Is there a way you could modify this to allow so after you select an item, that the arrow would automatically recognize other actors on screen?
I'm trying to implement a magic system similar to Secret of Mana or Secret of Evermore where the screen pauses, the player selects the spell, and then ties the spell to an animation (launch projectile setting can take care of the last part) which impacts the actor.
I bought your assets pack and Vol 1 and 2 bundles. I've been enjoying them a lot but was hoping for assistance with the request above if possible.
Hello! Thank you so much for your support! I am so glad you found my GB Studio System bundles and that you are enjoying them.
As for your request. I am trying to fully grasp the idea. Correct me if I'm wrong.
You want this Equip System to act as a UI for selecting magic spells? And when you select the spells the background will pause? including actors? Is that right? I'm quite confused.
I want to modify the Equip System to act as a UI for selecting magic spells. Just like the Equipment System, pauses the game when selecting the items, I want it to do the same but replace them with magic spells. Once the spell is selected, I'd like the selection arrow to rotate between actors currently present on the screen (to be able to select which actors are impacted by which spell). Below is a YouTube video of Secret of Mana as a reference. Its an SNES game so I'm not expecting it to be as polished but just something to get started with.
OH!!! YES I get it now. Wow. Thank you for this. I totally didnt think of that kind of system. I might just make a new one because that would require a whole lot of tweaking. Might as well start from scratch. My only concern is if you will be able to wait because I am currently in the middle of moving to a new home and we are not yet finished which is why I haven't made a system in a very long time. I'll get back to you on this. It might be included in my GB Studio vol. 3 bundle next time!
Thank you for your consideration. I can wait as I'm learning now, Game Development takes an extremely long time. Good luck with your move and I look forward to the project when you have time to work on it.

I'm sorry, I should have been more clear.
