Resolved: battle system

This was the original post
Ok so I"m sure many of us have played the old Zelda games where all combat was real time and you had the little heart bars and all that jazz... If not in the old Zelda games your sprite could attack other monsters without entering a battle screen... If that makes any sense...

So, my question is if a script for such a battle system exists, and if i does what would the sprite sheet look like? Would you have to add attack sprite to the sprite sheet for every character? I would imagine yes... What would the attack button be? I'm rather interested in adding this to my game so if anybody know for sure where I can find this script please let me know...

Also if you find a script for an hp bar, again, let me know

Last note, where do all of these people learn to script these things? I've found some real basic tutorials on scripting that show you how to script one or two things, but that still leaves me here, with every other option that you can script, not knowing how to do it... And again, if you find a good scripting tutorial let me know...

Thanks all, you've been wonderful amounts of help

Ok this battle system is exactly what I wanted, but there is too much other stuff. I don't know any scripting either and the way the guy explained it was way over my head. I wasn't sure how to add it too my game. I also didn't like the way the HUD looked... If there is another simpler script with better instructions that'd be loverly... Also if there is a scripting tutorial somewhere for something like this so I can edit the HUD display that would also be lovely... I looked at the scripting tutorials and 1/2 of them I can't access (not blocked the forum they're on just says I can't) and the ones I could left me with a very basic understanding of how to script with events... Once again It'd be nice if somebody could help me here...
 
This is beautiful thank you... I'll poke around with it some... I need to edit the HUD display and do some trial and error... Do you know how to add this to a RMXP project?
 
Copy all the scripts over :P
Documentation on making weapons and enemies is on the site
It's all event based making it easy...
you can also just look at the events in the demo...
To edit the HUD play around with the ADD-ON scripts they are the HUD
 
ok but where would I copy them too? like I said earlier I've almost no understanding of scripting what so ever... and i'm looking at the script now... there is thousands of lines...
I'm kinda a noob with scripting, but i'm trying to get better

Open the script editor (F11) then copy the scripts from the demo, go to your own project, scroll down a bit,
right click on ''Main'' and then paste.
Always place new scripts above main unless the script says otherwise.
 
ok... I think i'm going to use the original battle system... The second one is lovely but I lack the ability to understand Portuguese... I just have to start trial and error Thanks guys I think this is resolved
