Fire emblem-style attacking stats display

[Nje789]

I'd like to have a display showing the damage you'd do, chance of hitting, and chance of critical, appearing as the select target window appears, changing to reflect what would happen as you move the selector to different enemies in the list. Just like in Fire Emblem games!

I just use four of less enemies, each considered their own group, so you'll always be able to select any of them for this.

So, anyone know how I might do this, or is it even possible?

That'd be difficult, because you wouldn't be able to display the stats using a direct effect, you'd have to make your own targeting system, which may screw things up even further.

I'd like my own targeting system. The default one sux, anyway.
You should be able to use any spell on both enemies AND allies, dammit!

I'm pretty familiar with the scripting system, too. I already know how to do a lot of stuff with it, and I understand what all the various commands do, and what each flag and variable is for.

Um... why would you want to cast something like Death on your allies?

Confuse. Sleep. There are a few statuses where you'd be better off attacking your own member instead of waiting the effect out.

And it is possible to have spells that target both, I'm very sure.

Hey, over-active mod: leave my posts the **** alone.

Can't even ask a damn question in my own damn help request thread..

I'd leave this waste of time forum if that stupid activation code from Doan the Nado's forum would actually get sent..

When I get pissed, I get really, effin' pissed..

You're overreacting. The board is malfunctioning is all. Posts don't normally get deleted if someone doesn't like them. They get edited.

No one deleted your post. The server is screwy, and posts are randomly disappearing and reappearing.

Re: Fire emblem-style attacking stats display

yes, please calm down. the server is going nuts right now, and posts randomly dissapear and then reappear later. we're in the process of fixing it, but its taking a lot longer, and a lot more effort than I originally expected.

Yeah. Listen to Optimus Prime/Valkysas. I mean, it's his site, after all.

uuuh, about being able to attack your own party members. You can go into the "Direct Effect and Indirect Effect Databases" after you have set up your spell and using either the Custom or Advanced tab(I forget which one sorry) you can use that(in conjunction with scipting) to be able to attack your own party members.
