# Flash Selected Enemy
# Version: 1.0.0
# Author: modern algebra (rmrk.net)
# Date: July 18, 2012
#++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
# Description:
#
# This script will flash the battler of any enemy currently selected when
# the player is targetting.
#++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
# Instructions:
#
# Paste this script into its own slot in the Script Editor, above Main but
# below Materials.
#
# This script is designed to work with the DBS and may be incompatible with
# other battle scripts.
#
# This script is completely plug & play, and without modification the
# selected enemy will whiten. If you want to change the colour to which it
# flashes, the duration of the flash, or the time between flashes, then go to
# the editable region starting at line 30 and change those three options.
