Changing "Leap"

[Alby4t5]

One of the changes in my hack revolves around the Leap command. I plan on using the patch where Gau learns Rages through battle encounters instead of having to use Leap on the Veldt, so if possible I'd like to change it into an entirely new command. It sort of functions like I want it too, however it still has the Leap effect where Gau jumps off the screen and the battle ends after. Is there a way to stop him from doing this?

By removing certain portions of the Leap command, you can have a command that does almost nothing (animation-wise). You just have to NOP C2/19A1 to C2/19A5 and C2/19AB to C2/19AE.

Code:

C2/199D: BB           TYX
C2/199E: 20 8A 29     JSR $298A   (Clear special effect, magic power, etc.)
C2/19A1: A9 A8        LDA #$A8
C2/19A3: 8D A9 11     STA $11A9   (Store Leap in special effect)
C2/19A6: A9 01        LDA #$01
C2/19A8: 1C A2 11     TRB $11A2   (Sets to magical damage)
C2/19AB: A9 40        LDA #$40
C2/19AD: 85 BB        STA $BB     (Sets to Cursor start on enemy only)
C2/19AF: 4C 7B 31     JMP $317B
