I'm wondering if there is a way to have my characters perform their actions, such as attack or guard by pressing a specific button on the keyboard, instead of having to go through the menu and just press z.
For example, for someone to use attack in battle they press "Z" but to guard they press another button such as "D" and to open their skill list they would press "S" which then they could scroll through the numerous skills and select which skill they want to use by pressing "Z" to confirm the skill.

I would really like it to be transferable onto a controller, for example a Playstation controller so that pressing the cross would be attack (which originally would be "Z" on the keyboard); pressing square would be guard (which originally would be "D" on the keyboard); pressing triangle would open the skill list (which originally would be "S" on the keyboard) then pressing the cross would select the chosen skill and pressing circle would be cancel (which originally would be "X" on the keyboard) such as closing the skill list and going backwards in the commands.

I feel that this would make performing actions in a turn based battle a little quicker as it would allow the player to guard in the press of a specific button instead of having to scroll down on the list first, same goes for opening the skill list.

I would really appreciate the help, thank you in advance.

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.
