Vanilla Dragoon Troop Only Using Bodyslam?? Topic

Hello again,
So Since the last time I received help on the forum things have been going quite well. Ran into a few road bumps but for the most part I was able to figure them out. This however has me confused. I created an enemy troop That is only supposed to have two abilities in battle, Heal and Zero Storm (A Spear Skill), as well as the standard Attack command. Yet, for some bizarre reason, the enemy only uses Attack and... Bodyslam? This is very strange.

Once again, any help is appreciated.

What does the casting message for Zero Storm say (in the database, that is)?

Also they'll never use Heal. From 0-0% HP, they're dead. Try 50% to 0% (or whatever).

The enemy never even uses Zero Storm. They just use Attack and Bodyslam. Thing is, I never even gave the character Bodyslam. They do however use Heal after their health drops below 50%, as is intended (Though for some reason when not in the dialogue box, it appears to be set at 0-0%). This is the skill the enemy SHOULD be using.

Try deleting them all and then redoing. Also, check that the normal attack you have them using doesn't have the move message changed.

If that doesn't work, make a copy of Zero Storm and link it to see if it works.

Alright, so I went back and recreated the enemy from scratch, making sure everything was the same. She has the Spear equipped and I also went back and changed Zero Storm from Sword Skill to Spear Skill, which I see that I originally forgot to do. To experiment, I only gave her Attack (Priority 5) and Zero Storm (Priority 10). She is only attacking in the Battle Test. It's like Zero Storm isn't even in her repertoire.

Do you have any scripts added?

Nope, just vanilla RPGMaker VX Ace.

Try taking away Attack and just leaving her with Zero Storm. Then try remaking Zero Storm. Then check to see if Spear has any issues with it. Then post up a demo here so we can tear into it and see if we can help in any way.

Oh, maybe the enemy needs more TP? Try making a version that doesn't cost TP or MP for her to use and test that too.

Check your troop event page, maybe? The only time I'm familiar with an enemy using a skill it doesn't technically know is when an event command is makin' em do it.

I changed the TP requirement to 0 and that did the trick. Where do you go to give an enemy TP by the way? I'm not sure why the first version of the enemy was using Bodyslam of all things. With that first enemy, I had removed everything but Attack, then added Zero Storm and she didn't do anything. She was all messed up.

Also Mawk, in separate instances I have toyed around with adding events to Troop Event Pages and haven't had any results of any kind. What's the trick with that? The typical events don't seem to have any effect.

You can make it part of the Features so that they generate TP too
