Simultaneous Player and enemy action

[C7A7L7V7I7N]

Hey everyone! I'm trying my hand at learning Javascript, as I've been unsucessful finding a plugin for the Battle system I have in mind.

Its a 1v1 Rock-paper-scissors type game. However, damage is dealt using a 6 skills (which deal various multiplier of damage against one another) and I plan to implement a combo-system on top of that at a later date.

A major hurdle I'm facing right now is making the game so that once an attack has been selected: both the player and enemy make their action and deal damage at the same time. I've been messing about with the system scripts for the past few days (trial and error). And have not been successful.

All I've really tried is looking through 'Game_Action.prototype.speed' and altering the values to 0. and looking at some strings/ functions which mention 'action'.
I have a feeling that the RMMV system may be scripted so that if both the Player and enemy's speed is equal: the player goes first.

I'm extremely new to Javascript. Though I have watched A LOT of tutorials, so I'm able to make some educated guesses to what I'm doing...!

Help will be much appreciated!!! ^_^

Doing things at the exact same time I don't think is possible in MV. You could seperate things into two states. Once the winner is revealed, winner deals damage.

The computer can never do two things at the same time unless you have them running on two different cores, and that is extremely difficult.
What is usually done is to pretend things happen at the same time, by waiting with deleting the first result display until long after the second result is displayed.

That however means that you can't complete the first skill sequence until the second one is processed, and that in turn will require a rewrite of the entire way skills are handled.

So while this is not impossible, it is difficult to achieve...

Thank you both Kino and Andar for your comments! ^_^

A somewhat work-around to what I'm trying to achieve: I have made all attack 2-turn attacks, meaning states can be applied to each character (before damage is dealt), to enable attacks to deal various damage, based on the opponent's choice! ^.^

Though, I'm facing a billion other problems while scripting! So this won't be my last post! xD

Thanks again! ^_^

If you need help, I'm around and good luck to you with your script!

I am wondering if there is any update on this problem.

I am wondering if there is any update on this problem.

I think you misunderstand the answers, because there is no problem to update, the original description and assumption were technically impossible and the OP was pointed to how to change his approach to one that can work.
