Something's wrong with battles? I think?

When I go into battle, I can't select Guard or Attack, leaving me with only Items, Special Attacks, and Magic (Skills). It's never done this before. Does anyone know why? The image I attached shows exactly what I mean.

You either are affected by a state that seals attack, or have a script that overwrites the default so you cannot attack. To test the first add a recover all event somehwere, activate it, and see if it goes away. If it does, you had a state that sealed your attack.

If that does not fix it, then you either 1) sealed attack with your equipment (check all items you have equipped in the database) or 2) have a script that got rid of the attack command.

Have you by chance changed the first and second skill of the database?

Wait, that affects it? Because I did. Oops.

Yes. The "Attack" command always defaults to whatever's at skill slot 1 in your database.

So if you don't have the mana or whatever requirement to do skill 1, I suppose it'd grey it out.

The engine uses the 1st and 2nd skill in the database for battles!

Thanks! I fixed it!

I'd better look at my own project, I think I may have done this too.

Just saved myself a lot of heartache for the future.
