RPG Maker Forums

So for a long time, I've been wanting to make this game I have all planned out on docs and everything. At first I decided to use Gamemaker Studio. (Which ended terribly because of a hard time figuring out how dialogue boxes work) so I turned to RPG Maker Vx Ace which is working out smoothly so far! Much easier for me to use and understand. Though my only problem is, I have no idea how to do these battle mechanics.


Basically, I want these mechanics like dance dance revolutions (Example of DDR ). So technically timed buttons! Though thats not all honestly.


I plan to have certain arrows do certain things.


"White - Just regular arrows. 


[SIZE=14.666666666666666px]Red - Damage to Bosses/Enemies[/SIZE]


[SIZE=14.666666666666666px]Green (From some Bosses/Enemies, helps player heal a little instead of using items) - Health[/SIZE]


[SIZE=14.666666666666666px]Black - Damage to self[/SIZE]


[SIZE=14.666666666666666px]Blue - Will switch around. Example: ↑ could turn into ↓ or ← to →. Will also work reversed. This will not work with wasd[/SIZE]


[SIZE=14.666666666666666px]Yellow - Will stun player, making the player miss many arrows for a bit until they are able to hit arrows again.[/SIZE]


[SIZE=14.666666666666666px]As game progress, arrows will go faster and the arrows will move around [/SIZE]


[SIZE=14.666666666666666px](Example of what the arrows could do later on, splitting up, moving, etc)[/SIZE]


[SIZE=14.666666666666666px]If successfully hit keys, you block attacks[/SIZE]


[SIZE=14.666666666666666px]If you miss keys, you get damaged"[/SIZE]


[SIZE=14.666666666666666px]After a bit of dodging/getting hit by the arrows, there will be breaks in between for the player to restore health or might want to flee. [/SIZE]


[SIZE=14.666666666666666px]I also have a sketch out of what the battle would look like![/SIZE]

[SIZE=14.666666666666666px]I don't think I mind if it matches up with the music? I mean I bet the players would mind but it's something I'm not really worried about honestly.[/SIZE]


[SIZE=14.666666666666666px]I have tried Galv's Timed Button Attacks script (Galvs Timed Button Attacks) but its not what I'm really looking for honestly.[/SIZE]


[SIZE=14.666666666666666px]I've looked around the forum but couldn't really find the help I needed for this project.[/SIZE]


[SIZE=14.666666666666666px]I know this seems a lot and I'm very nervous when it comes for asking help but I really want to achieve this goal of mine. I really hope I've explain this well and if not, I'll fix it up to a better understanding or try to explain better![/SIZE]


[SIZE=14.666666666666666px]If there is a script out there that does work for this then I might've missed it when looking around![/SIZE]
