Target Selection IN BATTLE [V1.3], just like FFIX :D Options

[cr4200]

Title: Target Selection In Battle
Version: 1.3
Author: CR4200

Intro

This Script alows the player to directly decide whether or not to attack 1 enemy
or all. It might not llok glamorous but it adds a new level of strategy to battles.
It also divides the attack damage equally among the affect enemies.
It's nothing to glamorous but it gets the job done.
It's also my first 1day script :thumbsup:

*UPDATE*
I have returned from boston and so now i shall do some more work on this.
For right now i've just added a simple custom button input option as well
as a "damage effect" option, read about it in the V1.1 script.
thanks for the feedback everyone. :D
I will try and add in a party/enemy switch soon.

*UPDATE*
thanks to Broken Aesop, I've fixed a bug in the system that made it so that if you first chose a "target all" skill then attack for the next actor, then the skill would revert back to a single target. But I've fixed that and have put up the new script.

*UPDATE*
Now works for ally skills such as healing and buffing skills

Features

V1.3
• "Choose All" selection works for ally skills such as healing and buffing
  V1.2(bug fix)

V1.3
Made By: CR4200
This script adds the function to choose in battle
whether to attack a single target or all for certain skills.
The Damage of the attack is then split up among the
targets equally.

This is a script I have long looked for on the forums
and have been unable to find so i made it myself.
This is my first ONE day script and thus it's not
to flashy, but it does what it needs to do.

_-_-_-[How to use]-_-_-_

Simply put "<scopechoose>" (without quotes) within
the notes section of the desired skill.

i/e: 2 enemies alive
actor 1 chooses attack

you can view this as a plus or a minus, i might make a way to

Interesting. Would you allow for us to choose a different button to do the select all thing? I much prefer L and R buttons to do it since I'm already using shift for something else.

[BizarreMonkey]

I would like the feature to be able to select not only all or 1 but also select either enemies or party, rpgmaker vx is limiting like that, if you could have it so you can choose all your party or all enemies as well as any individual party member it would be awesome. ofcourse, you would have to do a scrolling list for Window_Target selection. because it only expect there to be a max of 8, where this could become a max of 12 [or more if you count large party]... alternatively, you could have a key combo like L and R switch between enemy and actors

That would be the most tits thing ever. since monsters can do it via the troops, only players would need the ability to do it.

I can see someone making All materia of this script

I can see someone making All materia of this script

They already have working materia systems...

[SuperMega]

Ah man, I loved FFIX. Thanks for the script! It works great! It would be great if it would work with Takentai though. If possible, I suggest you do so.

On Shanghai's suggestion, how about a choice for the button, because I'm using L and R for something already.

[Learwolf]

I've been waiting for a script that does this for sooooo long!
Thank you so much for posting this!
Also, as BizzareMonkey said, being able to choose between enemies AND allies, would be one step closer to having a more free-feeling battle.

[jin69]

Nice work man.

[cr4200]

Thanks for the feedback everyone.
I've updated the top post with a new script(V1.1) that allows you to choose the buttons.
I've also added a new way to control damage distribution.
As for the party/enemy switch idea i will try and work on it soon.
But i can't promise anything right now.

[Andrelvis]

Simple and elegant script, for a useful function. Nicely done

EDIT: Can I post this script at the brazilian forum http://www.mundorpgmaker.com/forum ?
I'll give all due credit, of course.

[cr4200]

ya sure that would be fine.

[Andrelvis]

Thanks =)

[jin69]

I'm surprised that there's not that much post for a script like this one i just hope it gets compatible with Tankentai cuz that will really make it feel more like FF.

[BizarreMonkey]

This is looking good, i would like it compatible with tankentai too if possible, since for some reason i fail at making games without tankentai.

[Shanghai]

Tankentai uses a completely different targetting system than this one or the default as far as scripting is concerned. It won't be as easy of a request, but don't let that stop the OP from making it if he decides to. I won't fault him for not wanting to deal with the mess of coding that Tankentai has.

[Broken Aesop]

Please help
This script isn't working for me. For some reason, the scope selection only works if no one else is doing anything. If anyone else does anything other than guard, it just targets whoever I had my cursor over. Why does this happen? I have no other scripts going yet so it can't be a compatibility issue, I'm just wondering if anyone has had that problem or has any idea why this is happening.

[cr4200]

@Broken Aesop, thanks for catching this bug. I'm surprised no one else noticed it. Anyway, i took another look at the code and found the problem
and i'll upload the fixed script to the main post.
tell me if you find anymore problems.

[Broken Aesop]

Better, but it only works if someone used a command before the character who used target all. If Ulrika casts Fire on all, after Ralph attacked, it works. If Ralph casts Fire on all and then Ulrika attacks, it just casts on one.

[cr4200]

@Broken Aesop
I am unable to get the same results you are getting.
are you using any other scripts or anything?

[Broken Aesop]

EDIT: Nevermind, I don't know what happened, but the problem fixed itself.

????

But, anyway, awesome! The only thing I could ask for now is to get it working on party member spells as well!
