Expiration States with Atoa acbs: error

[Noctis]

Yes, my dear friends. I need your wisdom again.
I found a pretty nice little script called Expiration States here in this forum. It makes a doom state ike in the final fantasy series where there is a turn count to die for a character. I wanted to make use of it and implemented it in a blank project with just Atoa acbs in it (only his battle sytem). Whenever doom is ready to kill the infected hero I get a error message on Game battler 2 line 223. I've underlined the line. I really dont understand why I get a error message on that point, maybe because the def remove_states_auto is rewritten or because the script is SDK and contradicts everything non SDK.


From Game_Battler 2    line 218-229
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
 # * Natural Removal of States (called up each turn)
 #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
 def remove_states_auto
   for i in @states_turn.keys.clone
    if @states_turn[i] > 0
       @states_turn[i] -= 1
     elsif rand(100) < $data_states[i].auto_release_prob
       remove_state(i)
     end
   end
 end

Any ideas?

Trump!
I mean BUMP!

Bump

Hrm.. Problem is the fact that it 'is' an SDK script. There is that and the author just went on a vacation last month or so. He does so for a while. He is the expert on that script and I believe any changes to 'un-SDK' it woul d require some extra rewirtes you might not like.

[Noctis]

Oh.. By rewrite do you mean a rewrite on the expiration state addon or the core script?
Is there any other non-SDK doom script for the RPG XP that i could test? I did only find that.

[DerVVulfman]

Non SDK? Not that I know. The feature requires a more modular version of Game Battler. That is to say, a version where methods like 'attack_effect' are broken down into smaller parts.

THAT BEING SAID........ You may find that within my RTAB with Extras demo (just look for RTAB in here), that I employ a system by Trickster entitled "Trickster's Bag Of Skill Effects". While it is an SDK script, it uses SDK 1.5 with no problem. In fact, I believe there is a rewrite within the RTAB demo of Trickter's script that has been Un-SDKed.
