Is it possible to create battle events and structures similar to that seen in Square games such as Chrono Trigger (a great game) and Final Fantasy Games. By this i mean semi turn-based scenes where players use attack, spells, items etc.. u know wot i mean, if u dont have a look at one of the games i mentioned above. Anyways, is this possibe because i think its a much better battle system than the point and clik system
------------------
The short answer is no, this is not a feature of the Coldstone Game Engine.
The long answer is yes, with some fairly intensive event scripting you can probably create a turn-based system. There has been a lot of discussion about this on this web board. Try searching previous posts for it. (There's a "Search" link in the upper right corner of this page.) Also, I believe ellrx has written s brief article/tutorial on this; I don't recall the link to his web site, but it's in his signature if you look at any post he's made recently.
------------------
I don't know what I'm talking about.
Oh no, here comes another learning experience.

personally, I don't know why you really do NEED a turn-based system. I am absoluteley fine with realtime-combat. Look at some of the most famous games out there - a few of which are all of the Zelda games, and all of the Diablo games. Even though I'm not a big fan of the Diablo games, It is one of the most popular games out there. You don't NEED a turn-based system, in my opinion. Also: do all users of CGE really play their RPG's with the mouse? I find that a little strange. A good ol' realtime rpg is definateley a keyboard game to me. Well, thats just me I guess.
Oh shoot, this is kinda spam... uh... talk to KamaShin. He's a happy user of the CGE turn-based system made by a whole bunch of events. There's my input.

::Opens and reads his own PDF::, In that edition you only create a total of
5 events
The second better planned out, step by step version you create a total of;
10 events, not counting adding the one necessary action to your Main event.
(6 globals
4 animations
5 NPCs(templates)
2 items
2 graphics
2 maps/locations)
--------
You tell me, how many is a bunch? You can count that without taking off your shoes.

You are not alone...i didnt even know mouse control was possible untill i started reading posts that mentioned it...If you use the mouse and just click on a place, the computer does all the work for you. But if u actually plan out a route yourself, you can get it how you want it.

Sorry man. I had no intention on insulting your pdf, I have never looked through it and assumed there were a bunch more events than there are. Simple mistake.

This is off-topic, but is your desire for image tags in your sig so great that you copy and paste that into every post?
yes indeed.

There is a reason that image tags are not allowed in signatures. This has been expressely disabled by the administration.
By-passing something that you aren't allowed to do is not recommended.
