Is there anyway to make an attack hit a certain person? I'm asking because of my idea for a battle game

For the certain person thing, if you're asking for an attack that can attack the same guy twice or something, you could use the "store target" option in the attacks menu. But a combo move? You should either try a
hell-of-a-lotta scripting, or you could just give up and try to work on someting a little simpler.

With the speed thing, you would probably need an attack that would hit an enemy, and make it spawn into an invisible enemy, make the enemy decrease the speed of "character", then have it wait a while until the spawn does another attack to put the speed back to normal.

I have no clue about what you are talking about when you say "character". Oookay...

Do you mean a hero or an enemy?

Hero.

Actually, I thought about doing the drop in speed like a jump move; chaining it to a move that happened a while later. Will this work?
Enemy combos would be cool too, but that seems like I'm throwing more wood on an already burning building.

I'll have to see how store target works. I might be able to work with it.

Edit: I just got an idea. I have to modify my idea a little bit to get it to work, though.

In the menu list, you have the ability to choose Combo. When you choose it, you can pick any of the members of the party using the targeting thing of Ally not Self. Then, that cause the attack is chained to an attack which uses the last targeted to decrease that person's speed, which is chained to an attack that performs the damaging attack for the enemies, which is chained to an attack that brings the heroes speed back to normal.

The only thing that is cut out of the system is people affecting the effectiveness of the attack. I might be able to come up with something.

Sorry. I'm typing fast. I mean a move that happens later. If the player won't do anything anyway, then I can just keep the speed the same, and use the idea I had previously.

Now the only problem is making effectiveness issues, but I might not be able to do those.

Thanks for the help
