ESC from battle

[areleg]

Is there another way to escape from battle in windows version? Ir a way to make it a menu item?
Holding ESC doesn't work for me.

You can make escape attacks:

From the Edit Attacks -> Bitsets... -> Force Victory (ends the battle by letting heroes win)
From the Edit Attacks -> Bitsets... -> Force Battle Exit (ends battle)
From the Edit Attacks -> Bitsets... -> Cause heros to run away (heroes flee)

I'd like to see a 'cause enemies to run away' option added.

There's something in the wik on escape-attacks: http://rpg.hamsterrepublic.com/ohrrpgce ... ing_Attack

For the menu item I think it goes like this:
go to Edit Heros -> Battle Menues ... -> Change one of the items to be an Attack, by changing it to Kind:Specific Attack and then choose your run away attack.

Edit: Where did the text go?

Yes, marionline's answer is correct if you are making your own game and want to add a run away menu option


but if you are trying to just play someone elses game and your "ESC" key is broken, then no, there is not a built-in alternative button for that, but you can use the "On-Screen Keyboard"

On Windows 7 it is located in Start->All Programs->Accessories->Ease Of Access->On-Screen Keyboard

I am not sure where it is located on other versions of windows.

Thank you Marion and Bob!
I feel honored. I will definitely try the new menu way.
Bob, I didn't even know about the on screen keyboard's existence.

Thanks for the responsiveness!

Bob, the ESC doesn't work with the on screen keyboard either, for escaping.
It works for any other use like canceling choices on screens, but just doesn't work for me when I hold it down to escape a fight.
Is there a setting or something I'm doing wrong?

[Bob the Hamster]

That is strange. I tested it on a Windows 7 computer this morning and it was working for me.

What OS version are you using?

[areleg]

oh! Windows 10

I also noticed, if opened an older game, I am able to run with ESC. Just not able to run when in a new game made with the editor version 20160606

Is the game in question a turn-based game like Dragon Quest, or a game with active time battle like the SNES and PS1 Final Fantasies? If the game is turn-based, holding Escape will never work for running away from battle.

[areleg]

Yes! Yes it is turn based. OK, that answers the question.
Thanks so much! I will create an escape attack and make it a menu option.
