As previously mentioned, I’ve been building an RPG using RPG Maker VX Ace and its underlining Ruby Gaming Scripting System 3 (RGSS3) framework to build “Sprawl’s Quest“.
One thing I always hate in the old school RPG was how easy it was to flee from combat to skip ahead of content. So in Sprawl’s Quest, I decided to add an XP Penalty for Escaping from battle.
As with all RPG Maker VX Ace scripts, place this in the Materials section. There shouldn’t be an compatibility issues since I am just subtracting some XP on a successful flee from battle.
