Dragonball Z: Legendary Super Warriors Card Battle System

Hello there, and thanks for dropping by my script request thread. A battle system is what I am requesting and I heard that they can be quite tricky to script. I will truly be thankful to whoever decides to tackle or make an attempt at this task. For those of you who are not familiar with the Gameboy Color game, I will list the details of the battle system and images that can make it easier for you. :)

The battle system begins with a simple image, but I can do that myself.

The battle begins, with each character's HP filling up (any color is fine as long as it able to be changed).

The words "Turn Change" are displayed at the bottom.

The word "Fast" can be seen in the top left corner undearneath the player's name. This means that this character is in the "Attack Phase."

The number of turns is displayed at the bottom, along with which type of phase it is (either attack or defense).

There are four different options you can choose from when in battle. "Limited" attacks, which can only be accessed when you have chosen the option to "Gather Power."

Because Gohan is not powered up, he cannot perform an attack within the Limited option.

"Joint" attacks can be used at any time, and can consist of any type of card.

Within the Joint option, you can choose "Beam" attacks. The beam is represented by a little image of a beam.

"Command" Attacks, which can be executed by entering the commands given on the screen. When a command attack is chosen, a time is given. The time varies on the location of the player, giving the player an advantage if they are closer (more time) or a disadvantage if they are farther away (less time).

Support cards are represented by a white capsule, as seen below. Support cards can be used to power up the player in strength (power, attack), ki (beam attacks and speed), or defense.

"Basic" is the third option, and it contains two choices. A 3 Stage attack, which is the lowest command attack (they go up to 6) and "Gather Power", which enables the player to perform Limited attacks.

Gather power is the second option in Basic.

The fourth is "Character", where the players character that was chosen is displayed. Information such as the name, life, attack, defense, ki, and speed are listed when the start button is pushed.

In the defense phase, the same options except for "Character" are available; however, now Basic has changed into two more choices, either "Guard" where the character stays in place, or "Movement."

There are four places the player can move to. The back row (top and bottom) boosts your guard up when attacks are executed at you. When on the ground, you have a beam guard, which means beam attacks targeted at you will do less. When in the air, you have a damage guard, meaning damage physical attacks will do less. Since the air is for damage and the ground is for beam, damage will do more on the ground, but less in the air, and vice-versa for beam attacks.

In the front row (top and bottom), your attack is boosted, and again depending on your location (air or ground) you have a certain guard (beam or damage).

When attacking, the enemies guard either "squares off", or they can use a card, such as "Avoid Beam" or "Endurance" to protect themselves from attacks. They can also use a support card.

http://img528.imageshack.us/img528/3359 ... supph6.png[/img]

Characters charge at their opponent after a command attack is executed, and if all commands are executed perfectly, the player attacks the enemy.

Before a command attack, the character spreads its arms out and then goes into block position for a short second.

Command attacks being entered.

Charging the enemy...

Ki Attacks:

The characters action is always seen as "Players name's attack" then their attack. It can be anything, a stage attack (command) beam or support card. Here, it is a beam.

http://img170.imageshack.us/img170/4885 ... supiz5.png[/img]

The character backs out, and...

http://img516.imageshack.us/img516/9929 ... supws5.png[/img]

Charges up...

http://img353.imageshack.us/img353/1812 ... supzy9.png[/img]

BAM!

http://img170.imageshack.us/img170/9689 ... supmn9.png[/img]

That's pretty much the battle system. At the end, a little message at the bottom is displayed saying "WIN!" or "LOSE!"

http://img516.imageshack.us/img516/6948 ... supzh0.png[/img]

http://img516.imageshack.us/img516/8529 ... supoq4.png[/img]

That's essentially the battle system in a nutshell. If that was confusing (and believe me, it is at first), I can record a video of myself playing a battle so it may be easier to see all at once. Thanks for reading my long topic, and I hope I was very helpful! :thumb:
