paper mario turned based battle system, need help with turn based battling

hi if you have ever played paper mario i need a turn based battle system like it where you can choose from a hammer and stuff i have already seen the one by frogjester and i dont like it could someone help me?

No one is just going to make an engine for you. Didn't this come up before? If someone made one they probably wouldn't release it publicly, at least for a while.

And tough luck if you do not like an engine for something. Either you use the available resources or try to make something yourself, I don't think anyone is going to do it for you.

And now that i think about it...didn't you post a topic about this before?

We require more details. What exactly is the situation here, what problems are you having with your engine/what-not?

well i dont know how to make a turn based battle system PM style can somone make me a simple one?

A whole turn based battle system engine is not usually simple

Engines usually aren't things that people can make in a few minutes.

i dont care how long just need one please?

No one will make one, just like that.

well what do i need to do for this help i need?

Try making your own or try and use the one "you don't like". I'm not saying it's impossible that someone will make one, but i'm just telling you, nothing is gonna come up in the next 5 minutes, and it's not going to be made just at your request. It may not even be released publicly

(I'm not sure i worded that how I wanted....)

ok thanx anyway

FOR GODS SAKE MAN LEARN GM URSELF

Sorry but anyway join the GM forums learn there its not that hard...

That type of thing is really hard to program. Also people will not just give you an engine they worked so hard on so you could make a cruddy game. It's like I'm saying it will be cruddy, but most of the time stuff like this becomes cruddy. NO offence though.

"How do I make a Paper Mario turn based battle system!?!?". Learn to use variables.
It's not overly difficult!

ok heres more detail you click a hammer mario runs up whacks goomba with hammer and does -5 damage (note the goombas health is not visible) then number 5 appears above goombas head then vanishes then mario goes back to his normal position. then the goomba runs at mario and hits him and does -5 and 5 appears above marios head and the goomba runs back to his starting position. when its the enemys turn "lock" mario in other words if you click the hamemer on the enemys turn it does nothing

I agree 100%. He's already made atleast 5 topics in the Help! forum asking for engines.

And you call it a simple engine.

... its not very hard to do.
First you have the "battle" loop, then "Mario" and "Enemy" loops inside that loop.
Using variables and "if" statements should make creation of such an engine relatively painless.

Then there's when you attack the enemies out of battle and get an advantage...
