Shapeshift-Others (Scripted Doppleganger/Polymorph)

[TaskMasterX]

This was a request by Laughing Paradox from the FFX Requests thread. He wanted to be able to turn other characters into another customized template. I made an Attribute version and Power Swap version. The attribute version allows you to have up to three different commands on targets, each one representing another template you can change them into. When one of the commands is triggered, the character fires a dummy power at the target and they are then morphed into the corresponding template. The targets fight for the character and get switched back automatically after 20 seconds. If they are killed in their new form, then the original target is also killed.
For the Swap version, it works like the Transmute Swap. The Power you swap it for determines the duration. And it randomly chooses which template from a group to morph the targets into. See getShapeshiftTemplate() for some example groups I added. You can edit it to add your own.

So here's the code for the attribute:


This is going the be the last scripting project I'm going to release for awhile, as RL has now taken priority. Have Fun!

Rock on! 

I really appreciate this. This is going to be used a lot!

Okay, so I .. um.. don't know how to do this.

I tried it on my own first, wanting to take the initiative to learn how to add scripts to my mod.

However, I completely devastated it! 

I had to re-download FFX3.3 and all my FX and all, which is fine (it needed a fresh reboot) and now I don't know what to do with this script.

Would anyone be so kind as to give me an idea of what to do to get this to work? I tried with that cool Water Summoner attribute as well, but to no avail.

Hey, LP. Sorry for all the trouble. Do you have any errors in your script.log? Most likely it's due to the ffx.py being to large after you added the code. If this is the case, you may have to wait for FFX 3.4. Although, if you really want it now, I might be able to fix it up for you (PM me).

[laughing paradox]

I'll be patient! It seems that FFX3.4 is really shaping up to have a lot of good stuff in it already, so I think I'll just wait.

Thanks for supplying us with all this cool stuff.. the flying melee, water control and this shapeshifter stuff are going to be fantastic.
