Yanfly CTB Plugin - Timed cast

[Nantas]

Hey there

I need for Yanfly's CTB Plugin a little extension.
In fact, I've searched long enough a way to do a casting time for some of my skills.

For example, I've three different levels of each elemental basic magic skill
The level one has no casting time;
The level two needs one turn to complete;
The level three needs three turns to complete.

If someone can make that, it would be extremly helpful for me, and for many makers out there I think
But maybe something like that has already been done, and then I've not searched long enough.

Thanks in advance,

Nantas

2 ways to do this without a new plugin that I know of.

1st, to delay a cast time, not based on turns, but just on speed, use in the skill tab, under Invocation: Speed. Set it to a negative number. The skill will be cast after that delay. I have set in my game 1 action to equal 1000 speed. So, a skill with speed of -1000 will delay the skill 1 full action, -500 will be delayed half an action, ect. Your game may use a different speed system, I like to keep mine simple.

2nd option, technically untested by me but I see no reason for it to fail, is to use cast times, found here:

This is the jump skill from FF4. You start the jump, disappear for 1 turn, then attack the next. Just remove some of the action sequence that makes you disappear (ie, remove the flying upward, dropping down, setting unselectable to true, ect.) and you've got yourself a casting time!

Hope this can help!

Thank you for answer
I will test the second option, I've not thought of it
But seems like it's a great idea
