This tutorial has been created to explain how to make a limit break
system like in Final Fantasy VII. When your characters receive damage
their limit counter fills up and when it gets to the top you can use a
special attack. Once used it will start over.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

o First create the appropriate characters, limit break skills and
monsters. Make a monster party containing the monsters you want
and include these events...

PAGE 1: Trigger - Turn No[1]
<> Change variable [0001:hero HP 1] Set, Hero HP

PAGE 2: Trigger - Switch [XXXX: start] - ON
<> Change variable [0002:hero HP 2] Set, Hero HP
<> FORK Optn: Varbl [0002: hero HP 2] - V[0001] less
<> Change variable [0001:hero HP 1] -V[0002]val
<> Change variable [0003:herolimit] +V[0001]val
<> Change variable [0001:hero HP 1] Set Hero HP
:END Case
<> FORK Optn: Varbl [0003: herolimit]-V[0001] same
<> Mssg. Hero limit break!
<> Change skill: Hero - Limitskill1 -> Memory
:END Case

Hero = Character's name
XXXX: start = A switch which must have been activated before you want
any limit breaks to work. It's best to do it at the very
start of the game.
Limitskill1 = A skill you have created which will act as a limit break.

o Make the limit break skill act as a switch which sets herolimit
variable back to 0 when it's been used.
o What this whole thing does is adds the damage received to your
limit counter so when you have received the amount of damage
that your maximum HP is, you will go into limit break. This
means that you'll have to cure yourself otherwise you'll die.
I'm sure there are better ways to do this but I can't be
bothered to figure it out right now.
o One last thing, you must copy and paste this to every monster
party you have or else you will only be able to use it when you
encounter these monsters. You must also copy and paste the
commands and change the hero name and variables if you want
other characters to be able to use limit breaks as this will
only work for Hero or whatever you named the character.
