Turn Based Battle??

[TrapHole_2032]

Err...
Can someone give me a tutorial (or if you can't, just a .fla) about how to make turn based battles like in pokemon red/blue/yellow/gold/silver/crystal/diamond/ruby?
You know, when there are options like fight, item, run, and all that? And then you take turns to battle..

:cons:

Thanks before,

Just use a movieclip with buttons in it saying fight and stuff then when the button is pushed gotoAndPlay the movieclip thats over the attacking unit that blinks showing slash marks, on the last frame in that movieclip put the code that tells the unit to gotoAndPlay the scratch mark movieclip thats over your unit and also have it do the subtract code on the last frame of that. (longest run on scentence lol). Then on that same frame at the end of the scratch movieclip have it tell the box with the options to show back up if your unit and the attacker still have health above 0.
I dont think theirs a tutorial for this exact thing, but thats the basics.

(my game runs off the same thing sort of, a bit more advanced though, but same basic thing)

Awesome!

Yeah, all you really need to do is to make some kind of menu, and have each button play a different Movie Clip, which has a different damage algorythm...and have the opponent simply 'randomly' choose an attack to use. Not too hard to get the basic code down, the beauty is in the way you design it. Pokémon had a nice touch by making it look like you were standing at your Monster's shoulder when you were fighting.

Ilikepatapeters look at the AI sticky at the top of this forum, I rember seeing something about that in one of the links.

EDIT:: Ok I fixed the problem about when there's no potions you're stuck in the menu. All you had to do was create a new button and add a little code to it.
