[RESOLVED]Changing the enemy's graphic

[darkcieran]

I'm looking to change a monster's battler graphic. I'm not transforming it, just change it, i tried using@data_enemies[1].battler_name, but it didn't work. any ideas or did i mess up somewhere?

I think i get what you mean but are you trying to change it in battle?

 

[darkcieran]

i have a boss that's a clam and every so often it goes into it's shell and is impervious to attack then comes out of the shell. i don't want to do the whole transform thing because that would make it a WHOLE other monster and i would have to more step than i'd want to make that work.

How do you make it impervious to attack?

First of all you need to say to RMXP that you want to be able to change a battler's graphics' name. To do that, just add this somwhere above main.
[ruby]class Game_Battler
  attr_accessor :battler_name
end
[/ruby]
Now, during combat, just make a call script that says :
[ruby]$game_troop.enemies[enemy_id].battler_name = "battler name"
[/ruby]
Of course, change enemy_id and "battler name" to real values.
To bring it back to normal, do the same thing.

thank you very much, micko. :rock: that really helped out. you'd think they'd have that feature in there when they made the program. would've been convenient :down:

[ruby]$game_troop.enemies[enemy_id].battler_name = "battler name"

It's not Enemy ID, it's enemy INDEX (the position of the enemy on the troop)
