Make the boss punish you for trying to wipe them

[half abyss]

Exactly what it says.

@sullen wraith @proven cairn

[sullen wraith]

ok

let me thing#

think

Idealy we start with the check if they have the skill, if they never use it then they will usually never equip the persona, though there might be ways to avoid it idk

actually there s

there is

unless you have your boss have insta heal

[proven cairn]

bool PLAYER_HAS_SKILL(int PlayerID, int SkillID)

[sullen wraith]

this ^ with instal heal should keep you safe from cheese

Or you could just repel almighty

because things like this are already pretty funny

[half abyss]

Hm, maybe.

That might make the boss a little too hard though.

I don't want him to be full-on impossible

[sullen wraith]

unless you also null phys I thin you'll be fine

[half abyss]

The main thing I don't really want to see people spam him with is myraid truths and rebellion blade.

Think Twilight Skills made rebellion blade literally op

ok didn't realize there was a thread for this now
I saw in the list of functions on GitHub AI_CHK_ENUSESKIL() and AI_CHK_ENIDUSESKIL (as well as for FR) but it didn't work when I tried it

[sullen wraith]

[small rune]

there was also USEATTR which I doubt works
just make them reflect almighty

that was said already I am a worthless fraud

[half abyss]

That would be kinda funny to see someone use myraid truths and seeing the transparent shield over the enemy

Though Yu used myraid truths in his fight and it did no damage.

[small rune]

it appears even if you use a showtime or all-out attack
though the funniest case was by far Down Shot

[half abyss]

Down shot's almighty??

I legit thought it was a gun skill that pierced resistance

[small rune]

how would that work

[half abyss]

Idk

[small rune]

I tried looking how Sae's Penalty and the Book of Commandments work, the former is all bitflags and the second I couldn't tell what was going on

[half abyss]

So anyway, if I wanna make the boss use 603 megidolaon do I do like this:

bool PLAYER_HAS_SKILL( 1, 713 )
if true AI_ACT_PERSONA_SKILL( 103, 603

IS that right?

[sullen wraith]

kinda

its more like

[half abyss]

713 being myraid truths and 603 being the wipe skill btw

[sullen wraith]

if ( PLAYER_HAS_SKILL( 1, 713 ) == 1 )
{
    AI_ACT+PERSONA_SKILL( 103, 603 )
}

[half abyss]

Also, can I make it so it's like reload?

Where as soon as you use it, the boss just spams 603, not just once but until the battles over

[sullen wraith]

yeah?

Just have varible it sets that you check at the start of the turn

[half abyss]

I'm not good at AI so I'm not sure how to do varibles and stuff

[sullen wraith]

if ( PLAYER_HAS_SKILL( 1, 713 ) == 1 )
{
    AI_ACT_PERSONA_SKILL( 103, 603 );
    wipe_skill = 1;
}

[small rune]

actually I was wondering
can you write it just like if (PLAYER_HAS_SKILL( 1, 713 ) ) or does it have to check the bool

[sullen wraith]

You should be able to but lets keep it simple

[half abyss]

do I replace wipe_skill with 603 or 713?

[small rune]

you'd check it above there

also could set them to have more turns

[sullen wraith]

oh yeah sorry I was tesing

let me type it out

int wipe_skill = 0;

AI_MAIN()
{
    if ( wipe_skill == 1 )
    {
        AI_ACT_PERSONA_SKILL( 103, 603 ):
        AI_TAR_RND();
        return;
    }
    (rest of your ai main is here)
}

Sorry im tired and am going to bed

But I had to help out first

[small rune]

AtlusFlowCompiler rejects PLAYER_HAS_SKILL as a thing

[sullen wraith]

I think its a cbt thing

[small rune]

oh :)

[sullen wraith]

yes

anyway bedtime
