Chrono trigger isn't true turn-based combat, though. It's, "wait for your meters to fill and then select options while the enemies attack you." Turn-based combat is when the player and enemy parties actually take turns attacking each other.

I bought it, don't know if I'll use it besides expanding my learning of GM / GML, but it's a cause I can support :D
Haha don't worry you're not alone, I've got loads of extensions / assets and stuff I'll never use but I wanted to give a little to someone who had made something cool with a few dollars to show my support.

This is what I came up with:


GMS isn't very random so you have to add randomize(); anywhere in the object before the random / irandom code you're using to effect any random / irandom code you're using. Or you can set the random seed yourself to which you can find on youtube several videos on how to set the seeding.
