In FFTpatcher Ability Section there is a flag at bottom section named "Random Fire",what does this flag do?

I've check and saw Hydra Triple Attack and Truth/Unthruth use this flag,but does that random hit property already included from the formula itself?Whats the point of this flag?

No, it's not part of the Truth/Un-truth formula, you need the flag for those abilities and any other that you wish to apply the behaviour to, force a randomly selected tile to be the target of the ability.

Love what you're seeing? https://supportus.ffhacktics.com/ 💜 it's really appreciated

Anything is possible as long as it is within the hardware's limits. (ie. disc space, RAM, Video RAM, processor, etc.)

<Raijinili> remember that? it was awful

What would happen if Truth/Untruth without Random Fire flagged?

IIRC it would just hit all the targets within the area, but since these effects were not coded for AoE, it will only display the effect on one target, and only display damage for that one, while still affecting all the targets in the AoE.
