Hi all...I'm feeling kind of frustrated over this, because I know this is something other people have inquired about, but all of the threads I've found in searching either didn't get resolved or don't achieve what I want.
I want to run an event (or execute Javascript) during an attack before the critical hit resolves. The specific goal is to have the acting party member move forward, have a dramatic fly-in picture pop up, then they swing their weapon and deal the critical hit.
I tried the Bobstah plugin for running an event on a critical hit, but that happens after the attack is resolved.
I tried using Yanfly Action Sequencing for it, but that doesn't seem able to know whether the attack critically hit until after the "action effect" command, which is also where the damage is displayed.
The closest I've come is to put the event on autorun with a switch condition, and turn the switch on in the damage formula if it's a critical hit, but that displays simultaneously with the attack animation and damage pop-up, as it doesn't know there's an event it should wait to finish (this is probably better than nothing).
I was also able to get that result using the Yanfly Damage Core steps, calling the event inside of the conditional where it determines the critical hit multiplier.
So...is there a way to achieve the effect I want? Have it run the event and pause the attack process until it's finished?

That is ok. I know the rest of the Actor 3 Set...
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.
