Combo Sequence

[Howelly123]

Hey, i'm using an ABS to create my RMXP game, and I want to be able to create a combo sequence for boss battles (e.g the only way to kill it is doing a combo sequence at the end). Can someone give me some info on how to create a combo sequence? Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks  :lol:

wait, what?

you mean like God of War and Kingdom Hearts 2?  or what?

Exactly like God of War

It would take a long event of conditional branches at set times.  Here's quick example I made in two seconds:


Parallel Process:

(put various player movements)
Show Picture: (picture of a key on a keyboard or something.  say, q)
Conditional Branch: L is being pressed
(more player stuff)
  Show Picture: (how about S this time)
    Conditional Branch: y is being pressed
      (player stuff)
  Else
  wait: 8 frames
  (player failing)


something like that.  if that looks like total madness, you can request it in my request thread on this same board.

Yeah, looks a bit tricky, I want to do WASD combo, like X,Triangle,Square,O

 

[Xephyr]

that's very do-able.  in rmxp wasd would translate to w-r, a-x, s-y, d-z

May sound like a stupid question but is it a button for Parallel Process or something like Comment

It's a type of event-- you select among them on the left side of the event itself.

Well, you could also code this into the events for the troops. In the database, you can set the events you would need so that you don't' have to make a parallel process. You would set the condition for that event to 'enemy has X% or less of HP left' the you would use the show picture like everyone else has said then just check to see if the buttons were pushed in the correct order and time. It's not really a hard system to code. If you don't think that you can do it, then either Xephyr or I can code it for you. Just say the word and one of us can have it done really quick..

Hope this helps!

He's using an ABS, though.  You might need to know which ABS he's using, and it might not use Troops at all.

ABS's don't use troops

hehe...whoops. totally skipped that. It's a good think we got people here who read. I would've just blown by that. Well, then, I can't really add to what's been said...
