Monster Reactions Options

[Logan110]

How would I go about getting monsters to react to certain skills used on them? I believe I could accomplish this with states, but I think there is an easier way to do this. If this is something I'll have to script feel free to move this thread.

You could have each skill call a different Common Event, and that Common Event would set the Attack Just Used variable to a certain number, but that wouldn't tell you which monster was targeted. If that part is important, I'm afraid that you're probably stuck using scripts or States.

Yea that would work for bosses and for next turn actions but not for regular monster groups and instant reactions.

Force Action (Immediate), Battle Animation, Change State, Change HP/SP, and Inflict Damage can be used variously to create reactions, but yes, for groups of different kinds of monsters, you'll need to use States or a script.
