Having A Monster Transform When Another Monster Dies

[Zerro00]

The idea is during the boss fight, as you kill the monster they are absorbed by another one.
But also that if you hit a monster to a certain percentage of health, have them become immortal and absorb a certain monster.

Monster A dies and Monster B absorbs it and becomes Monster B+.
Monster B gets so low it almost dies but becomes immortal long enough to absorb Monster A. Monster A is removed from battle and Monster B becomes Monster B+.

You need to use Events on the Troops (Database).

You set the conditions (Monster A HP < X, etc) then you set the Events parameters, etc.

I'm fairly new to RPG Maker so I don't really know how to do that.

That's exactly how it works. The event you set will happen only in that enemy group you created.

You know how to access the Database, then configure enemy troops?

Yes. I've also been trying to figure out how to have dialogue in the middle of a battle.

Could you explain the steps all at once please?

In each troop, there's their respective Events page where you create the Events for that particular troop.

Create Events for battle is not so different from Map Events, but for then to happen, they need to have a condition set (in the example, the enemy Playboy HP must be 0, otherwise, this event will never happen).

I will post a detailed explanation on how to do that transformation you asked tomorrow (it's over midnight here now, and I have to wake early tomorrow ).

But it's not that hard to do what you want.

Basically… You have to create four enemies, A, B, A+ and B+. A+ and B+ will be invisible and only will appear when the conditions are meet (A's HP is lower than X%, etc). Then, to make things more fancy, you play a battle animation before the transformation and voilà.

As a note on this, It'll be a four monster battle where one monster keeps absorbing the others.

Here is the example, I used only A and B (and their respectives +).

When A's HP reaches 0, we show an animation on B (to represent the absorbing effect), then we call B+ and kill B (now he is B+, so we removed the previous version of it).

For the "+" versions, you right click on then and select "Appear Midway", so they won't appear in the battle until you call then through events.
Now, you will repeat this process in new pages, each one separated for each enemy that will absorb others.

By the way, I created a series of tutorials for beginners on RM2k3 on this forum (check my signature), I hope it helps you out.

Let me know, if you still have any questions.

This helped me so much! Thank you!

In fact I do have a few more questions. Is there a way I'd be able to contact you directly? I'm being pretty...ambitious with my first project if I do say so myself.
