Making an old school rm2k game set in the future/space, but have run into a few problems with skills and conditions. Please Help!
PROBLEM #1 (MAIN PROBLEM):
Ammo system. I've looked through numerous ammo systems and can't find one that will work with my game. The best system I've found entails making the guns switch items (not equipment) and making a battle event page for each monster party, with the the code for firing the bullets on it. The problem is the sheer number of battle event pages, as I plan to make over 50 useable guns in the game, thats 50 different pages for each monster party for each weapon. It becomes too much work really quick. Also through testing I've found that this system doesnt work when more than one party member tries to use the same type of weapon during the same turn, it only allows you to activate the switch once per turn. So in other words only one person can use the .22 pistol no matter how many you have, if more than one person attempt to use the same type of weapon it only works for the first person.
Attributes of my ideal ammo system:
-to make ammo consuming weapons equipable items
-ammunition as buyable "common goods" and a variable corresponding to the quantity of ammo items
-make it so the remaining ammo is shown after every use, so you know when you're low
-make the weapon unuseable if it has no ammo, just display a message like "out of ammo"
-i was originally aiming for doing a magazine (clip) system for each weapon as well, but not picky about this
-of couse i will be making many different weapons that use the same type of ammo
PROBLEM #2:
Skills and conditions. I want to make some different types of skills such as: a two turn skill, like using solarbeam in pokemon, how it takes one turn to set up and the next turn does the damage. A multiple party member skill, where it takes more than one party member present to perform the skill, and costs mana from all participants. And last but not least, since I am assigning the MP in my game as SP (stamina points), I am trying to make a fatigue condition, where if a character is out of SP he/she will become fatigued and automatically fall under that condition. I cannot seem to get it so that a characters condition will change to fatigued once their SP reaches 0, and then lose the condition once the SP becomes more than 0. During battle anyways.
Please help me!
