Turn Based RPG Combat System Style Game

I want to make a combat system like "Suikoden II" or other similar combat system like that.

Here is the combat system in the below image show what I mean:



Above link has been taken from Suikoden II combat system.

Basically, it is not the Turn Based Strategy or Turn Based Tactics like "Final Fantasy Tactic"

Here is the image show it is not supposed to be like this, the combat system:



Above link has been taken from "Final Fantasy Tactic" combat system.

Where the player have to move step by step according to the movement points and turn by turn.

The combat system what I am looking for and want to make is not based on movement points, and the player just attack the enemy, use items, defend or run away.

Do you guys know how to do it and is there any tutorial available? or the references.

Your answer much appreciated!

Thank you

 

You need a state machine!

eg

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. while (battle) {
3.  
4. Playerchoose();
5. Playerattack();
6.  
7. EnemyChoose();
8. Enemyattack();
9.  
10. EndRound();
11.  
12. }

Something like that will get you started.

 

Also look into the Scripting tutorials if you haven't already.
http://unity3d.com/learn/tutorials/modules/beginner/scripting

Look into "Classes", "Instantiate" and all intermediate topics.
You'd probably need a few interfaces and classes to combine and delegate different parts of the battle system.

 

You can design combat screen activated when there is time for combat. On the screen there should be some controls ( buttons? ) allowing player to make decisions: who is attacking, who is using healing potion and so on. And there should be "End Turn" button that player clicks when orders are given.

On EndTurn you should do as follow:
1) Disable controls so player cannot mess with game for awhile.
2) Do battle calculations: how much damage was given, how much health was restored. It is also perfect place for "AI" - let enemies do their thing here.
3) Inform player about what is going on - preferable showing short animations of taking damage, restoring health...
4) Check conditions:
- if all player characters are dead: show sad message and go to Load/Exit screen
- if all enemies are dead: show happy message and close battle screen
- else: enable controls so player can give orders in new turn that just began.


Or try RPG Maker
