(Pretty sure this is in the right spot)
I was having a custom script being done for my game, but the person scripting it hasn't improved upon this script and hasn't even started and it's been around a month.

The script was made to allow the damage of a skill happen DURING the skill's animation. This allows battles to go a lot faster, and gives the game a more realistic perspective.

The problems with this script are two things:
1. Using "Attack" makes the Attack hit twice, or 4 times for "Dual attack" attacks.
2. Same thing using items that heal/damage ETC.

I normally wouldn't post it, I'm not sure if he wants others using it, but it doesn't work in it's current state due to these 2 problems.

What engine is this for? I tried to do something in VX Ace. It doesn't draw at the same time, but it pretty much instant.

end

Hope it helps.
