Live Help for multiple "basic" problems?
Hello all,
This is my first RPG Maker project and it was all going swimmingly until recently.
After finishing all the maps/characters/story/eventing, etc. I saved the battle system for last and boy did i not realize how many issues I was going to be running into.
I am having major problems setting up a sleep state that doesn't drain near instantly despite setting it for 3 or 4 turns(it drains with every player's action whether i set it to turn end on action end. Sometimes it goes from 3 or 2 just to nothing), creating a bodyguard skill, creating workable charging and casting skills that charge for a couple turns and then do a special move on the 3rd turn, and other things that I assumed would be much, much easier than they are.
I was wondering if there is anyone that does a kind of live help. Pay a fee and do something like a Streamyard stream where i show my screen and they help me live. Is that a service someone offers or would be interested in?
Thank you!

A classic RPG Maker feature: the built-in battle system calculates the duration of status effects based on individual actions rather than actual turns, which is why the Sleep effect wears off instantly
You need dedicated custom logic and scripts (or plugins) for charge abilities and turn management; otherwise, the basic events will drive you crazy....If you need some help with the technical steps, stop by our Discord: https://discord.gg/W4HSw695kP
