Oh yes. I have had the pleasure of becoming a member of a forum for the first time ever and it was not a good experience. I had the same Moderator repeatedly telling me I posted in the wrong area, and then finally she "warns" me worth of 2 points because I replied to my topic as I was trying to figure out my own solution. So I can't cancel my membership but I am done going there. I need help, but apparently they aren't willing to deal with newbies too well. Anyway here is the topic I started and the user Lone Wolf, thankfully, did post the solution but I didn't understand his answer until I discovered it myself. So I'd like to ask any of you out there who have only played old school final fantasy turn based rpgs, if you would have caught on to this without any help, because it confused me.
So there was the answer I circled in red. Here is what the database in the RpgMaker looks like
Now my problem was, even though I created multiple weapons underneath the weapons tab and their corresponding animations under the animations tab, no matter what was equipped, the character would just punch the enemy with a regular attack. Now my impression of the skill tab, thats where special attacks and magic are designed. How was I to know that regular attacks were in this tab? Yes the help manual states the same thing but in an even more confusing way than Lone Wolf described it. Here is how it should have been described to me, in a dumb person language:
Make sure the 001 skill's animation is set to "normal attack". Thank you to Lone Wolf though, He came very close, but look how far down he posted. NO ONE knew this apparently simple piece of advice? Yeah I believe that. So what I learn from this is that if you are new to something, find a different way to learn that the forums, cause its the law of nature there, and those who have no knowledge, are left to die out there all alone. I'll just slowly pick apart the rpgmaker and figure things out on my own. This is also why I know no one can help me with Ruby or the RGSS3, because they can't put their teaching into simple form for people like me who have no idea what they are doing. Just like most Bosses in real life, Moderators are living proof. Give people power, and they become douchebags. Hawk Out!
If I knew those languages I could probably teach you. i use layman's terms pretty well even when I shouldn't.
