Lesson 4 - Random Effects

• Wild Magic

Master Mage: "Especially when working with Chaotic Mana, it can be hard ot know exactly what will happen. You should catalog a list of spells in your mind, and then you'll know what will likely be one of them.

Shadowtext: These are great for summon spells. Remember how Odin could do Gungnir or Zantetsuken? Or, for FF8 fans, how Gilgamesh could do Zantetsuken, Excalibur, Excalipur and some other? Well now you too can have a multi-spell summoned monster.


Master Mage: "Okay, now for the cataloguing.

Shadowtext: Yes. Well, you can't enact normal spells, so all of these will have to be Algorythmic. Which means we need to use the skills from Lessons 2 and 3. So, let's just use the actual spells from them. Remember?

Common Event "Awake"; Parallel Process
Condition: Switch."Awake" = ON
vSuccess = RandomNumber 1 * 100
ForkCondition "Variable 00002: vSuccess" Above 70
____ChangeCondition.CancelCondition.Sleep
End Case
Switch: "Awake" = OFF

Battle Event "Drop"
Event Condition: Switch."Drop_Spell" = ON
ShowBattleAnimation "Drop"
vDamage = Hero.Mage.Defense Power
vDamage = vDamage * 2
vMind = Hero.Mage.Mind Force
vMind = vMind - 5
vDamage = vDamage + vMind
vDamage = vDamage * 10
vEnemy = Enemy.Enemy1.Defense
vEnemy = vEnemy - Enemy.Enemy1.MindForce
vDamage = vDamage / vEnemy
ChangeEnemyHP.HP_Strict.Variable 00002: vDamage

Master Mage: "For now, we'll just use two, but it is very easy to add more, and to use different spells

Shadowtext: What he said. Now for the random spells. It's just basically the Random Number variable, and any effects you want to add.

Battle Event "Random Spell"
Condition: Switch "Random" = ON
vSpellCast = Random Number 1 * 100
Fork Conditions vSpellCast Above 50
____ShowBattleAnimation "Drop"
____vDamage = Hero.Mage.Defense Power
____vDamage = vDamage * 2
____vMind = Hero.Mage.Mind Force
____vMind = vMind - 5
____vDamage = vDamage + vMind
____vDamage = vDamage * 10
____vEnemy = Enemy.Enemy1.Defense
____vEnemy = vEnemy - Enemy.Enemy1.MindForce
____vDamage = vDamage / vEnemy
____ChangeEnemyHP.HP_Strict.Variable 00002: vDamage
Else
____Message: "Casts Awaken"
____ForkCondition "Variable 00011: vSuccess" Above 70
________ChangeCondition.CancelCondition.Sleep
End Case
Switch "Random" = OFF

Master Mage: "It's easy enough to perform even more complex spells from that example, is it not?

Shadowtext: He's right. But if there are any questions, don't feel embarassed, its pretty advanced stuff.
