I was wondering if it's possible to create a move such as "Doom" from Final fantasy. were five turns pass on a target and afterwards automaticly dies. If so how.

With the default battle system I'm not sure (don't have any experience with TK3's default).  I would try threads.  See if you can get a thread to run that counts down a player's time left and kills them when it reaches 0.  (Assuming threads work while the battle system is running.)

If you're working on a custom battle system, then of course there's plenty of ways to do  it.  I would imagine a simple counter that goes down as the player takes turns.

It might be possible to create a move like doom using status effects. When the
enemy/character uses doom have doom set a variable to 5 and also set a status effect on the enemy/character.Create a program to be activated each turn with status effects. Set the program to make the variable lower by 1 each turn. When the variable hits 0 destroy the enemy/character.
