Glad to see this still active, however I can't access the forum, it appears to have an IPS Driver Error

[lifeiaskedfor]

hey i was wondering is is possible to do random battles or do they have to be trigger by and event?

[Railkune]

@lifeiaskedfor Yes, it's possible. Just event it out. But it may take quite a while.

[lifeiaskedfor]

@Railkune hwo would i do it, i understand have to put the envents and such but how would i make it random?

[Railkune]

@lifeiaskedfor that... requires a looot of eventing knowledge. I do know it's possible because I can come up with the gest of it, but I would have to seriously sit and think about it lol.

[kingoresama]

@lifeiaskedfor  making the events move might help

[Railkune]

@kingoresama Actually... yea. That might be pretty cool. In a way, you could have it in affect like Chrono Trigger where the monsters on the screen at the time would activate into battle mode as one of the other monsters nearby get touched/triggered.

[silkyz1337]

Looks like what I would like to implement on my project. any way of adding a cost to the actions, then have that determine the order of battle? Example: I move for 3 count, attack for 2, making my total 5; the enemy attacks for 2 and moves for 2, for a total of 4. since the enemy's count is less then mine, he goes first in the combat

[lifeiaskedfor]

hey, is it possible to have characters that are like guest characters?

[Railkune]

@lifeiaskedfor Yes. Simply select the option in the Actor section of the database which would make them act on their own.

[TheCr0atoan]

I want to see if I can create a TRPG based off of a favorite tabletop game of mine, but I'm not sure how to do something to this effect...:P

[Railkune]

@TheCr0atoan Go for it. See, this is all scripted, so if you have any knowledge of scripting then I'm sure it'd be easier. However, even without scripting knowledge, I have friends who are able to create entire battle systems with pure eventing alone.

[TheCr0atoan]

@Railkune That's great :D I'm curious though, would scripting allow panels that characters move on be hexagon shaped??

[Railkune]

@TheCr0atoan Actually, I'm sure I've seen that done before. In fact, I know I have. You would need a character sets that faces in all 8 directions however, and the 8-direction movement script from what I can gather. Though, it may be easier than that.

[TheCr0atoan]

@Railkune I see...thanks for the tips! :D

[Railkune]

@TheCr0atoan No problem. Let me know if you have any other questions. I'll be glad to help you out. 

[SliverSlasher]

great job!



[Chaos333x]

cool how did you get the frog off chrono trigger he was my favorite character

[Railkune]

@Chaos333x Oh um, the guy who made the script got it. I'm sure it's just a character set though. Try looking around for it. Start with Google first though :3

[MrDimiga]

How might I find the person or persons the wrote this script.

[Railkune]

@MrDimiga Go to the link in the description and post a comment, or send a message to the creator of the thread.

[extrememonaXXX]

the problem with tactic style gameplay is its really time consuming lol .. playing this kind of games always makes me sleepy n bored.. unless ur into this type of battle system..

[KaiserVadin]

isn't this hard to script ?

[Railkune]

@KaiserVadin Well, as I'm not a scripter, I have no idea. I'm only showing this to the people that may be interested. xD

Really ,all I can do is make the game, and edit scipts some. But making them from scratch... lolno.

[LestrataGames]

This is such an incredible script ^_^ It makes my current project twice as cool. Most complex script I've ever seen though

[Railkune]

@LestrataGames Lol, yea. Actually, I think it's been far updated beyond this. You should check it out.

[LestrataGames]

@Railkune Yeah I'm using ver. 1.0 for my current project but for my sequel it will use the newest version (and sadly the last one)

[LilCoryOfficial]

I keep getting this error what should I do?

[gegoflare]

i mean like that /watch?v=53M8PwCgdis

[gegoflare]

I mean, you attack a monster in the Tactic BS and after that a normal battle starts

[gegoflare]

Is it possible to fuse this BS with the Normal like in the Game SMT: Devil Survivor?

[Railkune]

@gegoflare Yes, that's what it's made for really. You 'can' have a Final Fantasy Tactics game, or you can use it for only special battles which you want to require strategy involved. Also, I think it has been updated far past this.

[Dynakirby63]

Why don't you just take the script and put it in any other download link? I can't download it because it's not there.

[Railkune]

@Dynakirby63 Not my script. I'm just advertising it. I'll see if I can find the new link.

[Dynakirby63]

@Railkune Okay.

[Railkune]

@MultiSlim123 Um...okay let me see. Is it saying this in the download link? Or on the actual site? Because I can go to the site, I just haven't checked the download link.

[Railkune]

@MultiSlim123 ...Just click the link in the description...

[gusfilen]

is like dofus Battle  System

[OSDolphin]

I'm planning to use this in my game. You can ask what I want it to be like.

[Myoldnamesdontwork]

well of course this system is far far from being perfect. one of the reasons why is that is well it doesn't have any bonus stats on different terrain square. also it doesn't have any height variation meaning units from higher ground attack with higher damage. also it does have facing but it doesn't have any bonuses attack from behind. also it should have movement restriction on different terrain. yes you cannot travel on water in the game but your movement also need to be slowed down on forest.

[Railkune]

@Myoldnamesdontwork All of the things you just said can be done with events =P Every last one. This is still in the works too, as you said. I'll put up a more updated version later.

[Myoldnamesdontwork]

@Railkune teach me i need to know like...NOW! question1) so how do we have each tile gives specific stats. for ex i want all the tree tiles to give +1 def and -1 Movement square and -1 range to enemy who are attacking me while i sit on tree. How u do that???? question

[rexilia]

It has a major bug when playing in "TEAM MODE":

Once a character walked, you can press the cancel button. Then select the same character and it can move again!!!! OMG!!!

The bug also glitches with the atttack option. (You can attack several times in your turn if you just cancel and select same characterr again)

[Railkune]

Lol? You'd have to tell the creator. He should fix it, also make sure you have the latest version.

[rexilia]

I am using this!

[Railkune]

lol, sweet!

[Azuriyuu]

Actually, this system DOES have height variations if you use it in isometric mode. I don't know if isometric mode is in VX, though, I just know it's in XP.

[Railkune]

Good point. I never actually tried that out.

[Myoldnamesdontwork]

@Railkune and how do i modify range weapon's range depending on specific tiles that the attacker and the defender is on. basically like height variation but on 2D. the person on the mountain would get +1 range against Grass and 0 Range against tree. Tree/gress get 0 rage against Grass. -1 range against Tree and -2 range against mountain targets..how to do that?

[MetaSieg]

Really nice system.

[Railkune]

Yea, it is huh? Maybe you should try it one of these days. You might like it :D

[ThaSonOfHeaven]

I heard he's about to update it (: Or did he already...?

[Railkune]

No idea. Check out the site :D He may have already.

[PKPwnr]

I remeber when I tried this system. It was fun but took too long. Mabye good for puzzle-based RPGs, not fighting RPGs.

[Railkune]

It takes long depending on how you use it. If you are making a game similar to Final Fantasy Tactics then yea, it "should" take long. I wouldn't even use this system if you don't plan on making a good long drawn out game.

[Eythina]

They're like chess pieces XD

[Railkune]

LOL! XD

Yea, pretty much!

[megamarsonic]

Wow this is insane!

[Railkune]

Madness it is lol!

[nahor23]

nice script, it looks awesome! 5/5

[Railkune]

Thanks. Try it out. It might make Gubid happy :)

[DannyDMF2]

Oh wait I do have a question... do you have to have the enemies as a real sprite like a $blabla kind of sprite?

[Railkune]

Yep. You use the character sets. It does the rest lol :P

[DannyDMF2]

Wow that's amazing!

[Railkune]

Isn't it?

[ranma44]

almost like disgaea

[Railkune]

Yea, really close. Except without all the special effects :P

[bert456100]

Awesome! With this you could make a fire emblem fan game lol 5/5

[Railkune]

Exactly! lol

[fearmaster129]

wow cool script :D

[Railkune]

Remember, it's not mine. I'll put up the link in a bit.

[fearmaster129]

i know its not your dont worry

[Leonheart324]

This script is actually cpmpatible will most other battle systems including tankentai so you don't need any patches

[Railkune]

Beastly. I never actually tried. Ok then.

[luiishu535]

looks awesome! Where can I get this?

[Railkune]

I'll put up the link in a minute.

[Angel0Aerith]

looks great :D

[Railkune]

Thanks :D
