Sounds great! Though I did end up figuring out what I did wrong and it's such an obvious mistake.
Enemies walking to the right and not attacking :: Make sure character sheet has attacks in their attack list, not just in the TBS settings. On that note, 10 in every stat is NOT going to show up well in damage displays, giving the impression of 0 damage.
Omni not advancing turns :: Make sure Omni is set to turns otherwise default character agility will give multiple turns over freshly created enemies. Scene Setup>Default Battle Turn Mode>Turn/Active (putting this here for others)
And a third issue I had was with self switch A not advancing at the end of combat. I had typed the comment to read <selfSwitchOn=A> It should be <selfSwitchOn:A>
These are all really obvious once I started cross referencing with the demo. But if you get someone with these issues in the future, here it is. Thank you for your time, I really appreciate it.
