Title: Real time battles using XP
Post by: MASTA NOHORN on January 29, 2008, 08:06:18 PM

I really need to learn how to program real-time battles - (ones that are not turn based). I use RPG maker XP. Any information on this or if it's possible would be awsome.

The easiest way would be to find a script. They should be easy to find by searching for 'rmxp scripts' in google. I have seen many scripts for real time battles.

If you want to program your own script for real time battles, that will be trickier. First, you're gonna need to learn Ruby. If this is what you plan to do, let me know. Though I don't know ruby, I know other langauges, and I could show you how to do something like it, but you would have to convert it to ruby code.

I'm willing to learn anything ^^ I think Im going to have to proram this myself though, because of the items system i plan on using: Theres the game screen and a permanant window beside it (you cant exit it, it's part of the border) displaying your items, with a tab you can click that shows eqipped items. If you click one of the items in your inventory, a sword for example, it will appear on your character in the game screen and transfer from your items tab to your equipped items tab, switching places with the previously equipped sword if there was one. You can do this in the middle of battle, as some weapons are better than others on different monsters... so would a pre-made code not allow e to do that?

Well maybe... If the scripts are add-ons to the default battle system, then there'll likely be scripts for both of those. As long as neither of the scripts do more than add a feature to the defualt battle system (or change it) you shouldn't have a problem.

Anyway, for the script, i'll get back to you with the script (or how it should work). The more I think about it, there are hundreds of ways to program something like this, but only a few will work correctly with the battle system in rmxp, so I want to look over the scripts a bit so I can make sure to get some information that will actually help you :)
