Targeting Priority Manipulator : Schala Battle System Patch

A patch for Enemy AI : Targeting Priority Manipulator for Schala Battle System has been released. Go grab it on the script page.

Enemy AI : Targeting Priority Manipulator

The default VX Ace's enemy targeting behavior just pick a random target for any actions.
This script adds some AI targeting priority. With this script, the enemies become able to pick a target based on the action specific priority.

Download the script here. You might also want to look at the patches below.
Installation

Put this script below ▼ Materials and above ▼ Main Process.

Usage

In an enemy notebox, you can add some tags.

<target [action_id] [shortcut]>

where [action_id] corresponds to the enemy's action list, and [shortcut] corresponds to one of the implemented targeting priority method.

Example:

<target 1 high_hp>

This will make the enemy target the battlers with the highest HP value when using action number 1 (by default Attack).

<target 2 low_hp_rate>

This will make the enemy target the battler with the lowest HP percentage when using action number 2. If the action no. 2 is set to Heal, the enemy will proceed to heal its ally with the lowest percentage of health.

Available targeting shortcut is as follows:

low_hp
high_hp
low_hp_rate
high_hp_rate
low_mp
high_mp
low_mp_rate
high_mp_rate
low_tp
high_tp
low_tp_rate
high_tp_rate
self
not_self

If you want to make your own targeting condition, use

<target eval [action_id]>
[eval]
</target eval>

where [eval] is a ruby expression that takes returns -1, 0, or 1.
In the eval, a and b denotes the battlers that would be sorted.

For example, to make the enemy prioritize Eric when doing its ultimate skill, the tag will be

<target eval 8>
if a.name == "Eric"
-1
elsif b.name == "Eric"
1
else
a.hp <=> b.hp
end
</target eval>

Do note that target selection is done at the start of the turn, like actors. The enemy will not suddenly change target mid-turn, for example if its target had already healed.
Also, TGR have no effect on acquiring target.

Patches:
There is a patch for Schala Battle System here.

Script Update: End Turn/Action Skill v 1.2

The End Turn/Action Skill has been updated to version 1.2. The update addressed some bugs that is missed on previous version, and expanding the tag to all feature objects. Get the new version at the script page.

Restrict/Seal Equipment By Weapon/Armor Types

By default, VX Ace does not offer equipment restriction by weapon or armor types, only equipment slots can be sealed. This script tries to rectify that so a battler can be prohibited from equipping a specific weapon/armor types.

Download here.

Installation

Put this script below ▼ Materials and above ▼ Main Process. If there are scripts that overwrite the aliased methods below, put this script below said script.

Usage

To make an actor, class, enemy (even though it does not make sense), equipment, or state to seal a specific weapon or armor types, use these notetags:

<seal wtype: x>
<seal atype: x>

This will make the weapon/armor with specified types cannot be equipped.

You can also specify more than one types in the notetag:

<seal wtype: x, y, z>
<seal atype: x, y, z>

Example:

<seal wtype: 1>

This will make Axe-type weapons unequippable for the battler.

Gain TP on Kill

This script adds a gain TP by killing function. Users can specify the details
using various notetags.

Download the script here.

Installation

Put this script below ▼ Materials and above ▼ Main Process.

If there are scripts that overwrite the aliased methods below,

put this script below said script.

Usage

To make an actor, class, enemy, equipment, or state adds TP when killing

enemy, add this notetag:

<kill gain tp: x>

where x is the number of tp gained, x can be a negative value.

To make them give TP upon death, add this notetag:

<death give tp: x>

where x is the number of tp given, x can be a negative value.
