I'm trying to set the preemptive or surprise attack status based on the state of a switch. I'm using chasing/fleeing events for my monsters instead of random encounters. I'm using default scripts/battle system except for the variable fix script and Yanfly's event chase script.
I have the event set up so that when it touches the player, it looks at the direction both the event and the player are looking. If they are looking the same way, and the event is behind the player (in effect the event is touching the back of the player), it turns on Switch 0100: Enemy attacks first. If they are looking the same way, and the event is in front of the player (in effect the player is touching the back of the event), it turns on Switch 0099: Player attacks first
In my Scene_map script I have the following for determining Preemptive/Surprise instead of the random number default:
The switches turn on properly, but I don't get the appropriate Preemptive or Surprise attack in the battle processing. As I have no real experience with Ruby, I'm sure I'm missing something super simple. What am I missing?
Thanks!
