MOG_ChronoEngine - Changing character sprite mid-battle

[Shadwmoses]

Hello, I apologize if my questions get confusing to understand. I've tried to get to actors to change their sprite into a ghost sprite upon death (the sprites are all given the necessary action pose suffixes except the default "$hero01.png".)" in the ATB Chrono Battle mode while being affected by an Immortal State (to bypass gameover) but to no avail.

Is there any work around or method to change the sprite mid-battle? I've tried [Change Image] but it only works for a moment before it returns to default sprite poses. It also works once the battle is over, which defeats the purpose as the dead actor is removed post-battle. If there's any information needed to solve this, I'll try and provide it.

not sure but try "this.setCharacterName()"

Thanks for the response!

I'm still learning this stuff, so I apologize if my question is foolish: Is that a Scriptcall?

If it is, do I replace the CharacterName into the ghost sprite set's name?
(I named it $hero01dead with action suffix poses such as $hero01dead_damage)

I have a feeling I gave that set the wrong name.

yeah it's a script call. put it in as this.('$hero01dead') whenever you need it

alternatively you can patch in dead pose functionality, which mog has half-implemented but never put in.

Try adding these as a plugin at the end, see if it works.

//==============================
// * do we need a faint Pose
//==============================
Game_CharacterBase.prototype.isFaintPose = function() {
	
	 if (!this.hasNoFaintPose &&this.battler().actorId && this.battler().isDead()) {return true
	 }else{
		 if (this.battler().isDead())
		 {
			 this.hasNoFaintPose=true;
		 }
	 };
};


//==============================
// * set faint Pose
//==============================
Game_CharacterBase.prototype.setFaintPose = function() {
	 if (this.battlerPoses()) {
		 this._poses.idle[1] = this._poses.idle[2];
	     return this._originalName.name + "_death";
	 };
	 return "";
};

Note that this will require _death poses for your actors otherwise rmmv will do the standard 'I don't have this image' hissy fit.

This works! Thank you so much for your help!
