Attribute System, Version 3.2.1.1 (24th August) Options

[tomatogal]

Hello!

First, just wanted to say that I love the script. It was just what I had been looking for!

But, I have one quick question. Is it possible to add or remove certain attributes during in the course of the game? For example, if one character is taught how to use another type of magic, would I be able to add another attribute, or would that attribute (of the new magic) have to be there from the start of the game?

Please let me know if that didn't make sense. >_< I'll do my best to clarify.

Thanks in advance. ^^

To add a new attribute, you can use:

CODE

$game_actors[actor_id].start_attributes(attribute id)

The remove feature is no included yet.

link to version 1.3 is broken.

I didn't know that Rapidhsare had a limited number of downloads.
Reuploaded the demo with zshare.

[Garlyle]

Hmm. Hmm... Hmm! Yes! +_+ This is -almost- what I was looking for. ...Almost. T_T;

But I might be able to use this as the basis for coding my own system along these lines; so thank you very much.

$game_actor[actor_id].start_attributes(attribute id)

The remove feature is no included yet.

So, I tried this out today, copy-pasted this into the editor and changed the numbers, as you can see in the screen shot.

But, when I actually tried it out, I got this error:

[Show/Hide] Error

No Method Error occured while running script.

Undefined method '[]' for nil:NilClass

I attached a seperate screen shot with the message, as well. Did I put in the script incorrectly, or is there something else that I forgot to do in order to make it work?

Thanks again. ^^

Distracted old me:
It's $game_actors instead of $game_actor

Just tried it out and it worked like a charm.

Thank you so much for all of your help!

[Naridar]

Can you add an attribute to a character with a script call (e.g the main character learns darkness skills after a certain story event)? Also, can you make the character learn a skill when he/she reaches a certain level of an attribute?

[scottso06]

How much does the element boster increase damage of that element by? Also, can this affect healing spells as well? I looked but I couldn't figure this out.

Thanks!

[332211]

Each level of an attribute increases damage by 10%. This also applies to healing.

Note: If a skills has to elements to be 'boosted' it will be boosted twice.
Example: Meteor (Fire + Earth)
Fire Mastery - level 4
Earth Mastery - level 7
skill damage = damage * 140 % * 170 %

This is quite an enjoyable script you have. It makes for a good talent tree system. Would it be possible of adding in a feature to allow these skills to be applied to class id instead of actor id?

Two problems and an error that I found are:
1) This script creates alot of lag on some computers. On my P4 3.0 with 1gig ram, the FPS drops 89% from 60 to 6-7 fps, but only when actors have stuff to be drawn on the screen, like actor 1 & 2 on your demo.

2) The levels are behind by one in point cost and costing too many points I.E. going from 0 to 1 is free, 1 to 2 only costs 1 point, but lv 2 to 3 costs 4 points while 3 to 4 costed 9 points, etc. Ah, i found the problem to be line 270 in Attr_scene. I changed that line to read the following and now it's working fine.

CODE

@actor.attr_points -= (1 + ((@actor.attr_levels[attribute_index] ** 2 + @actor.attr_levels[attribute_index])/2))

E1) Script 'Attr_Scene' line 251: TypeError occurred. No implicit conversion from nil to interger. This happened while trying to train skills on those that don't have any, like actors 3 & 4.

In the first script, in lines 84/85 replace actor_id with @class_id

CODE

    if !Actor_attributes[@class_id].nil?
      for attr_i in Actor_attributes[@class_id]
        start_attributes(attr_i)
      end
    end

1)Yeah, I've noticed the lag too... I'll let you know if I happen to solve it.

2)I've changed the points formula for the display window and forgot to do the same for the method which removes the points.

E1) You need to 'teach' them the attributes with this:

CODE

$game_actors[actor_id].start_attributes(attribute id)

I don't really know what're you doing, but my guess is that you want them to have new attributtes mid-game

Thanks, works like a charm. For E1, I was just pointing out that if an actor has no attribute to train in, that the script still allows the player to try and level one up, giving an error, instead of just having nothing happen.

Edit - When I make new attributes, either in a fresh version or the one I've been playing with, they lose their order and keep chaging placement the more I add, so like instead of Divine Magic being attribute #2, with what I have below, it's coming out as #4, while Flame Mastery becomes attribute #5. Am I adding them in wrong or do I just need to go through each one by one after I complete my list to find their real placement?

[dark_prince_razo...]

I've noticed that if I put a new attributed Below my last one, it becomes place 0 in the array. Thus I've been putting my new attributes first and it isn't changing the ones I already had in the script.

[Garge]

Well I'm glad that error got fixed. But now when I try using this:

CODE

# Case you're having trouble with the Attributes Indexes
# instead pf this line
ATTRIBUTE_names = ATTRIBUTES.keys
# write the attributes names yourself, like this.
#~ ATTRIBUTE_names = ["Swordmanship","Flame Mastery"]

and change it to like the example you give, I get this:
Script 'Attribute System' line 103: NoMethodError occurred
undefined method '[]' for nil:NilClass.

Edit: Some suggestions for this script would be to show a pop up window showing when a new skill is learned and having the ability to define the max level of individual attributes. Thank you for your time.

Assuming you're trying my demo: That's probably happening out of a spelling error... (made by me :[ It's "Swordsmanship" instead of "Swordmanship")

Max level for each... it's doable, but I'm lazy. If you're lucky, it'll be in the next version.

As for the Skill Pop up Window, here it his (I had already done this for myself )
Beware: when you add a character to the party(1st time), if you initialize it, it'll show its skills twice.

Good stuff. I like the pop up skill window, even if it works on all skills learnt, no matter the scene. Keep up the good work! Hope you can get to the root of the lag issue.

Okay I got it to add some.

But now I'm testing out a sideview battle system but it's giving me an attribute error when the enemy tries to use a Skill.
it says
"Script 'Attribute System' line 190: NoMethodError occured.
undefined method 'attributes' for #<Game_Enemy:0x194fb78"

and remember that 190 is essentially the
if !user.attributes.nil?
line, I just have my extra attributes making more lines.

Is there no enemy attribute method? That's what it sounds like

My bad...
try and replace that line with this:

CODE

    if user.is_a?(Game_Actor) and !user.attributes.nil?

Well i did that but when i try again i get this message.  Error1.jpg ( 14.63K ) Number of downloads: 31

Me = Newbie and i really need help
