This script is simply phenomenal. I wasn't planning on making the game I'm working on into an SRPG, but I may have to reconsider with this one...
I do have one question however. Is there anyway to make it so that your characters and enemies are able to counter-attack? Would that be implemented in this script or another?

[The Oracle]

OMG this is even better than side view

[lord of the Reck]

@Angelking did you try putting it in your project folder...in 100% that is the prob...lol

[ice]

Hey guys, pls pls pls, help me about this, I've seen a script that may fit in this tactical battle system, that is the stealth detection system script. Can anyone pls tell me how to use the stealth detection script for GTBS? Coz I am making a tactical naruto rpg game that have techniques like shadow binding tech., some ninja traps and ninja combos like using rasengan to an enemy caught by shadow binding technique, isnt that great? So, how can I make traps to caught enemy if the enemy is aware of our presence? So the stealth detection is the solution for this. The enemy wont detect us if my ninjas were hidden in the forest of trees and we will surprise them with some great combo. Hehe, sounds like extreme ninja strategy battles. I hope someone will help me combine GTBS to stealth detection script. Im iliterate on making scripts so i have no idea how to make it. Please help and thank you very much.

@Lord of Reck

Thank you, that was pretty much it, problem was, I never knew there was a project file. It's not in with the rest of the files, in a seperate part of my computer, thanks for your help, getting more problems now but I think this is just because I haven't setup the script yet, just wanted to see if it worked.

[Edjie]

very nice script, I'm planning to make game with this battle, but i have a little problem,
can we make event in the middle of battle, for example : enemy/allied reinforcement?

and I found a bug for team-based mode, which you can have unlimited move/attack if you press ESC
in your turn. So, i can beat 10 enemies with only 1 character in single turn.

You can make events in the middle of a battle by renaming the event to "battle_event" (always do this if you want the event to be in a battle),
and using conditional branches and scripting such as
"$game_temp.battle_turn == 2" , if you want the event to happen on turn 2
or "$game_temp.in_battle" , if your in a battle when you've activated the event.

as for the repetitive moves glitch,
"Find the def set_active_battler section of Scene_Battle_TBS and remove or comment out the line that says: @active_battler.clear_tbs_actions(true) and it will resolve the problem." -quoted from Gubid

@P-Drogan
thx you, it worked well, no more repetitive move glitch.

but after that I have a script error, when Neutral unit turn begin, it had script error, it says :
Script 'Scene_Battle_TBS' line 3458 : NoMethodError occured
undefined method 'paralyzed?' for nil:NilClass

have any idea?

Script 'Scene_Battle_TBS' line 3458 : NoMethodError occured
undefined method 'paralyzed?' for nil:NilClass

have any idea?

did it looked anything like this on line 3458, under Scene_Battle_TBS?
" if @active_battler.paralyzed? or @active_battler.sleeping? "
if not, then either replace that line with above ,
or if that doesn't work, replace everything starting at
"#----------------
Process AI Action
#------------------"
with this:

CODE

#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Process AI Action
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
def tbs_phase_7
return if update_screen
if @waited == false
@wait_count = GTBS::ENEMY_THINK_TIME
@waited = true
end
#if battler is paralyzed or sleeping then end turn.
if @active_battler.paralyzed? or @active_battler.sleeping?
if @active_battler.hp > 0 and @active_battler.slip_damage?
@active_battler.slip_damage_effect
@active_battler.damage_pop = true
end
@active_battler.has_doom?
@attack_before_move = false
@active_battler.blink = false
@tbs_phase = 0
if $game_system.cust_battle == "TEAM"
$game_system.acted.push(@active_battler)
battler = @active_battler
@active_battler.clear_tbs_actions
@active_battler = nil
if battler.is_a?(Game_Enemy)
next_enemy
end
else
@wait = false
@temp_acted += 1
@ATB_Active = true
@active_battler.clear_tbs_actions
@active_battler = nil
end
return
end

if none of them worked, then I'm stumped.
You can always ask Gubid in another forum through the link in the first post.

@P-Drogan
thank you, the problem resolved.

[The Professor]

Wow. This makes me wish I had XP.. I'm wondering how this would look with a parallax background.. I'll have to try that.


Many thanks! This made my day.

[The Professor]

This really isn't that big of a deal but, it's slightly irritating because I don't know what's causing it..

I finally (I think) figured out how to make my own battle.. And I was so proud of myself. =P
I made them an enemy, named it, set the stats.. etc.
I made a troop, put all the enemies there..
Imported $graphics.png into BOTH characters and battlers

Copied and pasted the slime monster that initiates the battle, and changed some of the dialog.
I changed the battle to the one I made..
Wasn't sure what the script: set_open_scene did, so I didn't change that.
Side question: What does Script:tbs_victory("boss"##) mean? What do the numbers do? I changed them to the
troop ID anyway...

And then, when it try to run it, it'll tell me that it can't find graphics/battler/$$graphic.png

Why is it double $?! I mean, I can always change the name to $$, so this is more out of curiosity.
I know I was probably something I did, but I cannot figure it out for the life in me!


EDIT"
I tried loading just graphic.png without the $, and it still wanted one $ for the battle.. Which seemed reasonable, until I realized now I have to have both graphic.png AND $graphic.png (the same picture) in the same folder.

Why is that?

Side question: What does Script:tbs_victory("boss"##) mean? What do the numbers do? I changed them to the
troop ID anyway...

tbs_victory("boss",##) means that you will win a battle when you defeat a particular enemy, such as slimes, based on their Enemy ID (for slimes, it's 001).
Also if you want an event to occur afterwards then insert this one: "tbs_victory("boss", ##, [u]##[\u])" ,
Where the the underlined ## is the common event ID that you want to activate.
Note: You will never win a battle until all of the particular enemies are defeated (this means that you must kill all of the slimes, not just one.)

hope that helps!

This is an awesome script! I was totally interested in using this...however, I'm having a bit of a problem. When you level up in your system, it displays a quick Level Up! message, which is fine. However, I've been using a script called LevelUpDisplayConfig, which shows a screen at the end of a normal battle if you've leveled up with your new stats and such. I cannot find a way to impliment this into your script! If there's any advice you could give me, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

[SirChaos]

can anyone help me. i am using VX and every time its says battle start. then like 2secs later it says i win. i copied all the scripts and the images. what is wrong?

[The Angelking]

I'm basically getting the same problem as the guy above. 'Activates' enemy, goes into the seperate map, players and enemies stand there for a few secs, unable to move, the it comes up with 'battle completed' and returns me to the original map, where the enemy still stands patrolling.

Tried messing with it but to no avail, can anyone help?

[Midnight Assassi...]

I'm not sure if - now that Gubid's here, whether I should ask via here or his board but can you make a feature that allows the fighter to go into a battle screen when you choose to attack the enemy (classic style).

In Short: Move to enemy, choose "Attack", go into battle screen with player that chose to attack.

[bamboohamster]

I need help on GTBS

after I attack then confirm the attack the following error shows up:

Script 'Bitmap/AnimObj' line 164: NoMethodError occurred.

undefined method 'name' for nil:NillClass


Please let me know if you have any suggestions...


Can post script if needed...

[holocalistic]

Is there a gun module for this like is there a script i can add on to make possible guns like the bow and arrow

[Soa]

Ok i feel real noob for posting this but eh here it goes....

Ok is there a way i can put the player back to where the battle was called from like ... in my game the normal fights are called by sprites walking towards your charater and touching you ( much like Tales of symphonia if any one has played that) then i transfer them to the map were they fight. I wanna know if theres any way to put the charater back in the exact same spot that they were in when the monster touches you to start the fight..... oh and i LOVE this script >< it very well done tho i havent figerd it out completely
