Two party members ; dual skill help.

[Piratekon]

Hey guys, I have this side view battle system: http://rmvx.org/forums/index.php?topic=42117.0 & I watched a video that was using that battle system: http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=LvkDrSp2Cmk In the video they do a skill called Victory Slash, where both character go at the same time and slash the enemy. Anybody know how to do this?

Well this should be quite simple, use common event.

Victory Slash: Call common event: Actors 1 & 2 attack.
Then inside the common event put.
Force action: Actor 1 attack
Force action: Actor 2 attack

Don't know if you can do that in VX but if you can it should work.
EDIT:Sorry I thought this was General Support!  :blush:

I think this might be on the way to exactly what I'm looking for as well, thanks! Testing it out now!


Edit: Ah but what if the party changes later? I guess you could manually change the skill with an event...BUT...what if the player has control over the order of party members and moves actor 2 with actor 4 or something? Is there no way around that outside of disabling the party order command?

Oh - and where to put this line?

Victory Slash: Call common event: Actors 1 & 2 attack.

No the attack is victory slash, common event is a universal event, and actors 1 & 2 attack is the force action part.

I tried that, they don't attack at the same time, they just attack one after another, and then they keep attacking until the monster is dead.

I dunno, I set up the common event as the force action part. Labeled it victory slash, that's the meaning I took out of what 006 said. What happened to me is the initiating character would do a boomerang attack for some unknown reason and then he would follow up with a regular attack, followed by actor two doing a regular attack as well. However, there were not at the same time, just in succession. Also, it did not use the second actor's turn, I guess that would require a script.

Universal event? Any way you could break it down a bit more please? Thanks. Using VX

To do it at the same time you must have a battle type that allows two people to move at once.

Battle type? I'm sorry, I don't understand. You mean script? I'm using the sideview battle script currently.

 

[Devon Jacobs]

When you attack, your character runs towards the enemy right. Can you make another person move and attack before the other one comes back?

 

[Piratekon]

Reminder: the script in the video is the same battle script in the link to the forum post.

 

[Devon Jacobs]

Ok this cannot do two attacks at the same time because it does not have a turn wheel or attack timer. When a battle system is made where characters can attack one after another then it can be used. Otherwise you need a combine skill script made.

 

[Piratekon]

Would anybody be capable of creating a script allowing to do that, with the custom battle script?
