+ [ Battle Retry ] +, * Retry the battle after Game Over~ Options

Battle Retry
Version 1.0
by Woratana
Release Date: 05/03/2009


Introduction
I saw this kind of script in Gamebaker before.
Now that site is temporarily close, so think it would be a good practice to write it myself.

What this script basically does is after player lose the battle and go to Gameover screen,
there will be a choice for player to choose whether to retry the battle again, or go to title screen.

This script can be enable/disable in game.
This way you can make player not be able to retry in specific battle.

You can also choose to record the party's HP/MP/state before battle.
Therefore, when player chose battle retry, party members will not have full HP/MP and have no bad status.

Enjoy~^^


Features
Version 1.0
- Set switch ID to enable/disable battle retry during the game
- Editable command's text, command's window width and Y-coordinate
- You can choose to record party actors stat (HP/MP/States) before battle

Woah, this reminds me of Lunar (I love it too much, I know)! Another great script, great job Wora!

But just one thing: Is there a simple way to activate this for all battles?

Hey, this looks pretty cool, Woratana. Nice script. I'll try it out.

[Valnar]

@SuperMega just turn the Switch you setted for Battle Retry on maybe and it will count for all battles after that if switch is on so just turn it at staring map

Btw just to know why this script have to be places on the bottom of custem script place?

[woratana]

@Valnar
Because if you put this script above other custom script that rewrite same methods in this script, it will not work.

@l33tpie 6
Thanks ^^/ Don't forget to tell me how it goes.

@SuperMega
The answer is as valnar said. I'm glad you like it. ^^

Ah, I can't believe I didn't realize that! Thanks for the help, I must have been tired last night

Worked perfectly fine! This script is great! I may even implement it in my next demo...

I think this would be interesting if you were able to add in penalties, such as getting no Exp and/or Gold for the battle you retried on, for example. That way, the only reason to retry is if you don't want to start all over or something.

I agree with this, but I think it would be best if it was optional. Games like Lunar Silver Star Story (Yes, I am using it as an example again) allow you to restart free of charge, no penalties. Except you would fight the battle with the same HP and SP as you entered with the first time, and not have it recharge or anything.

Heyo,

I have no errors with this script, but there's a couple of things that would make it more awesome;
At the moment when I retry a battle, the battle music disappears.
And any items you use in the battle which you died in do not appear after you've retried.

Is there any way to make it so that the battle BGM replays and items don't disappear?

Thanks for reporting bugs. ^^
Those things will be fixed in the next release
