I have a couple formulas I'm working on where simply viewing the attack preview window causes the changes to actually occur, even if you back out before confirming that you want to execute the ability.
Here is one I'm having an issue with:
This is basically Edgar's debilitator tool from FFVI, which causes the target to be weak to a random element. The code begins with a copy/paste of formula 3F (Mustadio's snipe), then most everything from 00188fd4 on down are the element roll and changes. I'm clearly missing something I need since simply running the attack preview and backing out does make the target weak to a random element. Also, if you follow through and confirm the attack, it doesn't yield any XP or JP like normal (but does add an additional weakness on top of the attack preview.)
Anyone know what I'm missing on this?
