Fly style attack Options

[wessel724]

Most people have played a pokemon game. So you know about the attack 'fly' or 'dig' where you select the attack, you disappear for a turn then come back. I'm having trouble making that work. I was trying to make one in rpg maker 2000 where you select the skill the specific character is removed from the party then after a turn has passed he comes back and attacks. With the specific skill based off the agility stat. If anyone already has a tutorial made and I missed it, if you could drop me a link I would appreciate it.

Well, what you should do is have a status effect called "somewhere else" or something and put it so that the character has no sprite and evades all attacks and always ends after one turn. Then you could make it so that the attack puts the status onto the guy that activated it. I'm not so sure about the attacking part but I'm pretty sure you can do something with common events or something like that.
