Rage and attack in the same turn

[Frogboy]

I'm trying to figure out a way to have a Rage skill not waste a turn. Typically, a standard Rage skill will take a turn to apply the Rage state and you're done. I'd like to apply the Rage state and attack the same turn. Assume the default battle system. Anyone know how to do this?

Thanks in advance!

With a common event you can use the Force Attack command. Attach that to your Rage skill and you do something like this.

if it is just about adding the state to the skill user while attacking, simply make the skill an attack skill and use damage coding to add a state to the skill user.
There is a topic on how to use the damage formula, I don't know the exact code for MV atm.

I went with SwiftSign's approach. It was super easy and did exactly what I was looking for. The character goes through the brief rage animation and then randomly attacks an enemy. Perfect! Thanks!

Your suggestion was great too, Andar. I always forget about being able to script right in the formula box. I'm almost positive that I'll use this technique for some things before I'm done with my game. Thank you as well!
