Blue Mage

[romejin]

is there a way to show a window during battle to let you know you learned
that skill.

 

[Fomar0153]

Self.damage and Scene_Battle::help_window are in use when the actor learns the skill so not without some cunning idea.

 

[Master_Elric]

problem: if the enemy uses a skill that isn't defined as blue magic, i get an error:

Script 'Blue_Magic' line 23: NoMethodError occurred
undefined method 'include?' for nil:NilClass

I'm using the one for defending to learn the skill.

 

[Fomar0153]

My guess is that you put the script in and loaded a previous save, this script isn't compatible with previous saves.

Hi, XD u can give me an explanation about how to show an message window tath indicate you tath learn the skil?


(I don't speak very good english, i speak better spanish XD)

 

[Fomar0153]

You can try this if you want:

class Game_Actor < Game_Battler
  
  def skill_effect(user, skill)
    super(user, skill)
    if $game_party.icd_blue_mages.include?(self.id)
      unless $game_party.icd_blue_mages_all_skills == true
        if $game_party.icd_blue_mages_skills.include?(skill.id)
          self.learn_skill(skill.id)
          self.damage = self.damage.to_s + ' + Learned Skill'
        end
      else
        self.learn_skill(skill.id)
        self.damage = self.damage.to_s + ' + Learned Skill'
      end
    end
  end
  
end

 

[Silencher]

where would you put that last code, to show which skill you learned?

 

[Fomar0153]

Use this as the script:

#==============================================================================
# Individual Character Development - Blue Mage by Fomar0153
#==============================================================================
class Game_Party

  attr_accessor :icd_blue_mages
  attr_accessor :icd_blue_mages_all_skills
  attr_accessor :icd_blue_mages_skills
  
  alias fomar_icd_blue_mage_initialize initialize
  def initialize
    fomar_icd_blue_mage_initialize
    @icd_blue_mages = []
    @icd_blue_mages_all_skills = false
    @icd_blue_mages_skills = []
  end
end
class Game_Actor < Game_Battler
  
  def skill_effect(user, skill)
    super(user, skill)
    if $game_party.icd_blue_mages.include?(self.id)
      unless $game_party.icd_blue_mages_all_skills == true
        if $game_party.icd_blue_mages_skills.include?(skill.id)
          self.learn_skill(skill.id)
          self.damage = self.damage.to_s + ' + Learned Skill'
        end
      else
        self.learn_skill(skill.id)
        self.damage = self.damage.to_s + ' + Learned Skill'
      end
    end
  end
  
end

 

[Silencher]

Ah, very cool. Thanks Fomar...

EDIT:

Hey.. I was thinking about this script, what about skills that would never touch the actor themselves? As far as healing skills and defensive skills (Pearl Wind(healing spell) and Mighty Guard(various buffs/protections) come to mind) Is there a way to make it so that the blue mage can also learn those skills another way, like viewing them? Because the way it is set up now you could only have a blue mage with offensive skills, right? =\

 

[Fomar0153]

In the traditional days of RPGs confusion helped you learn those skills but now confusion makes enemies attack their allies, I may have a solution though, i'll probably do it in a bit.

 

[Silencher]

cool thanks.

Maybe you could do something like if the enemy casts it, the blue mage has a chance to learn it, rather than make it automatic? something like

if enemy casts blue_mage_skill then... random 1~100
if random equal to or less than (percentage) then skill is learned

or something like that?

 

[Fomar0153]

No I was thinking of creating a script which makes confusion also have enemies use their skills.

 

[Silencher]

oh that works too

Just put the state you want to use for confuse and then they can use their skills when confused but they will help you still, e.g. Archangels will use Greater Heal on your team.

 

[Silencher]

should I put this on a separate script or include it in your blue mage script?

 

[Fomar0153]

Put it anywhere below Scene_Battle

 

[Silencher]

Cool, thanks a lot Fomar. I'll try this out!

EDIT: Doesn't work.. I even tried this in a fresh project with no other scripts to interfere, gives me the same message:

Script 'BlueMagePatch' line 144: SyntaxError occurred.

 

[Rune]

Is there a way to show a message whenever someone learns a Blue Magic Skill?
i.e. Bob learned Bad Breath

 

[Fomar0153]

I see you neglected to read page 3.

Use this as the script:

#==============================================================================
# Individual Character Development - Blue Mage by Fomar0153
#==============================================================================
class Game_Party

  attr_accessor :icd_blue_mages
  attr_accessor :icd_blue_mages_all_skills
  attr_accessor :icd_blue_mages_skills
  
  alias fomar_icd_blue_mage_initialize initialize
  def initialize
    fomar_icd_blue_mage_initialize
    @icd_blue_mages = []
    @icd_blue_mages_all_skills = false
    @icd_blue_mages_skills = []
  end
end
class Game_Actor < Game_Battler
  
  def skill_effect(user, skill)
    super(user, skill)
    if $game_party.icd_blue_mages.include?(self.id)
      unless $game_party.icd_blue_mages_all_skills == true
        if $game_party.icd_blue_mages_skills.include?(skill.id)
          self.learn_skill(skill.id)
          self.damage = self.damage.to_s + ' + Learned Skill'
        end
      else
        self.learn_skill(skill.id)
        self.damage = self.damage.to_s + ' + Learned Skill'
      end
    end
  end
  
end

You can try that if you want.

@ Silencher which line is it (sorry for the delay edits don't show up as a new post)

 

[Rune]

That just says 'Person Learned Skill'
How do I get it so it displays the name of the skill they learned instead of just 'Skill'?
