[Solved]Battle Not Working

[Jambo6c 0]

Hey Everyone!

 

I downloaded & registered RPG Maker XP and I've since started working on my first game. Everything was going great until my first ambush-style battle. The battle starts and everything as normal, but once it has started, there is no damage done at all. Everytime the actor attacks he gets a 0, and everytime the enemy attacks he gets a 'miss'.

 

Here are all the stats:

 

Actor - Seth

Class: Fighter

Level: 1

HP: 700

SP: 392

STR: 100

DEX: 100

AGI: 100

INT: 100

(No specific element or state efficiency)

 

Equipment - Lumberjack Sword

ATK: 100

(No specific element or state change)

 

Equipment - Lumberjack Shield

PDEF: 20

(No specific element or state defence)

 

Enemy - Wood Wolf

HP: 300

SP: 150

STR: 20

DEX: 1

AGI: 1

INT: 1

ATK: 50

PDEF: 0

MDEF: 0

EVA: 0

(No specific element or state efficiency)

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

Thanks!

Don't see how that is but you could try lowering all the stats on the enemy to 0 except the HP.

I tried that, but STR and ATK wouldn't affect the damage Seth does to it, and the others all have to be at least 1

i started a new project with all the same stats and weapons and i did a critical 1000 every time.

What battle system are you using?

Errrrrrr ... not quite sure ... the regular one? lol - sorry not so experienced with the various systems etc.

 

If it helps the battle was called up by an 'Event Touch' event as follows:

 

@>Text: Wood Wolf: Hoooooowl
@>Set Move Route:[Wood Wolf Ambush]
 :						: $>Move Down
 :						: $>Move Down
 :						: $>Move Down
 :						: $>Move Down
@>Wait for Move's Completion
@>Battle Processing: Wood Wolf
@Control Switches: [0010: Ambush] = OFF
@>

 

I never set any special battle system so I'm guessing the one that is set at startup. How do you change battle systems btw? Cause then I can probably tell you what it's set to now.

 

EDIT - Oh yeah and I just tried the battle using the skill Cross Cut, and that did damage. This makes me think it's something to do with Seth's STR or ATK or something since skills seem to work. Thing is I don't see what!

 

EDIT 2 - Also tried changing the enemy and the same thing happened - except that due to the ghost's higher stats cross cut did 0 and the ghost did 322 to Seth

I see your using the default battle system so there's no problems from there. It may be your character.

Try increasing his STR little at a time till he does damage.

Ok, I've solved it. What it was is as follows:

 

I had a common event running called 'Seth/Aries'. Long story short this event replaces the main character Seth with his counterpart Aries. Trouble is when I'd defined the 'add party member' event in each case, I'd left the 'initialize' box ticked. So the weapons Seth had were removed. Hence his ATK was always at 0 entering the battle, thereby doing no damage.

 

Sorry to have wasted your time polraudio, but thankyou so much for your time!!!

No problem. Don't worry is what I'm here for. I love helping people.
