Making Combo Attacks/Multiple Hit Attacks [RPG Maker 2k3]

[Xenomic]

Alright, so I was thinking of making multiple hit/combo attacks for my game. As in, say an attack hits 8 times, the target(s) would take 8 hits respectively. Now, I'm certain that it's possible to do this in 2k3...though I'm not sure HOW it would work. Can anyone help me with this bit? x_x

Though I can't say for sure, I think Rm2k3 has a Force Action command. Just make a skill that starts up a common event that uses the Force Action command "Skill" -> "Whatever", and repeat that 8 times.

Force Action....don't see that in there. Unless you mean Call or something? Though don't think that's it either...

Enable Combo.

Oh, I see. It's in Monster Groups. So let's see if I get this. I would have to make an event trigger then use the Combo or something? So it'd be like


[New Page]
Trigger: [Cloud] uses the [Magic] command
Enable Combo: Target [Cloud], Target Battle Command [Magic], number of Reptitions [4]


The issue here for me then is...would this still only work on one attack, or everything in that command? Since say, Meteor is in the Magic command, but so isn't something say, Ultima. I wouldn't want Ultima to be used 4 times as well since I only want Meteor to hit 4 times.

Ah, here it gets complicated. I think "Enable Combo" is more like, say a cutscene in battle happens. Enable Combo is in it, which allows the next turn to use that option x times. Using it within the command itself won't work until the next turn most likely.

Now as I suspected a while after posting you want to make specific multi-hit moves. This can be done through editing the skills themselves. ... by making the skill do 4x damage.

I just checked now, and it seems the only way to create that multi-hit, with multiple damage pops is with the Enable Combo event command (maybe) or with weapons. When making a weapon if you click 'Set' under the hero's sprite you can change repetitions - but only up to three times.

The option isn't available for skills unfortunately.

Ah, so I can't do what I was aiming to do with skills then. Darnit! That would've made some characters in my rpg a lot more useful if that was possible >_<
