Lesson 10 - Enemy Skills

• Copying an Enemy's Magic

Master Mage: "Well then, you war-mages will often notice that monsters sometimes use powers that might use magic. Ever wanted to copy them?"
Shadowtext: This is not going to use any items or anything. The enemy spell will be different from the Hero Spell. Maybe the hero spell will be preceded by a "$p" to add a little character thingy. Of couse, that isn't necesary, they can share the same name.

Master Mage: "You must study the spell in action, which requires watching the enemy. You must understand the spell, and know it completely."
Shadowtext: The watch event is kind of buggy, and it would be hard to implement. For now, I'll just have to show the "Blue Magic" learning style. Make the enemy use a "switch" magic for the "GrandTrain" switch. Remember that its only necesary to put this in the monster party of monsters that use this magic.

Battle Event "Cast GrandTrain"
Condition Switch."GrandTrain" = ON
vSuccessfulLearn = Random 1 * 100
ForkCondition vSuccessfulLearn 45 above
____ForkCondition Hero.Strago PartyNeed
________Switch."GrandTrain" On
____End Case
End Case

Then of course, add the monster's damage algorythm (affecting the heores instead of monsters.) And the spell "GrandTrain" can be a regular spell.

Master Mage: "After noticing the spell, you can memorize it."
Shadowtext: Have a Parralel Process to check if "GrandTrain" is On.

Common Event "Learn Skill"
ForkConditions Switch."GrandTrain" = ON
____ForkConditions Hero.Strago.SpecialSkill.GrandTrain known
________
____Else
________Message: "Strago learned 'Grand Train'"
________ChangeSkill.Strago.Memorize "Grand Train"
____End Case
End Case

Master Mage: "Copying is easy."
Shadowtext: Slow day....it's the Monday after a holiday. Don't worry, I'll work Labour Day. Tomorrow's Lesson -- Conditional Spells. As in "L5 Death" and things like that.
