Hello, I am struggling with initiating turn based battles. Despite spending several hours troubleshooting, I have been unable to find a solution. Here are the steps I've taken so far:

- Checked the HP is not 0
- Ensured that the layers are properly configured
- Defined the combatants in the battle component
- Changed the scene ID for the battle component
- Checked if the player is alive

Although a HUD element appears when I enter the battle trigger, the battle does not start and the "battle start schematic" does not execute. No error messages are displayed either.

Hm, you probably already checked that - but also make sure the player and the battle's combatants are enemies. The sympathy between the player's and enemy's faction must be negative (defined in Combatants > Factions > General Settings).

Otherwise, I'd need some details on your setup, e.g. start type of the battle.

Thankyou! It turned out that the issue was related to Faction Sympathy. We've recently made several changes to our combatants, and it looks like the Player/Enemy Faction Sympathy was accidentally removed.

Strange - a newly created project will have 3 basic factions with sympathies set up (player, ally and enemy), so that should only be gone if you actively change it in the faction settings.
