hey
this is the stuff i do not understand about adding enemies using the ff9 hades workshop
So, about adding enemies, there are a few constraints and some step-by-step method to follow:
1) Copy the enemy you want to add (right-click), then go to the battle where you want to add him and paste.
2) Copy some attacks for that enemy: it is advised to copy/paste attacks from its original battle since then the sequencing and animations will match. You can get any other spell as well though (but then you need to modify the spell sequence or the animations will look weird).
3) Select those new attacks you copied and change their field "Animations" -> select the new enemy.
4) Similarly, select the new enemy and change its "Default Attack" to one of those you added (it's only used for Berserk/Confuse),
5) Modify at least one of the enemy Groups to include the new enemy in it.
6) Click on "Edit Entries", select the last entry named "Object" in the list, Add one entry (it will pop between that Object and Zidane's entry) and change the entry type to 2,
7) Modify the AI script to include an AI for your enemy. You might copy/paste the AI of the original battle sometimes (for regular enemies mainly) but you can also use a very basic AI:
7-a) Function Main_Init
Add a line "InitObject" with the new enemy's entry for the first argument and 128, 129, 130 or 131 for the second (one that is not taken already). If you added more than once of the new enemy inside the enemy group, add more lines like these.
Example: I added 2 Abominations in a battle with 1 Adamantoise and so I added the two last "InitObject" lines
Code: [Select]
Function Main_Init
InitObject( 1, 128 )
InitObject( 2, 129 )
InitObject( 2, 130 )
return
7-b) Add a function of type 0 (Main) for your enemy's entry (right-click on the function list for that). Nothing absolutly required there so you can just write a single "return" and parse.
Example: I let this example so you don't forget to add a main function nor a "return" line.
Code: [Select]
Function Abomination_Init
return
7-c) Add a function of type 5 (ATB).
You're not forced to make an AI as complicated as the ones the game has. You can go with something as simple as a "GetRandom" for selecting the attack and basic SV_Target selection.
Example: My Abomination has two different attacks: Silent Slap which is single-target and Fira which is Multi-target. I make it so Silent Slap is used 2/3 of the time and Fira the remaining third.
Code: [Select]
Function Abomination_ATB
if ( GetRandom % 3 ) {
set SV_Target = RandomInTeam(SV_PlayerTeam)
Attack( 4 )
return
}
set SV_Target = SV_PlayerTeam
Attack( 5 )
return
7-d) Counter, CounterEx, Loop and Death functions are optionnal.
i did number 1 fine about adding the enemy, i did number 2 fine, but the other stuff i do not understand very well and i tried your very old ff9 steam mod, but it froze at the title screen and nothing happen and when i tried to open up your very old ff9 steam mod on hades it crashed it each time
