Thanks for all your help, but I still can't get it to work, sorry. What you said made the battlers go back to the right, and it was perfect, but now the damage popup doesn't pop up. Attacks, evades, misses, etc., nothing happens but the battle animation. I'm about to just scrap Claihm's battle system and try another if I can't get it to work. I chose his since it was the easiest to use.

Did you follow this order???

The order for the scripts should be as follows:
* Claihm's Motion Control
* Claihm's Motion Exe
* Damage Pops <------
* Claihm's Formations

Claihm's formation script has to be the very LAST in the list, not the first as it's normally shown. Damage Pops appears just above it, but below the Motion scripts.

I tried it and it worked.

Yeah I did that and it still doesn't work. All on separate pages, I have it in the order you listed. Was there anything else I was supposed to copy over from your Animbat Demo?

[DerVVulfman]

No. I started off with a clean copy of Claihm's battlesystem and pasted Damage Pops 3.1 in there, rearranging the order as I showed ya.

That's all.

Why don't you just use DerVVulfman's animated battlers? You get the same sideview battle with a lot more control AND it works well with damage pops.

If you need RMVX style sprites in a battle sheet, I'll be posting those to the site tonight, so you should be able to grab them from the resources section there... hopefully.

[DerVVulfman]

Just so this is no longer a 'CLAIHM'S MOVEMENT' thread, and the thread for Damage Pops, I'm PMing ya a demo. As I'm rearranging and cleaning out my webspace, this demo will not last longer than a week.

Again... all I did was rearrange to that order.

hi i had the same problem too... my battlers are at the center of the screen. I managed to fix it though while retaining the "pop-up" damage.

what I did was remove this part of the script:

end
end

i'm using Claimh's Side View BS ... i don't know if it will work for other types of CBS's

[DerVVulfman]

Yeah... that codes the placement of the actors, like the 'Formations' script does. Hence, the reason that all you have to do is rearrange them like so:

The order for the scripts should be as follows:
* Claihm's Motion Control
* Claihm's Motion Exe
* Damage Pops <------
* Claihm's Formations

Removal/edit isn't required... I did this and can say that reordering works.

[Naridar]

Okay, I got an error. I use no sideview battle scripts, only alternative battle backgrounds. t gives me an error after the entering battle animation, saying that there's an error at line 317, saying "nil can't be coerced into fixnum". Any suggestions? I downloaded this script about 15 minutes ago.

[Omegas7]

I get an error:

Script "Pop Up Battle Damage (I gave it that name)" line 317: Type error ocurred.
nil can't be coerced into fixnum.

What's wrong?


EDIT:

I tried this script in a new project and it worked.

So, maybe the problem is because I added other battle scripts like battle backs... Battler faces... Spin battle menu...

What could the problem be?

You using a 'saved game'? If you try loading a saved game after installing a new system can deliver some nice crashes. Try starting a fresh game.
