I know it's difficult to explain, so i'll try it with a video i uploaded of a work in progress project of mine.

Notice the damage showing BEFORE the longer Overdrive animations have ended. [like the Crippling Pain and Pairus Wrath skill. Though i didn't set the Crippling Pain skill in overdrive yet, so i was merely spamming it to see if it worked.]
Eventually you also see some damage while the animation is playing, but that's just the poison damage.. so forget about that. 

So what i wan't is simple. I wan't the damage to show up after the longer animations have (nearly) ceased playing.
Is anyone familiar or experienced with this battle system script that has the ability to help me out? 

Thanks..

Can you link to the CBS (The Tankentai thing) you're using?

Will do.

Any luck on finding it Algebra? 

I think the problem might be with the side view battle system itself, and the timing of damage processing.

it might be able to be solved by just changing damage display to a different point in the battle timeline, but I'm not well versed in VX scripting or the TSVBS so it's only a guess at this point, I'll try to take a look as well.

My idea was that it should be somewhere in the "SBS 2.7 Config" script.. but it would mean that i need to assign the desired skills to a certain animation sequence, or create a new one.

Not sure about that one though..

*Brainstorms* 

It's not likely that it is in the CONFIG by default. Any scripter would probably have to manually add the feature. Since hardly any scripters like working with someone else's code so intricately, it might not be easy to get someone to take this project on. If I find I have some free scripting time, I'll take a better look at how it might be done, but don't really count on that happening.

Hm, no problem at all.

From your knowledge, is there a different battle system sort of like this one that has this future.. or something similar?
