Description

With simple configuration, you too can have a myriad number of random battle transitions for your RPG Maker VX Ace title.

Features

Easily set up as many random battle transitions as you want[/li][/list]

Screenshots

Battle transitions are animated, and I don't have the time to make a .gif, so you don't get any >:C

Instructions

Configuration:
Ensure that all of your BattleStart graphics are named as follows: BattleStart_X.png, where X is the number.
Example: if we had 3 BattleStart graphics, I would name them:

BattleStart_1.png
BattleStart_2.png
BattleStart_3.png


At Configuration Point A (labeled in the script), set the 'return' value to the number of BattleStart graphics in your Graphics/System folder.

I needed this. I was trying to pick one battle transition over another and was getting a headache.
