YOU SAVED HIS LITTLE LIFE FROM THE CRABBIE WABS!

[@av3ngers17]

so cute 😂

[@theactualrealpikachufans2018]

He actually has quite the hilarious humor, I actually laughed when the NPC guy said what he was scripted to say after the “Crabbie Wabs” were defeated. “You saved my little life from the crabbie wabs!!!”.

[@theactualrealpikachufans2018]

@LvlUpDesign You good sir are very hilarious with that, hopefully you plan on making a tutorial for how devs can make Boss Fights for big bosses for players to mess up and take down.

[@soxdye]

Watching this series inspired me to look into getting RPG Maker, turns out, it's on sale on Humble Bundle! Snagged that and now will be able to put these tutorials to use!

[@miken3425]

Moving right along! The progress keeps coming; nice job of piecing it all together

[@cdavidancell]

Thank you for the tutorial. Is there a way to have what troops show up in battles determined by something other than the region you are in? For example, if I wanted to make a nonlinear game where quests could be completed in a variety of orders, I might want to have certain troops appear based on how many quests had been completed.

[@statisticsdragon6553]

Have you ever figured out how to do that?

I'm watching all your videos, so I can refresh my self in rpgmaker. The only thing I can't find is a battle system like secret of mana. Other then that thank you for the easy explanation on using the system.

Your tutorials are so helpful

[@cjmiller1532]

Do you have a tutorial on Battle animations? Is there a way to do like the classic dragon Ball kamehameha or some kind of elemental beam (fire, ice thunder) that shots out of the character to the enemy? Plz and thank you

[@OfficialShiPaladin]

Hey, great video. Are you aware of a plugin for MZ that changes the combat to a deck based skills fight? (Slay the spire type)

[@KotCR]

Fight a Troop by variable is not useless. It's particularly useful for on-map random encounters in specific locations. You COULD instead do a gazillion fork conditions with if Variable = x fight troop ID x, but that's ALOT more extra coding over just generating a variable then fighting Enemy Troop by variable. 2 lines of event code instead of 20+ or whatever.

[@dmas7749]

i do that since my project is using on map encounters and doing them by common event is much more efficient than having to paste each encounter script to another

[@doublecheeseburger6398]

best tutorial guy eva!

[@kubixdaboi424]

great tutorial! though i have a question, how do you make so that the battle that happens after you talk to the npc only happens ONCE?

[@lazuliartz1296]

You need to add a switch. In the event editor, after the battle processing, add a "control switches function" and set it to on. Then, at the top of the editor you can add a second event page. On the left, under conditions, checkmark "switch" and add the switch in. That way, the new event page will be the one that triggers instead of the battle event page. This video explains it better than I can: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4fTZXyXoNaSbbs

[@brianproductions1134]

Im currently using the Nintendo Switch ver. of this game and was wondering how to make an enemy NPC go away after you are done battling it. Thanks

[@LvLUpDesign]

Hey Brian. After the battle use the event command (Self Switch) and turn (Self Switch A=On) then make a new event page which is empty and in the conditions, check the condition that self switch A = On

Hey, for some reason I have my Main Character and somehow two invisible copies of him on my team? There is only one actor and the name of the invisible teammates changes when I change the class.

[@BatistaInvests]

Can you implement a combat system like 'The Legend of Dragoon' addition hitting system?

[@Rawrlz]

Nice video man! Could you please show us how to add or remove party members as the game goes on? As in when someone joins your main character past certain storyline or dies and you're unable to use them anymore.

[@LvLUpDesign]

Sure thing man! Ill line that one up in the content train. ToOoT tOoOoT!

[@mrarmaggedon31415926]

does RPGMaker support any sort of placement system in battles? Not necessarily a grid, but some system where rank and file have an impact on accuracy, available targets, splash damage, and time-to-target?

[@WforWrath]

how do you get the guy to disappear after you win the battle

[@tailslover43]

Can you also explain to make a multiple phase fight? Like for final bosses? (Asking this before the purchase of the game)

[@DanielForMetal]

How can I set that when you finish a battle you can't repat it?

[@mrarmaggedon31415926]

how much of these options are customisable? For example if you want a completely different set of stats for a unit (say things like intellect, resolve, ammunition, etc), how easy is it to add those additional stats into the game?

It seems when I change the battle back ground on a specific enemy, it is changing the Background for all enemy's on the map.. Any idea how I could fix this ? NVM, its not even using what I pick, it seems to just be basing it off of what ground tile I am standing on.. Not sure why ?? ive even tried to change the battle background under Troop Conditions.. and still not showing what I have chosen.. :( Maybe just because its on the World map ??

Hmm, I don't know off the top of my head but I can have a look when I get home from work.

[@AnimalFacts411]

@@LvLUpDesign any luck with this one ?

[@LvLUpDesign]

From what I can gather. It's probably best to set a battle background for the level as opposed to the enemies. If you have some sort of special Bg for an enemy then change it in the event commands and then after the battle, change it back. That would probably be the better option.

In what way?

[@MrBlackDog155]

@@LvLUpDesign I think they're wondering if it's possible to add Actor/Character Generated sprites as enemies. I'm assuming they're also wondering how to animate those characters like Yanfly Animated Sideview Enemies(use spritesheet to replace monster image). If that is, in fact, what they are asking, I also am asking the same question. I've taken a stab at Akea Animated Battle System and it's just so complex. Basically, I want to Generate a Character and have it be a protagonist in battle. Would appreciate some feedback! Also, I really enjoy your videos!

Do you know how mz does surprise battles and ambush? Does it require a plugin? I'm sure its totally obvious but I've yet to discover it. Thanks again for taking the time to reply, it makes such a difference to us as students. I am really enjoying your content.

[@LvLUpDesign]

Hi SongoftheLute. From what I know, there isn't a feature in MZ that allows for it and I know that back in MV you needed a plug in for it. I don't know if ones been created yet though, and I'm yet to scour through the Visualstella plugins.

[@pokemaster374]

I'm having difficulty with this as the enemies in battle don't die and revive themselves in battle constantly. How do I fix that ?

[@LvLUpDesign]

Hey Redwarrior, one thing I would suggest in regards to the healing is under the enemy option, see if that enemy has any healing spells that it's usong on itself and delete them. As for HP, load up the foght and see how much damage your characters are doing to it. If they are doing likr 40 dmg each then make the HP of the enemy 350 or something. Does this help?

[@pokemaster374]

Yes, as I found the problem, somehow the knockout state's restriction wasn't acting correctly and that's why nobody died in combat
