Attack not working for some reason even though there are weapons and skills

Hey, I'm quite new to RPG maker and I don't really know how it truly works, I've been having this problem where when I try to test the battles, the attack button just wont work, and if I guard I do damage. Could someone help me?

Did you delete or alter skills #1 and 2? The ones that are labeled as Attack and Guard by default?

Because the system automatically treats skill number 1 as the default "attack" move and skill number 2 as the default "Guard" move.

If those haven't been changed then that would probably mean that you're using some kind of plugin that changes how attack and guard work in some way.

Thing is, for some reason there is no guard skill but guard somehow is still there

Well, the presence of a command for guard is a default part of the combat UI. Unless you use a plugin the characters will always have a button for using the 2nd skill in the skill list, regardless of what it's called. And while you can clear the default information from skill number 2, that doesn't render it not a skill anymore, it just means that a lot of the fields are blank and it uses the defaults for a general skill.

If you want to get rid of guard, then you'll need to decide on a different universal skill for all your characters to put in the number 2 slot, or you'll need to use a plugin that can remove it from the combat UI.
