Changing Weapon Hit Animation based on States? Possible?

[Korten12]

So in my game I have it so a character can imbue an element onto themselves or a party member. However when they attack with their basic, the "hit" animation of the enemy still does the weapons default animation. So even though the character is hitting with a fire element, it doesn't look like it because it just uses the regular: "Slash Physical."

It would be cool if to make it so the weapon changes to "Slash Fire" when Imbued with the state: Fire Imbued.

This possible? 

Edit: So since this was moved to the Plugin Request.

The script needs to be able to, when a specific state is upon a ally, that their weapons animation hit changes. So if a player who uses a sword, gets fire imbued, then the hit animation changes from "Slash Physical" to "Slash Fire." Likewise if the weapons are claws or gloves, then it goes from "Hit Physical" to "Hit Fire." This then needs to be able to be replicated for all the elements. I'm thinking that somehow, in the Notes of each weapon, I could do a script call that involves some sort of if statement that checks if a specific element state is on the user and changes accordingly.

I think you will need to create a common event that sets, for example, that when X character has X state, the equipped weapon changes to the fire slash animation. Badly, i don't know how to do that, sorry

It's a good idea... I just don't know how to that myself as well. Shall keep trying.

Oh... I didn't think this was a plugin request. I just thought this was possible with the base stuff.

There are two kinds of animations - one is the animation that plays on the target when you use a skill or attack, and is set up in the Animations tab of the database.  The other is the weapon animation that depends on the type of weapon you have equipped and is set up in the System tab of the database.

Regardless of which one you're talking about, if you want to change them based on state, you will need a plugin or a script mod.  Therefore, Plugin Requests is where it belongs.

Ah, I see. I guess I shall edit my main post then.
