battle system

[megamushroom]

ok, i am using ShadOws superb battle system, but am having a bit of trouble with it.

1) I want it so that the damage dealt is whatever is writen in the array, so attack[d,2] and so on, not put into a forumla, because this seems to give me problems. My limit attack, at power 2000, only takes off 6 from a 238hp character, you may be able to guess this is wrong!

2) i want it to write what has just happened on the screen, ie:
draw_text(16,350,"You just dealt" + string(damage(self,player,atktemp)) + "Damage")
but the text does not draw!
any suggestions?

thanks

ok, i have figured out how to do the second point, but not the first, and I also have a new problem. I havent messed around with the battle engine for ages, and when i tested it out today, this problem appeared out of nowhere!

basically, when the mana of the enemy reached maxmana, the enemy attacks, but now the mana continues going, and doesnt stop, and i cannot find the bit of code to control it!

shad0w hasnt replied my pm from ages ago, so i dont think i should ak him, and the gm forum, no one replied, so can anyone on here help me?

ok, ignore my last post!!!
I have had a few hours with it, and i have actually figured it out!
for the ongiong mana, i had to change the limits tp player.(whatever), so i had to make new ones for the monsters!
Also, figured out the unfair battle system, it was my fault also, I didnt put enough 0's on my itmes to do enough power!!

One new problem though(will they ever end?) When the battle is over, It carries on, not sure how to change this, as it is like this due to the engine being unfinished, but i'm sure i can figure it out, maybe

when the battle finishes call a

if battle_end =1 destroy_instance();
{
create_instance();
world_map
}


something similar to that
p.s dont try to use the stuff in the brackets as they are fake and wont work ;D waant you to figure out the rest by yourself
