Final Fantasy Hacktics

So I'm trying to get a regular charged spell (CT 6, weapon range in this case) to disable movement. The issue I'm having is that the ability is supposed to be melee only. But, currently, the caster is able to begin casting the ability, walk away from the target, and still hit the target from their new position. Basically, I want the ability to function the same as the archer's aim ability.

How do I achieve this?

So I want to use Pride.xml's "Charge gains unique status effects", only instead of a chance to inflict status, I want it to always inflict status. Can someone explain to me how I would make this change?

I haven't started hex editing yet, but if that's what is required, I'm more than willing to learn. Just not sure where to start.

I appreciate the response. I'm not at the level of ASM hacking yet. I figured this was a hard code thing though. Just wanted to make sure I hadn't missed something in the patcher.

Haha thanks Nyzer. I completely missed the Join After Event there.

I'd like to be able to edit the starting party (as in before the battle in Gariland with the thieves). Is there a way to do this? I'm looking through FFTPatcher and can't seem to find it there.

Is there a tutorial somewhere that would show me if/how this is possible?

To be more specific, I'd like to be able to adjust activation rates for things like Hamedo.

Gotcha. Ok thanks.

So I'm learning how to use FFTPatcher. I've consulted the page on formulas in the wiki. I'm just not sure whether I'm reading these formulas correctly or not. Here's an example:

Blind uses: 0A Hit_F(MA+X)%

Does this mean: "Faith(Caster's Faith * Target's Faith / 100^2) * (MA + X)"? And whatever that spits out is the % of spell success?

Edit: Also, to increase hit rate of the base spell, do I simply raise the value of X in FFTPatcher?

Solved: I figured out I was reading the formulas correctly.

Hello. Big FFT fan here and I'm loving what you guys have done for FFT with all the amazing mods. So, I've started to dip my toes into modding myself and the first question that popped into my head was this:

Is it possible to create a skill that allows a character to transform into a monster?

Based on what I've read so far, I take it this would likely be a monumental task, but it was worth asking anyway. Fingers crossed...
