Epic Battle Defeated

This was done as a script request over at the RPGRevolution community forums. I took the special monster death sequences out of Enu’s japanese RPG Tankentai Battle System (TBS).

Enu’s tankentai battlesystem flashes the screen a couple times when the selected epic or boss monsters die, then they fade down in a moving cloud. These epic monster deaths should work fine with any other sort of custom Rpg Maker VX battle system, or even the default. Click more to see the script from the RMVX Takentai BS:

Place the number IDs of any monsters you wish to have an “epic” death in the EpicBattleMonsters = [#] section. Like so: [1,2,3,8]

# Taken from Enu's Tankentai BS as a request

module GameBaker
  EpicBattleMonsters = [4]
end

        @effect_duration = 330
        @gb_epic_collapse = true

This one is not working properly. It runs and there is not any script errors but when you put the ID in, and you test battle, it doenst work . It’s just a regular death

You might be using a different RMVX battle system script that interferes with it. Worked great when we tested. Try putting it farther down the list, right above the Rpg Maker VX scripts main, if you can. Might fix your problem!

Semi-necro post, but I found this script using google and…

It didn’t work right away, but I saw an error with the audio files and looked at the code. I noticed that when I pasted the script into RPG Maker, the quotations around the sounds were in some different ASCII notation, so once I deleted them and put in new quotation marks the script works great. Thanks.

Yay! It worked.
But no pause before the victory screen.

I also noticed that the victory screen doesn’t wait until the animation is complete… There’s got to be another piece of code somewhere that’ll fix this…

I made a little fix to make the battle wait until the enemy has died. The way it works is any battle with an enemy who is considered epic, waits for roughly the length of time it takes for them to die before showing the results. Sadly this means there will be an odd pause in battles with an epic monster and normal monsters where the normal monsters died last.

Anyway the code:
[code]class Scene_Battle < Scene_Base
#————————————————————————–
# * Determine Win/Loss Results
#————————————————————————–
def judge_win_loss
if $game_temp.in_battle
if $game_party.all_dead?
process_defeat
return true
elsif $game_troop.all_dead?
wait(300) if $game_troop.boss?
process_victory
return true
else
return false
end
else
return true
end
end
end

class Game_Troop < Game_Unit

def boss?
for enemy in @enemies
return true if GameBaker::EpicBattleMonsters.include?(enemy.enemy_id)
end
return false
end

end
[/code]
