Welcome to GDU! You should post some info about your game here: http://www.gdunlimited.net/games edit: I really should check the games section before making these posts...

Awesome! :D Normal members can't delete posts, so just edit it asking for it to be deleted. The third post was a bit unnecessary, but not a big deal, so I combined them all into 1.

Calculate cursor width, maybe? Also, the scripting tuts by these two might help you: http://www.gdunlimited.net/tutorials/member/17220/bob423 http://www.gdunlimited.net/tutorials/member/60/lizzie-s

Your game looks fluffy... Have you checked Window_Base, Window_Selectable, Window_Command, Window_PartyCommand, Scene_Menu, and every part of Scene_Battle? Around line 100 of Window_Selectable looks like it might have what you want. And line 40 of Window_PartyCommand too.

Welcome to GDU! We're like Canada. We're known for being super friendly, but people probably forget we exist a lot. If you have any questions at all, just post a topic. Most of the time, someone will at least try to help and they usually succeed :) You should probably check the tutorials and scripts sections and see if anything there helps you first though.

Because he's new and occasionally introduction topics get lots of extra attention. Some people get hardly any for no particular reason. Part of it might have to do with when it's posted, what is said in the topic, how people reply, etc. We've had much more popular introduction tropics before and it definitely helps that there's more to talk about in this one than just "Hi, welcome to GDU"

Welcome to GDU! Salty's right. Generally with RPG Maker, if you're using someone else's stuff, it's most likely ok to use it as long as you're not selling your game and they haven't said otherwise. I can't see why someone would use a console RPG Maker just because it's most likely extremely limited. I know next to nothing about them though.

Well I have no clue what to do so I'm bumping the topic and re-wording my problem. This is what I want: I have made 29 items that are useable in battle. Of those, 9 deal damage. The other 20 just cause status effects. Each item that deals damage, except for 1, casts a spell. The exception is "Bomb" which has fixed damage and ignores DEF. The spell casting items are literally just items that, when used, deal weak magic damage. The damage formula used should be the same as the skill formula I use, which, when used for an item, would look something like this: attack = (User's INT * 2) + (User's ATK * 3) defense = target's MDEF * (mdef_f / 100) attack2 = attack * (item's heal HP stat /100) * -1 damage = attack2 - defense ATK is called PWR in my game and is the strength of the weapon. Since the item IS the weapon, it would probably be 1 or 2 (so it would add 3 or 6) mdef_f isn't very important since it's always set to 100, but basically, it's what I use to tell if the item will use a different formula. if mdef_f == 100 new_damage_formula end before factoring in DEF, the game checks the skill's (or item's) power (or how much HP it heals) and uses it as a multiplier. The magic items all heal -120 HP, so their damage multiplier is x1.2. So, in other words: ((2*INT + 3) * 1.2) - MDEF with a variance of 15. Each has two elements: Magic, and 1 of 8 others. Fire, Thunder, Ice, Water, Earth, Air, Light, and Dark Hopefully that helps. :)

Well you did help a little bit, so thanks. I'll take a look at my scripts again and see if there's anything I can do.

You should've kept your post the same instead of changing it... Oh well... CLOSED

yup. And it's actor 10 (no, 0 is not actor 1, I checked)

...Reread the first post then. Somehow I feel like you ignored my PM entirely.

That didn't seem to work either. Did I replace the right thing? def item_effect(item, actor=nil) self.critical = @evaded = @missed = false if ((item.scope == 3 or item.scope == 4) and self.hp == 0) or ((item.scope == 5 or item.scope == 6) and self.hp >= 1) return false end effective = false effective |= item.common_event_id > 0 hit_result = (rand(100) < item.hit) @missed = true unless hit_result effective |= item.hit < 100 if hit_result == true effective |=(item.name.include?("Crystal"))? make_item_damage_value(item, actor) : make_item_damage_value(item) else @missed = true end self.damage = nil unless $game_temp.in_battle self.damage = POP_MISS if @missed return effective end #-------------------------------------------------------------------------- def perfect_item_effect(item) self.critical = @evaded = @missed = false if ((item.scope == 3 or item.scope == 4) and self.hp == 0) or ((item.scope == 5 or item.scope == 6) and self.hp >= 1) return false end effective = false effective |= item.common_event_id > 0 effective |= item.hit < 100 effective |= make_item_damage_value(item) self.damage = nil unless $game_temp.in_battle self.damage = POP_MISS if @missed return effective end #-------------------------------------------------------------------------- def make_item_damage_value(item, actor=nil) if item.name.include?("Crystal") and actor != nil recover_hp = item.recover_hp_rate puts "power" puts recover_hp defendrate = 0 defendrate += (self.pdef * item.pdef_f / 100) defendrate += (self.mdef * item.mdef_f / 100) puts "defend rate" puts defendrate damage = actor.base_int * 2 damage += 3 puts "damage" puts damage damage *= (recover_hp / 100) puts "damage * power" puts damage damage -= defendrate puts "minus defense" puts damage finaldamage = damage puts ".to_i" puts finaldamage damage = finaldamage.to_i puts damage damage *= elements_correct(item.element_set) puts damage damage /= 100 puts "elements" puts damage if item.variance > 0 and recover_hp.abs > 0 amp = [recover_hp.abs * item.variance / 100, 1].max recover_hp += rand(amp+1) + rand(amp+1) - amp end recover_hp = damage * -1 else recover_hp = maxhp * item.recover_hp_rate / 100 + item.recover_hp recover_sp = maxsp * item.recover_sp_rate / 100 + item.recover_sp if recover_hp < 0 recover_hp += self.pdef * item.pdef_f / 20 recover_hp += self.mdef * item.mdef_f / 20 recover_hp = [recover_hp, 0].min end recover_hp *= elements_correct(item.element_set) recover_hp /= 100 recover_sp *= elements_correct(item.element_set) recover_sp /= 100 if item.variance > 0 and recover_hp.abs > 0 amp = [recover_hp.abs * item.variance / 100, 1].max recover_hp += rand(amp+1) + rand(amp+1) - amp end if item.variance > 0 and recover_sp.abs > 0 amp = [recover_sp.abs * item.variance / 100, 1].max recover_sp += rand(amp+1) + rand(amp+1) - amp end recover_hp /= 2 if recover_hp < 0 and self.guarding? self.damage = -recover_hp last_hp = self.hp last_sp = self.sp self.hp += recover_hp self.sp += recover_sp effective |= self.hp != last_hp effective |= self.sp != last_sp @state_changed = false effective |= states_plus(item.plus_state_set) effective |= states_minus(item.minus_state_set) if item.parameter_type > 0 and item.parameter_points != 0 case item.parameter_type when 1 @maxhp_plus += item.parameter_points when 2 @maxsp_plus += item.parameter_points when 3 @str_plus += item.parameter_points when 4 @dex_plus += item.parameter_points when 5 @agi_plus += item.parameter_points when 6 @int_plus += item.parameter_points end effective = true end if item.recover_hp_rate == 0 and item.recover_hp == 0 self.damage = "" if item.recover_sp_rate == 0 and item.recover_sp == 0 and (item.parameter_type == 0 or item.parameter_points == 0) unless @state_changed @missed = true end end end end return effective end

I'm not surprised it's incompatible with the advanced name_input script I'm using, and I kinda need a name input system that lets the player type the name instead of using a stupid name input thing with the arrow keys like every console game before USB keyboards, Wii Remotes, and touch screens. This is the script, with the edits i've made. The error I got was: Script 'Advanced Name Input' line 81: NoMethodError occurred. undefined method `name' for nil:NilClass After testing without the advanced name input script, I saw that the same thing happens with the default Window_NameEdit, but the error is on line 22 I would look into it right now, but I gotta go. If you don't reply by the time I'm back, I'll take a look at it. Thanks :D edit: back...and I don't have a clue what to do.
