Pixie's Simple Combat Library is very good and easy to understand. Though it's design is a more open ~ 'free-flowing ~ active' combat system.
So, if you want a more locked ~ turn-based combat sytem, then... take a look at mine (used Pertex's code structure) + Pertex' Combat System, below:
though, if you just want to at least see another type of combat system for merely ideas, you can take a look at my adaptation of Pertex' Combat Library too:
(though do be warned, this is an old version, it's very ugly and poorly done along with an annoying use of abrevs which I've learned never to do ever again as even I was having trouble with remembering my own abrevs meanings lol, I've improved a bit since I did this successfully, but I don't have any sources of an updated better version of my combat code... I might have some posts on here... but trying to find them... riiiight... lol)
(so, if you're interested in this design of code, mine+Pertex: turn-based script-block-locked combat, then let me know, and I can probably re-code it for you in a much better version, if you'd like)
viewtopic.php?t=3348 (see the last ~ most recent posts to find my combat code posts)
here's Pertex' CLEANING UP ~ REFINING of my code (so you should look at this link instead of my poor initial code further below):
