Change enemy battler graphic Options

[Tsukihime]

Is there a script to change the enemy battler graphic?
I tried enemy transform, but that requires more than just a new graphic. I just want to change the graphic.

It's a fixed battle so I know enemy's index in $game_troop.enemies

By default you cannot change the enemy graphics by itself, even with scripts.

One of our talented eventers can correct me if there's a way to event this, but I know how to script it easily

[Show/Hide] Step 1

You have two options here, either make a new script

CODE

class Game_Enemy
  attr_accessor :battler_name
end

or you can paste the code

CODE

  attr_accessor :battler_name

In Game_Enemy, like so:

( Just below the class Game_Enemy line )
I've also added the comments above the code.

Oh well, choose wisely, you can do both if you really want....

That set up the script editor to give us access to the battler graphic.

[Show/Hide] Step 2

The final step, go to the Troops tab of the database, make a condition for the graphic to change, and insert the code:

CODE

$game_troop.enemies[0].battler_name =
"055-Snake01"

Like so:

( Just a Script command ).
Where 1 means the 2nd enemy ( I believe you're familiar with how coding starts counting with 0? ), and 055-Snake01 is the name of the new graphic

And that did it for me

That's interesting, I didn't think battler_name would have anything to do with the actual graphic.

[Night_Runner]

battler_name is the name of the battler's graphic. Just don't think about it too much

I'll just be moving this over to Script Support then.
