Timed Attack Core
Version 1.23
SumRndmDde


This Plugin adds a system which forces the user to time certain inputs
to preform actions during battle.

Using this Plugin, you can add a variety of "Timed Attacks" by
manipulating existing ones or adding more using extension Plugins.

By itself, this Plugin adds one Timed Attack: Default Timed Attack.

It is based off of the Timed Attack system from Undertale.


==========================================================================
How to Customize Skill's Damage/Effect from Timed Attack
==========================================================================

Use $gameTemp.tas_power to have the power affect the skill.
This value will be a value from 0 to 1 depending on how close the
"Timed Attack" was to being perfect.

For example:
(a.atk4 - b.def2)($gameTemp.tas_power)

In that example, getting a perfect hit in the "Timed Attack" would result
in full damage, and getting any besides perfect would give only a percent
of the full damage.


==========================================================================
Background Image (Default Timed Attack)
==========================================================================

For the Default Timed Attack, you want a background image that will
cover the entire window, preferably 816x144, though it could be different
depending on the size of your screen.

Place the image in /img/SumRndmDde/tas/
It should be named: DefaultBackground.png


==========================================================================
How to Set a Skill to Use a Timed Attack
==========================================================================

Use the Notetag:

<Timed Attack: default>
<End Timed Attack>

Setting those in a Skill's notebox will activate the "Timed Attack System"
for that Skill.

The part that says "default" can be changed to have other types of "Timed
Attacks" be used.


==========================================================================
Default Timed Attack Properties
==========================================================================

You can manipulate the properties of each Timed Attack by adding them
in the Notetags. For example:

<Timed Attack: default>
Speed: 15
Color: #00FFFF
Outline Color: black
<End Timed Attack>

As you can see, there are a couple of factors you can use to even make one
individual Timed Attack different for each Skill it is used with.


Here are all the properties for Default Timed Attack:

Sound Effect: (Input filename of Sound Effect in /audio/se/)
Background Image: (Input filename of for in /img/SumRndmDde/tas/)
Cursor Image: (Input filename of for in /img/SumRndmDde/tas/)
Window Opacity: (Input a Number from 0 to 255)
Target Location: (Input Number or JavaScript eval)
Repeat Type: (Input one of the following: None, Repeat, Reverse)
Speed: (Input a Positive Number or JavaScript Formula)
Main Color: (Input a JavaScript or HTML Color)
Shape: (Input "Rectangle" or "Oval")
Width: (Input a Positive Number)
Outline Color: (Input a JavaScript or HTML Color)
Outline Size: (Input a Positive Number)
Direction: (Input "Right", "Left", or "Random")
Flash Rate: (Input a Positive Number)

The JavaScript Formula can use 'f' to represent "Frame Count".
Leave blank to use rectangle or circle image
