Wispmage 0 Posted October 15, 2020 (edited) Hey everyone. Anyone aware of a script that can implement a visual turn tracker (Hero 1, Monster 1, Hero 2, Monster 3, etc) to the battle screen? From what I understand, VX Ace doesn't compute turns in advance during battles, so this might be a big ask. That said, any help or advice would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Wispmage 0 Posted October 16, 2020 (edited) Thanks for suggesting this. While it is a turn tracker, I was thinking more something akin to the system in FFX, with the hero and enemy turn order being displayed ahead of their actual turn. I should've been more specific in my initial request. Edited October 16, 2020 by Wispmage Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coolie 148 Posted October 16, 2020 Oh, you're looking for a CTB (Conditional Turn Battle) system for battles. There are a few for VX Ace, if I'm remembering right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wispmage 0 Posted October 16, 2020 (edited) Yeah, I found Archeia's CTB suite of scripts. After a lot of experimentation I finally have them working together with my existing Victor scripts without getting any program-crashing errors. My issue now is that the Hero and Monsters aren't dealing any damage with their basic attacks. The battle log is saying that they're having no effect, and BattleLuna Popups are indicating that the strikes are "Failed" and "Null". Not sure what's causing it. I haven't looked at the CTB scripts in detail yet, so it's possible that I need to configure things. Any idea why that might be happening? EDIT 1: I just removed Yanfly's Battle Symphony and that has solved my no-damage issue. My primary concern now is that my Hero has three turns for every one turn that a Monster has. That, and I've got a black border around the battle screen. Seems like the Turn Order display in the upper left might be causing it. My script list is below. I can provide any additional screenshots or full scripts if need be. Any help or advice would be much appreciated! EDIT 2: I've got everything running pretty smoothly.
