A Simple Solution

If you tried the VABS demo, you may have noticed that if you got vored by an enemy, it may not eat you again.  In other words, a state that gets removed someone negates the ability to be added back on.  However, the state can be applied back to the target after the target moves.

...Adding @result.clear to the state manipulations now means states can be reapplied without either side having to move, thus voring is more frequent.  Because apparently @result stores states and negates re-application until it's cleared, and the default timing is mainly in the default battle system or when moving on the map.  An ABS does not have the same timing and it has taken me this long to realize what controls that timing.

Edit:  One of the checks that occurs when checking if the state can be added is state_removed?(), which accesses @result.  I will see if changing that will make things simpler.

Messing with the Messy

The original plan for the updated version of the ABS demo had been to reuse the labs.

Instead, I need to practice my mapping, so you could say that I'm going to try and make a game out of what I got so far.   Hopefully, I'll try to release the first demo when I get the tutorial wing done, though I'll try to aim for a hub and one or two areas.  I also developed an event room like every other dabbler to experiment with several movements and revive some old ones from previous games.

Anyway, features will be unveiled later, because now it is time for bed.

Also, this post has a nice title suited for this game and I think I have an idea how to animate it.

RPG Maker VX Ace Amiibo Support

Well, here's a script I've been working on.  It took quite a while to show this off because I had to make the scanner from scratch.



Disclaimer:  Despite the name, my Bowser Amiibo got bricked from the recent Switch update, so I recommend not using official Amiibos.  I may have to convert the code to MV as it could be possible and easier to scan these figures by phone.  Anyway, read more for the features in my Ace version and how to get the scanners for your own testing.
