Shock/Health: Hardcoded animation? - Kugawattan - 05-14-2017
Hi. I wish to change how Shock (or Health) works so it casts a different spell. I can easily make it so it casts anything else, but there's one problem: The animation. It stays like Shock (or Megahit) no matter what spell is chosen.
And no, the workaround of simply chainging Megahit's code won't work for me, since Madsiur gave me a patch to make the spell cast be different for an interval of levels.
Code:
Shock
C2/171A: A9 82 LDA #$82 ("Megahit" spell, which is what has Shock's data)
C2/171C: 80 02 BRA $1720 (go set that as spell/animation)Changing 82 (which is the Megahit spell) to anything else will take on the properties of the new assigned spell, but the animation is still the same.
Help?
RE: Shock/Health: Hardcoded animation? - madsiur - 05-14-2017
The LDX #$0F6C (C1/BB6A) use in many commands seem to be a base for animation data index, in the case of Health, 0 is added to it but on other commands using it it's probably not the case. The data pulled is 4180 FFFF FFFF 0000 0000 1041 0010, see animation data for details.
I could easily have a pointer selection around C1/BB6A depending of which spell chosen. Basically replacing the LDX #0F6C by a conditional of four that would point to their respective spell animation data. More news this week!
Edit: I made a test with #0000 pointing to first data (fire). I had the fire animation but followed by the Health animation. There might be a second call to an animation somewhere, more investigation needed.

For animation purposes, $B5 and $B6 are used. $B5 is the command and $B6 is the command selection.
For the shock/health command, it looks like $B5 isn't altered and the animation used will be the animation for the command. It looks intentional by the game designers.
You can use Umaro's storm code as a base to alter the shock/health command. It setups $B5 as the 'magic' command with the spell id as $B6. The code begins at C2/170D.
I did a custom code to alter shock/health to use custom assigned spells with their animations. It uses a piece of Umaro's storm code. You can change the 'shock_spell' and 'health_spell' variables for their new spells id and compile it with asar.
Code:
;===============================================================================

RE: Shock/Health: Hardcoded animation? - seibaby - 05-16-2017
This sets the command to Magic, so enemies that counter the Magic command will counter Shock too. And you can't set enemies to counter the Shock command exclusively. It's a decent workaround but not ideal.As you said, it will have the problem with stepping back off the battlefield if used with a spell, since the Shock command doesn't have a "step forward" component to its animation.
RE: Shock/Health: Hardcoded animation? - HatZen08 - 05-16-2017
I suppose all animations compatible with the 'magic' command should work. Other animations associated with other commands (sword tech, blitz, etc) may or may not have the 'one step forward' bug.
You can use C2/1DBF to determinate the correct command for any of the 256 spells/actions/moves table. It gets the spell/action/move identifier and returns the command identifier assigned for it. It should be the correct match between the command and the animation number of steps. However, you only need two spells for the health and shock commands. If they work correctly with the Umaro's storm route, to use C2/1DBF may be unnecessary.

For this reason I'm not sure if I could continue my initial route or take this workaround? How would you explain changing what I thought was Health animation data does trigger the correct animation (e.g. Fire1) but does Health animation right after? Would Health animation be in fact 2x Cure2 animation? It's a bit of Kuga's call too but if I can't fix the 2nd animation or remove it might as well take Hatzen08 solution...

you make a counter to magic command.
Sure, if it's a matter of common sense, then it's another story...
