Detailed Description:

I was going to try to do this via the rmxp's events but I'm not getting feedback on how to do it and I've looked over it a few times, so I'm thinking I need a script that can do the following:

I'm trying to make a thorough enemy healer, and I'm not entirely sure how to accomplish it. I think I've got how to make it so the healer will revive fellow enemies if they die (used a conditional branch, which then forces the healer enemy to use life on that particular enemy.)

However, now I'm trying to figure out how to make it so the healer will use a single target healing spell when one of its allies is reduced to a certain percentage of hp. I know you can set enemies to use skills when -they- are at a certain % of hp, but I'm not sure how to do it for when other enemies in their 'troop' are at a certain % of hp.

Secondly, I want to know how to make it so that the healer will use a spell to remove statuses on one of its allies if it is inflicted with a status ailment. The spell the enemy will use is a spell that heals almost all statuses, so I just need a way of triggering the spell to be cast on the right person.

Also, should I have the 'reviving skill' and the healing spell and the removing status spell in the 'enemy's' skill list, or only listed in the troops command/event list page?

Sorry if this is confusing, let me know if I can clarify.

Not that good a scripting, but may I throw out an idea?
I know within the "troops" database you can set certain events to happen at certain times. For example, on turn 1 cast shield, turn two say some flavor text and what not. Could you use that to set up what you are talking about?

Something to effect of if mob1 hp is below 10 force attack mob two to heal mob 1?

 

[Silencher]

Well I looked through the events and there is a way to do it if the caster is reduced to a certain % of HP, but I didn't find anywhere that it would work for another enemy's hp reduced to a certain %

It's actually not as hard as it seems just a little hidden.

 Go into the Database Manager:

     - Click Troops Tab

          Look under -Battle Events-

               Click Condition: >

                    Make sure the Enemy > check box is clicked

                         Enemy> Choose a monster in the troop to track

                         <%> Set your percent

                         Click OK

               Click Span: >

                    Set to > Turn

          In the events section:

               Right Click : Insert (or double click)

                    Go to the 3rd Tab

                         Click on 'Force Action' (2nd Row, 9th Down)

                              -Battler-

                                   Enemy> The monster using heal

                              -Action-

                                   Click Skill> Heal

                              -Action Target-

                                   Set to the Index # of the monster being healed

                              Leave the rest the same

                              Click OK

     Click OK

Just create a page like this for each monster in your troop.

ah sweet thanks a lot. That solves the healing issues at least.

Is there a way to do the status curing thing?

 

[JoshC]

First off I made some modifications to the Event Set in my previous post so be sure to look at it, or you might wind up with some random actions.

Also Note, that along with the heal ability if you want to set a monster to revive fallen monsters, just set a conditional branch in the Events page stating if the enemy is knockout status then use revive else heal.

As for Status Conditons:

Go into your Database Manager

     -Click on Troops Tab

          Create a new Events Tab

               Under Condition:

                    Click the Enemy Check Box and put it at 99%

               Change Span to Turn

               In the Events Box:

                    Use A Conditional Branch

                         Click the 3rd Tab and Check Enemy is

                              Enemy > To the Enemy being watched

                              Click the Status Button

                                   Change to the Status your going to remove

                              Un-check Set handling when conditions do not apply

                         Click OK

                    Click Events: Force Action

                         -Battler-

                              Enemy > using skill

                         -Action-

                              Skill > That heals

                         -Action Target-

                              > Index of the Enemy to be healed

                         Leave the rest the same

                    Click OK

     Click OK

I would have just set all the enemies' hp to a variable, then if you were below a certain number, use the troop event list to "force action" your healer to use a skill on them. You can do the same thing for states, but instead just use a conditional branch to check to see if the state is applied.

It's not that tough... I'm using VX, but still. It took a bit to rummage through how to figure this out. Also: JoshC, I have no idea what you mean by "
# Click Condition: >
# Make sure the Enemy > check box is clicked
# Enemy> Choose a monster in the troop to track
# <%> Set your percent
# Click OK

That honestly means nothing to me. "Make sure the Enemy > Check box is clicked"? I'm not sure where you found the "Make sure the Enemy" option at under the condition tab, but I'd like to know.



EDIT: I'm a dumbass. I just realized what you meant by that. I'll leave that stupid comment up there though so you can laugh. : ) Sorry. That works a lot better than my way, by the way. XD Durhh.

Ok, I'll only laugh for the first second but I see where someone might get confused by that. At first glance I thought you were being sarcastic. lol
