Summary

Hey all! So I'm using Yanfly's Battle Engine Core, and I want the characters to step forward during their turn, and also to "flinch" when they take damage. This is available by default in Yanfly's script by setting the variables "Step Distance" and "Flinch Distance" in the plugin manager. However, when I put values in here, it doesn't do anything.

Hey all! So I'm using Yanfly's Battle Engine Core, and I want the characters to step forward during their turn, and also to "flinch" when they take damage.


This is available by default in Yanfly's script by setting the variables "Step Distance" and "Flinch Distance" in the plugin manager. However, when I put values in here, it doesn't do anything. Looking into the script, sure enough, it specifies that it only applies for Sideview Battles (see attached) and I'm using front view battle with sprites (as seen in the attached screenshot).


So my request should be fairly simple: I want to be able to use the step and flinch functions in front view battle system, and have them move up and down (on the screen) instead of left to right. I know this probably is as simple as changing some X's into Y's and commenting out some of the lines that say   if (!$gameSystem.isSideView()) ...but I'm not a scripter so I could be wrong


Please let me know what possible solutions there are here. Thank you!
