FEAR'S PROFILE

Hey Sidewinder! So I tinkered with the idea you described tonight, but I ran into two issues while doing so. The first being that when I assign a "No Movement" to the player character while he is alone in the party, the game automatically ends. Is there any way to alleviate that?

I made a little test play for your case as there was an idea that came to my mind. A game ends only if your character has no chance to survive the battle so it doesn't waste your time. What you can do is to set a "Recover Naturally" parameter on. In that way, the system gives you chance to recover. In your case it should be some crazy number like 200 turns, so skill casting time is always shorter than that.

In terms of the second problem, I do not see an 'Actors' turn count' selected for that specific caster, thus the system might not know what the frequency of "TurnsCountDown" should be.

You can also try to do the system in a different way. What came to my mind writing this post, is that you can make a state "Casting" which lasts x amount of turns and then always stops, bringing back a "Normal" status again. Then make a conditional in conditional:
>>if SWITCH CASTING is ON
>> if Actor's status is normal
THE EFFECTS OF YOUR SKILL
SWITCH CASTING is OFF

But make sure that in the battle event responsible for status change, the change is before turning switch ON, thus a chance of your hero having normal status and this switch being ON is possible only AFTER him coming back from 'Casting' state. You can even insert some 0.0 or 0.1 wait between them, to make it chronological on purpose. I haven't tried this method though.
