Introduction

     This plugin adds new Action Sequences to Yanfly's Battle Engine Core (so make sure you have that plugin and the Action Sequence Packs installed) to add a couple of new effects such as balloons, move adjustments, easings, projectiles, and if you have Olivia's Battle Impact plugin, the special impact effects, too!

This plugin is made compatible with Olivia's Battle Impact plugin:


Plugin Parameters


Radian Adjustments

     These are used for projectile Action Sequences. If a projectile is angled, then the "arrow head" will be the upper left corner of the icon and the lower left corner of an animation. These are the default values. If your icons or animations are made differently, you can adjust the radians to your liking. If you want to know how to convert degrees to radians, use this math formula below:

     radians = degree * (Pi / 180)

     This is left as a constant for all projectiles to keep the math done properly during its calculation mid-Action Sequence.

Instructions

     As mentioned before in the introduction, this plugin adds new Action Sequences to Yanfly's Battle Engine Core. If you don't have those plugins, you can download them for free from here:



     Some of the action sequences added in this pack also require Olivia's Battle Impact plugin to use, but those are optional. If you can get Olivia's plugin here:


     After that, you could use the Acton Sequences in the sections below.

Action Sequences: Prev Target, Next Target


     Before I begin on the Action Sequences, I want to say there's two new additions to the targeting mechanism. You know the parts where you put in "user" or "targets"? Now, during the <Target Actions> phase, you can use either "Prev Target" or "Next Target" to grab either the previous one or the next target in the list.

Action Sequences: New Stuff

This part of the document will now be formatted like Yanfly's Action Seq help file to bring about a sense of familiarity.


=============================================================================
BALLOON type: targets
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

instead. For types, replace that word with any of the following:
 
     !

MOVE TYPE: target, easing
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Changes the way the target moves (until the end of the skill/item is done)
using easing. Replace 'easing' with any of the following:
 
     Linear ......... No easing, no acceleration
 
     InSine ......... Slight acceleration from zero to full speed
     OutSine ........ Slight deceleration at the end
     InOutSine ...... Slight accel. at beginning and slight decel. at end
 
     InQuad ......... LV2 Accelerating from zero velocity
     OutQuad ........ LV2 Decelerating to zero velocity
     InOutQuad ...... LV2 Acceleration until halfway, then deceleration
 
     InCubic ........ LV3 Accelerating from zero velocity
     OutCubic ....... LV3 Decelerating to zero velocity
     InOutCubic ..... LV3 Acceleration until halfway, then deceleration
 
     InQuart ........ LV4 Accelerating from zero velocity
     OutQuart ....... LV4 Decelerating to zero velocity
     InOutQuart ..... LV4 Acceleration until halfway, then deceleration
 
     InQuint ........ LV5 Accelerating from zero velocity
     OutQuint ....... LV5 Decelerating to zero velocity
     InOutQuint ..... LV5 Acceleration until halfway, then deceleration
 
     InExpo ......... Accelerate exponentially until finish
     OutExpo ........ Initial exponential acceleration slowing to stop
     InOutExpo ...... Exponential acceleration and deceleration
 
     InCirc ......... Increasing velocity until stop
     OutCirc ........ Start fast, decreasing velocity until stop
     InOutCirc ...... Fast increase in velocity, fast decrease in velocity
 
     InBack ......... Slow movement backwards then fast snap to finish
     OutBack ........ Fast snap to backwards point then slow to finish
     InOutBack ...... Back In, then Back Out
 
     InElastic ...... Bounces slowly then quickly to finish
     OutElastic ..... Fast acceleration, bounces to zero
     InOutElastic ... Slow start and end, two bounces sandwich a fast motion
 
     InBounce ....... Bounce increasing in velocity until completion
     OutBounce ...... Bounce to completion
     InOutBounce .... Bounce in and bounce out
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Usage Example: move type: user, InOutBack
               move type: target, OutBounce
=============================================================================


=============================================================================
MOVE target OFFSET: +X, +Y
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Use this after a Move Action Sequence. This lets you adjust the movement
location goal of the target by +x and +y. You can use negative numbers, too.
A positive number will mean further past the goal. A negative number means
before the goal. This is done this way to not have absolutes making tricky
calculations depending on which way the battler is facing
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Usage Example: move user offset: +100, +0
               move target offset: -50, +25
=============================================================================


=============================================================================
PROJECTILE ICON id: START x y, GOAL x y
PROJECTILE ICON id: START target, GOAL target
PROJECTILE ANI id: START x y, GOAL x y
PROJECTILE ANI id: START target, GOAL target
PROJECTILE ANIMATION id: START x y, GOAL x y
PROJECTILE ANIMATION id: START target, GOAL target
 
(optional parameters)
DURATION d
ARC a
EASE type
SPIN s
ICON SCALE i
ANGLE

START OFFSET -x -y
GOAL OFFSET +x +y
GOAL OFFSET -x -y
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Replace id with either the icon index or the battle animation graphic you
want to use with the projectile. Choose a starting X and Y position or link
it to a target. Then choose a goal X and Y position or link that to a target
too. The rest of the parameters are optional and can be used in any order
you want, but I'll go through each of them.
If the starting targets have more than one member in them, projectiles will
be spawned from each target as a source. If the goal targets have more than
one member, projectiles will be made for each target. This means for each
source and each goal, a projectile will be made.
 
Duration: replace the d with the number of frames of duration. Default: 20
Arc: replace the a with the maximum arc height in pixels
Ease: replace type with an easing type from the Move Type list above
Spin: replace s with how fast you want the projectile to spin.
Icon Scale: replce i with the scale you want to increase your icons by
Angle: If you want the projectile to "arrow head" towards its goal, use this
Start Offset: lets you adjust the x and y offset of the starting position
Goal Offset: lets you adjust the x and y offset of the goal position
 
You can use as many projectiles on the screen at once as you want.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Usage Example: projectile icon 161: start user, goal target
               projectile ani 71: start user, goal target
projectile icon 176: duration 60, arc 300, spin 1.5
projectile ani 71: duration 60, arc 50, ease InOutBack, angle

Waits for all the projectiles on the screen to reach their targets before
moving on with the rest of the Action Sequence list.
