Battle Design Options

Okay, so we have a sort of reactive system, where enemies try to guess moves and play strategically (according to their type, more strategically as the game goes on). And we have a counterspell system. And we have an elements system:

Melee
Ranged
(Some things like ghosts are completely immune to both physical, and flying things are probably immune to melee and earth)
Fire
Water
Thunder
Ice
Earth
Air
Light
Dark
(At least)

There should also be all kinds of strategies for bosses, including some puzzle bosses. Ummm let's see... VX has TP, but I think you can turn it off, at least in ACE. Do we want TP system?

This is the basics of how you do it.



I figured this out by walking in front of a mirror. The image follows you (in this case by teleport, but if could also probably do a pass through movement) and faces you except when you are facing away. People mistakenly reverse the left-right facing, but this isn't really what happens.

When you walk away, the mirror image should do its last animation and change to a blank charset. You need a touch event that does this.


And you need a moving/teleporting event that normally looks blank until you change the graphic (the Mirror Image).

You can also use this for something like an enemy that bars your path by mirroring you, by editing the code slightly.
