If the best Scripters came together, this can happen! CT CBS

I know what you are all thinking, OMG THINK OF ALL THE CT FANGAMES!!!! But if this awesome battle system was made, it would prove useful for many, many people.

I am of course speaking of the Chrono Trigger battle system, a revolutionary system!

For those who don't know, this battle system is an ATB battle system, like FF6 and other games, but takes place on the map- that is just the basics of it though. The enemies are seen onscreen and when touched activates the battle- the player sprites jump back into battle stance and the battle window appears. The enemies move around, and certain skills affect grouped enemies, when they're are close together. Some skills are also combos, where when two player's ATB gauge is full, then a 'Dual Tech' is selected they both attack and lose MP accordingly.
I know this is difficult, but if it is broken up it would seem easier. Essentially it is a 'Map as Battleback' script- where the current map area seen is captured and used as a battleback. It is an 'ATB Script' which are scattered throughout this communit It is a 'Combined Skills' script, for the Dual Techs, and finally it is an 'Animated battlers' script.

You don't have to make this for me, I am just drawing attention to the system and how it can be broken down into smaller chunks!

Just for reference, here are some screenies of the battle in-game

problem isnt the script. will require so much art for people to use. and special mapping that lets people fight instead of super clutter. and all sorts of customizations and instructions as require reading. sure itd be a great script but no one would ever use because of those

I want to get into scripting myself but he's right...I'm not saying this isn't a bad idea,what I'm saying is it wouldn't be a script but alot of customisation but if someone did do this they would release a demo not a script

well, there's no need to "the best Scripters came together" to do this, since someone *already* done it alone...
BUT the system isn't avaliable for other ppl.

But if someone did this, anyone can do.

I'm already have an idea of how do this, but my priority now is my CBS, then i will work in my game projetc.

If someone else don't do this soon, i'm sure that i going to do this.
