Soulpour777 – Animated Battlers
Version: 1.0
Author: Soulpour777
Date: 11:01AM, 6 / 14 / 2014

Description

This script allows your enemy battlers to be animated during battle. The enemies would also be subjected to three different animated behaviors, either they BREATH, FLOAT, or MOVE SIDEWARDS. This is a revival of Moghunter's sweet script called Battler L effects, but made it much more appealing and compatible with the now popular RPG Maker VX Ace.

Demonstration here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOpAen8Q5Mo

Features

• Enemies can breath.
• Enemies can float.
• Enemies can move sidewards.
• <and so on>

That's a neat way to add some graphical flair to battles without requiring additional graphical resources. Thanks for sharing it SoulPour777!

Thank you very much

Looks epic! Too bad I'm still on XP :p

How hard would it be to fix it up for notetags instead of arrays? Was this for XP or VX originally?

Hello, could you review the float effect? Even in the demo, with no other scripts, motion is very strange.

Thank you very much.

That's my edited version of his script, I changed the float around and made the breathe effect a tiny bit more noticeable.

Hey Euphoria! Tanks a lot. The breath effect is perfect, but the float... It´s better than older version but the up and down motion it´s too rough... I´ve modified a little the script for the float move up and down positions for higher float effect, and the move is... UP!...DOWN!...UP!... Like a switch :p

I´ve got a idea but a don´t know how to make it... My idea is... Instead of a random number for "@float_duration" put a time operator ("@float_up_time" and "@float_down_time" in example) . So, from time "0" to time "x" coord Y increases by "x" pixels and then decrease time and coords, and start the second timer to down... I think this would make the motion more smooth.

The timers can have random maximums to go up and down...

I hope I explained clearly, thank you very much for your time and effort. And thanks for answering.

EDIT:

I´m not scripter but i love to make experiments... Right now those are the results:

Basically I´ve copied the Moveside Formula...

Line 134, added "@oy_offset = 5"

Code Select Expand


   #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
   # ● Float Effect Setup
   #--------------------------------------------------------------------------                     
   def float_effect_setup(battler)
       @oy_offset = 5
       @float_duration = rand(40)
       @float_speed = rand(3)
   end


And, at line 205... Replace "● Update Float Effect" with this one

Code Select Expand


   #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
   # ● Update Float Effect
   #--------------------------------------------------------------------------                 
   def update_float_effect
     update_ox
     update_oy   
       return if @battler == nil
       return unless @battler.float_effect
   #    @float_speed += 1
   #    return if @float_speed < 2
       @float_speed = 1
       @float_duration += 1
       case @float_duration
         when 0..40
          @oy_offset += 2
         when 41..80
          @oy_offset -= 2
         else 
          @float_duration = 0
       end
   end


Now, the up and down move is so smooth, And the speed, for me is perfect now, test yourself, and hope it helps you. No credits,  Thanks!!
