Does anyone know where I can find instructions for a good event ABS?

Because I deperatley need it for my game. All scripts that have what I want often have so much other things that defeats the purpose. All i want is something that when a button is pressed, it deals damage to an enemy, and supports guns. Unfortunatley, that's pretty freaking hard to find.I found behemths ABS script, but it has too many un needed features. I just need something simple, and I think an event abs would be the easiest way to go. Can someone please help me? I'm using XP.
 
Well, there is this.

or this.

But IMO, doing a ABS (or any CBS for that mather) solely with events is just stupid. You will need like 5000 conditionals to check every freaking kind of attack/movement/contact/whatever that are just copy-paste for every enemy and you need to go trough all of them, slowly clicking trough them just to change the number of the variable and such - utter waste of time. Well, it can't be that bad if you only have like 2 players and 3 enemies, but for most game, you have like 4 players (out of 8 total) with up to 6 enemies, not to mention that an ABS has like 50 monsters on the map...

I'm not saying script your whole CBS, that would be useless. But just by learning very-basic programming (variables with arrays and for.. loops) you can save a drastic amount of time. Without having to worry about draw bitmap and those stuff.

But unfortunatly, these are the kind of things you will need to learn yourself...any battle system other then the basic one is rather hard to modify it to your needs and the varied kinds of features/special battles you will want to have - unless you made it for your needs.
