Magic for temporary party members - fedorajoe - 11-28-2021 Has anyone developed a way to give a limited set of magic spells to temporary party members? Alternately, is it possible to make a temporary party member able to use the spells known by permanent active party members, as with Gogo? My thought was: it would be cool if you could have Kefka as a temporary party member while Terra is opening the Sealed Gate. (Obviously this would be an alliance of sheer convenience ha ha). I'd want his commands to be Fight, Magic, and Item. (Not sure what his "special" would be.) I've been out of the scene for a few years so I've probably missed many developments. Just tipping a toe back in and thinking about concepts. Thanks! RE: Magic for temporary party members - C-Dude - 11-28-2021 Gogo style magic is easier to do than a custom magic list. You can skip this menu part if you don't intend it to last more than one battle... Code: C3/0D3C: BD0000 LDA $0000,X ; Actor The big one is making sure that Umaro and guests use Gogo-style party magic. Code: (Pointer table) You might also be able to do an 'if guest, load from a ROM learned spell table instead of from a character RAM offset'. That would require a 0x36 entry table with 0xFF in each spell position the character is meant to know. I haven't tried something like that, though, so that's all hypothetical. The one patch MMMMMMagic might also let you give guest characters spell sets. I'm not as familiar with that one. RE: Magic for temporary party members - fedorajoe - 11-29-2021 Absolutely wonderful! Thank you so much for this great explanation! RE: Magic for temporary party members - casualtom - 11-29-2021 For a special ability, could just give him something like Drain or Osmose. Seems it would fit his character. Blink could also be an idea, since he can make body doubles. Only other idea I have would be just something like Bio Blast. Or maybe Control. RE: Magic for temporary party members - fedorajoe - 11-29-2021 Good thoughts, thank you! |
