Hello, I would like to add the feature of a timed hit. The best examples of this I could use would be any Mario RPG. If you haven't played those, a timed hit is when you press a button shortly before your characters attack animation is played, and extra damage is added. I am using RPG Maker XP's standard battle system, nothing added.
As for making this happen, I originally tried to make an event using Input Key, however input key stops any loops I had made to act as a timer. I tried also using a normal timer with some success, however when the timer count reaches 0, the battle becomes automatically aborted. I figured the next best idea would be a script, but I have no idea how to go about this myself. Any help or leads are appreciated, thanks
