So I created a fixed damage skill that works like using 1000 Needles from Final Fantasy where regardless of defence, the skill will do 1000 damage to the target. I managed to get it work using the Common Event for most part but I bumped into one problem, the skill target 'dead' actors and therefore completely skipping the turn and I was wondering how would I be able to make a check that re-rolls if it lands on a 'dead' un-targetable actor.

Heres what I made so far:
Skill: 1000 Needles
Status Change: Knockout [-] (I do this so that it doesn't appear as 'Miss' in battle]
Scope: The User
Common Event: 1000 Needles

Code:
Common Event: 1000 Needles
@>Control Variable: [0005: 1000 Needles] = Random No.(1...4)

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
one bad plugin combo later and one of my followers is moonwalking off the screen on his own... I didn't even more yet on the new map lol.
time for a new avatar :)
