Module with different combat system

[kmdcomp]

Hi guys. I just started playing a few days ago and I eventually want to make my own module, but I'm just playing around with making some small changes to the original game to learn my way around ATM.

Is it possible to add more control during combat to control each party member during each turn, possibly with some kind of initiative system to determine who moves when? Or would I have to dig into the engine itself to make that kind of change?

Never mind, I think I found what I was looking for by stitching a couple other posts together.

You can force a party switch when the actor has enough energy to act, in theory at least. I haven't tested it.


But something like this in the act method in actor /should/ work.

Code: Select all

if game.party:hasMember(self) then
	game.party:setPlayer(target)
	self:resetCanSeeCache()
end

*edit* haha.. what I get for starting a post and then afking for ten minutes.

Thanks edge, that's more specific than what I was able to find with my quick search and gives me a jumping off point.
