multiple attacks in the battle system code.

I just want a little bit of advice. I once figured this out on my own. But its been a few years, I lost the code, and can't seam to remember how the hell I did it and the battle system code is full of bloody unintelligible comments as well as code.
I want to allow the players to make multiple attacks in a round (by pressing a few specific keys) based on the amount of a stat I already added successfully. All after the character has selected the target. Most of what I have tried has put the game into an infinite loop where nothing happens after I select the creature
The method make_basic_action_result() seams to be where I should focus my time. But still I mostly have the problem of freezing the battle system with my loop.

So whats your peoples ideas?

Thanks.

Maybe you should try saying how exactly it calculates the hits and stuff, and it would be easier to understand.

Well I'm going to have it so after the user selects the enemy, the battle system goes into a state that looks for 3 commands each determining the attack strength. When a key is pressed an a certain amount of stamina is subtracted until it equals zero and the attack animation runs while damage is applied. Then the next free actor can go next and do the same.

I already have given game actors stamina and a variable that will hold the current command as a string three letters long that the method game_battler.attack_effect takes into account.
