Hi all,

I'm working on an rpg project in the spirit of Bug Fables and the Paper Mario series. I'm enjoying everything I've learned through the framework so far. I wondering if anyone could help get me started to incorporating Action Commands into the Turn Based Combat system in ORK. I know it would have to do with Battle Action and event nodes, but I need some help knowing what type of event to create and how to link it to a specific ability. I am a novice when it comes to code but it has been fairly easy to pick up ORK with the help of the Game Tutorial.

IE: Turn based combat. Select an attack, walk up to the enemy, "press A to fill up an action bar" and do damage based on the success of the action input.

Enemy attacks, press A with timing to reduce damage

Any help is hugely appreciated, and please feel free to contact me if you have interest in learning about the project!

You'd handle stuff like that in the battle event for the attack.

"wait for input" is one you'll probably want to use where you can check for specific button presses within a time limit to change a variable that is used in the damage calculation of that attack.

(damage + 'attackmultiplier result')

Thank you for your response! Would a command prompt (button prompt animations to guide the user input) be handled in the same event or separate?

The event could trigger displaying it, e.g. if it's a HUD set up in ORK, you can trigger displaying it via game variables and the HUD's display conditions, or use a function node to call some custom functionality.
