Here it is:

Paste it in a new page above Main. However, your old savefiles will not work. Should be compatible with other scripts since I alias anything. Not tested with SDK.

Let me know if there's any error.

 

[Slaaperz]

It works fine! BUT there is one problem.. in my game the player can choose heros gender so how i can make transforming to work with both genders?
:D

 

[Exsharaen]

How do you choose heroes gender? By script or by event? (Do you store it in a game variable?)

Basically, my script works for the first actor in your party (you stated that there was only one hero in your game anyway), no matter what the actor gender is. Tell me if you need different transformation for male and female (e.g. Arshes becomes cat but Gloria becomes dog).

That's why I need to know how do you choose gender in your game, so I can merge my script instead.

 

[Slaaperz]

Gender change is based on events..
i think its cool if they just stay in the same form but if they transform they come back to theyr own gender... XD

(sorry for i replyed so late)

 

[SephirothSpawn]

I am working on a pretty complicated transfomration script. It can change you into another actor, or just change your graphic and stats to whatever.

I will look over this topic and add any features I can into it. If you guys have any ideas, just let me know.

 

[Exsharaen]

Ah, what a coincidence! You can take it over from here Seph

OK Slaaperz, you now have a choice. You can continue using my script (which will only fit your needs), or you can wait patiently for SephirothSpawn's script (which, believe me, will exceed your needs).

Oh, and for the ideas, how if... transforming can be done more than once, meeting some requirements to do so? Let's say at level 10 Arshes can transform to a cat, then at level 20 he can transform to cat then tiger. This might have a slight effect to Arshes' stat...

 

[SephirothSpawn]

I didn't mean to steal your thunder btw Exsharaen. If you want to still do this, or maybe even work together on this, I would be more than happy to work with you. Sorry if I offened you in anyway. If you are interested in working together on this, let me know. We can get on msn or something and merge our brains if you so wish.

That sounds like a pretty neat idea. Another requirement checking system horray. Oh no wait, I am just going to make a requirement module, rather than reworking it over and over. Horray for more junk to throw in the MACL.

 

[Exsharaen]

No Seph, you didn't offend me in any ways. I was about to leave this forum temporarily that I was very excited you wanted to make similar script. Maybe I used wrong words then, silly me ^_^;

Working together? I'd be honored and I'd love to, but as I said before, I must go for now (gotta work on my final project). Alas, I'm not an SDK-scripter FYI.

BTW isn't MACL Trickster's? I really don't know if you are him or he is you or both!

@Slaaperz (so this won't go out of topic :D):
Soo... how do I know if Arshes is male or female? Via a variable or a switch?

 

[zzzdude]

Actually, you can use events to do this, very simple in fact.

First, you need to decide which key to use.

The keys that I suggest would be:
Shift or Z (A)
A (X)
S (Y)
D (Z)
Q (L)
W (R)

Any of these will work, just decide which one will best suite this.

you need to make two switches, one for activation, and another to switch between animal and human.

Go to common events, and make a new one, call it whatever, and make it so it is a conditional branch, then, on the last tab, choose button, select the respective one you want (The ones I put in parenthesis)
No, we simply make another conditional branch inside of that one, and that is if the switch for switching between animal and human is ON
ON will be animal, and OFF will be human.
So, if it is ON, then simply make the action under this conditional branch be change actor graphic, select the sprites for the character. and then a event that turns this switch OFF
Under ELSE you want to change actor graphic, make it be the animal sprite, and then turn the switch ON

under trigger on the common event you want it to be parallel and the switch that allows wether or not you have that ability.

now, once that switch is on, it will allow you to push the button of your choice to transform your character.

Ok, so that is the basics.
You can expand that to be much more complex.

I hope this made you understand what they were talking about.

 

[Exsharaen]

Read the whole thread carefully. Someone (including I) have suggested using common events (which apparently works), but s/he prefers to script. Besides, it will change only the actor chara (i.e. what appears in the map); actor battler won't. As s/he said, it would be silly to see your character to be a cat in the world map but still humanly wo/man in the battle

I wonder if SephirothSpawn has completed his transformation script?

 

[Reaper*]

Exsharaen the script you posted will work only on one character or on the given graphic only?

 

[Exsharaen]

Yes, it will only work on one actor (since Slaaperz only has one actor for the entire game), and the lucky number one is the first actor in your party (the one that will appear in any map). S/He'll be transformed only into one form, which is determined at the beginning of the script.

However...

With some edit, I'm sure it will also work on anybody on the party

 

[Reaper*]

Or it can be edited to show on an actor by number not his characterset and battler
