Summary

Hi there, I've been on RPG MAKER MV for very little time and I was looking forward to implement some background animations during the battle event, something similar to this project: (alternatively, the project's source code can be downloaded here: https://github.com/gjtorikian/Earthbound-Battle-Backgrounds-JS) In a few words, this project manages to perform the battle background animations that are on the game Earthbound using a distortion effect. Interestingly, it was programmed using javascript.

Hi there,

I've been on RPG MAKER MV for very little time and I was looking forward to implement some background animations during the battle event, something similar to this project:

https://gjtorikian.github.io/Earthbound-Battle-Backgrounds-JS/

(alternatively, the project's source code can be downloaded here: https://github.com/gjtorikian/Earthbound-Battle-Backgrounds-JS)

In a few words, this project manages to perform the battle background animations that are on the game Earthbound using a distortion effect. Interestingly, it was programmed using javascript.

I am still trying to understand how this whole program works, but I was wondering if it would be possible use this code in order to program some plugin or script to create the animations, since it is written in javascript. I've searched around the web for some plugins that would handle some animation effects, but they were all from previous versions of RPGM (here is one for VX ACE that I've found by the way : http://www.atelier-rgss.com/RGSS/Battle/ACE_BAT06.html -  unfortunately the website is in portuguese, but maybe it worths the download...).

Anyway, I would like to try to code this out, but at the same time I don't have much experience on scripting and etc. Any tip or advice is welcome.
