Instructions in the Battles Options

[Orrion Carn]

Okay, Firstly: I'm no stranger to the Internet, so I've tried searching the forum before posting this and I couldn't find anything.
Secondly: I am a complete stranger when it comes to RMVX, and need some help.

I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to display instructions to the player during their first battle, and so far I haven't had much luck.

I don't really know how to explain it other than what was done with the introductory battle between Vein and Vance in Valkyie Stories - Escallion Rising.

I've seen it done in plenty of other RPGs (Such as Final Fantasy if my memory serves, can't find FFVI atm), and Valkyie Stories reminded me as such.

I'd prefer to do this in an Event, but I'm okay if I have to do it within the scripts, so far the only script edit I've done so far is changing the Ship/Airship speeds

Thanks for the help in advance!

Done easily with the event box in the Troops section of RMXP. You'll find it in the lower right part of the screen. At the top is the conditions needing to be met for the event to happen. Typically turn numbers are what you're looking for.

Inside you can do most all your events, such as messages and showing pictures.

Don't you mean VX? Anyway, yes, that's pretty much how to do it. A little on the commands: If you want a character or monster to preform an action, select "Force Action". If you want to show text, just select the first option in the event window, show text. And if you want the battle to end, pick Abort Battle. Hope this helps.

Thanks to both of you! Worked like a charm
