In Battle: HP subtracts all damage at once, speed of exp bar + show damage amount

[thedudemister]

There are three things I would like to do but don't know where to make edits.

Where do I make it so that the HP bar subtracts all the damage done at once when damage is done?

Where can I make the Exp increase faster?

Is it possible to show on the Pokemon in battle the amount of damage that was done?

Thank you,

3-Yes, use @currenthp minus @endhp.

Thank you very much. I got the code to work and hp bar subtracts instantly and the exp bar is nice and fast. I am just having trouble with the last one, where do I put "@currenthp minus @endhp"?

Thank you,

I have tested it.
After defeating a wild Pokemon this message appears:

---------------------------

---------------------------
Exception: NameError

Thanks FL. Also me this script will be useful.

I got that too at first, you need to put a value here
"expspeed # exp speed here"

like this

expspeed=10 #exp speed here.

It should work now.

I am still unable to figure out where to put this @currenthp minus @endhp?

I can't believe that I forget the number in expspeed XD! I recommend to use 4.

I found a easier way to display the damage, in PokeBattle_Move, after line 'def pbEffectMessages(opponent)' add:

    if(opponent.damagestate.calcdamage>0) #test
      @battle.pbDisplayBrief(_INTL("{1} damage!",opponent.damagestate.calcdamage))
    end

    end

Thank you. It is working but is there a way to move the damage amount to show on top of the Pokemon's sprite instead of in the message section?

Thanks,

Make the damage pop up from pokémon sprite in parallel that battle run? You need to edit several parts to do this right and start the animation and stop it in right time.

Yes. So I guess its a lot of work then, could you maybe direct me to some kind of tutorial where I may be able to figure out how to do it? I tried searching for a tutorial on how to write scripts but have had no luck so far. I am looking for something like the websites that show you had to do CSS or html. All I have been able to figure out so far is basic editing like moving things and changing some text.

Thanks,

Um.... What?

Would'nt it be more efficient to just change

      if @currenthp<@endhp
        @currenthp+=1
      elsif @currenthp>@endhp
        @currenthp-=1
      end
      refresh
      @animatingHP=false if @currenthp==@endhp
    end

to

if @animatingHP
      @currenthp = @endhp
      @animatingHP=false
    end

You probably need to create a variable to put the damage number and put a update method in 'def pbGraphicsUpdate', something like:

if @damagenumber!=0
  do animation
  @damagenumber=0 if animation ended
end

I made a guide that show how simple scenes works in essentials http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=286554. I can't link here to others forums, so I can't post links to RGSS tutorials. Try to find on google. Note that to you make this damage pop up effect you needs a certain experience with programming.

    end

to

if @animatingHP
      @currenthp = @endhp
      @animatingHP=false
    end

For question 1: Yes! I only pasted a code that I made to my game a long time ago to HP bar speeds up.

Well maybe in the future I will do it. As of now I have no idea where I would start or what to do. I did a Google search for the tutorial found some right away. I wasn't sure what the coding was called so that why I could not find any before.

I am curious would it be more simple to have the damage show on the HP bar? For example: The bar would shake and show the damage that was done.

Thanks,
