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!

Plugin Parameters

There are Plugin Parameters that you may configure for this plugin.

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:

• Battle Engine Core
• Action Sequence Pack 1
• Action Sequence Pack 2
• Action Sequence Pack 3

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:

• Battle Impact

Action Sequences

These are action sequences that you can use with this plugin. Action Sequences will require Yanfly's Battle Engine Core to work.

Action Sequences - ala Melody

Battle Engine Core includes Yanfly Engine Melody's Battle Engine system, where each individual aspect of the skill and item effects can be controlled to a degree. These are called Action Sequences, where each command in the action sequence causes the game to perform a distinct individual action.

Each skill and item consists of five different action sequences. They are as follows:

1. Setup Actions

They prepare the active battler before carrying out the bulk of the action

and its individual effects. Usually what you see here are things such as the active battler moving forward a bit, unsheathing their weapon, etc. This step will occur before the active battler expends their skill or item costs.

2. Whole Actions

These actions will affect all of the targets simultaneously. Although this

section does not need to be used, most actions will use this for displaying animations upon all enemies. This step occurs after skill and item costs.

3. Target Actions

This section will affect all of the targets individually. Used primarily

for physical attacks that will deliver more personal forms of damage. Actions that occur here will not affect other targets unless specifically ordered to do so otherwise.

4. Follow Actions

This section will dedicate towards cleanup work after the individual

targeting actions. Here, it'll do things such as removing immortal flags, start up common events, and more.

5. Finish Actions

This section will have the active battler close up the action sequence.

Usually stuff like running waits and holds at the last minute for skills and items, moving back to place, and others.

Now that you know each of the five steps each action sequence goes through, here's the tags you can insert inside of skills and items. Pay attention to each tag name.

1. <setup action>
    action list
    action list
   </setup action>

2. <whole action>
    action list  
    action list  
   </whole action>

3. <target action>
    action list
    action list
   </target action>

4. <follow action>
    action list
    action list
   </follow action>

5. <finish action>
    action list
    action list
   </finish action>

They will do their own respective action sets. The methods to insert for the action list can be found below in the core of the Help Manual.

Furthermore, to prevent overflooding every single one of your database item's noteboxes with action sequence lists, there's a shortcut you can take to copy all of the setup actions, whole actions, target actions, follow actions, and finish actions with just one line.

<action copy: x:y>

Replace x with "item" or "skill" to set the type for the action list code to directly copy. The integer y is then the ID assigned for that particular object type. For example, to copy 45th skill's action sequences, the code would be <action copy: skill:45> for anything that will accept these action codes. If you do use this notetag, it will take priority over any custom that you've placed in the notebox.

Target Typing

You may notice that in some of the actions below will say "refer to target typing" which is this section right here. Here's a quick run down on the various targets you may select.
