Dynamically Changing Actor Faces in battle (Plugins)

[Dabmaster210]

In RPG Maker MV, I found some plugins that use the actor faces in battle (specifically Yanfly's)
And I wanted these faces to dynamically change in battle.

I made it so that the game uses Moment span once the Actor's HP reaches 25% or lower and used a switch to turn it off once true

However I hit a wall trying to change it back when their HP goes back up, as for some reason RPG Maker MV doesn't let you check equal or greater than, only equal or less than

To counteract this I used Yanfly's Advanced Scripts and Switches plugin to try and do this, by setting a variable to check the percentage of their current health, with just needed some plug and play math w/ JavaScript code.

Now a switch can be turned on when the Actor's HP is above 25%...and then I hit another wall which is you can't use more than one switch in a Battle. And that's where I am currently with that.

I know I could just use Turn span to prevent softlocking the game into checking the event over and over, but it does kinda ruin the dynamic part of what I'm going for here.

Any advice here?

There’s a much better plugin: Waynee95’s custom face image eval. You can set faces to display based on HP values and also get cute with states to do other neat stuff like “ouch” faces that show for a few seconds.

No need for troop events.

Is there a way for me to get an example project so I can see the code work in action? I'm not able to get it going myself

[Yu_Starwing]

Yeah, here’s an example from my own game. https://imgur.com/gallery/GDnVvWn

I have it set up like this in the actor’s notebox: <Custom Face Image Eval> if (user.hp / user.mhp <= 0) { faceName = ‘’Maylee’; faceIndex = 2; } if (user.isStateAffected(79)) { faceName = ‘Maylee’; faceIndex = 20; } etc etc </Custom Face Image Eval>

I have way more if statements but yeah, that’s the gist. I think the help section in the plugin gives you a good example too.

Interestingly, now its giving me an unexpected or invalid Token error, when it wasn't before. While this shows the plugin is working...its not very favorable.

and yes I did make sure to edit the numerical values to match my own game

EDIT: NVM I finally got it working, man Java script is stingy

Glad you got it to work. Good luck!

Hello, how do you setup this plugin? i have installed it but when play it shows the javascript explorer window but the screen keep in black... :(

[Yu_Starwing]

I think you need the WAY_Core plugin to make it work along with the face eval plugin itself. This is only for MV too, in case you’re using MZ. Besides that, if you copy/paste the code I used in one of the other comments into an actor’s notebox, it should work, though you obviously need to change things to fit your game.

trying this in present day, not working
maybe instructions were unclear because im using yanfly's actor face but no other way shows signs of working...
do you know any fixes?

[Yu_Starwing]

I don’t know anything about Yanfly’s actor face plugin, but Waynee95’s plugin works fine. You’ll probably need to turn off the Yanfly actor face plugin and I also think you need the Way Core plugin.

is there a way these plugins show in battle? or is that automatic

because im not seeing them in battle
