Is there anyway to change the battle system without scrips or plug ins

[oofermansa]

Hi I am relatively new I have been working on my game for years now but with covid I have more time than ever. Anyway I currently cannot afford the $70 for the full version of Rpg maker vx ace so Im just using the lite version. Ive been trying to change the battle system to be side POV and have made some progress but I can only find so many work arounds. My main question is, is it possible to change the enemy animation without going into scripts or using plug ins? The reason for no plug ins or scripts is because in order to edit scripts you need to have the paid version.

change the enemy animation

Which animation is that? You can specify what skills the enemies use and change the animation for that.

I'm also confused if you've been working on your game for years but still have the lite version. VX Ace has gone on sale many times. With prices as low as $8

yes and no

it is possible to event a completely different battlesystem, but that requires complex eventing and might again go to the limits of AceLite.
It CAN be done, but if you need to get everything in a single event instead of splitting into common events then the event becomes very long and very complex.

as for animations - the only animations the default engine knows are the skill animations, and those can be selected in the skill tab and changed on the animations tab.

One suggestion:

RPG Maker VX Ace - Info

isthereanydeal.com

if you wait long enough, Ace gets very cheap several times a year.
MV and MZ also have their sales, but as those are newer they don't go as low as Ace sometimes goes

Im very off and on with the project and I usually miss the sales because I never know when they are present.

Do you know when it goes on sale on steam

on sale on steam

whenever it is on sale here, it is on sale on steam. You missed the Halloween sale so the next will likely be christmas holidays.

no, that is why I gave you the link to a website that watches everywhere for sales - not only steam but also multiple steam reseller like humble bundle. I think you can even register there to be informed of sales.
