CTB - A Final Fantasy X-like Battle System, Version 3.2

[Charlie Fleed]

I'm trying to make it so that when you use the skill, the target or the user gets 2 turns instead of 1. Not including the turn used to use the skill.

Uhm, the fastest way to do it I think would be a state. The skill casts the state on the actor, the state lasts exactly two turns and it resets the next_action_time to 0 at the end of the turn, thus granting the actor the next turn.

*script script script code code code*

I have just coded this for the next version and it works pretty well.
This way, however, wouldn't show the consecutive turns in the turns window.

1. Can you make multiple SA bars?
2. Is it possible to give the active character a free action (one to select the Stunt command so the play may then immediately select the action to be stunted.)
3. Can I use a one action multiplier (it would be really broken if after the first Stunt every action afterward was multiplied).
4. I looked through the formula for how the SA bar fills but it seems like it takes the maximum bar size into account so I can’t just make the bar shorter to make it fill faster. Any ideas?
5. I tried to change the position of the one SA bar in the demo but all I was able to do was make the bar thicker or thinner. I also have no idea how to make it vertical like I want it for the Stunt bar.
6. So far you have 3 methods to fill the SA bar, taking damage, doing damage, and healing allies with the last version. Is it possible to fill the SA bar from only an action of a particular CMD element (no matter the effect of damage or healing the skill does).

1) That would require to duplicate the code wherever superarts are involved, it is possible but it requires time and work. I'm adopting a policy to put myself into this trouble only for serious advanced projects... and first game doesn't smell good, I don't know you and maybe you're gonna do the best game ever, but I've seen many first games ending abandoned, let me be precautious.

2) Yes indeed. There's this get_next_turn method that can be called as I said a few posts ago.

3) Similarly to Yin's case, I think that a one-turn-lasting state would do the trick. The state however, should be supported by the BS in order to do the effect that you want, as it's not something you can obtain with regular states. The above mentioned policy applies here as well.

4) That's easy. Give me the formula you want.

5) Moving the bar -> simple, making it vertical -> policy :D
See where it says:
super_art_bar=Bar.new(actor_x,actor_y,80,3,self.contents)
?
the position is described by the first two args, try 'actor_x+5', 'actor_y-7'...

6) Adding SA points only when skills of a given category are used actually makes a good new feature for the future =) stay tuned for this one
