Introduction
RPG Maker MV's default enemy AI is a bit lackluster even if you managed to have it based completely on the rates and switches. There is no way to control the way the enemy chooses targets by default, nor are the conditions imposed by the default editor enough to satisfy the majority of checks. This plugin enables you to set a priority list of conditions, actions, and the targets selected for the enemy to go through before making a decision on how to participate in battle. These conditions contain all of the default editor's conditions plus more, such as determining the parameter values of a target, whether or not a state exists on a target, the target's elemental weakness (or resistances), and more before deciding an action. Furthermore, you can set an AI level for the enemies to make them more consistent in the way they go about fighting your players or more random in the way the enemies treat the priority list, too.
Parameters
Dynamic Actions By default, the enemy's actions are determined at the start of the turn. While this works in its own right, enabling Dynamic Actions allow enemies to make a decision when the enemy's turn comes up instead. This prompts enemies to be more flexible and to appear more intelligent in battle, thus, giving your players a bit more of a challenge. Element Testing If this is disabled, enemies will automatically know the elemental weakness, resistance, etc. about all actors. If enabled, enemies will need to test out the skills on various actors first before making a decision. Until the enemy learns about the actor's elemental rates, the enemy is always willing to try using the skill on the target actor. However, if the skill itself does not possess an element, then no information will be registered. All elemental data is reset at the start of each battle for all enemy parties. Default AI Level Not all enemies are intelligent. In fact, some of them are dumb or random. Setting the AI Level of a foe at a low number means the foe is more random while a higher AI Level foe is more consistent. How the AI Level works is, a random number will be checked from 0 to 99. If that enemy's AI Level is higher than that number, that action is checked to see if the condition is fulfilled or not. If the AI Level is lower than that number, the condition is automatically deemed false and continues on to the next action. The check is ran each time a new action is checked upon. This random factor is only applied to <AI Priority> lists and do not apply to default actions.
Enemy AI Level
Enemy AI levels do not determine how difficult they are. Instead, they determine how strictly they will follow the <AI Priority> lists. An AI Level of 80 means it has an 80% chance of following the prioritized action on the AI Priority list before moving onto the next one where there will be another 80% chance and so on. If the AI level is lower, the chance is lower, making the AI to be more random. Enemy Notetag: <AI Level: x> Sets the enemy's AI level to x. The lower x, the more random the enemy. The higher for x, the more strict the enemy is about following the AI Priority list found in its notebox, too.
Enemy AI Priority
If an enemy has an AI Priority list, the enemy will go down that list from top to bottom (giving the actions at the top more priority than the ones at the bottom) looking for any actions whose conditions are fulfilled. If that condition is fulfilled, then that action will be the action the enemy will partake in. To set up a Priority List for the enemy, you must place inside the enemy's notebox notetags that match the following format: <AI Priority> <AI Priority> condition: SKILL x, target or condition: skill name, target condition: SKILL x, target condition: skill name, target </AI Priority> </AI Priority> Any number of conditions and skills can be placed in between the two <AI Priority> tags. You can choose to use skill ID's or the skill names. However, if you use the skill names, keep in mind that it is not case sensitive and if any skills in your database have matching names, the skill with the larger skill ID will be the action used.
Conditions
The following is a list of ways you can format your conditions for the enemy
to choose the right skill. In addition to deciding whether or not the skill
will be used, the condition also selects the enemy target. The following
list will tell you how the conditions are met and what targets will be
selected for battle.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
ALWAYS
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
This condition will always be fulfilled. The valid target group is all
targets within scope.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Example: Always: Skill 10, Lowest HP%
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
ELEMENT X case
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
This allows you to match the element rate of element X (use either a number
or the name of the element in place of 'X') to see whether or not the
conditions for the action are fulfilled. Replace 'case' with 'Neutral' for
normal element rate (under 110% and above 90%), 'Weakness' for anything
above 100% element rate, 'Resistant' for below 100% element rate, 'Null' for
0% element rate, and 'Absorb' for below 0% element rate. Valid targets will
be those with the matching element rates.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Example: Element Fire Weakness: Fireball, Lowest HP%
Element Water Resistant: Water Cancel, Highest MAT
Element 4 Null: Earthquake, Lowest MDF
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
EVAL eval
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
This allows you to use any kind of code to check and fulfill a condition.
This condition uses all alive members of the skill's scope as valid targets.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Example: Eval user.name() === 'Bat A': Skill 10, Highest HP%
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
group ALIVE MEMBERS eval
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Replace 'group' with either 'party' for the player's party or 'troop' for
the enemy party. This runs the number of party alive members or troop alive
members in a check to see if the conditions can be fulfilled.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Example: Party Alive Members > 2: Skill 10, Lowest HP%
Troop Alive Members <= 4: Skill 11, Highest HP%
Troop Alive Members === $gameVariables.value(3): Skill 12, Random
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
group DEAD MEMBERS eval
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Replace 'group' with either 'party' for the player's party or 'troop' for
the enemy party. This runs the number of party dead members or troop dead
members in a check to see if the conditions can be fulfilled.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Example: Party Dead Members > 2: Undead, Highest ATK
Troop Dead Members <= 4: Life, Highest ATK
Troop Dead Members === $gameVariables.value(3): Skill 12, Random
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
stat PARAM eval
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Replace 'stat' with either 'atk', 'def', 'mat', 'mdf', 'agi', 'luk',
'maxhp', 'maxmp', 'hp', 'mp', 'hp%', 'mp%', or 'level' to run it in a
condition check again to see if the action gets passed. The group that it
checks will be based on the skill's scope. If the skill targets foes, then
all foes will take a check to see if they fulfill the conditions. Likewise
for party members if the skill is for allies. The valid targets will be
those who pass the condition check.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Example: HP% param <= 50%: Heal, Lowest HP%
MP param > 90: Mana Drain, Highest MP
ATK param > user.atk: Power Break, Highest ATK
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
type PARTY LEVEL eval
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Replace 'type' with either 'highest', 'lowest', or 'average' to get the
respective party level for the skill's scope. This will reference the entire
party's level. If this condition is fulfilled, all targets would become
valid targets.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Example: Highest Party Level > 10: Skill 10, Lowest MP%
Lowest Party Level < 12: Skill 11, Lowest HP%
Average Party Level > 15: Skill 12, Highest HP%
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
RANDOM x%
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
This will make the condition based on a random x percent chance. This
condition allows all possible targets to be valid for targeting.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Example: Random 50%: Skill 10, Lowest HP%
Random 75%: Skill 11, Highest HP%
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
STATE === state x
STATE === state name
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
This will detect if the target scope has state x (or state name if you use
that instead). If the target does, that target is added into the pool of
valid targets. Any targets not affected by the state will be ignored.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Example: State === State 5: DeBlind, Highest ATK
State === Knockout: Life, Random
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
STATE !== state x
STATE !== state name
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
This will detect if the target scope does not have state x (or state name if
you use that instead). If the target doesn't, that target is added into the
pool of valid targets. Any targets affected by the state will be ignored.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Example: State !== State 12: Haste, Random
State !== Courage: Cowardice, Highest ATK
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
SWITCH X case
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Replace 'x' with the ID of the switch you wish to check. Replace 'case' with
either 'on' or 'off' (you may also use 'true' or 'false'). If the switch
matches the case, the condition is fulfilled and all skill targets become
valid targets.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Example: Switch 5 On: Skill 10, Lowest HP%
Switch 6 Off: Skill 11, Highest HP%
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
TURN eval
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
This will make the condition based on the turn count to be fulfilled by an
eval statement. This condition allows all possible targets to be valid for
targeting.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Example: Turn > 3: Skill 10, Lowest hp%
Turn === 4: Skill 11, Highest hp%
Turn <= $gameVariables.value(2): Skill 12, Random
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
USER stat PARAM eval
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Replace 'stat' with either 'atk', 'def', 'mat', 'mdf', 'agi', 'luk',
'maxhp', 'maxmp', 'hp', 'mp', 'hp%', 'mp%', or 'level' to run it in a
condition check again to see if the action gets passed. If the user's param
matches the conditions, the check is fulfilled.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Example: User HP% param <= 50%: Heal, Lowest HP%
User MP param > 90: Mana Drain, Highest MP
User ATK param > user.atk: Power Break, Highest ATK
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
VARIABLE X eval
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
This will call forth the value of variable 'x' to partake in an eval
comparison to see if the condition is fulfilled. If it is, all skill targets
become valid targets.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Example: Variable 3 > 10: Skill 10, Lowest HP%
Variable 5 <= 100: Skill 11, Highest HP%
Variable 2 === user.atk: Skill 12
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Multiple Conditions
As of the version 1.11 update, the Battle A.I. Core is now able to support
multiple conditions. Setting up multiple conditions is relatively simple to
do and still follows the 'condition: SKILL x, target' format.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
To add multiple conditions, simply insert a +++ between each condition like
the following examples:
Switch 1 on +++ Switch 2 on: Fire, Lowest HP%
Turn 3 > 1 +++ Variable 5 <= 100 +++ Switch 3 on: Ice, Lowest HP%
Random 50% +++ Highest Party Level > 50: Thunder, Highest HP%
In the above examples, all the conditions must be met in order for the
selected skills to be considered for use.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
For conditions that have strict targeting groups, the targeting group will
end up becoming the combination of all of the strict targeting groups. For
example:
STATE === Blind +++ STATE === Fear: Dark, Lowest HP%
In this example, the enemy will only use the 'Dark' skill on a target that
is both affected by 'Blind' and 'Fear'. If there are multiple targets, then
the target with the lowest HP% will become the target the enemy will cast
the 'Dark' on.
STATE !== Blind +++ ATK param >= 150: Darkness, Highest ATK
In the above example, the enemy will use the 'Darkness' skill against any
target that isn't blinded and has an ATK parameter of at least 150. If there
are multiple targets, then the enemy will first cast 'Darkness' on the
target with the highest ATK before casting it on a target with a lower ATK.
Targeting
Targeting is optional but can be done via a small change to the condition.
All you have to do is add a ',' after the skill to indicate which target in
the valid target group you would like to target. For example:
Random 50%: Fire, Highest HP%
The condition to be met is the 50% random chance, but if it is fulfilled,
the target selected will be the member on the targeting scope's team with
the highest HP percentage. When that happens, the 'Fire' skill will be used
upon that target.
If no target is specified, a random target will be selected amongst the
group of valid targets. Otherwise, refer to the following list:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
<<nothing>> Selects a random member of the valid target group.
First Selects first member of the valid target group.
User Selects the user itself.
Highest MaxHP Selects highest MaxHP valid target.
Highest HP Selects highest HP valid target.
Highest HP% Selects highest HP% valid target. *Note1
Highest MaxMP Selects highest MaxMP valid target.
Highest MP Selects highest MP valid target.
Highest MP% Selects highest MP% valid target. *Note1
Highest MaxTP Selects highest MaxTP valid target.
Highest TP Selects highest TP valid target.
Highest TP% Selects highest TP% valid target. *Note1
Highest ATK Selects highest ATK valid target.
Highest DEF Selects highest DEF valid target.
Highest MAT Selects highest MAT valid target.
Highest MDF Selects highest MDF valid target.
Highest AGI Selects highest AGI valid target.
Highest LUK Selects highest LUK valid target.
Highest Level Selects highest Level valid target. *Note2
Lowest MaxHP Selects lowest MaxHP valid target.
Lowest HP Selects lowest HP valid target.
Lowest HP% Selects lowest HP% valid target. *Note1
Lowest MaxMP Selects lowest MaxMP valid target.
Lowest MP Selects lowest MP valid target.
Lowest MP% Selects lowest MP% valid target. *Note1
Lowest MaxTP Selects lowest MaxMP valid target.
Lowest TP Selects lowest MP valid target.
Lowest TP% Selects lowest MP% valid target. *Note1
Lowest ATK Selects lowest ATK valid target.
Lowest DEF Selects lowest DEF valid target.
Lowest MAT Selects lowest MAT valid target.
Lowest MDF Selects lowest MDF valid target.
Lowest AGI Selects lowest AGI valid target.
Lowest LUK Selects lowest LUK valid target.
Lowest Level Selects lowest Level valid target. *Note2
Note1: This is calculated by dividing the current HP with the MaxHP or the
current MP with the MaxMP.
Note2: If this is used on an enemy without a proper enemy level plugin
installed, this will return the player party's highest level.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Special Notes
If you are using YEP_Taunt.js, enemies will automatically not factor in taunts by default. For that matter, targets can be protected by taunts effects, which can effectively shut down an enemy's AI performance. However, if you want some enemies to consider the taunt effects of an opponent, place this notetag inside of the enemy's notebox: <AI Consider Taunt> This will make it that when an enemy makes a decision, it will make a right decision while thinking of the taunted enemies, too. You can use this for smarter enemies while keep this notetag disabled for less intelligent foes.
