Summary

So basically, I'm trying to create a battle event where there are three characters, and only one specific character is playable by the user. I want to be able to choose what moves the other two characters will do, and then the playable character can do whatever move they choose to do. Let me give a quick step-by-step: == BATTLE STARTS == NPC 1: Make a specific move. NPC 2: Make a specific move.

So basically, I'm trying to create a battle event where there are three characters, and only one specific character is playable by the user. I want to be able to choose what moves the other two characters will do, and then the playable character can do whatever move they choose to do. Let me give a quick step-by-step:

== BATTLE STARTS ==
NPC 1: Make a specific move.
NPC 2: Make a specific move.
Player: Make whatever move they want.
*Message Window - Player: "None of my attacks are effective!"
Enemy 1: Make a random move (I don't dictate the moves)
Enemy 2: Make a random move. (I don't dictate the moves)

NEXT TURN

NPC 1: Make a specific move.
NPC 2: Make a specific move.
*Message Window - Player: "<some other message>"
Player: Make whatever move they want.
Enemy 1: Make a random move (I don't dictate the moves)
Enemy 2: Make a random move. (I don't dictate the moves)

SO ON AND SO FORTH
After some point, an NPC plays a special skill, that kills all the enemies.

== BATTLE ENDS ==

Is something like this possible to do? I'm open to using any plugins if necessary.
