The skill tree scene is lagging? Tell me to see what can I do.

Would be great if you can clarify instructions that are strange. I did my best, so I really can't tell if something is still hard to understand

The skill tree scene is lagging? Tell me to see what can I do.

It begins to lag once you have learned lots of skills. For example, I have a character who can learn 13 skills in one tree. Each skill can be upgraded 5 times. Once she's upgraded a few skills, it begins to lag and my computer starts overheating a bit.

I also have a few bugs with the 1.2 version:

1) If you enter "false" for the background picture in the customization script, the game crashes. This can probably be fixed by cutting

CODE

    @back_img.x = @skilltree_window.x
      @back_img.y = @skilltree_window.y

and pasting it inside

CODE

if ST_setup::ST_imageback != false
      tree_name = ST_setup::ST_class_assign[@actor.class_id]
      @back_img = Sprite.new
      @back_img.bitmap = Bitmap.new("Graphics/System/" + tree_name[@tree_index])
      @back_img.opacity = ST_setup::ST_imageback
      @back_img.viewport = @viewport
  end

2) If you make a skill tree, and the spot in the furthest top-left area (that is, the first "square" of the grid) is *not* occupied by a skill, but rather a nil pointer, the game crashes with a no method error (it's trying to find the "name" of a skill, when there is none). I tested this by moving skills to and from that first area. When a skill was there, the game didn't crash.

EDIT: The problem seems to be the script wanting to init the cursor index at 0. We should instead init the cursor at the first skill in the array. I'm thinking something like this would work:

CODE

    @actor.tree_skills.each_with_index do |part, i|
      if !part.nil?
        self.index = i
        break
      end
    end

Or something similar to that.

To illustrate bug #2, I have attached a picture. I hope it helps.

Otherwise it seems to be going quite well.

Ha ha, I was expecting some bugs, the more features and changes make more hard to check if everything is ok xD

Fixed them both. Replace just the Core.

Thanks for reporting.

[johnnydangerous6...]

Awesome! This version works great so far. No problems besides the lag I talked about earlier.

Feature request: Allow up to three "parent" skills. In my game, I have a guy who can learn three types of weapons. If he masters all three of them, a powerful mastery skill is unlocked.

Hopefully this shouldn't be too much of a hassle to integrate with the current system. Thanks!

[leongon]

Nope, is not hard at all. But having three parents, is kinda weird still in this age. Will be noted for a future upgrade.

[dorky106]

Is 3 Columns the max amount that can be used with this script?

I have a question.
As far as I know I am doing this right.

MF_# is a skill while MF_#_# is a arrow poiting from the skill to the next, so for example MF_1 (Fire skill points to...) MF_1_2 (arrow down) MF_2 (Flame spell)

see:

CODE

"MAGE_FROST" => ["MF_1" , nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil,
"MF_1_2", nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil,
"MF_2", nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil,
"MF2_3", nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil,
"MF_3", nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil],

but upon running this I get the following error in attachment  Capture.JPG ( 72.7K ) Number of downloads: 40


am I doing this wrong? I just want to go from MF_1 -> 2 -> 3
Also if i assign 15 points for testing why can i only spend one before its maxed:

CODE

"SkillObject" => [reqlvl, treepts, "dad", "mom", maxlvl, childreqlvl, idlvl1, idlvl2,...],

"MF_1" => [1, 0, nil, nil, 3, 3, 1], # this is the one i care most about only lets me spend 1 point before its "maxed"
"MF_2" => [5, 3, "MF_1", nil, 3, 3, 2],
"MF_3" => [10, 3, "MF_1", "MF_2", 3, 3,3],
"MF_4" => [1, 0, nil, nil, 5, 5, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18],
"MF_5" => [10, 0, "MF_4", nil, 5, 5, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23],
"WA_1" => [1, 0, nil, nil, 3, 3, 24, 25, 26],
"WA_2" => [1, 0, "WA_1", nil, 5, 0, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31],

[leongon]

In the * Creating Arrow Objects * and * Creating Skill Objects * sections you insert your objects data with the unique names you want for them. I used names like "MF_1" cuz are short and still descriptive for me about what are they doing.

You can name them like "FROSTBOLT_skill" or "FROSBOLT_arrow1", that is completly up to you.

---
For your first skill... "MF_1" => [1, 0, nil, nil, 3, 3, 1]
you are missing two skill ID level data:

"SkillObject" => [reqlvl, treepts, "dad", "mom", maxlvl, childreqlvl, idlvl1, idlvl2,...],
"MF_1" => [1, 0, nil, nil, 3, 3, 1, ?, ?]

If your maxlvl data is 3, you must enter 3 id levels. You stated that this skill has 3 levels and the script can't find the IDs for the next two levels, so is maxed.

This system uses a different skill in the database for each skill level. The reason:

For the error in your screenshot, looks like something is wrong in the arrows data. Show me your * Creating Arrow Objects * section if you can't resolve the problem.

I think I am beginning to understand. BUT: is the idlevel not the skill id?

what are the other two numbers suppose to be? 1,2,3? because skill ID 1 is Fire, Skill id 2 is Flame and Skill id 3 is Blaze.
I stuck with the default name of most of the variables in this case to fool around and see what i could create.

Any ways the code is below:

CODE

"MF_1" => [1, 0, nil, nil, 3, 3, 1, 2, 3], # Supose to be fire, but I put in 2,3 after the one (Skill id 1)
"MF_2" => [5, 3, "MF_1", nil, 3, 3, 1,2,3], #Suppose to be Flame (Skill id 2) but I put in 1,2,3 for this id level thing
"MF_3" => [10, 3, "MF_1", "MF_2", 3, 3,1,2,3], # Suppose to be Blaze (Skill Id 3) but again, 1,2,3...
"MF_4" => [1, 0, nil, nil, 5, 5, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18],
"MF_5" => [10, 0, "MF_4", nil, 5, 5, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23],
"WA_1" => [1, 0, nil, nil, 3, 3, 24, 25, 26],
"WA_2" => [1, 0, "WA_1", nil, 5, 0, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31],

Arrow objects as such below:

CODE

"MF_1_1" => ["arrow_object", "A_ver_st", "MF_1"],
"MF_1_2" => ["arrow_object", "A_ver_end", "MF_1"],
"MF_2_1" => ["arrow_object", "A_diag_l_st", "MF_2"],
"MF_2_2" => ["arrow_object", "A_diag_l_end", "MF_2"],
"MF_2_3" => ["arrow_object", "A_ver_end", "MF_3"],
"MF_2_4" => ["arrow_object", "A_diag_l_bel_cor", "MF_2"],
"MF_4_1" => ["arrow_object", "A_ver_st", "MF_4"],
"MF_4_2" => ["arrow_object", "A_ver_end", "MF_4"],
"WA_1_1" => ["arrow_object", "A_ver_st", "WA_1"],
"WA_1_2" => ["arrow_object", "A_ver_end", "WA_1"],

so with the arrows it should go:

Fire (3 points to max)
|
Flame (3 points to max)
|
Blaze (3 points to max)

[leongon]

I think I am beginning to understand. BUT: is the idlevel not the skill id?

I already explained: Each level is a new skill. If you can't get it, take a look at the skills database in the demo, you should catch it seeing that.

Now, the error you are getting is for a unexisting arrow object:

CODE

"MAGE_FROST" => ["MF_1" , nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil,
"MF_1_2", nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil,
"MF_2", nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil,
"MF2_3", nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil,
"MF_3", nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil],

There is no "MF2_3" in the arrows object section, should be "MF_2_3"

and the parent data for it is wrong:
"MF_2_3" => ["arrow_object", "A_ver_end", "MF_3"],
replace the "MF_3" with "MF_2"

I recommend you to redo every arrow and skill object, with names you can track better.

Beside of that missing id levels and miswritten names, I don't see any more data errors. Repair those and you'll get it working.

Hello. I really want to use this script. It is the only skill tree I could find that allows skills to level up.

But after I changed the settings and made my own skills, I got an error:

Script 'Leongon SkillTree Core' line 237: ArgumentError occured.

comparison of Fixnum with nil failed

Nothing in the core script has been changed and I copied it straight from your demo. Here's the line:

CODE

return true if actual_lvl >= skill_object_name[5]

EDIT: I fixed it, nevermind ^^

If you want to compare there are some others scripts for skill learning/upgrading. One is named something like "skill upgrade", and I remember seeing one that can use only one skill with a defined curve on damage and mp consumed, and one that uses a grid where your char walks spending points to reach the skills. I also leaved a link to other script similar to mine(tree-thing), in the first page.

Search here and rpgmakervx.net for them.

[KrazEE]

Im trying to call the script like this but its comming up with this error .

What am i doing wrong?

I have also tried calling it with ST_command::show(1,"Dusky", true)

Dusky being the name of my character.

You get that kind of error when you don't have the ST_command module at all. Maybe a copy-pasting fail, or you edited my script changing the module name, or you erased some parts by mistake, or something alike.

Replace the Core script with a new fresh and hot one from the first post, that should fix your problem. Nice thing having splitted the Setup from the Core, don't? haha

[SoloHero]

Hey, great script. I'm using a resolution change script to resize the game window 640* 480, I was wondering since there'll be extra room, would I be able to make more than 3 trees by widening the windows?

[leongon]

If you ask for more slots per row... I made the cursor to be "smart", so, if you change the width of the skill tree window, the icons will fit and everything will work fine, just make sure to widen it with a multiple of 24 to prevent gaps between objects. You only need to change the @column_max = 7 in Window_SkillTree_Main class, after widening the window.

However, I made the positioning absolute, not relative, so you'll need to re-adjust all other data windows.


If you are asking for each actor to have more than 3 skill trees... the system will remain the same whatever size the windows has.

[DuosLivara]

Umm I have a Question. Is this Compatible with Yanfly's Melody system or no? just curious if you knew ahead of time so i can save myself some headache if i get a tone of errors.. >< also if it is compatible where would i put it?
