MA Growth: 50           MA Multiplier: 95


Skills:

Juggle: Acts as the Throw command but tosses three weapons at the enemy (Reaction: Catch will defend 3 times over) Restricted to Knives, Magic Balls and swords (perhaps shurikens?)

Juggle: Knives 200JP

Well, it can be done. I'm not entirely sure you can make the "Throw" restrict what items you can throw. Try your hand at it, and let me know how it goes.

Also, for future reference, this post belongs under this forum: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4268 (http://ffhacktics.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4268)

I'd like to see how this turns out!

Thanks for the feed back. Any ideas of how to make throwing knives????

I'll re post this in the proper forum

I don't think you need to re post it;).
Throwing Knives might "could" be done. I would suggest making shurikens throwing knives. I think you can change the sprite for them too.

Hmm... Maybe fraps. http://www.fraps.com/ (http://www.fraps.com/). I'm not positive on how to use it, but I'm pretty sure it's really good. Hyper-cam sucks.

Also, thanks for liking my idea! XD

Shurikens and Bombs can't be equipped. You could take the sprite for them and make a ranged direct weapon for it.

Thing is, this might not be possible, seeing as you can't combine a "Throw" skillset with regular skills. It's skillset Action menu conflicts. Also, Catch probably won't be able to react 3 times, since not even Blade Grasp can do that.

Hmmmm... doesent the FAQ from Zodiac say ANYTHING is possible with ASM? :) Cant you take the formula from "Throw" and use it as a skill?

Post by: Pride on October 20, 2010, 11:42:17 pm
Yes, if you wanted to do that route. The formula is either the last or second to last which is Speed*WP. I'm not sure how you'd do the animations though.

I meant renaming shurikan to throwing knife - and changing the sprite.

Ah, I see.

It should work. Though, I'm not positive if the sprite can actually be changed.

The purchase Sprite can be changed.... I can take it off of being "Throwable" Add to "Equippable" but I have to changed the animation for attacking to being thrown.... add some range to the weapon and Viola.

that should work :)

I'm taking away the "Instrument" weapon to make room for Throwing Knives.

No need for apologies. All newbies triple post. I almost got banned from Zophars because of triple posting (First few weeks on forum)

@Mari:

You avatar is f'd up.
