Member Function Documentation

◆ damagePopup() [1/2]

void RPG::Battler::damagePopup	(	int	number,
		int	color )

Shows a damage popup with a number.

This function will make a number pop up on a battler.

Parameters

number	The number to show
color	Color to use (`0` to `19`)

See also: damagePopup(std::string)

◆ damagePopup() [2/2]

void RPG::Battler::damagePopup ( std::string text )

Shows a damage popup with a small text.

This function will make a small text pop up on a battler.

Parameters

text	Text to show

See also: damagePopup(int, int)

◆ executeAction()

bool RPG::Battler::executeAction ( bool skipPluginHandlers = false )

Executes the action of a battler (highly experimental!)

This function can be used to execute an action. You need to set the content of the action object before.

Parameters

skipPluginHandlers If true, no onDoBattlerAction and onBattlerActionDone handlers will be called for this action.

Returns: true if the action was successfully executed, otherwise false (in this case try again next frame)

Warning: This is a highly experimental function! During testing, it has repeatedly caused strange errors and crashes when executed under the wrong conditions or to the wrong time! It's probably not safe to use it for anything else than experiments, to be honest.

Member Data Documentation

◆ animationId

int RPG::Battler::animationId

ID of the battle graphic pose (see details)

This member specifies which battle graphic pose is displayed. Look into the "Animations 2" tab of the database to find out what the different values mean (e.g. 6 means "Taking damage").

Note: This member has no meaning to monsters. The ID of the current battler pose (for Actors)

◆ atbValue

int RPG::Battler::atbValue

Current value of the ATB bar (0 to 300000 - see details)

Internally, the ATB bar can have a value between 0 and 300000 where 0 means empty and 300000 means full. If you set a battler's ATB value to a value greater than or equal to 300000, this will trigger his next action (in case of a monster) or open the action window (in case of an actor).

◆ conditions

DArray<short, 1> RPG::Battler::conditions

Turns elapsed in a certain condition (see details)

This is an array which has as much possible members as there are conditions in the database. The values tell you how many turns the battler has taken while being affected by a certain conditions. If a value is zero, the particular condition does not affect this battler.

For example, if conditions[2] were 4, this battler would have been infected by poison (by default, condition #2 is poison) for 4 turns. If it were zero, the battler would not be poisoned at the moment.

Warning: If you remove all conditions from a hero in battle, make sure that the animationId is not 9, otherwise the RPG Maker will try to show the animation for condition #0 which doesn't exist. This would result in an error stating that an "Event script referenced a condition that does not exist". Use a failsafe like this (0 stands for the idle animation):
if(battler->animationId == 9) battler->animationId = 0;

RPG::map
Map *& map
The current map environment (camera, events, etc.)

◆ displayedConditions

int RPG::Battler::displayedConditions[5]

Conditions which will be displayed in the info window (see details)

At target selection, there will be an info window displayed if the target is affected by a condition. The info has five columns for condition names. This array contains the database IDs of the conditions which are displayed in this window. The content of this array will be reset on several occasions. You can change this array in your onDrawBattleStatusWindow handler.

Note: Conditions in the array are arranged from highest priority (0) to lowest (4).

◆ flashIntensity

double RPG::Battler::flashIntensity

Intensity for flashing the battler (0 to 31 - will decrease until flashing is done)

Note: Values over 31 will cause the palette to go crazy. Of course you can also use this as an intentional effect.

◆ id

int RPG::Battler::id

One-based ID of the battler.

For actors this value is the database ID, for monsters it is the party member ID plus one (e.g. RPG::monsters[3]->id should always be 4).

If you want to get the database ID of a monster, you have to use RPG::Monster::databaseId.
