Errr...uploading and showing an image from facebook is generally not a good idea. People who aren't logged in, or who don't have accounts can't see it.


And yeah, it seems very possible.

As far as I can discern from this lovingly crafted and detailed flowchart, what you are describing is basically a standard turn-based (J)RPG combat system. Pick a character, pick an action, pick a target, have the game do some stuff depending on the selections.

To answer your question: No. It's not. You'd *think* it would be easy to implement this - especially as many, many game developers have already done this before, on platforms much less powerful and much less convenient to use than AGS - but you'd be wrong. It is a little-known fact, but every single game that seems to be implementing this combat system is actually not a computer game at all. Rather, the "game cartridges" and "CDs" and "DVDs" and other so-called mediums contain a population of genetically engineered people - minature men and women - who are enslaved and forced to enact playfights on the whim of their overlords. This is, of course, excessively cruel - but how would one implement such a sophisticated combat system, if not for this method? You can't make an omelette without breaking some eggs.

Now you know the terrible truth. I'm sorry for being the one who has to break it to you, but the world isn't fair, I guess.

----------------------------

... on a serious note, of course it's possible. This is a bog-standard FF-style combat system. Goddammit, you've even used a cropped and recoloured Fighter sprite as character potrait!

You know I get what you saying and maybe I can make it less difficult for me.

I mean I was able to pull it off in osd2 & that was the first osd to have more then 1 rpg battle in the game.

I think I might narrow it down so that the leader of the group can choose a command and the ally has a auto command

So if you choose attack the player will hit the enemy and the enemy will hit back then the ally will do there auto command.
