Is there a way to force the enemy to act first?

[liviticus]

Hi,

I'm just wondering if there is a way to force an enemy to act first in a given fight.

For example;
A boss buffs itself prior to the players being able to act.

I have played around with agility but I have yet to see that work in the combat preview?

Any help would be appreciated

Many thanks in advance.

"How do I ...?" questions go into the Support forum for the engine you are using. But you haven't stated what engine you're using and you don't have it in your profile. Please update that info, then the mods will be able to move it to the correct Support forum, and people can help you out.

Generally, whoever has the highest speed will go first, I think, and is some kind of average of the speed of each battler in the troop or party.

You can set a Force Action event to occur on Turn 0 in the Troop commands window, that should get something to happen as soon as the battle starts.

Thanks Shaz, I will endeavor to place my query in the correct section in future.

The question related to MV for the sake of reference.

Thanks Mystic_Enigma, I think I got confused by the turn 0 tool tip.

having that option officially instead of workarounds is one of the things suggested in the improvement board for MV, but it hasn't happened yet.

I've moved this thread to MV Support. Thank you.

If its justa buff, you could use:

The only drawback to auto passive states is that, in many cases, you can't remove them, so if it's a buff the enemy periodically reapplies to itself that the players are supposed to remove, there might be problems.
