Notes
AI Unit list of usable moves 8019f3c4 - 0x0ef0
- Weapon inventory : 3 Abilities for shuriken (1 per type of shuriken)
3 Abilities for Ball (1 per type of Ball)
1 unique ability for all other weapons (if one is known)
0x00 - Item ID if shuriken or Ball - Else 0x00
0x01 - Unit ID * 4
0x02 - Skillset ID
- Mathematics : No "known ability" check. 1 Move only.
0x00 - Nothing
0x01 - Unit ID * 4
0x02 - Skillset ID
- Charge : Ignored if Unit uses a gun (AI data 0x8019f3c4 - 0x1778)
If not, processed as default
- Jump : only one ability is stored, either the best "Level jump" one, or no ability ID (if only a vertical jump is known)
0x00 - Ability ID (or 0x00 if only vertical jump abilities are known)
0x01 - Unit ID *4
0x02 - Skillset ID (or 0x12 hardcoded if no level jump ability are known)
- Default/Others case
0x00 - Ability ID
0x01 - Unit ID *4
0x02 - Skillset ID
Note : Monsters skillsets : The "requires monster skill" flag is Enabled for the
last ability and disabled for the others. (So the Patcher checkbox seems useless)
Hardcoded mechanics
- Weapon inventory : Shuriken ID (from 0x7a) and Ball ID (from 0x7d)
The loop stops at 0x0c (Any ability beyond this point will be ignored)
- Charge : Guns are checked by ID (0x47 to 0x4d)
- Jump skillset hardcoded as 0x12 if only "vertical jump" abilities are known
- Requires Monster Skill flag : Forced ON for the last ability in skillset (Disabled if not)
BUG ?
- The [Affected by Faith] ability flag is loaded from 0x8019f3c4 - 0x0d Byte. This flag is not updated during the loop, and
i'm not sure what is stored here at this point. I feel it should be loaded from SCUS data table.
