how to edit the battle system in XP

[subzerorobby]

Hello! I am new here and i just have a couple questions. I think they should be pretty quick for you guys to answer. I tried searching and I couldn't find anything (I don't really know what to search...)

how do you edit a game's battle system? does this involve scripting?

I want to make a real time battle system for my game. I have a feeling that this might be hard, so if you could point me in the right direction to learn how to do this that would be great.

Thanks!  :smile:

Yes, this will involve scripting, unless you want to make an event-based battle system (which I really don't recommend). Probably the best thing for you to do is to look through the Scripts forum and find the battle system you like best that has been posted. I'm not going to take the time to post some links for you, just look through the Submitted Scripts forum for any Battle Systems, or use the Search feature.

okay thanks

Ya, i actually did look through the scripts and i found a couple that sound interesting. But i don't know how to insert them.

could you please explain how to do this?

You open the script editor [F11], scroll down until you see Main.
Then right click on Main and click Insert.
It will open a new blank page where you can paste the script you need.

i mean not as complex as that, but you get the idea. kinda like Super Smash Bros. or something

Kind of like Swordcraft Story. Yes it is possible, anything is possible. But before I continue to get your hopes up. It would take a lot of work both graphically and scripting wise. All the animations achievable when in a fight. Walk, run, attack, jump. Especially so if you have more than one kind of attack, or weapon. And then the scripting. That would take quite a bit of time and devotion to complete.

awesome! as long as its possible, I am definitely willing to make it.

i am not worried about the graphics. that stuff won't be hard for me. i just need to learn how to script. i suppose something like that would not be easy to make for a scripting newbie, but if i am devoted to it i might be able to pull if off

if anyone has any resources or tutorials they can share with me that would show me the commands i need that would be awesome!

I admire your staying the course attitude. And for that I wish you luck in your endeavour.

RGSS Tutorials
For a quick lookup of methods and classes in Ruby.

I don't know of any specific guides to look at that deal with your situation. However give a look or two at a custom battle script and you should be ahead of the curve. And you can always ask for help in the RGSS Support forum if you get stuck. Preferably though don't come there with empty pockets. Have something to show, explain what you've tried, where you can't figure out where you're going wrong, sort of thing. We love to help people like that. But if you're truly stuck we'll do our best as well.
