Hi, so I was thinking on spicing up some of the boss battles and was thinking of having some sort of hidden mechanic that let's you have a bonus edge before starting the fight if you search the dungeons.
What do you people think of this idea? I know it's nothing special but bosses will have strategies during the fights too it's just a mechanic that can help you beat a tough enemy.
Now what I need help is on 2 things:
1 - How am I going to make something like above that will damage or giving some status effect, etc to the enemy before the fight? All I can think is by switch activation that will occur when the battle starts.
2 - Anyone could give me a basic tutorial on how to make a working timer with variable counter? I was thinking of some time based puzzles but have no idea how to make it work with the timer.
Thanks.
