Update Action Order Per Action
Version: 1.0
Author: Logan Forrests
Date: April 18, 2011
Version History
- <Version 1.0> 18.04.2011 - Original Release
Planned Future Versions
None.
Description
Forces the turn order to be redetermined each time a battler makes an action. Thus, speed changes (such as via Haste/Slow like skills) will affect the order a battler makes their action during the action order execution process, not when the action orders are recalculated at the next turn.
Please do note that this is designed primarily for the Default Battle System as it changes the way that make_action_orders works. It will probably conflict with Custom Battle Systems. If you do make use of a CBS, then please direct yourself to the Support section of this post.
Instructions
No customisation required, so not much to instruct on.

Author's Notes
I'm not sure if one already exists, but since I needed this functionality for another script I'm working on I figured I might as well put it up here anyway. Feel free to remove it if one already exists.
Restrictions
Nothing but credit for this one. It's not a particularly clever script, it just adds a little to the default system.
