First time at rmrk so excuse me if i start acting like a bix noot.

Anyways, I'm making a simple game, using mostly the most basic of scrips.
And what i would like is a Limmit break script, Yaknow, like in Final fantasy 8.

The trick is, i dont want to to be just a

"When hp below 10% add skill ____" Script, then it really wouldent have the "Limmit break" feel to it. What i would like is something like Blizz's Overdrive script. But i failed horridly because i dont know how to preform a call script command. So if anyone could make a more... "plug-n-play" kind of script, i would be so very in debt to you.
Or show me how to preform a call script command, and where.
Also...one last request. A simple HP bar/SP Bar/EXP bar/LB bar.
Hp-red
SP-blue
Exp-Yellow
Lb-Crimson

First off, it's Limit Break, one m.

Secondly, the system you're kinda describing there is different than in FF8. FF8 has a set up where you'd pull off your limit break if your health was at a low enough level or under special circumstances. Do you mean you want a system that randomly pulls off "desperate moves" when your health is low (as in FF8), or something that builds up over time like an overdrive (as in FF7)?

Off Topic:Thanks for the correction.

On Topic: I'd kinda like a "Desperate moves" script.
But i got blizz's overdrive script working, I was just thinking like a retard when i attempted to use it the first time.

I'd like to try a FF8-imitation Limit breaker script.
But if its too much hassle, then don't bother.

to be fair it would also sometimes just give you a limit in FF8 via pure luck. then there were the items that would give you one automatically, Aura? something like that. i really liked that game man

Did a bit of digging and found this.

If I'm looking at it right, you just plug in the numbers you want at the beginning there.

DesperationHP is the health percentage that the desperate moves can be activated in.
DesperationChance is the random chance of a desperate move being pulled off.
DesperationReplace is whether the desperate move should replace the regular attack or be in addition to.
DesperationSwitch is the ID number of the switch used to turn this feature on or off.

Then, you add in the skill that you want for each individual character.

DesperationSkills[Actor ID number] = [Skill ID number]

Just repeat this for every character in your party.

Ok..that script is SOMEWHAT what im looking for, but im thinking maybe a bit more of a graphic to it.

Something like this *Points to attachments*, only it puts the arrow next to attack, and lets you select weather to do a normal attack, or a limit break, instead of just a randomly overpowered attack.

BUT only allow the option to be seen when at critical HP, under a certan chance, and then and ONLY then, could it appear.
