transformation skill

[Kazuma]

I am working on a skill that lets you transform in battle but i am running in to two problems, the first is I want to hide my char like have them swallowed up by a fire attack or another kind of animation, and when the attack clears i want my transformed char to be there in the players place

but ether the animation does not happen and the char just changes in front of the screen or the animation happens but the char will not change until it is over.

my other problem is making it temporary, i want it to only last the battle and it must be used again but i am not sure how to do this

any help you can offer i would be very grateful

I did see a plugin that to do this, but i am also pretty sure you can just call

$gameActors.actor(actorId).setBattlerImage(name);

I can do some testing later, but i am having some issues atm so maybe @LTN Games can check if my solution works.

Yea your solution works great @eivl, in a common event I place the code, which sets actor 3 to a new sideview battler Actor_2_6

$gameActors.actor(3).setBattlerImage('Actor2_6');

My common event is run when the skill is used on the user.

i know i got that part down, but i need to know is how i can use an animation and my char transforms during it, and I do not want my char to not stay in the trans forever.

I see what you mean here, the animation, when set in the skill, plays first, then a delay for the battler to change the image, as well as adding a limit to the changed graphic is not doable in the editor. Scriptlets may be able to accomplish this by using only a common event for all battler actions. I'll continue to look into this and see what I can accomplish for you. Aside from that a plugin may be needed to accomplish this. I'll be back

You can use Yanflys plugins to do this
