_action(-1, 1, 1, 237, -1)

#format is:
# force_action(A, B, C, D, E)
# replace A with the group you want to pick the actor or enemy out of 
#  -1 = target actors by index
#   0 = target enemies by troop index
#   1 = target actors by party index

# replace B with the index of the actor or enemy you want to pick
# for troop and party, the index number starts at zero
# (eg., default party is 0 Ralph, 1 Ulrika, 2 Bennett, 3 Ylva)
# actor index starts at 1
# (eg., default party is 1 Ralph, 2 Ulrika, 3 Bennett, 4 Ylva)

# Replace C with the kind of action you want to force
# 0 = basic
# 1 = skill
# 2 = item  *
# *ignored on enemies  
# *Item is still consumed, but it is not checked before using.  May change this later.

# Replace D with the id of the action you want to perform
# if C is basic (0)
#  0 - attack
#  1 - guard
#  2 - escape*
#  3 - wait
# *escape is ignored on actors
# if C is skill or item
#  the id of the item or skill you are selecting to force

# Replace E with the index of the target you want to force to
# -2 = select the last target*
# -1 = choose a random target
#  0 or above = pick the selected group index
# *if the previous action had no target, this forced action will be ignored

# Example: 
# force_action(-1, 1, 1, 2, -2)
# forces Ralph (if he is in the party) to use double attack on the last enemy he
# targeted 


module Mithran
  module ForceAction
	module_function
	def force_action(group, index_id, kind, basic_id, target_id, scope_change = false)
	  battler = nil
	  if group == -1
		battler = $game_actors[index_id]
		return if !$game_party.members.include?(battler)
	  elsif group == 0
		battler = $game_troop[index_id]
	  else
		battler = $game_party[index_id]
	  end
	  return if battler.nil?
	  return if !battler.exist?
	  case kind
	  when 1
		skill = $data_skills[basic_id]
		return if skill.nil?
		battler.action.set_skill(basic_id)
	  when 2
		item = $data_items[basic_id]
		return if item.nil?
		return if !battler.actor?
		battler.action.set_item(basic_id)
	  else
		case basic_id
		when 0  # Attack
		  battler.action.set_attack
		when 1  # Guard
		  battler.action.set_guard
		when 2  # Escape
		  battler.action.kind = 0
		  if battler.actor?
			battler.action.basic = 3
		  else
			battler.action.basic = 2
		  end
		else  # Wait
		  battler.action.kind = 0
		  battler.action.basic = 3
		end
	  end
	  case target_id
	  when -2
		battler.action.decide_last_target
	  when -1
		battler.action.decide_random_target
	  when 0..99
		battler.action.target_index = target_id
	  end
	  battler.action.forcing = true
	  $game_troop.forcing_battler = battler
	end
  end
end

class Game_Interpreter
  include Mithran::ForceAction
end

I can't exactly remove this script either because it allows the skill to work the way I have it set up..
The way I have it set up is a Common Event determines the agility of an actor, and then based on that variable it links to a new skill (there are eight in all) with a new sequence (also eight), the sequence determins how many times the actor hits. And are set up like this:

Spoiler for:

To call the variable I changed game Interpretter to allow a fix to the way the game processes
Control Variable:[0071:Agility] = [Actor]'s Agility
It was glitched before and the variable remained zero. I will post the script if you need it.

Other than that it's held together with 8 skills, and a common event, here are screen shots:

Lacerate, this is called from the actors skills and battles and links to this common event:

And the common event forces an action using mithras script to use a skill like this based on agility:

I don't know where I'm going wrong and I've ben ripping my hair out for hours, also believe I posted in the wrong section of the forum ( sorry) I believe the problem lies in Mithrans script, I think it needs to be editted perhaps... not sure what it is, and Ive come to a dead end.. Please help me if you can.. Thanks for reading..
