Full Version: How to make my character transform?

Ok so I've been looking for an answer on how to transform my character for the past hour. The thing is I keep finding answers that refer to transoforming outside of battle but my character transforms during battle and it's a HUGE part of the game. Right now it's pretty much stopped all progress because he needs to be able to transform at will. When he transfrom's it's into a whole diffrent character with a diffrent class although he shares the same level as the character transforming. Can anyone explain to me how to do this with a skill?

In the Eventing box in the troops section, you can make a conditional branch of some sorts (I think) to make it so that if your character uses the skill, it will change his class, graphics, and name. Sadly, I have no clue if this will work or not because I don't currently have access to RMXP sad.gif

Yep, you got it right Redd, sometimes you can use switches / variables or Event pages, or even Common events to trigger this. So in battle it would be "Conditional Branch: Alex uses: Mortiphosis" "Trigger Switch 001:Change Char" -- this switch would consist of "Change Troop Graphic" -- after it's done you then switch the switch off, and you have your transformation, If it's just for one battle just go to Troop Graphic and go to i THINK the Second Event page, one says change graphic if i remember correctly.

I thought that you didn't get all the skills of the new class when you simply changed graphic/class_id...
Otherwise, the second script I made here was pretty useless...

Alright so I'm having some problems with this, even with the detailed explanations you guys gave me. The biggest problem is when I go too the conditional branch page, you can't choose for the character to use the skill only that they learned the skill. I thought there was a way too do it from the skill page itself, so that the skill would be able to transform the character and that's it. Seems like it's a bit more complicated than that lol.

Hi I don't mean to bump this up but I still really need help with this. It's more or less the main concept in the game so it's getting pretty hard to progress at this point.

Yeah sorry bro, I have no idea >.> I could probably come up with a solution if I had my copy of XP sad.gif
Just wait for someone else to help.

Yeah it would be pretty hard to come up with a solution without having the game in front of you lol. Thanks anyway though, I'm doing some searching now but I'm still hoping for an answer.

Hey thanks for this it looks like it could work but I'm probably doing something wrong. I followed all of the directions completley, even double checked each section.
"Tag the skill into the common event" Is the only aprt I did'nt quite understand. Did he mean to have using the skill activate the common event because if that's the case I did that. What happens when I use the skill in battle is that it completley misses even though the hit rate is at 100. Should it have a certain scope because I tried with the scope being the user and no scope?

Don't mean to bring this topic back up but I'm still having problems with it. I got my character to transform outside of battle but I still really, really need to be able to tranform inside of battle. At this point i'll even try with an item if it works since doing it with a skill seems near impossible.
