Title: A "Diamond Dog" System
Post by: imthewalrus on February 19, 2008, 10:44:28 PM

Hopefully you know what I'm talking about here!

In case you don't: The title is a reference to one of my favorite SNES RPGs, Earthbound. One boss is named Carbon Dog, and if you use an ice attack against him, he becomes the weaker Diamond Dog.

I want to do something like that.

For example, hitting an Ice Elemental with a fire attack would cause it to melt into a Water Elemental, or hitting a Fire Elemental with a water attack would cause it to become a Steam Elemental. I know how to make enemies turn into other enemies, but I don't how how to trigger it with attacks. That's why I request help with that.

I guess you could add an event into the battle of those enemies that makes it turn a switch(something like "Fire magic used") on.
Then make the transformation skill on the monster only to be used when the switch is on(100 prio as well).

But I don't know how to change them back though... I guess you could make them have the "transform-back skill" after 10 turns or something.

Yeah... this can be done pretty simply using a few battle events. There are even battle event commands to transorm one enemy into another.

Dont be afraid to dig around in your battle events. They can do quite a bit of sweet stuff. Just play around.

Nevermind. (If you read that, actually make it 99999 HP and make it detect 1-99998, or it'll loop when the Trigger Monster is discretely killed, then make it revive when you use magic, and die if you don't damage it.)

Yeah, but he totally pwned that help request.
