Need a basic Scan spell ability

[Master Felinious]

Hi! I'm new around here, and I've searched all around for a tutorial where I can give my characters a scan ability (like in the Final Fantasy games) But All I seem to find are tutorials meshed inside others adding other features that I neither want nor need.

So I basically need:
A spell that scans an enemy, any enemy that the character selects, then displays that particular enemies' HP, SP, STR, DEX, AGI, etc.

Would anyone be willing to help me out?

You'll need a script for it. Unfortunately, Trickster was too lazy to upload the script, and as we had a forum switch, the demo links are broken. So you'll have to ask someone else for it.

Here's the link to the topic anyway.

(By the way... wrong section.)

Oops! Well thanks for that little heads up.

Add the following line to Scene_Battle 3, update_phase3_enemy_select method (line 277)

       # added for "Show Enemy Stats" skill / common event
       $game_variables[4] = @active_battler.current_action.target_index + 1

This will set game variable 4 to the index of the selected enemy

Create a skill (I'll call it Show Enemy Stats)
Scope: One Enemy
Occasion: Only in Battle
Common Event: 005: Show Enemy Stats
SP Cost: your decision
Power: 0
Hit Rate: 100
Variance: 0

Now, create the common event..

@>Conditional Branch: Variable[0004: active enemy] == 1
   @>Control Variables: [0006: Enemy HP] = [1.]'s HP
   @>Control Variables: [0007: Enemy SP] = [1.]'s SP
   @>Control Variables: [0008: Enemy STR] = [1.]'s STR
   @>
 : Branch End
@>Conditional Branch: Variable[0004: active enemy] == 2
   @>Control Variables: [0006: Enemy HP] = [2.]'s HP
   @>Control Variables: [0007: Enemy SP] = [2.]'s SP
   @>Control Variables: [0008: Enemy STR] = [2.]'s STR
   @>
 : Branch End
@>Text: Enemy \v[4] HP: \v[6]
       : Enemy \v[4] SP: \v[7]
        :Enemy \v[4] STR: \v[8]
@>

Add the skill to one of your actors, and test it out.

Be Well

Thanks! I'll try it out and see the results!
