Possession Attack Power in FFX

[laughing paradox]

I play  :ff:, not the sequel, and I tried giving my Titans character Jericho a Possession ability with FFX Control Centre. (I changed hypnosis to possession)

However, when Jericho uses it (as a melee attack, might I add), the character I try to posses suddenly "KO's".

I can't use that character, or Jericho, at all. Then after a while my Jericho character comes back, and the game completely stops and turns off.

Any help on this? I'd love to use this ability, but I guess I can always use a short-range melee hypnosis if push came to shove.

eeesh its been a while but i think i remember this swap was exclusively used with beam attacks, for it to work properly... but i may be way off.

Thanks, man!

I'm going to try it out, see how it goes.

I've used it successfully as a projectile attack too.

The KO part is right.  It's not the most elegant hack - it KO's the target, replicates him as a character on your team, then re-creates the target as a villian when it wears off.  And sometimes glitches happen (can't remember specifics off the top of my head).

But when it works, it's very cool.  Especially when you suddenly see a portrait of some villian you've never used as a player-character before (cool! I'm controling a clone female!).
