Is there a way?

[Dokopop]

I know im not good at explaining things. In classes is there a way to make the thief fight with the great sword. Like I want the bird man to have an axe, and I want the beast guy to have a bow. Ok lets say my beast was the leader, I want my leader to be an archer. Every time I go into battle, my beast character turn into a human with a bow. What im I doing wrong?

Just read the first sticky post.

Unfortunately, in the case of the bow, everyone meant to use swinging weapons will swing thier bows instead of shoot arrows. I assume this case, since bow-wielding people will shoot their swords.

That is pretty F---ed up, but still, kinda cool! It gives you a sort of unique weapon we can use, since we cant use fists or guns or any of that other stuff...arrow shooting swords are kind of original, right?

Yeah, but it's just stupid if you ask me...

I'm really disappointed with the way weapons are handled in RPGM3, with the trick we can make almost any character use almost any weapon (And it looks good), so it makes no sense that we're limited to using one weapon per model. It's not like it would've been hard for Enterbrain to give all the models animations for all the weapons (Plus using shields, since shields are now useless for my game... I have one character who's model can use a shield, and she isn't supposed to have one...), then again it wouldn't have been hard to add the ability to move NPCs via events or allow you to use the same ones in multiple towns...

OKay...Dragonsbrethren, you are right. I suppose I should edcuate myself more before making a statement. I hadn't gotten to try it yet, so I thought maybe the thief and archer would shoot arrows from the sword, not look like they are drawing the sword as a bow and shooting arrows. Yeah...that is pretty lame. Sorry for my prior post. Thought it was gonna look cooler.

Re: Is there a way?

Yeah I am kinda dissapointed in the skill editor too. It is ok but I can't throw fireballs. I can only throw the throwable things. It would be better if you could throw everything. Also it isn't very adnvanced. That is one thing I understood completley in RPG Maker 2. I could do a whole lot more with the special effects editor. I think they should make a version of that in RPG Maker 4 (if they do make rpg maker 4 and release it in the US.

I guess I can probably throw a sword though.

Re: Is there a way?

It's freakin ridiculous that you can only use certain weapons with certain character models. Ebterbrain/Agetec messed up on that one BIG time IMO.

Re: Is there a way?

I could've sworn I saw an effect similar to fireball being thrown, DBZ-style.

Re: Is there a way?

Yeah I saw that. But I mean with the throw option on. You can only do rock, pebble, bomb, dynamite, and knife. I would have liked a fireball so I could make a better version of a volcano rock being thrown. But yeah if I want to make the kameha wave I could do that farely easily.

So far the only person I saw that could do an attack that looked like the kamehameha wave is done by the old looking guy with cups attacked to his hands. Either way it wouldn't be too hard to make a move that looks like one.
So your right it is farely easy. BTW it is bull **** that you can't throw fireballs. They could of at least let us have more things to throw.

Re: Is there a way?

I got it to work. The reason why I wanted to change weapons is to change animation. Like I wanted the townsman 2 to have a tofa animation, and I know that will never happend.
