Button Cast v1.10
by Gilgamar
Description
Adds the ability to cast skills instantly during active turn battle by pressing a button.
Now on GitHub!
Demo Project Zip File v1.10
Playable Demo v1.10
How it Works
- This plugin requires Yanfly's Core, Battle Engine, and ATB System plugins.
- Skills are bound to keys in actor notetags.
- While the actor's ATB meter is filling press an assigned key to cast a skill instantly.
Strategies
- Can enable instant cast by setting ATB Charge Gauge to 0 in Yanfly's ATB parameters.
- Set rubberband to false in ATB parameters and increase enemy agi for slower ATB buildup.
Progress
- Added automatic switching of system and button cast key bindings.
- Added MOBA mode as an extension script.
- Added skill passives which can be used to call a common event immediately upon button press.
- Passive skills do not interrupt ATB and can be used to charge MP/TP/ATB or anything you can get away with in a common event!
- Full targeting system implemented.
- Supports multi-actor button casting for full keyboard support minus important keys.
- Checks if user has learned skill, plays buzzer if not.
- Checks if user status prevents casting.
Future Plans
- Menu skill key assignments.
- True passive skills which will process immediately on every ATB tick without requiring button press for use in regenerative abilities.
- Feedback and suggestions appreciated!
Changelog
Terms of Use and Credits
- Free for commercial and non commercial use.
- Credit Gilgamar if you use this plugin.
- Credit Yanfly for ATB system.
Thanks
