I want to make a hero that can transform like law and order. what tools do I need and how do I use them? Thanks in advance.

I'm not an expert on things like this, but I know there's a power called "Other Form" . I believe that it lets you swap out one character for another.

IF that's not what you're looking for, maybe someone else can give you some help.

You have to create two characters, one with the attribute shapeshifter and another with the attribute temporary form. In the ffx3.3 manual it is explained:

"SHAPECHANGER
TEMPORARY FORM
By Dr Mike
Characters with these attributes are able to switch between a variety of forms, each with their own powers and stats. Health, energy and hero points are shared between forms and recalculated proportionally to each form in the case of health.
Each form is designed as a separate character in either the FFEdit program or the Character Screen in Freedom Force.
The character's normal form is given the SHAPECHANGER attribute and the other forms can be given the TEMPORARY FORM attribute since they are not playable as characters in their own right.


Customisation
SHAPESHIFTER
Effect: The effect played when turning back into the main character from a temporary form
Animation: The animation the character plays whilst changing shape
COMMAND: This will be the command that the character's temporary forms use to turn back into the default SHAPESHIFTER form.
Form1 to Form6: A list of temporary forms that the character can assume. Form2 to Form6 are optional. The droplists here will automatically detect any characters who are TEMPORARY FORMS.
TEMPORARY FORM
Effect: The effect played when turning into this temporary form
Animation: The animation the character plays whilst changing shape
COMMAND: The command used to assume this TEMPORARY FORM.
Revert Trigger: A state that can trigger the temporary form back to normal. Defaults to isNever so this never happens. See the Query User Functions guide for details."

To add a bi of context to Dr Ruina's detailed help: You need the FFX add-on for your game. You didn't say if it was the first Freedom Force or Freedom Force vs the 3rd Reich. For that second one, FFX3 is at https://ffx.freedomforce4ever.com/. For the first game though, I'm not sure if the FFX site is still available.

P.S.: Could a mod move this discussion to the Freedom Force Forums, please?
