RANDOM BATTLES? NO PROBLEM! RM2K3

I think the only way would be to create a custom battle system and then you would be able to do what you said. But otherwise i don't know.

You can.

Here's what you need:
Your random monster group. Fill it up with 9 enemies (the maximum number - 1), for example, have three Monster A's, three Monster B's, and three Monster C's and make them all invisible (right click on the enemy and select the only option that comes up)

Next add a 'Dummy' enemy, and make sure he has no monster graphics (or his monster graphic is completely transparent). He's just there to get the battle started. Since all the other enemies are invisible, the fight will just end as soon as it starts without him.

Now add a battle event that triggers on Turn 0/Turns Elapsed 0. Here's where you decide who you fight. For example, you could do something like this:


SomeVariable = RandomNumber 0 to 1
if(SomeVariable == 0)
ShowHiddenMonster 1:MonsterA
SomeVariable = RandomNumber 0 to 1
if(SomeVariable == 0)
ShowHiddenMonster 2:MonsterB
SomeVariable = RandomNumber 0 to 1
if(SomeVariable == 0)
ShowHiddenMonster 3:MonsterC
ect.


This algorithm is not recommended, since you could have random groups of nine monsters, or none. Its just there for demonstration.
Then at the end of the event:


Change Condtion: 10: DummyMonster to DEAD


This removes the Dummy monster from the fight so you won't have to kill him to win the fight.

Edit the random revealing accordingly.

*edit*
We need code tags.

Correction:
That does something.

Hmm, sounds like something in a newer version of RM2k3. I don't have a Random choice at all.

Nice to see it is possible without the method I described above though.

I've found a way to create random battles.

First off you're going to need to open the "M. Group" tab. Create a new monster group called "Random Monsters".

Now, here's the secret, let's say you wanted to use Goblins as your monster group. Find the goblin and click the add 8 times. You should now have 8 goblins lined up in your battle screen. Finally, highlight your "Random Monster" group and press "ctrl+r", or right click your "Random Monster" group and click the Random button.

Once you do this, every battle will randomly generate up to 8 monsters on screen.

Try it out. It's a lot better than making 1 goblin group, 2 goblins group, etc and then adding them all in the created area.

Congrats to you on figuring this out. Unfortunately i have no use for this as i have no random encounters. ;)

I absolutely love the (R)andom function. You could only make one group for each area of the game!

It should be noted here that using this feature can cause problems if you have modified the dbs by defining battle events for monster groups.
