The sample project has a couple of examples of this working. The default block effect causes the guard motion when the shield animation pops up.

The Parry one uses the attack motion, and specifically calls for it using the motionRequested variable in the codebox.

//makes a melee swing 
motionRequested = "attack" 
value = Ramza.SB.make_damage_value.call(this, target, critical) 
value = this.applyBlockDamageModifier(target, value)

Make sure that the motion request is in quotes as above, so the system knows it's a string.

If you haven't modified it, the Thorns VSBattleCore effect doesn't have a special battler motion associated with it, so it should use the guard motion. I tested myself in my test project (and found a bug associated with states, btw) and it does show the guard motion with the default battlers.

The picture of your golem battler is larger than a normal one, is it a dragonbones battler or something similar? The process for requesting a motion for one of those might use a different function than I use for a default battler. You might also need to add more wait time for the motion to have time to trigger? Does it work with any normal battlers for you?

The battler I am using is a regular sprite sheet (3 frames)

so what I see, it works with the playable characters, but not with enemies..... I upped the SV frames from 12 to 30 for testing

and that is with the test project

Alright, so the issue is actually that there is no provision in the plugin for animated enemies to request a motion at all, so they never do. I believe this was a compatibility concern, as attempting to call a motion on an ordinary battler would cause a crash. I'll have to look into how to enable this for animated enemies, that might take me a bit, but I'm on it.

hey just checking in if there was any provision added to get the animated enemies to request a motion

Sorry, I haven't gotten a chance to look into it yet. It is in the pipeline, but it's a busy time of year right now.
