Final Fantasy Hacktics

ok so in my mod,elmdor joins the team to help defeat the zodiac demons,however i noticed that you cannot use his sword spirit moves...
i have the correct katanas and even tried equipping the correct katana on him and nothing seems to work?
he only seems to work on auto battle? is his skill set hardcoded?

the skillset corresponds to the correct job,what action menu??

how weird,i made a geomancer and gave him the ability set that has all the skills unlocked then gave him any ground and his menu appears in battle but its greyed out

thanks guys that helped alot,now about abilities,i modded the npcs skillset so they can have all their job abilities but monks,lancers and geomancers and samurais never use their skillset?

what counts as a unique sprite? i was only using base jobs not special ones?
and i wasnt adding units i was simply changing there default job.

hello everyone,i am working on a mod for fft that only changes npcs jobs and default items.
in the first battle(orbonne) i replaced the knight with a summoner and the others with ninjas and set their equipment and abilities,removing alicia and lavian,rads sprite is green and orange(glitched?)
also i noticed when you set a npcs skill to punch art or sword skill they never use them?
can anyone help?
