Hexagon Grid for combat

[ic1025]

Is it possible in the new RPGMs? I want to make a game where the combat is turn based on a hexagon grid. Easiest example I can give is FFT but on a hexagon grid and based on the size/scope the situation calls for the battle map would be small/medium/large.

The short answer is yes.

The long answer is "there are no plugins specifically for that yet, so if you want it you'll have to either write one or pay someone else to."

Ok, wasn't sure if I should just try to use Unity or not. I was wondering about trying the Unite features.

The entire code for the engine is in the js folder of each project - so, technically speaking, anything is possible if you're sufficiently fluent in JavaScript and spend enough time and effort to code it.

However, this is very different from what RPG Maker is designed to do, so it would require a lot of work to create.

There are a variety of plugins intended to recreate a square-grid tactics game, and I have never heard of one that was feature complete. You may want to consider a game maker that is designed to make tactics games in the first place, as you would start off much closer to your end goal.

Do you think the upcoming Unite version would be easier to do it on?

No. The base structure of the engine, the kind of game it's designed to make, is the same.

The style of the assets may be a bit different, and the language used to code it is different, but it will be just as much work to undo what the game comes with and remake what you want.

Is it difficult to make a hexagon grid combat system with RMMZ?
I want it too. How much do I have to pay?

If you don't know how to write code and manipulate graphics in JavaScript, yes.

This is not the correct forum to get into that. You'll need to get enough posts to unlock the commissions forum, then you can post there asking coders how much they'd charge for this.

Also, we're not supposed to necro-post. Good luck with your project!

@ATT_Turan Thanks for your reply.

@ic1025
I signed up specifically for this forum and this is my first post. I can't find the rmmz hexagon mesh combat system plugin online.

I'm willing to pay for this Plugins. But I want the plug-in to be open source. If you and I idea the same way, we can make a connection.

This is not my native language, sorry machine translation.

I'm sorry, did you say Project Recruitment?​

"Hexagon movement" is something I've seen in board games like Scythe and Gloomhaven more than video games (although I guess both of those have video game adaptions now too). I don't think I've seen a RPG Maker plugin to replicate that.

I'd agree you're probably better off using another engine, maybe one specialized for board games?

I don't know if you are replying to me, I need a connection with:
King's Bounty: The Legend
Heroes of Might and Magic III
Similar combat system.

Yes, I don't see this plugin.

Yes, I don't see this plugin.

Because, as three people have said on this thread, no one has written it.

That's very different from what RPG Maker is designed to do.
