Version: 1.1
Type: Adds Realism
Key Term: Battle Add-on
Introduction
Script was created completely from inspiration.
Flying Enemies adds some realism to your game. It basically gives the appearance and feel that enemies are floating off the ground. Only weapons with the "flying" element can attack enemies that aren't on the ground. e.g. a gun or a bow. A guy with a sword couldn't very well jump 20 feet and kill something could they? (maybe, it is just a game)
Features
- Flying Enemies
- Specific Spells and Weapons can hurt
- Floating animation for enemies

# Flying Enemies adds some realism to your game. It basically gives the
# appearance and feel that enemies are floating off the ground. Only weapons
# with the "flying" element can attack enemies that aren't on the ground. e.g.
# a gun or a bow. A guy with a sword couldn't very well jump 20 feet and kill
# something could they? (maybe, it is just a game)
#
# Features:
# -Flying Enemies
# -Specific Spells and Weapons can hurt
# -Floating animation for enemies
#
# Instructions:
# -Go to the config, set the following data there. To make a weapon hit a flying
# enemy, you must give it the flying element you specified below. The same for
# skills, except some skills get exceptions. Read Notes.
#
# Notes:
# -Only weapons marked with the Flying_Element can hit a flying enemy.
# -Only skills with the flying element can hit flying enemies.
#
# Compatibility:
# -Not tested with SDK.
# -Not tested with any custom battle systems.
# -Attacking flying enemies (and missing) will most likely work throughout all
# custom battle systems.
# -Animating enemy up and down may or may not work in any custom battle system.
