Hello, I'm editing Yanfly Engine Ace - Ace Battle Engine v1.22 script, I want it to be able to display a variety of "CRITICAL" messages, which would be picked at random, instead of having just one. I've tried many things to get it to work. Such as overriding the original output for :critical (it didn't work). Spoiler: failed scripting 1
Hello, I'm editing Yanfly Engine Ace - Ace Battle Engine v1.22 script, I want it to be able to display a variety of "CRITICAL" messages, which would be picked at random, instead of having just one.
I've tried many things to get it to work.
Such as overriding the original output for :critical (it didn't work).
#am meddling MIGRATING ONTO A SEPARATE SCRIPT IT DIDNT WORK ABORT
#class Game_Battler
#
# def criticalmessagerandomizer
# randomcritmsg = [1, 2, 3].sample
# if randomcritmsg = 1
# {:critical => "crit msg 1",}
# elsif randomcritmsg = 2
# {:critical => "crit msg 2",}
# else randomcritmsg = 3
# {:critical => "crit msg 3",}
# end
# end
#
#end
#done meddling
Then I tried to make the :critical method pick a random position from an array. However, it plainly ignores .sample and .shuffle commands, instead only picking a single position in the array. I've been all evening at it, and it's driving me insane. Help?
POPUP_SETTINGS ={
:offset => -24, # Height offset of a popup.
:fade => 12, # Fade rate for each popup.
:full => 90, # Frames before a popup fades.
:hp_dmg => "-%s ", # SprintF for HP damage.
:hp_heal => "+%s ", # SprintF for HP healing.
:mp_dmg => "-%s SP", # SprintF for MP damage.
:mp_heal => "+%s SP", # SprintF for MP healing.
:tp_dmg => "-%s TP", # SprintF for MP damage.
:tp_heal => "+%s TP", # SprintF for MP healing.
:drained => "PARASITIC", # Text display for draining HP/MP.
:critical => ["crit msg 1", "crit msg 2", "crit msg 3"].to_a.sample, #.to_a.shuffle.sample, #.shuffle.first, #.sample
:missed => "TRY AGAIN...", # Text display for missed attack.
:evaded => "HIT DENIED", # Text display for evaded attack.
:nulled => "POOR EFFORT", # Text display for nulled attack.
:failed => "EFFORTS IN VAIN", # Text display for a failed attack.
:add_state => "+%s", # SprintF for added states.
:rem_state => "-%s", # SprintF for removed states.
:dur_state => "%s", # SprintF for during states.
:ele_rates => true, # This will display elemental affinities. :ele_wait => 20, # This is how many frames will wait.
:weakpoint => "SUFFERING INFLICTED", # Appears if foe is weak to element.
:resistant => "FALLING FLAT", # Appears if foe is resistant to element.
:immune => "EFFORT NULLED", # Appears if foe is immune to element.
:absorbed => "SPONGED IN", # Appears if foe can absorb the element.
:add_buff => "+%s", # Appears when a positive buff is applied.
:add_debuff => "-%s", # Appears when a negative buff is applied.
} # Do not remove this.
Thanks very much in advance. Here's the full script from yanfly (unmodified).

I'm also using an addon called "Fix Critical", to well, make the message actually display.
This is the addon.
class Game_Battler
def make_damage_value(user, item)
game_battler_make_damage_value_abe(user, item)
rate = item_element_rate(user, item)
make_rate_popup(rate) unless $game_temp.evaluating
if @result.critical
text = YEA::BATTLE::POPUP_SETTINGS[:critical]
rules = "CRITICAL"
create_popup(text,rules)
end
end
end
