| Say you want to make a battle that you are supposed to lose (story-related). How do you make it so that you don't lose the game, but instead go on with the plotscript? |

Well, what you'd want to use is an if() statement checking a fight formation() function. The fight formation(#) function returns 1 if you win and 0 if you run or are defeated, so:
| Code: | script, unbeatable boss, begin
if(fight formation(blah)==0) then
(
Do stuff after losing to the boss here
)
end |
I THINK that should do it. However, I myself haven't tested it yet, as I don't have OHR on this computer, but once I do test it I'll get back with confirmation. Or someone else will tell me why I'm wrong before that. But try that method out.
There was another unbeatable boss method on Moogle1's site that used tags and game-over scripts and stuff, but I forget the URL. Perhaps someone could post it?

I think you're supposed to use "set death script." It's in the plotscript dictionary.

Hmmm. I see how that could work, so I'll try it out. Thanks. 
Oh, and I like your signature, Iblis. *evil laugh*

Okay, that was me again.
I swear I didn't log off, though...

I think that that method wouldn't work if you also set a on-death script, as that script would run when you lose the battle, and before control is not returned to the 'unbeatable boss' script. In which case, just turn on a tag before you fight the boss, and in your game over script write
if (check tag (#) == 0) then (gameover)
so that control is returned to your script.

the on death script shouldn't run if the battle was within another script... i haven't tested this, but i'm sure of it...
the best approach to an "unbeatable boss" fight would be as suggested by Me. though it could be
| Code: | If(fight formation==true) then(show textbox(WTF!?))
else(commands here) |
or
| Code: | If(fight formation==true) then(show textbox(WTF!?))
commands here |
is if the player did manage to win, maybe he/she can get a secret item or something

I like the secret item idea, but right now I'm just going story-wise. I made the guy with extremely high HP and if you do somehow manage to kill him, he just respawns.

Yo yo yo!
Get the script written by the man himself (James Paige) at:
http://moogle1.stormpages.com/pstutor/dieinbattle.html
Thats the script you want! Moogle1's site has a ton of other cool scripts too.
