Introduction

This script displays who's turn is next in a battle, based on the battlers attack speed. Exactly like in FF10 for those who have played this game.

Dude wow!

Does it work exactly like Final Fantasy X?

Now you just need to do the battle algorithms and it'd be set!

Request... can you make it so that the window only appear during the command input phase of the battle.. I'm using a sideview CBS and it obstructs the battle view... great script btw...

Great script but it would be nice if window height and opacity could be added to the customisation module.
Also if it showed actions for the next turn as well as the current turn that would be useful as well.

@NunoAle
Yes it will.

@iceplosion
I have added the opacity and height options. The height is determined bu the number of battlers visible at the same time in the window.

@van helblaze 
Fixed

@Xemnas13
Done.

WOOOOO! Thanks Dargor, this script owns!
lol, i feel so cool being credited, Dargor, you're like a hero dude.
But, do you think it could be so that when a character executes a move, it is done right away, so that the character might have several moves in row (depending on agi)?
Love it, if this were to happen! Thanks again Dargor

Edit: I think this means the one with the most agi goes first in battle

I'm curious, would this happen to be compatible with the RPG Tankentai battle system?

EDIT: Never mind...just saw J4iru5's script request.:) This should be really great, (not at my home computer, so can't try it out) considering I'm also using the RPG Tankentai battle system.

Just one question, what does WLH stand for in the script?  (Trying to mod this a bit to get it more to my tastes, I can get it the way I want fine, just was wondering what it stood for, Window_length_height?)

Dargor, lets say I wanted to make the faces horizontal, I've already hacked it up so it works like that perfect, only thing is the box that shows the current selection, sort of like a show_choice box or w/e.  How would I get it to resize the thing to go horizontal and only size wide instead of being the entire width and only 20 high?
