~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
i. What is a fork condition?

A fork condition is an event that allows you to make the game take a
different turn depending on what your character (the player) has already
done. You can make small changes - such as getting a different item, or
large changes - such as a character living or dying, if you know how to
operate fork conditions. This can be a powerful (and perhaps necessary) tool
to avoid linearity in your homemade RPG.

In this tutorial, I will try to explain all the ways that a fork
condition can be used. In all, there are 10 main options for fork
conditions, each of which can be used for a different purpose. How you use
them in your game is, obviously, your decision. I can give you the key, but
you must open the door. (Don't take that literally... I'm not giving out
keys.)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ii. How do fork conditions work? Part 1: The Switch

To use a fork condition, you must first decide the 'cause' before
determining the 'effect'. The best example is the first option - the switch.
Open the fork conditions event, and you will see a list of conditions.
On the first page is:

O Switch: _______________[...]- ____[v]
O Variable: _______________[...]-
O Set: _____[v]
O Variable: ___________[...]
__________[v]
O Timer: ____[v] min ____[v] sec ____[v]
O Money: ____[v] _______[v]

For now, we will concentrate on 'switch'. Click the circle for switch,
then press the [...] button beside the first box. You will be taken to a
list of your game's switches. Choose one, and press 'OK' (for the tutorial,
we will say you chose the first switch on your list, named 'ThisSwitch').
Back on the Conditions page, make sure the other switch box says 'ON', and
make sure 'add ELSE case' is also checked, and press ok. Back on the 'Events
Commands' box, you will now see:

<> FORK Optn:Switch [0001: ThisSwitch] - ON
<>
:ELSE Case
<>
:END Case
<>

Now, you have determined the 'cause'. The second line down, with the
'<>', is where you define the 'effects' of what happens if the switch
conditions are met (In this case, what happens if Switch: ThisSwitch is ON).
For example, lets say, if ThisSwitch is on, you recieve one of the item named
'fenix down'. Go into 'Add Item' and make it happen. Now, it looks like
this:

<> FORK Optn:Switch [0001: ThisSwitch] - ON
<> Add/Remove Item:Fenix Down-> 1 Incr.
<>
:ELSE Case
<>
:END Case

But what happens if Switch: ThisSwitch is not on? You define that under
':ELSE Case'. Lets say a sound effect plays. You click on the '<>' line
under ':ELSE Case', and choose a sound effect. The event should now look
like this:

<> FORK Optn:Switch [0001: ThisSwitch] - ON
<> Add/Remove Item:Fenix Down-> 1 Incr.
<>
:ELSE Case
<> Play SE: Failure1
<>
:END Case
<>

You have now completed a simple fork condition. However, perhaps you
wish something to happen after the fork, something that happens no matter
whether Switch: ThisSwitch is on. That's where ':END Case' comes in. ':END
Case' means that is the end of the fork condition. Anything you plase after
that will happen if Switch: ThisSwitch is ON or OFF. For example, you want
the hero to jump up and down at the end of the event. Click the '<>' line
after ':END Case', and make the appropriate move event. Afterwards, it will
look something like this:

<> FORK Optn:Switch [0001: ThisSwitch] - ON
<> Add/Remove Item:Fenix Down-> 1 Incr.
<>
:ELSE Case
<> Play SE: Failure1
<>
:END Case
<> Move Event...: Hero, Start Jump, End Jump
<>

This is a simple example of a 'Switch' fork condition... However,
Remember the 'Add ELSE Case' that was checked on the Conditions list? Click
on the '<> FORK Optn:Switch [0001: ThisSwitch] - ON' line, and press the
space key to edit the event. Now, uncheck the 'Add ELSE Case' button, and
press OK. The event will now look like this:

<> FORK Optn:Switch [0001: ThisSwitch] - ON
<> Add/Remove Item:Fenix Down-> 1 Incr.
<>
:END Case
<> Move Event...: Hero, Start Jump, End Jump
<>

An event such as this would be useful if something extra happens when the
switch is on, but without it, only what comes after (in this case, the move
event) will occur. This could also be used as a parallel process event, if
you have nothing after ':End CASE'. This way, it will not happen UNTIL the
switch is turned on. As always, you will need to turn of the event using a
switch or a variable.

There is still more that can be done using just the switch option. For
example, what would you do if you wanted something to occur if 2 switches are
on? Or 3, maybe? The first thing you do is make a fork condition, as
before, with 'Add ELSE Case' checked.

<> FORK Optn:Switch [0001: ThisSwitch] - ON
<>
:ELSE Case
<>
:END Case
<>

Now, you click the first '<>' line, meaning that you choose what happens
if Switch: ThisSwitch is ON. This time, however, make another fork
condition, occuring if a second switch is on (In this case, it is the second
switch on the list, 'ThatSwitch'). The event will now look like this:


<> FORK Optn:Switch [0001: ThisSwitch] - ON
<> FORK Optn:Switch [0002: ThatSwitch] - ON
<>
:ELSE Case
<>
:END Case
<>
:ELSE Case
<>
:END Case
<>

Here is where it can start to get tricky... listen closely. The first
'<>' like is where you decide what happens if both Switch: ThisSwitch and
Switch: ThatSwitch are on. The second '<>' line is what happens if only
Switch: ThisSwitch is on, and Switch: ThatSwitch is off, because it is after
the Fork determining that ThisSwitch is on, but it is in the else case of the
fork determining that ThatSwitch is on, therefore meaning in this case,
ThatSwitch is off. The third '<>' line is what happens if neither switch is
on, and the final '<>' is what will happen after the forks no matter what.

...But what if you want something to occur when ThatSwitch is ON, but
ThisSwitch is OFF? You add another Fork Condition in the ':ELSE Case' of the
first fork (meaning that it occurs if ThisSwitch is off). It would look like
this:

<> FORK Optn:Switch [0001: ThisSwitch] - ON
<> FORK Optn:Switch [0002: ThatSwitch] - ON
<>
:ELSE Case
<>
:END Case
<>
:ELSE Case
<> FORK Optn:Switch [0002: ThatSwitch] - ON
<>
:ELSE Case
<>
:END Case
<>
:END Case
<>

Following this pattern, you could make an event look for many, many
switches, to check which of them are on or off. As you can no doubt see, you
can make a game very non-linear with only one option of a fork condition.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
iii. How do fork conditions work? Part 2: The Variable

However, there are still many options to explore. Next on the list is
the Variable. Return to the Conditions list, and you will see this page
again:

O Switch: _______________[...]- ____[v]
O Variable: _______________[...]-
O Set: _____[v]
O Variable: ___________[...]
__________[v]
O Timer: ____[v] min ____[v] sec ____[v]
O Money: ____[v] _______[v]

This time, click the circle next to the 'Variable' option. As before,
Click the [...] button next to the first box to decide which variable you
will use. For an example, we'll use the first variable on the list, named
'ExampleVar'. Choose the variable, and press 'OK'. Back on the conditions
list, you'll notice three sub-options under Variable.

O Set: _____[v]
O Variable: ___________[...]
__________[v]

(The 'Set' box should say 0, and the third box will most likely say
'Same' now that you have the Variable option chosen) The 'Set' box is where
you choose a number for it to relate to (how it is compared to the variable
is decided by the third box)... for now, we'll make this '2'. On the other
hand, you could choose the circle next to the second 'Variable' option. This
would mean the number is decided by what that other vairable is at... If you
used this, you could quite possibly connect all the variables, and form an
endless circle... but for now, we'll stick with the 'Set' option. In the
final box, you will see a list of words: "Same, Above, Below, Bigger,
Smaller, Others'. These determine how the fork condition relates the state
of the variables... Here is what they mean:

Same: This means the variable must be an exact match of the number
chosen... so in this case, the fork condition is that the Variable:
ExampleVar MUST be 2.

Above: The Variable must be equal to or greater than the chosen number.
In our example, the condition is if ExampleVar is 2 or above.

Below: The Variable must be equal to or less than the chosen number. In
our example, the condition is if ExampleVar is 2 or below.

Bigger: If the 'Bigger' option is used, the Variable must be greater than
the chosen number. In this case, the variable would have to be more than 2.

Smaller: This means the Variable must be less than the chosen number. In
this case, the variable would have to be less than 2.

Others: 'Other's means the variable must be anything other than the
chosen number, in the example, anything as long as it isn't 2.

For now, choose the 'above' option, make sure 'Add ELSE Case' is checked,
and click OK. On the Events Conditions box, it should show:

<> FORK Optn:Varbl[0001:ExampleVar]-2abov
<>
:ELSE Case
<>
:END Case
<>

This is almost identical to the Fork Condition with the 'Switch' option.
The first '<>' line is if the Variable: ExampleVar is 2 or more, the second
'<>' line is if it is not, and the third '<>' line is what happens in the end
in either case. Variable Forks are used the same way as Switch forks with
the addition of the 'Same/Above/Below/Bigger/Smaller/Others' option, so if
you need further help on how this works, refer back to the Switch section.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
iv. How do fork conditions work? Part 3: The Timer

Return to the Conditions screen, and you'll see this page again:

O Switch: _______________[...]- ____[v]
O Variable: _______________[...]-
O Set: _____[v]
O Variable: ___________[...]
__________[v]
O Timer: ____[v] min ____[v] sec ____[v]
O Money: ____[v] _______[v]

This time, click the circle next to 'Timer'. In the first box, you
determine the number of minutes, and in the second, the number of seconds.
In the third box, you choose whether the it should occur when it is 'above'
or 'below' the time you determined. For now, make both minutes and seconds
set to '0', and the condition 'below' - this will make it so that it will
occur when the timer runs out. To make this particular scenario work,
uncheck 'Add ELSE Case', and press OK. You will see:

<> FORK Optn:Timer 0m.00s.less
<>
:END Case
<>

Make it a parallel process event, and whatever you put within the fork
option will only occur when the timer runs out. An example of using a timer
with an else case is a door that only opens when the timer reaches a certain
time. On the first '<>' line, you would put a teleport event, and on the
second '<>' line, a sound effect such as Failure1, and perhaps a message
saying the door won't budge.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
v. How do fork conditions work? Part 4: Money

O Switch: _______________[...]- ____[v]
O Variable: _______________[...]-
O Set: _____[v]
O Variable: ___________[...]
__________[v]
O Timer: ____[v] min ____[v] sec ____[v]
O Money: ____[v] _______[v]

By now, you probably know the fork conditions screen well. The final
option on the first page of conditions is 'money'. Click the circle next to
the 'money' option, and then choose an amount... 100 is fine for an example.
On the second box, you choose whether the player needs to have 'above' that
amount, or 'below' that amount. When you press OK, the page will look
something like this:

<> FORK Optn:Money 100abov
<>
:ELSE Case
<>
:END Case
<>

As always, the first '<>' line should contain what happens when you DO
have 100 gold or more, and the second '<>' line is what happens if you don't.
The third is what happens at the end, regardless of which option is
encountered.

The money fork condition can be used to make your own shop. You could
start with a 'Show Choice' event as a list of items, then have fork options
under each choice to make sure the character has enough money to buy the item.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
vi. How do fork conditions work? Part 5: The Item

Now, we finally reach the second page of conditions. Open the Fok
Condition event, and click on the '2' tab at the top. You will now see a new
list of options:

O Item: ______________[v]- _______[v]
O Hero: ______________[v]
___________________________[...]
O Event: ______________[v]- ___[v] Face Dir
O Vehicle: _______[v] Ride
O Started by Decision Key
O Play BGM Once

We'll start at the top: Click the circle next to the 'Item' option. You
will see that the first box is where you choose the item in question. As an
example, we'll say you choose 'Fenix Down'. In the second box, you define
the condition, by choosing 'Has it', or 'Doesn't have it'... I think these
are pretty much self explanatory. Choose, 'Has it', and you'll get this:

<> FORK Optn:Fenix Down Item Got
<>
:ELSE Case
<>
:END Case
<>

The first line is what happens if you have a Fenix Down, the second is if
you don't, and the third is what happens afterword, as always. This Fork
condition is useful in saving yourself from making extra switches or
variables when you recieve an item.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
vii. How do fork conditions work? Part 6: Hero Options

Go back to the second page of conditions, and you're faced with this page
again:

O Item: ______________[v]- _______[v]
O Hero: ______________[v]
___________________________[...]
O Event: ______________[v]- ___[v] Face Dir
O Vehicle: _______[v] Ride
O Started by Decision Key
O Play BGM Once

This time, you click the 'Hero' circle, and you can choose options
regarding one or more of your heroes (to do more than one, use the same trick
explained in part ii). To begin, choose the hero you want from the first
box. For the second box, click the [...] button, and you will be taken to a
list of options:

Is in hero party: This one is self explanatory.

Name =: This could be used if you change your hero's name... the fork
option is if his/her name is what you type, or not.

Level: If your hero is at or above the level you determine, the fork
option is recognized.

HP: If your hero is at or above the HP you determine, the fork option is
recognized.

Special Skill: You choose from the list of skills, and if the hero
chosen knows the skill, what you choose under the fork option will occur.

Item: This is a useful option - the only way to check the hero's
equipment, rather than the items in the inventory.

Condition: You choose from the list of condition, and the fork condition
happens if the hero you chose has that condition.

After choosing one of the above options, something like this will appear
in the 'Events Conditions' box:

<> FORK Optn:Alex- Poison is in condition
<>
:ELSE Case
<>
:END Case
<>

The Hero option can be very useful in determining something about your
characters... for example, if someone is dead, you don't want them to be able
to talk.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
viii. How do fork conditions work? Part 7: Direction

Back on the second make of the conditions:

O Item: ______________[v]- _______[v]
O Hero: ______________[v]
___________________________[...]
O Event: ______________[v]- ___[v] Face Dir
O Vehicle: _______[v] Ride
O Started by Decision Key
O Play BGM Once

Next is the 'Event' option. From the first box, you can choose any event
on the current map, including the hero. In the second are the options Up,
Right, Down, Left... with this option, you can make a fork depending on which
direction the hero is facing. This can be very useful, especially if you
plan to use real-time battles. The fork will look something like this on the
event list:

<> FORK Optn:Hero- Up Face Direct
<>
:ELSE Case
<>
:END Case
<>

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ix. How do fork conditions work? Part 8: The Final Three

O Item: ______________[v]- _______[v]
O Hero: ______________[v]
___________________________[...]
O Event: ______________[v]- ___[v] Face Dir
O Vehicle: _______[v] Ride
O Started by Decision Key
O Play BGM Once

As you can see, there are three final options left for fork conditions:
Vehicle, Started by Decision Key, and Play BGM Once. Vehicle is semple
enough - you choose one, and the fork condition happens if you are riding
that vehicle. There is little use I know of for 'Started by decision key'.
For example, in the following event:

<> FORK Optn:Start by Decision Key
<> Messg: bla bla bla
:ELSE Case
<> Messg: blee blee blee
:END Case
<>

...You will only see the message "bla bla bla" if the event is set to
'push key', and "blee blee blee" if it is anything else. As for Play BGM
(BackGround Music) Once, well... it happens if the BGM has played one
complete round.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

conditions well, and be able to apply them in your RPG.

و هذا درس عن كيفية صنع باب يقفل و يفتح بسهولة تامة



I made this tutorial cause I was at the tutorials one day,
and I was browsing through them. Then I saw "How to make a door".
I already knew how to make a door, but
I read it to see how the other people did it.
They made it sound complicated. Really, it's not.
But here it is: How to Make a Door Made Super Easy.

STEP 1
OK, make a new event. Set the graphic as a door from
the "Objects" chara set. Set the activation thing as Hero Touch.
STEP 2
In the event list, make a Set Chara movement.
Set object character as "this Event." Make the frequency 5.
Add these movements into the list:

FaceRight
FaceUp
FaceLeft

You could also put an SE of a door opening at the top if you want to.

Click OK. Back at the event list, put a wait for 0.5 seconds.
Then put a teleport to the map you want to teleport to.

You can put an SE for the door closing after the teleport event.

**Tada!** You have a door.

لمن يهمه الأمر عن كيفية صنع غيوم أو سحاب فليقرأ هذا


All you have to do to have perfectly functioning clouds is this:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Step One:
Make an event anywhere on the map that you want the clouds. The event
picture should be transparent (pink).
----------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Step Two:
Insert a cycle.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Step Three:
Make a Show Image inside of the cycle, the image of clouds that you
want to use (I used Morning1). Make the X coordinate -320 and the Y
coordinate 120. The Magnification should be 100%. Choose Transparency
Color: Stir, and Transparency % to 50%.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 4:
Make a Move image inside the cycle. The Transparency % should be 50%
again and the Magnification should be 100%. The Movement hangtime can
be whatever you want it to be. I chose 300 (30.0 seconds). If you
choose a higher time the clouds will move slower. If you choose a
lower time the clouds will move faster. Leave the option Wait While
Moving checked.
----------------------------------------------------------------------



**********************************************************************
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What should this event look like?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
**********************************************************************

<>Cycle
<>Show Picture: 1,Morning1,(-320,120)
<>Move Picture: 1,(320,120),30.0sec(W)
<>
:End Cycle
<>


**********************************************************************
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What if I want mist, not clouds?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
**********************************************************************

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well that's quite simple, in fact you could use the same image and event.
All you have to do is change the Transparency Color from Stir -> to -> None.
----------------------------------------------------------------------


**********************************************************************
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Can I use a different image?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
**********************************************************************

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Of cpurse you can! Use whatever image you like, as long as it looks
good .
----------------------------------------------------------------------


**********************************************************************
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Can I change the Transparency %?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
**********************************************************************

----------------------------------------------------------------------
You can make it whatever you like . You could make it 0% (fully visible).
If you wanted.
----------------------------------------------------------------------


**********************************************************************
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It freezes the game whenever I try it!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
**********************************************************************

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Make SURE it's set to Parallel Process. What this does is makes it so
you can move your character while all of this is going on.

كيف تصنع ساعة في اللعبة لتحسب الزمن الذي لعبت فيه مثل سلسلة فايتال فانتسي و غيرهم من الألعاب





If you have played Final Fantasy 7, Chrono Trigger or any other leading RPG, you may have noticed on the menu screen it shows you how long you have been playing for.



This to some people making RPG Maker 2000 games is impossible, or something that they would never have attempted to do before.



But it is a very neat technique to put in your game, especially if you want to see how long your demo, or full game lasts for. Whether it is a 15-minute masterpiece or a 5-hour classic, this technique will tell you how to calculate how long your creation lasts for.



Now on to the dirty work:



1: On your opening scene, make a switch called Timer.



2: Now go to the database, Common Events and make a Parallel Process event that is activated by this Switch – Timer.



3: In the event commands, you have to tell it to wait for a second, then put in a new variable-called Timer Seconds and set it at +1.



That means that every second it is adding 1 to this variable. Now onto the second part of this technique.



4: Make a Fork Condition, make it activate when the variable Timer Seconds reaches 60. Inside the Fork set the Variable Timer Seconds to 0, and make a new Variable called Timer Minutes and set it to +1.



That means that when Timer Seconds reaches 60, much like real seconds, it makes a minute! Now the third and final part – hours!



5: Make a Fork Condition, make it activate when the variable Timer Minutes reaches 60. Inside the Fork set the Variable Timer Minutes to 0, and make a new Variable called Timer Hours and set it to +1.



Now, that’s not hard! (Is it?)



To help people, here’s what it SHOULD look like:



Wait 1.0s

Variable Ch: [0001:Timer Seconds]+,1

FORK Optn: Varbl[0001:Timer Seconds] –60

Variable Ch: [0001:Timer Seconds]Set, 0

Variable Ch: [0002:Timer Minutes]+,1

FORK Optn: Varbl[0002:Timer Minutes] –60

Variable Ch: [0002:Timer Minutes]Set, 0

Variable Ch: [0003:Timer Hours]+,1





The number of the variables is important. I used 1, 2, and 3 in this event.



To get the timer displayed on the screen just put in a message “You have been playing this game for \v[3] hours, \v[2] minutes and \v[1] seconds!”



You could make an item like a watch that brings up this message by, making an item that triggers a switch that (in common events) brings up this message.

كيف تصنع ضربة SCAN التي تحسب لك كم طاقة الوحش و نقاط ضعفه و غيرهم



How do I make a scan attack?


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

STEP 1 - Making the skill


The first thing you should do is go into your skill/magic editor in your database. Make an attack called 'Scan' or whatever you please and make that skill a switch, then make a switch named 'scan used', and make that switch activated by the skill you are making. You should next make an attack animation that will represent the attack when it's used (It will be needed later on in the script.).


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

STEP 2 - Making a single enemy formation scan


(If you wish to know how to make a multiple enemy formation scan, please jump down to step 3.)

Single enemy scans are pretty easy. Start by making a in-battle script for the formation that is triggered by the switch activated by your scan attack. Next in the event window start by making and setting two variables. One representing the enemy's HP, and the other representing the enemy's MP. Set them by selecting the option being 'set' and the operand being the 1:enemy's HP/MP(Which ever one you are setting.). Next insert a 'show battle animation', and select the animation you made for the scan attack and set it for 1:enemy. After that instert a message saying somthing like this, we'll use one of Project Gemini's monsters for this.

Pigman:\!
HP: \V[*]/40
MP: \V[**]/10

Replace the '*' with the variable number representing the enemy's HP, and the '**' with the variable number representing the enemy's MP.

Then insert another message saying the monster's weaknesses(if the monster has any.). Then turn the switch that activated this event off. When your finished, the event window should say all of this, we'll use the single pigman for an example.



<>Variable OP:[0001:Enemy 1 HP] Set, 1:Pigman HP
<>Variable OP:[0002:Enemy 1 MP] Set, 1:Pigman MP
<>Show Battle Anim.:Scan Success, 1:Pigman(W)
<>Messg:Pigman:\!
: :HP: \V[1]/40
: :MP: \V[2]/10
<>Messg:No weak points found!
<>Chang Switch: [0001:Scan used]-OFF set
<>

That's it for the single enemy formation scan tutorial!


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

STEP 3 - Scanning multiple-enemy formations


(This is a little harder than before, so I sudgest that you read the single-enemy formation scan tutorial first.)

Start by making an in-battle script that is triggered by the switch the scan skill activates, then create and set variables for each enemy's HP&MP(We'll use a 3 enemy formation from Project Gemini as an example.). Then make fork options equal to the number of enemies in the formation. The option should be for monsters possible behavior, and there should be one monster assigned to each fork option. It should look like this so far;

<>Variable OP:[0001:Enemy 1 HP] Set, 1:Enemy 1 HP
<>Variable OP:[0002:Enemy 1 MP] Set, 1:Enemy 1 MP
<>Variable OP:[0003:Enemy 2 HP] Set, 2:Enemy 2 HP
<>Variable OP:[0004:Enemy 2 MP] Set, 2:Enemy 2 MP
<>Variable OP:[0005:Enemy 3 HP] Set, 3:Enemy 3 HP
<>Variable OP:[0006:Enemy 3 MP] Set, 3:Enemy 3 MP
<>Fork Optn: 1:Enemy 1-ActionPsb
<>
:End Case
<>Fork Optn: 2:Enemy 2-ActionPsb
<>
:End Case
<>Fork Optn: 3:Enemy 3-ActionPsb
<>
:End Case
<>

Then when the first fork condition starts, the first thing should be the battle animation of your scan attack on the enemy the fork option represents. Then display the message;

Enemy Name:\!
HP: \V[1]/*
MP: \V[2]/**

Replace the '*' with that enemy' HP max, and the '**' with that enemy's MP max.

Then instert another message stating that enemy's weakness. Repeat this pattern with each enemy, but the variables in the message should be \V[3]&\V[4] for enemy number two, and \V[5]&\V[6] for enemy number three. When your all finished, the complete event should look like this;<>Variable OP:[0001:Enemy 1 HP] Set, 1:Enemy 1 HP
<>Variable OP:[0002:Enemy 1 MP] Set, 1:Enemy 1 MP
<>Variable OP:[0003:Enemy 2 HP] Set, 2:Enemy 2 HP
<>Variable OP:[0004:Enemy 2 MP] Set, 2:Enemy 2 MP
<>Variable OP:[0005:Enemy 3 HP] Set, 3:Enemy 3 HP
<>Variable OP:[0006:Enemy 3 MP] Set, 3:Enemy 3 MP
<>Fork Optn: 1:Enemy 1-ActionPsb
<>Show Battle Anim.: Your scan anim, 1:Enemy 1(W)
<>Messg:Enemy 1:\!
: :HP: \V[1]/Max HP
: :MP: \V[2]/Max MP
<>Messg:Enemy weakness goes here
:End Case
<>Fork Optn: 2:Enemy 2-ActionPsb
<>Show Battle Anim.: Your scan anim, 1:Enemy 1(W)
<>Messg:Enemy Name:\!
: :HP: \V[3]/Max HP
: :MP: \V[4]/Max MP
<>Messg:Enemy weakness goes here
:End Case
<>Fork Optn: 3:Enemy 3-ActionPsb
<>Show Battle Anim.: Your scan anim, 1:Enemy 1(W)
<>Messg:Enemy 3's Name:\!
: :HP: \V[5]/Max HP
: :MP: \V[6]/Max MP
<>Messg:Enemy weakness goes here
:End Case
<>Change Switch: [0001:Scan used]-OFF Set
<>

That's all for the scanning tutorial!

لمن يهمه كيفية عمل ال COMBO ATTACK في المعركة فليقرأ هذا



The Combo Attack System

Okay, for all of those people out there who have tried to do this or have done this and wasn’t satisfied with the result, this is for you. Now this might not be what you’re looking or maybe you found a better way to do this but this works great for me.


First thing is you have to do is make the skill:
A. Go to the skills tab in the database increase the max field number to whatever you want, mine is up to two hundred.
B. Make a name for your new combo skill and set the skill class as “switch” and check the battle box in the “Available at” section.
C. Now make a switch for your combo skill, for the sake of argument call it “Combo1”.
D. In the user message saying something like “(main hero’s name) starts a combo.”


Second thing you need is to make the battle anim for your skill. (We’ll get to where to put it later.) The animation should show that the two combining characters are working together for the combo. It should show the characteristics of your combining heroes, (mine shows my main hero using a single sword strike and his combo partner using a two sword attack, being as he use the two sword style, you can do it any way ya want.) now that you’ve made your battle animation apply it and move to the next part.


Third is to make the battle event: (now this may get complicated so I’ll take you thru it step by step)

1. Go to a monster party (preferably one with a high hp 350--100)
2. Make a new battle event page triggered by the new switch that you just made being “On”.
3. Now make a variable that is based on your hero’s partner’s (the character that’s joining your hero for the combo) hp. Here’s how it should look: Variable Ch: [0036: (Character’s name) hp]Set, Char HP
4. Now make a fork that’s based on that variable you just made. Why? Because you don’t want the event to go off and your party leader’s combo partner is dead, it looks stupid. Plus it makes it more interesting. Anyway, make the fork trigger if the combining character’s hp is certain percent and above. (I chose 26 and above) meaning the combo won’t work if the cc’s hp is 25% and under.
5. Now in the fork with the cc hp being a certain amount and up, put a sound effect there to show that the combo is starting and a message like “[CC’s name] joins in.” and another message stating the attack being done.
6. Now use that battle animation that you just made and set it to effect one enemy or all, depending on the amount in the monster party.
7. Okay now for the damage, choose the change enemy hp slot and set it to whatever you want but nothing too big, you don’t want to make it cheesy. Also show a message saying how much damage the enemy receives.
8. How do you stop you’re CC from attacking after or before the combo is started? Simple just choose or make a condition and have the cc condition changed to that. Now to make sure that the condition does last till next turn select “wait and set it 0.5 sec and then change the cc’s condition to normal again.
9. Now to keep the event from looping, select change switch and set it to “comb1” off. Make another switch (something like next page or something) and turn it on. Now make a page that is triggered by that switch being on, so that the event will go to that page after it’s done.
10. Now make another fork (under the first) based on the cc’s hp being a certain % and below and show a message saying the combo won’t go thru like “(cc’s name) is unable to join” then use the on switch off switch from the end of the last fork. Repeat this for all the people in the main hero’s party (not the hero) with the hp variable based on each and the change condition too.
11. Now you can do this next step one of two ways, you could make this combo one of his skills or let him acquire it in a battle. The first one’s easy, just set it to a level. Here’s how the other way works. Make another page that is triggered after a certain number of turns. Then show a message saying the main hero gains a combo skill.
12. Make a variable based on the amount of combos you party can use, which is three if you have a full four-man party.
13. Now go to the change variable slot again and make a variable named “combochoice”, and make it random between 1-3. Set a number for each combo you’ve made: ex first combo 1 sec one 2etc.
14. Make for fork based that variable triggered if the number of the combo is chosen. Now it’s time for a little confession here the event will still go thru even regardless of the combing characters condition, but here’s how to make it look good: after you the message show the your party leader got the skill, show another message saying that he heals the necessary cc’s condition. Ex: “ party leader helps cc1” or something like that. Then look at the monster party’s skill and see if they have any status effect then make a change condit to cancel it and there ya go. Do this for the cc of the combo that was chosen by the combo choice variable.


At the end of it all you should have a battle event similar to this:

Variable ch:[0036:CC1 hp] set, CC1 HP
Fork Optn Varbl[0036:CC1 hp]-26abov
Play SE (any one you choose)
Messg: [CC1’s name] decides to join [party leader’s name]
Messg: [Party leadr] and cc1 join for a combo!
Show Battle Anim: (Whatever you called the battle anim) either one or whole group (W)
Change Enemy’s HP: 1 or whole group (whatever number you chose) Decr.
Messg: (enemy) lost ------- Hp1
Condition: CC1-> Stop (example condition) Condition
Wait: 0.5 s.
Condition: CC1-> Stop (example condition) Cancel
Change Switch: [combo1]-OFF Set
Change Switch: [Next page] ON Set
<>
End Case
Fork Optn Varbl [0036:CC1 hp]-25less
Messg: Was unable to join!
Change Switch: [combo1]-OFF Set
Change Switch: [Next page] ON Set


And the last page should look like this:
Trigger: Turn No (what ever you choose)
Messg: [partyleadr] learns a combo!
Variable Ch: [0039 Combochoice] Set Randm [1*3]
{Do this part for the other two cc in your party}
Fork Optn: Varbl [0039 Combochoice]-1
Change Skill: Party leadr- (comboskills name)-. Memory
Messg: party leadr heals CC1!
Condition CC1 (whatever condition) Cancel (repeat for each condition he could be suffering from)

Sideview or Front to Back View Battlesystem Tutorial



Here's how to make your own Sideview or Front to Back Battlesystem like Globe's
Newest Project, Secret of the Spirits. Follow this guide and have one kick-ass battle.
PS: Read the WHOLE thing or you'll be confused.
PPS: I ripped out the end stuff, please just e-mail me if you want to use it. No thanks
necessary.

Setting the Battle Arena Up
-------------------------------------
Step 1: Create New Map From Whatever Area You Are Battling In (Mine was called KnightBattle1)
Step 2: Add your monsters (We'll use a knight as an example)
Step 3: Add your Party Chars (NPCs Here) But don't add your main guy. He'll appear automatically
Step 4: Name the NPC Party Members by their party name and the monster Knight (My party members will be Agrea, {the main} Akhar and Melee {NPCs} and your monster (Knight is mine)
Step 5: Set up 2 blank events
And now we are done with the map setup

Setting up the Monster's HP/MP
--------------------------------------------
Step 1: Choose one of your blank events to edit
Step 2: Set it at autostart with no conditions
Step 3: Go to Change Variable
Step 4: Set Max Field Number to 5000 (You'll need most of 'em)
Step 5: Choose and Unused Variable
Step 6: Choose set, ?HP (This means whatever its HP is, mine's 10)
Step 7: Name the variable Knight1HP
Step 8: Choose another Variable, set it to, hmm... 5 and name is Knight1MP
Step 9: Change Switch
Step 10: Set Max to 5000 (you'll need 'em again)
Step 11: Name switch AfterSetupK1
Step 12: Turn it on
Step 13: Make a new, blank page, with something other than autostart activation with the condition that switch and leave it blank.

Setting up the actual battle itself
--------------------------------------------
Step 1: Make 4 pages (2 if you don't mind your enemies doing the same thing over and over)
Step 2: Set page 1 at autostart with conditions AfterSetupK1 switch
Step 3: I'm just gonna put what the screen would look like to make it easy for me and you

Making an Adventure/RPG Battle System For Your RPG Maker 2000 Game





This tutorial is to make a game with an Adventure/RPG Battle System, but you can only have one character fight, you can not use a characters attack power, agility, and mindforce (for spells you cast), also it can get extremely confusing with the amount of switches and variables you need for each enemy
I suguest you either dont have many enemies or you only use it on End Bosses or something
Ill be using the latter in my game
All that I ask if you use this to make an Adventure/RPG battle system in your game is that you give me some credit.

Note: These instructions may be too advanced for those who are new to RPG Making, ASCIIs RPG Makers, or RPG Maker 200
Note2: Whenever it says to flash the character the flash is at everything max with wait until done flashing on

First place an NPC to be used as an enemy, I used a lion.
Make 3 pages in the lion.

On the first page have it activated by being touched by the hero.

this will be where it hurts the player

On the second have it activated by push key,
and have the conditions as a variable called LionState be 1.

this will be where the player hurts it

On the third page have the picture blank
and have it activated by anything other than AutoStart and have the condition as a switch called LionDead on.

this (obviosly) is when the lion is dead

On the 1st and 2nd pages have the movement as move toward player
(This is so the lion moves towards the player)
and the frequency at 8
and the speed at 1/2 faster.
(this speed is half the speed of the default speed for the player, i find this a good speed so the player can run away)
and the priority type as Common Char Above

for the 3rd page have it the same except random movement instead of follow player.
and the priority type as Common Char Below

next, make a new NPC called setmonsters.
make the pic blank.
set it to autostart. make 3 pages,
the 3rd page is optional if you use the 3rd page, place the NPC in a place the player can not step on, but can be acessable by the PushKey command

on the first page have it set a variable called LionHP to 20 (or what ever number you want the lion's HP to be)
then have it set the switch LionLive to on and LionDead to off and a switch called MonstersSet to on

leave the seond page blank but have the condition to the switch MonstersSet

on the 3rd page (optional) have the pic as a stone or something like that.
set the priority to Common Char Above
set the start condition to PushKey
set the conditions to the switch LionDead being on
have this page do the same thing as page one (copy, paste)

the 3rd page will restart the lion when you do the push button on it, it will only appear once the lion is dead

make a new NPC called MonsterState
have it set to Parallel Process
have it change the variable LionState to 0
wait 0.1 secs
have it change the variable LionState to 1
wait 0.1 secs

what this does is switch between the lion being activated when you attack it and when it attacks you, this is necessary because you can not have 2 pages on the same NPC run at the same time.

now, back to the lion

on page one (the one with at hero touch)
have it play the sound effect lion (or roar or another you find to sound good for the lion attacking)
have it show the battle animation claw (or a different one) over the hero
have it flash the hero for 0.4 seconds
do a set char movement for the hero, frequency 8

move speed up
move speed up
turn 180o
move forward
move forward
turn 180o
move speed down
move speed down


set ignore if cant be done

what that will do is make the character fly backwards

then do take damage for all party members
i used:
attack power 5
Defense Effect 40%
MindForce Effect 0%
variance 5

but you can use something else. the defense effect is highly recommended however, because this makes it that your armour will have some effect and for magic attacks the mindforce effect is highly recommended.

on the 2nd page (the one with push key)
play sound effect kill10 (or another one for attacking the lion)
show battle animation sword1 (or a different one) over this event (do this event for obvious reasons)
flash char this event for 0.4 seconds
do a set char movement for this event, frequency 8

set speed up
set speed up
set speed up
set speed up
turn 180o
move forward
move forward
turn 180o
set speed down
set speed down
set speed down
set speed down


set ignore if cant be done

this nocks the lion back when attacked

subtract a random number from LionHP i suguest between 3 and 7, thats what i have

do a fork option with no excepting case and the condition LionHP below 1

flash this event for 0.4 seconds twice (enter it in 2 times)
play the sound effect monter1 (or another for when the lion dies)
display a message saying how much experience and money you should receive i used 8 for both
do change money increase 8 (or whatever number)
and change experience increase 8 (or whatever number) and show the level up message
set the switch LionLive to off set the switch LionDead to on
then theres the End Case thing

when you play your demo it should have a lion that will chase you who will hurt you if you walk into it or you try to attack it when its facing you and you can hurt it by attacking when its close but not facing you.

Enjoy making your Adventure/RPG!

How to make a Worl Map like one of the Final Fantsay games.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Well most of you probably already know how to do this, but I just
found out how, because I stopped useing RPG Maker 2000.
Well now that I know I am gonna tell every one that does not
know how to yet, and would like to learn how.
WEll lets get started.

Step 1. Making the World Map.
----------------------------------
Okay, first you have to make a map. It does not have to look
a certaint why, just make it look how you want.
( that was easy)

Step 2. Setting up your enemies appearence place.
----------------------------------------------------------
Okay, now that we have step 1 done, we go on to step 2.
Now go to where all the maps are listed, which is on the bottom
left corner of the screen. Right click on the worl map and
choose "Create Area" and choose what monster will appear in that
arean which will want to place them.
Now choose "Set Area" and make a box around the Island or land form
you would like to make the enemies appeare. When you are done,
click on ok on both, "set area, and the create area."
Now you have those monsters you have set in that area, you
cna start seting up the other Island monsters, by doing the
same process.

Well that is it, only 2 really easy steps.

(1) a) Enemy Repel Item
b) Moogle Charm Relic
(2) Radar System
(3) Jump command
(4)Snowboarding Mini Game





These are a few of the neat skills I have picked up along the way. I have decided to make a tutorial of my own to help others. You are going to need a decent foundation of variables, switches, common events, and set passwords. There are many great tutorials on Don's site to help you with those. This is my first tutorial, so bare with me.


(1a) Enemy Repel Item

This is a tutorial for making an item to repel enemies. This will also wear off after time. First, make an item called "Repel (or whatever you want)" Make this a switch item. Have it turn on switch "repel". Make a common event that is set to parallel process, and the conditions be switch "repel". Now for the commands, make it change the encounter rate. To totally eliminate the enemies set it to 0. To make it a lesser chance, make it a large number. Then, make it wait for as long as you want, then set the encounter rate back to how it was. Then, turn switch "repel" off. The code goes as follows:






<>Encounter Rate: 0St
<>Wait: 10.0s. ***Note: this can be changed***
<> Encounter Rate: 25St ***Note: This can also be changed if the encounter rate in your game is different.***
<>Change Switch: [####:repel]-OFF Set
<>






(1b) Moogle Charm Relic

This will allow you to make an Accessory that acts as a moogle charm in FF6. In case you've never played FF6, this makes it so that when this item is equipped, there are no random battles. Make an item called "Moogle Charm" make it an "other" item. Now, make a common event set to parallel process. Make it require no switches. Have it set with a fork condition. Make sure the check box at the end is checked. Make it selected to "hero". Then click on ... Select "item", and then choose the item you want. Make the commands be to set the encounter rate to zero. Then, after excepting, make it set the encounter rate back how it was.





<>Fork Option:Hero- Moogle Charm Equipment
<>Encounter Rate: 0St.
<>
:Excepting Case
<>Encounter Rate: 25St.
<>
:End Case
<>








(2) Radar System

This will allow you make a radar system. This is very basic, and can easily be improved on. This makes the screen pulse between all black, and a green tint.
This is set up to allow you to hit the escape key to activate this radar. First, create a parallel process event that sets the screen tone to normal.





<>Set Screen ToneR100, G100, B100, S100),1.0sec(W)
<>





Next, make the command that allows you to activate it by the esc. Key. Make it parallel process. Make it enter password, and set it to the cancel key only. Now, under that, turn switch "radar" to On/Off.





<>Enter Password: [####:radar]
<>Change Switch: [####:radar]-ON/OFF Triger
<>





Then, make another event set to parallel process. Make this turn off the system menu.





<>Disable System Menu: Disable
<>





Now, for the main part. The last item should be parallel process, and make the requirements for this event be switch "radar" Now, for the commands. Make it set the screen tone to totally black. Then make it wait for 0.7 sec. Then make it set the screen tone to a green tint. Then make it wait for another 0.5 sec.





<>Set Screen ToneR000,G000,B000,S000),0.7sec(W)
<>Wait: 0.7s.
<>Set Screen ToneR000,G110,B000,S000),0.7sec(W)
<>Wait: 0.5s.
<>





This should be all.







(3) Jump Command

This will use the set password command to let you jump. Make an event set to parallel process. Make a set password event set to the escape key, then a set hero movement. Make it start Jump, then move forward, then move forward, then end jump. That's it!!!!





<>Enter Password: [####:jump]
<>Set Chara's Movement: Hero , Start Jump , Forward , Forward , End Jump
<>




Simple!!!







(4) Snowboarding mini game!!!


This is easy. Just make a parallel process event that moves the hero down, and then waits for 0.2 sec. This is really easy. The code is:




<>Set Chara's Movement: Hero , Down

This makes the character just move down continuosly, but lets you move around. Make the character graphic for this portion of the game have his back graphic the same as his front graphic. This makes it look best. You can also program set passwords for tricks and stuff.

كيف تجعل شخصيتك تطير في خريطة العالم



How to make your character fly on the world map.

Well it took me a long time to figure this damn thing out, but after I realised what I was trying to do it was real easy.
Ok all the Important stuff is in TEAL. Now, all I want to tell you all is that if you use this tutorial then please, please. Put my name in the credits.

First,

Access the database,
Then go to "Skills", go to the bottom, see if there is an empty space.
Now if there is none then click on "Max Field Number" and add an extra "1"

Second,

Name the Spell Fly,
Make it a "Switch" under Classification, make it only usable in Field.
Now Where it says "ON Switch" set the switch inside to "001:" After 001:it would normaly say Stronbox or something,
at the bottom of thias box it will say "Name 001" with name underneath call it "Fly".

Third,

Now go to "Common Events" and make a new event.
Call it "Fly/Land", where it says "Event Start Condition" Put in "Parralel Process".
Now, in the "Events Command" Put in a "Fork Condition" Put the conditions "Switch, Select 001:Fly Set It To On"
Unselect the Add Else Case.
Now hit ok.
Inside where it says "FORK Optn:switch[001:fly] - on"
Insert a "Change Switch"
Make a new switch called "002:fly/land" Set it to "ON/OFF TRIGGER"
Now make another "Change Switch" that sets "Fly Off"

Fourth,

Now go to "Common Events" and make a new event.
Call it "Fly", where it says "Event Start Condition" Put in "Parralel Process".
Now, in the "Events Command" Put in a "Fork Condition" Put the conditions "Switch, Select 001:Fly/Land Set It To On"
Unselect the Add Else Case.
Now hit ok.
Inside where it says "FORK Optn:switch[002:fly/land] - on"
Make a "Move Event"
When inside the "Move Event" box, click on the "Start Slip trough"
Now click on the "Change Graphic..." Set the graphic in which you want your guy to look like when he is flying.
Hit ok.

Fifth,

Now go to "Common Events" and make a new event.
Call it "Land", where it says "Event Start Condition" Put in "Parralel Process".
Now, in the "Events Command" Put in a "Fork Condition" Put the conditions "Switch, Select 001:Fly/Land Set It To Off"
Unselect the Add Else Case.
Now hit ok.
Inside where it says "FORK Optn:switch[002:fly/land] - off"
Make a "Move Event"
When inside the "Move Event" box, click on the "End Slip trough"
Now click on the "Change Graphic..." Set the graphic in which you want your guy to look like when he is walking around.
Hit ok.

Sixth,

Now all you got to do is set your character witht the ability called Fly and you are done.
Just go to "Hero" in the database and select your main character and set him to have fly by "Right Clicking"
in the box where it says "skills" above it. Look for the spell "fly" and give it to your guy, on "level 1".

Now when you are in the game you can fly at will on the world map.

كيف تصنع أداة ال AUTO REVIVE التي تجعل شخصيتك تتعافى تلقائياً عندما تموت



Hello, reader. I've set up another simple tutorial to help you make your RM2K games more
exciting. This one will deal with automatic reviving items ---ones that bring your heroes
back to life if they should die in combat, such as the Reverse Doll in Star Ocean 2.

First, create an item called "Reverse Doll" in your Item database, and set its type to
"Other", so that it can be equipped by your users. Next, create a switch named
"ReverseDollAlex" (I'm using the default character's name for the purpose of this
tutorial), and make an equal number of switches that correspond to the number of people
who can use this item. That means, if you have six people who can equip the Reverse Doll,
then you should make six "ReverseDoll****" switches (**** being the name of the hero).

For the third step, you'll need to use one of your Common Events. Create a new one called
"Equipment Check". We'll need to use this function to see if your characters have the
Reverse Doll Item equipped. Set its function to Parallel Process so that it constantly runs
in the background. In the Equipment Check event, set up a Fork condition that checks to see
if your character is equipped with the Reverse Doll, and make it turn on the
"ReverseDoll****" switch if the hero is equipped, or turn it off if it is not equipped.
The fork will look something like this:

<>FORK Optn: Alex - Reverse Doll equipped
<>Change Switch: [0001-ReverseDollAlex] - ON Set
<>
<>ELSE Case
<>Change Switch: [0001-ReverseDollAlex] - OFF Set
<>
<>END Case

As with the switches, create an equal number of fork conditions that correspond to the
number of heroes who can use the item.

And now, the final step - adding the Reverse Doll events to the battle menus. First, using
a blank page, set the Trigger to be when the hero's HP reaches 0 (i.e. s/he has died).
Now, create a Fork Condition that checks to see if the "ReverseDollAlex" switch is on.
Inside that fork, you'll want to display a message that says something like
"The Reverse Doll saved Alex's life, then fell to pieces." After that, remove the Dead
condition from the affected character, recover his/her health fully, then remove the item,
and finally turn the switch off. It'll look like this at the end:

Trigger: Hero[Alex] HP[0]%

<>FORK Optn: Switch [0001-ReverseDollAlex] - ON
<>Messg: "The Reverse Doll saved Alex's life, then fell to pieces."
<>Condition: Alex Dead Cancel
<>Recover: Alex - Full Recovery
<>Equipment: Alex - Other Empty (this function will remove the Reverse Doll)
<>Add/Remove Item: Reverse Doll 1 Decr. (will remove the item from your inventory, since
it has been used already)
<>Change Switch: [0001-ReverseDollAlex] - OFF Set
<>END Case

Again, be sure to create an equal number of pages for each hero in your game (and don't
forget to change the above information to match the next hero!).

This should give you a functional Reverse Doll item, saving your heroes from utter death
during a tough boss fight. There is one problem with this, however...you'll need at least
two living party members for your Reverse Doll to work. Otherwise, when your last hero
gets killed, you'll lose the battle and the game. It's a problem with the RPG Maker 2000
engine that hasn't yet been fixed. Sorry...

كيف تصنع الضربة REFLECT التي تقوم بعكس الماجيك على العدو




Today, I'm going to show you how to make a Reflect technique. This attack will protect your
hero from physical attacks, and reflect damage upon the enemy! It's similar to the Reflect
Damage Battle Skill in Vagrant Story.

First, go to your Database and make a skill called "Reflect", setting its classification to
"Switch". Make sure that only the Battle animation is clicked under the "Available at" box,
since this is a combat-only skill. Now, under the ON Switch box, set it to a new switch called
"ReflectCast". Create a hero for your party, and give him/her this skill.

Second, make a party of monsters (it doesn't matter how many), and set it up in the Monster
Party part of the Database. Copy and create a new blank page, so that you have two pages to
work with. Now, on the SECOND page, set your trigger to activate when your hero uses the
Reflect Skill. Inside this page, create a new variable called "HPBefore". This will check
the HP when your hero casts the Reflect spell, and (hopefully) before your foes start
pounding on you. After this, turn on a new switch called "ReflectActive" and, if you want,
set a condition called "Reflect" (in the Conditions tab, just type in the word Reflect under
the new skill, and leave everything else alone). Now, set a limit to how long your Reflect
shield will stay active (three or four turns is sufficient), by making a new variable called
"ReflectTurns", and then turn the "ReflectCast" switch off. Your completed page will look
like this:

Trigger: Switch[0001:ReflectCast - ON]

<>Variable Ch. [0001:HPBefore] Set, Alex HP
<>Change Switch: [0002:ReflectActive] - ON Set
<>Condition: Alex -> Reflect Condition
<>Variable Ch. [0002:ReflectTurns] Set, 3 (this will be a new variable)
<>Change Switch: [0001:ReflectCast] - OFF Set

Now, let's jump to our first page. We'll set this one to activate at the beginning of
every turn by selecting Turn 1x as our trigger. Now, we'll make a big fork to see
whether or not the ReflectCast Switch has been turned on (that is, our hero has cast the
Reflect spell). After this, set a new variable called "HPAfter", to check what the hero's
HP are after the attack. Next, we'll calculate how much damage will be done (if any) to
the enemy by checking to see if HPAfter is lower than HPBefore. If so, then we can
calculate another new variable, "ReflectDamage" by subtracting HPAfter from HPBefore.
Once this is done, we can count down the number of turns that our Reflect spell will be
in effect by one, and cancel it altogether if ReflectTurns reads 0; otherwise, we can
set the HPBefore variable and start the counterattack process for the next turn. Your
first page will look like this:

Trigger: Turn[1x]

<>FORK Optn: Switch [0002:ReflectActive] - ON
<>Variable Ch. [0003:HPAfter] Set, Alex HP
<>FORK Optn: Varbl [0003:HPAfter]-V[0001]less than
<>Variable Ch. [0004:ReflectDamage] Set, Var. [0001] val.
<>Variable Ch. [0004:ReflectDamage] -, Var. [0003] val.
(you can fill the next few spaces with a custom algorithm if you want)
<>Show Battle Animation: (anything you want), Whole Group
<>Messg: The Reflect Shield dealt \v[4] HP damage to the enemies!
<>Change Enemy's HP: 1:Slime HP V[0004] Decr.
(repeat only this step for each enemy in your group)
<>
:END Case
<>Variable Ch. [0002:ReflectTurns] -, 1
<>FORK Optn: Varbl [0002:ReflectTurns]-0
<>Change Switch: [0002:ReflectActive] - OFF
<>Condition: Alex Reflect Cancel
<>Messg: Alex's Reflect magic has faded.
<>
:ELSE Case
<>Variable Ch. [0001:HPBefore] Set, Alex HP
<>
:END Case
<>
:END Case
<>

Now, when you go into combat, cast your Reflect spell. The hero's reflect barrier will absorb
damage, and bring it back at the enemy party. You should take note that when using healing
items, the effectiveness of the barrier may be reduced or nullified, depending on how high
your HP are at the end of the turn.
