New Troll Here! Ok so...

Greetings!

I am a long time lurker and first time registered poster! Great resources here! You guys rock!

So anyway, on to my question:

Is it possible to use a "timed button press" style combat system with RMXP? What I am describing is something similar to Mario and Luigi Super Star Saga where you press a button as the attack hits and it does extra damage or something. Is it possible to bring up a meter or a series of button combinations that must be pressed to do special moves? Would this work more easily with scripts or events? I apologize, I am a super noob as I have not had much time to create my own games, and have had to enjoy the games of others and reading about their creation due to work/class eating my time up!

I hope my question makes sense. I just want to make combat a bit more involved so that it doesnt feel too automatic. Thanks!

Dude I wanted thids ages ago but once I'd basically finished my game some guy PM'ed me to say he was making it... and he did.  He was zephren or something close to that, I'll try and find a link for you - it is of course a script for use in the DBS - a fully evented battle system is also obviously possible too.

First search result for timed hit battle... tut tut.

HAH! Thanks a ton! Of course it would be in the search results, I was searching for "combo battle systems" and all kinds of mess. Geez. Thanks much my friend! You sir, are a gentleman and a scholar!

I noticed the link is down for that but I'm sure somebody has it.  There is also a combo system (I dunno what it does though) if you search 'timed button press' like you mentioned in your first post - the one I linked you to was the 10th down that list :P.  I may have the script demo somewhere on my computer.  I'll look if you decide you want it.
