Battle Processing

[Dargor]

I am making my own cbs but I don't know exactly how battles are made. Processes, management and all that is attached to the operation of a combat.

I'd like if someone could help me to figure out how it works.

Maybe looking into Scene_Battle would help.

The Default Battle system starts off with setting up a troop (either through event calling or random selection).

From there, the windows and spriteset are set up according to the $game_troop data that was set up, and the $game_party.actors, among other things.

From there, it's all one big loop of selecting choices and targets, and executing commands.

It's not a huge battle system, simple in fact, but knowing everything that happens in the DBS requires you to look in quite a bit of classes : Game_Battler / Enemy / Actor, Game_BattleAction, Game_Troop, Interpreter, Scene_Battle and Spriteset_Battle mostly.

I started mine as a simple menu then made it into a battle system.

Wow that makes a lot of things.
If you want to know more about my CBS, take a look at this.

I actually have a little script used to setup battle troops using event id and monster id.
How it works:
I have a class, IABS, and this class is updated in $scene_map using $iabs.update
In an event, i start a battle using $iabs.setup_battle(enemy) where enemy is an array.
For exemple:

enemy = []
enemy[0] = [6,10]
$iabs.start_battle(enemy)

It means that the first enemy would be event 6 and monster 10 from the database.

$iabs.start_battle(enemy) will transfer [6,10] to $game_map.event[6] abd $data_enemies[10]
So event 6 will be enemy 10.[/CODE]

After setting up the troop, i display Window_BattleStatus on the screen.
It all works fine but now i have to make the meat of the battle system. Commands, actions, ATB ect.
