your tutorials are very cool for everyone starting in chrono engine, especially since chrono is pretty overwhelming at first and has a bunch of hidden scripts
Dude i'm just at 3min, and for now it is the only tuto for Chrono engine who REALLY explain how to use in a such good way. (and i've seen many) So really thanks a lot for your work !
Is everything working ?! I have a problem , the enemy is attacking me but I can't attack , you know how to fix it, if Yes then please write me. I would be very grateful.@@christophe1584 (У тебя все работает ?! , у меня проблема , противник меня атакует но я не могу его атаковать , ты знаешь как это исправить, если да то пожалуйста напиши мне. Я буду очень благодарен.)
@@Подрывник-р1н Hello Vlad, sorry for late. I've don't use rpg maker from long time now ! Have you solved your problem or not yet ? If not i will try to check if i can help you.
If for some reason, you can't attack but the monster can, go to your settings plugins, check on chrono engine, and on "Tool Map Id" you put the value of the ID Map that you made for the Tool Map. Basically, go to the tool map you made, right click on the map, check properties, and look at the ID on the top left corner of the window If the ID is 17, you have to put 17 on the "Tool Map ID" (but just to be sure, delete the 001 ID map and make the tool map on that id) It was so easy.. Took me hours to find it, but now i'm happy 😹 Or just build your project from the chronos demo game, easier that way 😹😹
can you help me? i did everything as the video but when i press q there is no icon and when i press to equip it i get an error with message (cannot read property "id" of undefined ) EDIT - okay so i added ABS mode now it shows in q but when i press it diffrent sound comes out like it didnt work and i dont have weapon still...
I've watched through this entire series, and it's been such a great help! The only problem that I have is that my weapon attack button does nothing, and I have to use the item or skill buttons to attack. It would be okay to only attack with the item or skill buttons, but I think the fact that I can't attack with the attack button is why my combos aren't working, which is the real problem. I've tried everything I can think of. Can you (or anyone) please help? Thank you. EDIT - SOLVED! The problem was with the weapon types my character class could equip. A simple database error on my part, easily corrected. I spent hours trying to solve this, making and remaking events haha. Now I'm just shaking my head at myself. I hope maybe my experience helps someone in the same boat.
I doubt i'll ever get an answer but here I go. For some reason. When I hit q its just a blank area. When I click okay on it I get an error code: TypeError: Cannot read property id of undefined. I have done everything in this tutorial. I can't figure out why its not working. It worked when I customized it and made a weapon and put the tool id on the weapon and equipped the sword/bow/bombs like a normal weapon but I can't do it like you did. Edit: Figured it out by reading the comments. I put ABS Mode under the tool id in all note tags. I guess an update requires it.
For anyone confused If your pressing A and hes not swinging the sword its because you have to put Item Id : 1 inside the sword Item and sword Weapon note boxes in the database
I need some help, please! First of all thanks for the video. I did everything as showed, I also added the "Abs Mode" comment, but my character does not attack. Everything shows up if I open the Q menu and then select the item. But the character does not attack, there is no animation nor nothing... Anyone can help please??
How do you change position of the sword swings? Everything is working fine but when my character is facing towards me and I swing it looks like he’s swinging his sword in the air
Thanks for this great tutorial!!! I am sorry to ask but is it possible to change the position of the slash img($Tool_Sword01)? because I changed the character sprite and this img is overlaping with my character rather than appears in front of my character.
No idea if this is still monitored, but I followed this tutorial and THANK YOU for being so easy to follow. I'm in MZ and used FOSSIL (which is advertised as supporting the MOG plugins). I have everything up and running right until the end when I test the sword. The item shows, but then crashes with an error that reads, "Cannot read property 'length' of undefined." I saw in the comments about adding "abs mode" (no quotes) under the Tool Id notes in the item set up, but even with trying different capitalization, putting the abs mode above the tool id, and also adding it to the tool event, I keep getting the error. I'm hopeful you or someone on here can help. Thanks!
RPG Maker Forums are a friggin' BOON! For anybody else who runs into this problem, get a copy of Notepad++, open the chrono engine Js, go to line 11496 and just need to add a "?" at this line 11496 after animationSprites in the Mog_chronoengine.js before the ".length" verbiage. Fixed me right up!
when i press Q to open the item menu, nothing shows up, then when i click the OK button it comes up with Type Error "Cannot read property 'id' of undefined". Any idea how to fix this?
Yeah, I'm using 0.2b version. I just tried adding abs mode to the item's notebox but still getting the Id of undefined error, and the sword is still not showing in the Q menu. Here are some screenshots of what I've got, maybe i'm missing something? imgur.com/a/lY1FA
I can't find what's wrong. May I ask your tool map. In default is map ID 1. Check if the tool map and the map you use for tool map are the same. Then may I ask what is the version of you RPG Maker MV? I try 1.4 and 1.51 and they work. Finally, if it's ok, can you sent me the project? chunkennoemail@gmail.com
Is there a reason touch damage will only work if the movement route is set to towards player? Is there a way to change that so I can define custom routes and if the player is in the way they still take damage?
Thanks for all you Tutorials i really liked them and subed. :D But i have a question for the sword sprite sheet can i use an specific animation instead of the sprite or i can't. And if i can't is there a way for free or paid sprite sheets for the sword. Thanks for responding in advance:)
hey dude, a question do you have any links or do you know where I can get the chrono engine I'm trying to create an rpg game with other abs but they don't work thanks in advance
Thanks for helping. The only thing problem that I am running into with the creation of the sword item is the cannot read property 'id' of undefined. I followed your tutorial to the letter, but I am running into a problem. Can you help me?
@@ghoatchrist666 I suggest you try "abs mode" first, cause if you all do my way you must miss this since the plugin got updated, and a lot of people ask the same problem. If still cannot work, send me the project, chunkennoemail@gmail.com. Well, but I am busy now, so I cannot check until next Friday.
Literally the only two plugin's I needed to work together, this one and TerraxLighting, for my short project to be what I wanted it to be and they are incompatible.... something about the extra layer Terrax adds breaks this entire plugin.

can anyone help? im having a trouble when my actor get hit by a monster the damage pop up is shown in the buttom corner instead of in top of the actor cannot fix it
Hi, after I had watched your tutorial. Now, my character can equip the sword but cannot attack the enemy. Do you know how to solved this? Thanks for your tutorial.
88crabstation You mean you can equip and when you press "A" you really see the sprite of the tool event but no damage? If yes, that should be the damage formula, check if you set it properly. If you cannot see your tool event sprite, that may mean you connect you tool wrong, check your tool map ID in plugin parameters and check your database, make sure you link your item to right tool event. If still not work maybe you have other plugins conflict with chrono engine, turn off all the others and test it again. If all the above not work send me your project to me so I can check it for you.
I didnt have other plugin. I already checked but I still cannot solved the problem. So, I had send the file through your email. Thanks for helping. The file name is
First, you really make it wrong, "tool_item_id : 1" you put this in the note box in database item 6, you should use "Tool Id : 1". Second, the plugin got update, in latest one you need to add one more "Abs Mode" under "Tool Id : 1" in database.(remember without "", just the text) Finally, I suggest you watch tutorial more times cause you didn't realize how to connect item to a tool.(item is item in database; tool is event in tool map)
Now, I can see my item after press the 'q'. But when i press "a", it link back to my story mode. I don't want it to link back to the story mode so I change for the tool_item_id: 2. It didnt link to my story mode anymore but I still unable to use weapon. So, how i fix this?
88crabstation if it link to some event you don't want that means your tool map or event ID may be wrong, for how to use weapon just keep on my tutorial and you will learn.
Hi ..i just get the mog chrono engine ,I would like use only abs mode and delete other atb thing ,how can i process ? What can i off/delete ? I have try many test but nothing work for me ... someone can help me? I want do simple zelda like with the abs mode
Hey.. you can make a new Project and copy all folders and pluggins of chrono engine to the new project .. but you have to be careful you need also to copy the Tool Map, skills, items, enemies, add the note tags in the new project..
Shane-Michael Thompson There are too many probabilities you can't save, I guess the most popular one should be plugin conflict, close all the other plugin and test equipping skill then save, if this work that means you got plugin conflict.
it's a MV problem, but you don't need to worry cause someone write a plugin to fix that. raw.githubusercontent.com/Hudell/mv-plugins/master/OrangeCircularJson.js OrangeCircularJson.js by Hudell. Just use it as normal plugin and it should fix that "object too deep".

sebastien vauthier Well, I can't say what's wrong with just this, so first let me ask how many tutorial you have watched, if you just watched the first tutorial, I suggest you watch more. If you have finished all my tutorial about chrono engine, first, check your plugin list and disable all plugins other than chrono engine, then test it again, after that if you still can't fix it, send me your project, and I'll check.
the item will not equip. the hero and the enemy run around the screen but thats all it does. I followed your instructions exactly. please take this waste of time down and make a tutorial that actually works

yep, i set the first item in the database as a sword with the note "Tool Id : 1"
