[FFVII] Enemy AI Script questions

[DynamixDJ]

Hi Y'all! I'm currently working on the Enemy Module of my walkthrough, and I've decided that I want to break the AI script down for myself, instead of just blindly following the work the TFergusson has done in his Enemy Mechanics FAQ (the Eligor caused me quite a few problems).

Anyway, this is a fun project, and this webpage from the qhuimm wiki is the thing that I needed to fill in the blanks. I have had a few queries along the way though, so I've decided to ask them here.

1st Question:

Code: [Select]

If ( (BattleAddr(&AllPlayers).BattleAddr(&Row) == 0) )

Is this a check to see if ALL Players are in the front row, or if ANY of the Players are in the front row?

I had assumed it was ALL Players when I was looking at the script for MP/Guard Hound/Mono Drive/Grunt. All of these enemies uses AI script that's supposed to look at which row the player is in to choose their Attacks accordingly, but the script is illogical.

I've tried to work out what their patterns were supposed to be. Take the MP as an example, here is the opening setup for the AI Script:

Code: [Select]

0x000LovalVar:PlayerRow <- 00x006LovalVar:EnemyRow <- 00x00CLovalVar:SelfRow <- 00x012 If ( (BattleAddr(&AllEnemies).BattleAddr(&Row) == 0) )0x012 {0x01F LovalVar:EnemyRow <- LovalVar:EnemyRow AND 10x029 If ( (BattleAddr(&AllEnemies).BattleAddr(&Row) == 1) )0x029 {0x036 LovalVar:EnemyRow <- LovalVar:EnemyRow AND 20x040 If ( (BattleAddr(&AllPlayers).BattleAddr(&Row) == 0) )0x040 {0x04D LovalVar:PlayerRow <- LovalVar:PlayerRow AND 10x057 If ( (BattleAddr(&AllPlayers).BattleAddr(&Row) == 1) )0x057 {0x064 LovalVar:PlayerRow <- LovalVar:PlayerRow AND 20x06E If ( (BattleAddr(&Self).BattleAddr(&Row) == 0) )0x06E {0x07B LovalVar:SelfRow <- 00x081 }0x081 Else0x081 {0x084 LovalVar:SelfRow <- 1

So, seeing as TF has reported that flaws in the script prevent it from targetting th Players wors correctly, I wanted to see if I could fix the error, which is the AND function returning 0 for every check. If you swap the AND X functions with  <- X, then it would make sense to me. If All Players are in the front row; LovalVarlayerRow <- 1, and if All Players are in the Back Row, then LovalVarlayerRow <- 2, and if the Player Row values are mixed, then it stays as 0. That works.

The thing is, I've just started looking at the Grashtrike, and the first line reads:

Code: [Select]

If ( ( (BattleAddr(&AllPlayers).BattleAddr(&SlowStatus) == 0)

I had assumed that this meant that it was performing Silk ONLY if all players do not have Slow, however, after testing I can see that this actually means that it will perform Silk if ANY Player does not have Slow.

So, how does that translate to the MP? If at least one player is in the front, the var gets set to 1, and if any player is in the back, the var gets set to 2... that would mean that it can never be 0, and would bypass some of the script....

Here is the MP's full AI script for reference:

Here's how I have deciphered that, assuming that the AND functions are actually PUSH functions, and that the check in question is looking for ALL players in Front/Back Row (as opposed to any player):


Code: [Select]

/----------------------------------------------------------------------------\|   BATTLE PLAN: (Unused)                                                    ||                                                                            ||  If All Players are in Back Row: 1/4 Chance use Machine Gun on Rnd Target  ||                                  3/4 Chance use <Tonfa> on Rnd Target      ||                                                                            ||  If All Players are in Front Row: 1/8 Chance use <Tonfa> on Rnd Target     ||                                   7/8 Chance use Machine Gun on Rnd Target ||                                                                            ||  If the Players Rows are mixed:                                            ||   If MP is in the Front Row: 1/2 Chance use Machine Gun on Rnd Target      ||                              1/2 Chance use <Tonfa> on Rnd Target          ||                                                                            ||   If MP is in the Back Row:  1/6 Chance use <Tonfa> on Rnd Target          ||                              5/6 Chance use Machine Gun on Rnd Target      |\----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

I'm not 100% sure this is correct now. If anyone could clarify for me how the MP's correct AI script is supposed to work, that would be great!

 

[codemann8]

The first question I'd have is where you're getting the text version of these scripts from? I'm assuming these are probably disassembled from ProudClod. The word of caution there is to worry about the lesser known opcodes that have a higher chance of inaccuracies, although i don't know if any of these lesser known opcodes are used for MP, not only lesser known opcodes but also special cases that maybe weren't considered.  It's possible that some of these outputs could have errors, but NFITC would be the one to comment on how confident he is with the accuracy of that output.

It also looks like there are several layers of IFs, but I don't see any closing brackets, which is important because that will determine whether they are nested or sequential.

 

[DynamixDJ]

I'm first disassembling it via Proud Clod, then using the Find-All > Replace-All feature in my .txt editor to assign the argument values to the variable mapping as you see. This is where I'm getting the info for the mapping:

http://wiki.ffrtt.ru/index.php/FF7/Battle/Battle_Scenes/Battle_AI_Addresses

Here is a list of variables that I've been working with, I'm adding to the list as and when I need to:

Code: [Select]

BattleAddr(&2050) = BattleAddr(&ActiveActors)BattleAddr(&2060) = BattleAddr(&Self)BattleAddr(&2070) = BattleAddr(&TargetSelected)BattleAddr(&2080) = BattleAddr(&AllEnemies)BattleAddr(&2090) = BattleAddr(&ActiveEnemies)BattleAddr(&20A0) = BattleAddr(&AllPlayers)BattleAddr(&20B0) = BattleAddr(&ActivePlayers)BattleAddr(&4000) = BattleAddr(&DeathStatus)BattleAddr(&4001) = BattleAddr(&NearDeathStatus)BattleAddr(&4002) = BattleAddr(&SleepStatus)BattleAddr(&4003) = BattleAddr(&PoisonStatus)BattleAddr(&4004) = BattleAddr(&SadnessStatus)BattleAddr(&4005) = BattleAddr(&FuryStatus)BattleAddr(&4006) = BattleAddr(&ConfusionStatus)BattleAddr(&4007) = BattleAddr(&SilenceStatus)BattleAddr(&4008) = BattleAddr(&HasteStatus)BattleAddr(&4009) = BattleAddr(&SlowStatus)BattleAddr(&400A) = BattleAddr(&StopStatus)BattleAddr(&400B) = BattleAddr(&FrogStatus)BattleAddr(&400C) = BattleAddr(&SmallStatus)BattleAddr(&400D) = BattleAddr(&SlowNumbStatus)BattleAddr(&400E) = BattleAddr(&PetrifyStatus)BattleAddr(&400F) = BattleAddr(&RegenStatus)BattleAddr(&4010) = BattleAddr(&BarrierStatus)BattleAddr(&4011) = BattleAddr(&MBarrierStatus)BattleAddr(&4012) = BattleAddr(&ReflectStatus)BattleAddr(&4013) = BattleAddr(&DualStatus)BattleAddr(&4014) = BattleAddr(&ShieldStatus)BattleAddr(&4015) = BattleAddr(&DSentenceStatus)BattleAddr(&4016) = BattleAddr(&ManipulateStatus)BattleAddr(&4017) = BattleAddr(&BerserkStatus)BattleAddr(&4018) = BattleAddr(&PeerlessStatus)BattleAddr(&4019) = BattleAddr(&ParalyzedStatus)BattleAddr(&401A) = BattleAddr(&DarknessStatus)BattleAddr(&401B) = BattleAddr(&DualDrainStatus)BattleAddr(&401C) = BattleAddr(&DeathForceStatus)BattleAddr(&401D) = BattleAddr(&ResistStatus)BattleAddr(&401E) = BattleAddr(&LuckyGirlStatus)BattleAddr(&401F) = BattleAddr(&ImprisonedStatus)BattleAddr(&4026) = BattleAddr(&Row)BattleAddr(&4060) = BattleAddr(&PlayerID)BattleAddr(&4080) = BattleAddr(&IdleAnimID)BattleAddr(&4088) = BattleAddr(&DamagedAnimID)BattleAddr(&40D0) = BattleAddr(&LastAttacker)BattleAddr(&4100) = BattleAddr(&Def)BattleAddr(&4110) = BattleAddr(&MDef)BattleAddr(&4140) = BattleAddr(&CurrentMP)BattleAddr(&4150) = BattleAddr(&MaxMP)BattleAddr(&4160) = BattleAddr(&CurrentHP)BattleAddr(&4180) = BattleAddr(&MaxHP)

 

[DynamixDJ]

BattleAddr(&4020)
BattleAddr(&4022)
BattleAddr(&4023)
BattleAddr(&4024)

What do these do? They can be found after the Action 0138 Escape is performed, which is used by Prowler, Bandit and Vice:


Code: [Select]

BattleAddr(&TargetSelected) <- BattleAddr(&Self)Perform("Escape"[0138], EnemyAttack)BattleAddr(&Self).BattleAddr(&4020) <- 0BattleAddr(&Self).BattleAddr(&4023) <- 0BattleAddr(&Self).BattleAddr(&4022) <- 0BattleAddr(&Self).BattleAddr(&4024) <- 0

Edit - Same vars are found on the Hell House [2C] (1st Form). I guess this has something to do with stat transfers when an enemy leaves the battle

Double edit - Perhaps.... Exp, Gil, AP and....... ???? - Another edit - Nope, AP is 0x42BO, Gil is 0x42C0, and EXP is 0x42E0. The mystery remains...

Another edit - OK, I have a suspicion that they could be setting the main enemy battle flags:

BattleAddr(&4020) = 0x0001 OFF = Invisible
BattleAddr(&4021) = 0x0002 OFF = Groups the enemies together during a PINCER ATTACK.
BattleAddr(&4022) = 0x0004 OFF = ???? (Bad Rap Sample and Poodler Sample only)
BattleAddr(&4023) = 0x0008 OFF = Non-Targetable
BattleAddr(&4024) =  0x0010 OFF = Disables Main AI Script

This would fit, seeing as the four variables that are used are 4020 4022 4023 & 4024, meaning the 0x0002 flag (4021) wouldn't be set during the instances in which an enemy removes itself from battle, as it wouldn't need to. Edit - the quimm wiki's description for 4021 is "Ally of current actor", which could fit....

Bear in mind that with the Hell House and Aero Combatant are turning the same vars ON for the subsequent enemy that takes it's place:

Aero Combatant (1st form):
Code: [Select]

PRE-BATTLE:0x000LocalVar:TransformID <-  (BitCount(BattleAddr(&Self).BattleAddr(&PlayerID)) == BattleAddr(&ActiveActors).BattleAddr(&PlayerID)) 0x014LocalVar:TransformID <-  (LocalVar:TransformID.BattleAddr(&4120) == 47) 0x022SCRIPT ENDMAIN:0x000BattleAddr(&TargetSelected) <- RandomBit(BattleAddr(&AllPlayers))0x008 If (Not  (Random MOD 3) )0x008 {0x010 Perform("Kick"[0158], EnemyAttack)0x016 }0x016 Else0x016 {0x019 Perform("Propeller"[0159], EnemyAttack)0x01FSCRIPT ENDGENERAL COUNTER:0x000 If (Not  (Random MOD 2) )0x000 {0x008 BattleAddr(&TargetSelected) <- BattleAddr(&Self)0x00F Perform([011F], EnemyAttack)0x015 BattleAddr(&Self).BattleAddr(&4020) <- 00x01F BattleAddr(&Self).BattleAddr(&4023) <- 00x029 LocalVar:TransformID.BattleAddr(&4020) <- 10x033 LocalVar:TransformID.BattleAddr(&4023) <- 10x03D LocalVar:TransformID.BattleAddr(&4022) <- 10x047 LocalVar:TransformID.BattleAddr(&4024) <- 10x051 TransferStatus(BattleAddr(&Self), LocalVar:TransformID)0x058 BattleAddr(&Self).BattleAddr(&4020) <- 00x062 BattleAddr(&Self).BattleAddr(&4023) <- 00x06C BattleAddr(&Self).BattleAddr(&4022) <- 00x076 BattleAddr(&Self).BattleAddr(&4024) <- 00x080SCRIPT ENDDEATH COUNTER:0x000LocalVar:TransformID.BattleAddr(&4020) <- 00x00ALocalVar:TransformID.BattleAddr(&4023) <- 00x014LocalVar:TransformID.BattleAddr(&4022) <- 00x01ELocalVar:TransformID.BattleAddr(&4024) <- 00x028SCRIPT END

I can't see anywhere else in the script that handles enabling of the AI script/visibility/targetability of the new enemy.

On a side note, that 0x0004 Enemy Battle Flag that I'm unsure of could be disabling battle rewards, seeing as Bad Rap Sample and Poodler Sample do not give any rewards....

Oh this is the thread for me.

Regarding to the (BattleAddr(&AllPlayers).BattleAddr(&Row) == 0) conundrum. This, as you noticed, translates to if there are NO players in the back row. This has to do with the data type that is returned by the AllPlayers address. It's a 2X type variable meaning it returns a list (of 3 in this case) values with the state of each player. When that is masked by row, it changes those 3 values to each players' row values. In this case, if ANY of them are zero then the condition passes. That's just the nature of the 2X variable type and conditional checks. I wish there were a non-ugly way to indicate that in the AI editor.

Now to the 4022 variable, I believe this unsetting this value indicates the enemy does not need to be defeated in order for the battle to end. I think some set pieces set this in their init scripts. Check the helicopter in the Rufus battle and the truck and tiny bronco in the Palmer battle. Just going by memory here, but I'm pretty sure they unset the 4022 flag. A few bosses do as well IIRC. Check Mystery Ninja Custom 7 script and Diamond Weapon's Death script.

 

[DynamixDJ]

Ah, so it's not "All players in the Front row", it's  "No Players in the Back Row", which is the same thing when it comes to rows. With the Slow check, it's not as I initially thought "All Players without Slow", but rather "No Player with Slow". This fits, thanks!

In regards to 4023 and 4024, I'm 99% certain that I'm correct in thinking that 4023 is Actor's Targetability, and 4024 is Actor's AI Script enabled/disabled, after having dissected Reno:Turks I and his Pyramids.

If I'm right in thinking that, then that would mean that 4020 - 4024 does indeed reflect the Actor's Battle Flags as mentioned. And, if I'm right about that. then that means that you have solved the mystery of 0x0004 Enemy Battle Flag; as mentioned, Poodler Sample and Bad Rap sample are the only enemies in the game that go into the fight with this flag disabled. Your description of the actor needeing to be defetaed for the Battle to end fits perfectly, not just with the P/BR Sample, but also with the instances in which I've witnessed the 4023 flag be enabled/disabled via the AI script.

I'm going to jot down 4023 as you've described, and I'm gonna keep going through each enemy sequentially keeping my eyes open for consistency, but I'm fairly happy the shoe fits. Thanks!

I must say, this is quite a fun project to do, seeing as I don't think anyone has worked with the AI sctipt down in the way I currently am, which is to try to break each enemy's "Battle Plan" down into something the layman can understand. TF did a fantastic job, but I'm trying to do one better.

Once I'm done I'm gonna upload each individual enemy to Paste Bin. I'm also gonna C+P the raw AI Script as opcodes+arguments, so that when the time finally comes to writing my own AI script I'll be able to take snippets from each enemy to build my own custom script. It's a really fun project! I'm sure I'll be back  soon with my next question

On a side note NFI, do you use Discord much? I've sent you a PM in the past but you never got...

 

[nfitc1]

Eligor made me rage quit. I understand what it was doing, but he got WAY more of a detailed script than he needed. It's main script is longer and convoluted than Ruby Weapon's; And HE controls his tentacles!

You have the 4020, 4021, 4023 and 4024 addresses correct to my notes. I haven't tested 4022 very much. It's used in 59 different enemies (none of which are the Hojo samples. Not sure where you get that they are) and they are typically enemies that have multiple parts and are controlling certain parts. Some exceptions are enemies like Chocobos (which is why I think this flag is "not necessary to defeat to win").

I used to check Discord a lot. I haven't been on lately due to lack of time. I'll give it a check now though. I did get that PM, but I didn't have anything constructive to add. I'm almost daily checking this site though.

 

[DynamixDJ]

The reason I know that Hojo's samples use that flag is that I spotted it when working on my Enemy Formation Charts.

Look at offset 0x0C in the Battle Formation Data.These four bytes only consider the last 5 bits, and these 5 bits are what the 4020 - 4024 addresses pull.
0x01 I think isn't the Actor's visibility, but rather its "presence" in the battle. 0x02 is more accurately "Enemy grouping during a pincer attack" 0 = group one, and 1= group two (or the other way round, I can't remember). 0x04 is unknown, but you've allocated that as "Indicates if Actor needs to die for Battle to end".

The only Formation to use the "FFE3" Battle Formation Flag (Non-Targetable, Main AI script disabled and 0x04 OFF) is formation 358h, specifically the BR Sample and P Sample enemies. These are the only two enemies in the game that enter the battle with the 0x04 flag off; all other instances of that flag being toggled occur via in-battle AI script.

 

[DynamixDJ]

When you mention enemies with multiple limbs, are you sure that you're not confusing it wih the 0x0010 offset of the Battle Setup formate? I remember we discussed before about the fact that bit 1 was a bit of a mystery to me, and I recall you saying then that that flag has something to do with enemies with multiple limbs. In fact, I made a list of enemies which have this flag ON for the pre-battle setup flag ([FF], [FB], [EF], [F3], [EB] & [E3]):

 - Ghirofelgo / Chain
 - Mirage
 - Dorky Face
 - Jersey
 - Ying, Yang, Ying/Yang
 - Ancient Dragon
 - Schizo Left / Schizo Right
 - Guardian (+ Guardian Left and Guardian Right)
 - Carry Armour / Left Arm / Right Arm
 - Proud Clod / Jamar Armour
 - Helletic Hojo / Right Arm / Left Arm
 - Mover
 - Jenova Synthesis
 - Bizarro Sephiroth
 - Roulette Cannon / Pedestal
 - Diamond Weapon
 - Ruby Weapon / Right + left Tentacle
 - Emerald Weapon / Leg / Eye

Anyway, I don't think this is the same as the 4022 address. We see the Vice and Hell House use 4022, and they don't have multiple limbs

 

[nfitc1]

Ack! I was only looking at the AI. I know those flags pull into the 402X memory region, but I always forget to look in form data.

I didn't say multiple limbs, I said multiple parts. This includes Hell House as it essentially has two "parts". One being the thing you initially encounter and the other being the possessed thing after the initial house thing is defeated.

 

[DynamixDJ]

Ah, my bad. I'm only assuming that 4022 is pulling the 0x04 flag in the enemy battle setup, but I could be wrong.

Anyway, in regards to the Setup Flag used (0x0010 offset in the Battle Setup Format), I still have Bit1 0x02 jotted down as ?'s, it would be good to give it a clear description as to what that flag does. I recall you saying it has something do with the animations when an enemy does have multiple limbs (not parts; I get what you're saying now about the other flag). Or, if an enemy interacts with another enemy during one of their animations (like the Movers).

A concise explanation to this flag would be really useful . It's the 2 bytes that's usually set to FFFD to indicate a normal battle (0x02 OFF), or FFED to indicate Pre-Emp disabled.

 

[nfitc1]

I'm not going to say I'm lazy, but can you provide a link to where I discussed that. I'm not doubting that I said this, but I probably said other things around that and the context would make more sense to me and be able to explain it.

 

[DynamixDJ]

Haha lol. I know it's somewhere in the PMs that we've sent each other, or possibly in a topic I posted a few years back (I'm not saying I'm lazy either.......)

Anyway, just a quickie regarding the MP again, we can see that the script doesn't work properly, I'm compiling a list of errors for DLPB and I would like to offer working fixes.

The fix that I have suggested for the MP (and if this works then the same thing can be applied to the Grunt/Guard Hound/Mono Drive also):

change:

Code: [Select]

0x040 If ( (BattleAddr(&AllPlayers).BattleAddr(&FrontRow) == 0) )0x040 {0x04D LovalVar:PlayerRow <- LovalVar:PlayerRow AND 10x057 If ( (BattleAddr(&AllPlayers).BattleAddr(&FrontRow) == 1) )0x057 {0x064 LovalVar:PlayerRow <- LovalVar:PlayerRow AND 20x06E If ( (BattleAddr(&Self).BattleAddr(&FrontRow) == 0) )

TO:

Code: [Select]

0x040 If ( (BattleAddr(&AllPlayers).BattleAddr(&FrontRow) == 0) )0x040 {0x04D LovalVar:PlayerRow <- LovalVar:PlayerRow <- 10x057 If ( (BattleAddr(&AllPlayers).BattleAddr(&FrontRow) == 1) )0x057 {0x064 LovalVar:PlayerRow <- LovalVar:PlayerRow <- 20x06E If ( (BattleAddr(&Self).BattleAddr(&FrontRow) == 0) )

This should fix the subsequent AND checks to make it work properly... I think. NFI?

Edit - actually, thinking on it, it could be a fun exercise just to tidy up the whole script, it'll put everything I've learned to the test. It's obvious that the opening bombing mission was a "trial and error" task for the coders, they probably had a cool off period after the demo was finished to restructure the way they compile the script (Enemy AI and field script; why on earth are they using [2][0] $GM to signify that the Restore Materia has been obtained haha lol??)

I'll have a go at that once I've escaped Midgar, which I honestly thought I would have done by now lol

 

[nfitc1]

Once you enter Midgar, you never leave.

Though...no. those changes don't make sense. I'm guessing you meant this:
Code: [Select]

0x040 If ( (BattleAddr(&AllPlayers).BattleAddr(&FrontRow) == 0) )0x040 {0x04D LocalVar:PlayerRow <- 10x057 If ( (BattleAddr(&AllPlayers).BattleAddr(&FrontRow) == 1) )0x057 {0x064 LocalVar:PlayerRow <- 20x06E If ( (BattleAddr(&Self).BattleAddr(&FrontRow) == 0) )

THAT would make sense.
I just took a look at it and at first glance the vanilla script is totally stupid. Trying to AND a value that you just set to 0 will always result in 0. However, maybe they intended this. It appears that the intended function is if all playable characters are in the back row then prioritize the machine gun action.

There is a 1:4 chance of Tonfa in the event that the LocalVarlayerRow = 1
There is a 1:8 chance of Tonfa if LocalVarlayerRow = 2
However, since neither of those are possible, it defaults to a 1:6 chance of a Tonfa

This idea probably got scrapped since both Machine Gun and Tonfa are long range attacks and their damage output is not reduced due to target's row. Rather than remove the code that would allow for this chance behavior, it is simply mitigated by not allowing it to logically happen. Then, should the need arise in the future to change it back, it's a simple fix. A SIMPLER fix is to change the initial assignment at position 0x004 to be a 3. Then these values will be correctly AND'd and produce a non-zero result. The script is still stupid for other reasons (obvious copy-pasted code blocks) but it has more function again. If I wanted to take the time I could make a much cleaner code. I'm just not sure it's worth it on such a simple enemy. Although it might provide some good practice for other scripts... I might change my mind if I find myself bored later. Actually, it is CERTAINLY not worth it because the entire script is based around the possibility that Tonfa is a short range action. Since it's not there is no need for 90% of the script. It can be as simple as
Code: [Select]

If (Not (Random MOD 6)){   LocalVar:0080 <- 272 (Machine Gun)} Else {   LocalVar:0080 <- 273 (Tonfa)}TargetMask <- RandomBit( AllOpponentMask )Perform(LocalVar:0080, EnemyAttack)SCRIPT END

That is literally all it needs to be. This prioritizes Tonfa (since it's a more damaging action) at a 5:6 ratio.

 

[DynamixDJ]

Though...no. those changes don't make sense. I'm guessing you meant this:
Code: [Select]
0x040   If ( (BattleAddr(&AllPlayers).BattleAddr(&FrontRow) == 0) )
0x040   {
0x04D   LocalVarlayerRow <- 1
0x057   If ( (BattleAddr(&AllPlayers).BattleAddr(&FrontRow) == 1) )
0x057   {
0x064   LocalVarlayerRow <- 2
0x06E   If ( (BattleAddr(&Self).BattleAddr(&FrontRow) == 0) )
THAT would make sense.

Yes, indeed, that's exactly what I meant lol.

I agree that it looks quite a lot like they had left this script in as it was to give them the option to invoke the Front/Back row behaviour at a later date, or they decided that it wasn't needed so they simply overwrote it. I didn't clock that changing the initial value of LocalVar:0020 from 0 to 3 would also neatly fix the issue, kudos (kind of annoyed I didn't see that myself )

In your custom script you've missed out the part that does work, which is the check to see if the MP is in the Front Row or back row, and we do see an instance on the Sector 8 Bridge with MP's in the back row. Here is how (I think) it should look:

Code: [Select]

MAIN:     LovalVar:SelfRow <- 0      If ( (BattleAddr(&Self).BattleAddr(&Row) == 0) )      {      LovalVar:SelfRow <- 0      }      Else      {      LovalVar:SelfRow <- 1      If (Not  (LovalVar:SelfRow) )      {       LocalVar:Random <- 2        If (Not  (Random MOD LocalVar:Random) )        {         BattleAddr(&TargetSelected) <- RandomBit(BattleAddr(&AllPlayers))        LocalVar:EnemyAttack <- 272 (Machine Gun)        }        Else        {         BattleAddr(&TargetSelected) <- RandomBit(BattleAddr(&AllPlayers))        LocalVar:EnemyAttack <- 273 (Tonfa)      }      Else      {       LocalVar:Random <- 6        If (Not  (Random MOD LocalVar:Random) )        {         BattleAddr(&TargetSelected) <- RandomBit(BattleAddr(&AllPlayers))        LocalVar:EnemyAttack <- 273 (Tonfa)        }        Else        {         BattleAddr(&TargetSelected) <- RandomBit(BattleAddr(&AllPlayers))        LocalVar:EnemyAttack <- 272 (Machine Gun)       }       Else       {      POP(LovalVar:SelfROw)     Perform(LocalVar:EnemyAttack, EnemyAttack)     SCRIPT END

As mentioned, this weirdness in the script occurs in the first four enemies 10h - 13h, and all of them can have their script completely simplified in a similar way.

Remind me again what happens to enemies that take double damage from Statuses (Sword Dance, Soldier:3rd, Corvette take double from Confusion; Palmer takes double from Sleep).

I know that they would take double damage from Added Effect+Confusion on your weapon, but does it also mean that the Confusion/Sleep infliction chance would now be 100%?

It just affects damage done by actions that inflict the status

It's checking to see if Laser Cannon doesn't have the Death Status, which it always will pass seeing as the Machine Gun cannot spawn in if you've killed the Laser Cannon.

Am I missing something, or is the check at 0x130 always going to pass, meaning that use of Machine Gun at 0x1B5 will never occur?

 

[DynamixDJ]

OK, I think I understand it now. It's a flaw in the scripting, there should be a Death Counter.

When you kill either the Mchn Gun or Lsr Can, there is no script to toggle the 4020 "SelfActive" var from 1 to 0 (like we see when one of the counterparts disappears). Because of this, once you've killed the Laser Cannon, the next time the Machine Gun's script runs, the check at 0x02E passes and the final value that is returned is always 5, which bypasses all of the scripts and acts as though the Laser Cannon was still alive.

I think this is an error. When you kill either the MG or LC another enemy will not spawn in, and the Warning Board will just sit there till you kill it. It seems to me as though the Laser Cannon should have spawned in again once you kill the Machine Gun and vice-versa (unless the other one has been killed obv).

If you add a Death Counter script for the MG and LC that looks like this, I think that will solve the problem:

Code: [Select]

DEATH COUNTER:0x000BattleAddr(&Self).BattleAddr(&SelfActive) <- 00x0OASCRIPT ENDor:DEATH COUNTER:0x000BattleAddr(&2060).BattleAddr(&4020) <- 00x0OASCRIPT END

Thing is, this flag may automatically get set to 0 upon playing the normal Death script for an enemy, in which case I don't know what's going on...

YES! The last two hours haven't been wasted

My first bit of AI script editing was a success. It took me a while, Pr Cl didn't like it when I tried to copy and paste and delete large chunks of AI script, but I finally got the script I wanted which was this:
Code: [Select]

12 206010 40208060 0090

This is the death counter script that I've added for the Machine Gun and Laser Cannon, which disassembles to:

Code: [Select]

0x000: PUSH (2060) Type (12)0x003: PUSH (4020) Type (10)0x006: MASK0x007: PUSH (00) Type (01)0x009: STRA0x00A: END0x000BattleAddr(&2060).BattleAddr(&4020) <- 00x00ASCRIPT END

I know it doesn't look like much, but I'm only a beginner lol. Anyway, after trying to mess around with Steam and getting it to not delete my save, then working out which bloody scene.bin the Steam version pulls from, I finally managed to battle the Warning Board, and that script did exactly what I had intended it to do.

It has flagged the killed enemy as non-active. So, let's say I've killed the Machine Gun; normally the MG will still be flagged as active, so when the LC takes it turn it does nothing and does not spawn in. With the added Death Counter script the MG is now flagged as non-active, so the LC re-spawns in like it was supposed to.

Again, I'm only assuming that it was supposed to respawn in givent the fact that both the MG and LC have redundant script that searches for the Death status of its counterpart. And I've fixed it Now I can move on
