Atma's RPGMK2k(3) Character Transformation Skill Tutorial

[The Great Goddess Atma]

-First off, you need to make the creature/person you want to transform into as a seperate hero in the databse.

-After doing that, go to skills and name it whatever you want.

-For classification, choose SWITCH and make this a BATTLE ONLY skill.

-Then make the description/MP cost/everything else the same way you normally would.

-For the ON SWITCH, make a new switch and name it after the technique.

-Go to common events and make a new event with the same name as the attack. Make it AUTO START. For the Appearance condition, add the switch for the technique you made earlier.

-Go back to the hero data and give the skill to whomever needs it. Then go back to the common event.

-Add the CHANGE PARTY command and have it remove whomever uses the skill. Click OK.

-For the next command choose CHANGE PARTY again and add whomever or whatever the character transforms into. Click OK and go to the MONSTERS PARTY.

-Do this for every single monster party in the game. FOr TRIGGER, put the same teachnique switch. In the EVENT COMMAND box, choose CHANGE PARTY REMOVE (who uses it) and then CHANGE PARTY ADD (what they become). I reccomend copying the page once and pasting it everywhere else.

-You're done! You can also add some neat things like I did, which is making a unique item that gives the character the transformation skill and giving the transformation interesting attacks or strengths or stats. Mine is so strong it beocmes AI control.

Try different things and see what you can come up with. Have fun!

Also, sorry if a tutorial like this already exists.

This is a common, simple tutorial. It was explained step by step, though, making it easier for RM2K3 newbs to understand.

All in all, good job.

Thanks. Great tutorial!

[Red Giant]

Pretty simple, but well done. You could also merge it with a Day/Night system to make a werewolf character *Ponders*.

Problem. If the transforming character happens to be the only one alive, when he/she is removed from the party during the transformation the game ends abruptly. This is the main reason I never released a "switch party in battle" tutorial, which follows a very similar idea.

Aside from putting strange restrictions on the skill (can only be used when someone else is alive, can only be used when there are 3 or less in the party) does anyone know how to fix this?

[DaShroom]

After the Battle though, it frezzes up. Know how to fix that?

[DaShroom]

o wait. What the guy 2 posts above said....

Also when the party changes, the new character moves to the bottom of the screen, meaning that the main character could not have the skill.

*Ahem* This topic is old news now, guys. If you wanna transform, I suggest using 'change class' instead.

[Master Yoda]

Ah good point, and I am The Doctor, the final timelord, mawhahaha. I never thought of trying change class before....

[AsakuraHao2004]

Aww man, and here I thought Atma had returned..

[DaShroom]

but how do you change back?
I found out how to stop it from frezzing after battle, but still can't
figure out how to untransform.
