Challange: RPG Battle System

Ive been planing on a map with one for quite a while and i was wondering what the best way to make a battle system is. Perhaps one of u guys can figure out a way. Im not just looking for a straightforward ''move units to arena to fight other units'' type of thing, im looking for a more unique battle system if its possable

thanks :gsmile:

Here's a wacky thought: remove attacks and have everything based around spells (with modifications made to cooldowns, naturally). Going into arenas to fight monsters is pointless and tacky.

thats a great idea man, ill defently think about it... see how it works


keep em comming guys

I don't know what kind of battle system you might mean, but I wont be using the triggers in this unfinished map of mine and you're more than welcome to look at them, or use them, or spit at them. Whichever you fancy. :gsmile: (I have removed any music for file size)

Um, you do realize that you didn't post a map speaker, right? Anwho, if you think you're advanced, check out Ari's Final Fantasy Tactics demo, in the retail map downloads. Best WC3 system we'll probably ever see.

If it doesn't have dancing moogles, it should not be labeled Final Fantasy.

AND! dont forget the chocobos!

Ari's map doesn't have dancing moogles, but it isn't labled Final Fantasy Tactics. It's called Warcraft Tactics, and it's BASED ON Final Fantasy Tactics Besides, moogles aren't the only thing that make a Final Fantasy game. Unless I'm mistaken, moogles only appear in FF3, FF4, FF5, FF6, FF9, FFT, and a couple of Lulu's dolls in FF10. Did I miss any? Whatever the point is moogles weren't even in the first game and that's the classic video game of all time :P

Same applies for chocobos. They didn't appear in all the games either :P

Woah, too busy correcting your moogle and chocobo complaints, forgot to answer about the battle system. It would be possible to create an extremely advanced battle system, depending on what kind of system you would like. It's too much work for someone to just make and then post, so if you wanna see a battle system then come up with all the specifics and maybe an experience trigger could help you out.

What'd be cool is a custom spell or combo system. Like, a player enters in a series of text messages or button combos, and then they get some sort of spell or something... like a temporary boost in agility, or some sweet looking custom spell. You could have a hundred of those in there ^^

Button combos would be a nice feature = ). I'd say custom text too, but I think people would be annoyed by that too much, having to type out 2 lines of text, and messing up one letter or something = P. :D
