Am I'm messing a step in my On Map ABS that I'm developing? help

[Nightshade]

I had the event set to activate on touch. that worked, but I ran into a problem, the player can attack the event, BUT could never get the event to attack back unless the player presses the action button.

Now If I switch the event trigger to activate on Active Button, Player does damage to event but the event always does damage to the player and always attacks back.

what am I messing?

How do you determine whether the player or the event attacked first? is it randomized? I couldn't really understand from your screenshots what was intended.

In any case, your mob events will most likely have to be parallel process events if you want a fully functioning ABS. Activation on touch could be okay if you're using a plugin that extends the range of activation, but even then your player won't be able to do much while the mob event is running.

Probably it's because your enemy is in the Action Button trigger. That makes the player only attack the enemy if he presses OK on the enemy but the enemy doesn't know that so it doesn't attack back. To make an ABS, your enemy has to have a detection system and a collision check system.

how does one do that exactly ?

Well, it's quite complicated and that battle system is not recommended for new users. Basically, you'll need a plugin for that. Just find a Detection plugin and a Collision plugin.

Thank you SangHendrix : ) ill look for one : ) i got Galv's Detection plugin but what about the collision one?

Youd have to do something like ChronoEngine where if the player is in a defined range of an enemy, the enemy turns toward the player and use an event spawner to spawn an attack event. Then check if the spawned event touches the player, do damage.

But if you're going with an ABS system you should just use one of the already made ones like ChronoEngine, QABS, Jak's, PhoenixKageDesu, etc.
