help! is this workable?

npc:
(player) robots 1, 2
(enemy) robots 3,4,5
heroes: arrow, battle robots 1, 2
outline:

1. if robot 1's speed = 5, robot1move = 5
2. if space is pressed --> freeze player, robot 1 moves 5 blocks towards arrow's position, set tag "robot 1 moved" = on
3. end of player's turn (still frozen)

-----------

4. if robot 3 speed = 5, robot3move = 5
5. move robot 3, 5 blocks towards arrow position, set tag "robot 3 moved" = on
6. if robot 3 steps on robot 1, remove hero (arrow), add hero (battle robot 1), commence battle, if battle is won proceed to step 8
7. else, proceed to step 8

----------

8. unfreeze player, remove hero (battle robot 1) , add hero (arrow)
9. player presses space bar on a certain position
10. freeze player, if "robot 1 moved" = on, (robot 2 = 7 speed) robot 2 moves 7 blocks towards arrow position
11. set tag "robot 1 moved" = off, set tag "robot 2 moved" = on

----------

12. if "robot 3 moved" = on, robot 4 speed = 5, robot 4 move = 5
13. move robot 4, 5 blocks towards player npc, set tag "robot 4 moved" = on
14. if robot 3 steps on robot 2, remove hero (arrow), add hero (battle robot 2), commence battle

* cycle repeats for all enemies, when the leader is defeated or all enemies are destroyed, the map ends and proceeds to next mission's briefing

So, the player moves around an arrow while all the robots stand still, and every time they press space one of the player's robots and one of the enemy robots move towards the arrow? I don't really see why you'd want to do that. I haven't played super robot wars.

But your description can be translated pretty directly into script. The only tricky point is moving an NPC 5 tiles towards a point. The OHR doesn't have a pathfinding function yet, so you need to write a little script to figure out how to walk them. The easiest thing to do is to just walk them in the direction of the tile, but then they might get stuck in corners. Maybe that's what you want. Here's the script (which I haven't tested):

Code:
# some useful scripts

script, abs, val, begin
  if (val << 0) then (return (-1 * val)) else (return (val))
end

script, sign, val, begin
  if (val << 0) then (exit returning (-1))
  if (val >> 0) then (exit returning (1))
end


script, walk npc to spot, npc, x, y, num tiles, begin
  #numtiles is the maximum number of tiles to walk the npc
  variable (i, diff x, diff y)
  for (i, 1, num tiles) do (
    if (npc X (npc) == x && npc Y (npc) == y) then (exit script)
    diff x := x -- npc X (npc)
    diff y := y -- npc Y (npc)
    if (abs (diff x) >> abs (diff y)) then (
      walk npc to X (npc, npc X (npc) + sign (diff x))
    ) else (
      walk npc to Y (npc, npc Y (npc) + sign (diff y))
    )
    wait for npc (npc)
  )
end


You seem to have a problem here:

6. if robot 3 steps on robot 1, remove hero (arrow), add hero (battle robot 1), commence battle, if battle is won proceed to step 8
7. else, proceed to step 8
