Common Event for "Jump" Command

[Triforce]

Hi, I'm using RMVX, and I'm currently making an FFIV sequel (I already know about the Phone game coming out, this is set 116 years after FFIV), Anyways, I can already make the animation for him jumping, but how could I make it so he waits a turn, and then strikes?

Which battle system is this for?

 

[Triforce]

The Minimalistic side-view system.

Bump...

So you want the player to use a skill, jump up and wait 1 turn, then comes down and strikes?

Yes, I just renamed his skill to "Jump", and I know it needs a CE.

I'm not sure how you're going to get the graphic to disappear (I'm assuming he jumps out of the screen?), but if you want him to wait a turn and then attack, you can try this:

Make an event for each Troop with "Condition: Switch [Jump] == On." and set it to "Turn." Then put something like:

@>Conditional Branch: Variable [Jump] >= 1
  @>Force Action: Player, "Skill: Jump Attack"
  @>Control Variables: [Jump] = 0
  @>Control Switches: [Jump] = OFF
 : Else
  @>Control Variables: [Jump] += 1

Then make 2 skills, one for the jump and one for the landing attack (jump attack). On jump, make a common event turn on "Switch [Jump]" which will trigger the troops event.

To make the player get off the screen, you can maybe change his graphic to a blank one, and change it back when he comes down? I'm not sure if it will work for your battle system, though.

Good luck.
