Battle Scripting

[Oren]

Me and a friend are making a Legend of Zelda clone with AGS, and I was wondering how to script a basic swordfight with a basic enemy.  It would be like the Link to the Past enemies, no complex moves, if you touch them you get hurt, etc.  It would make the game _a lot_ more interesting if he had a sword.  Thanks to whoever!

I don't think that AGS is good for that kind of game. I suggest you www.gamemaker.nl, as it does 2d games in general (although AGS is better at some points when it comes to adventure games)

have a read and see if it fits the bill at all

ive been using it a lot and it seems very reliable and very random in the out come..(no real skill involved of course but it could be added with a little imagination i think?)

OpenZelda is another option.
