Also a syntax update... In the AI there's a command called "Cast Black or White Magic Spell" and "Cast a Special Spell". Now the first one tells the enemy to randomly single target an ally or enemy. The second one tells the game to Multi-Target. There doesn't seem to be much special about it. I can change that easily enough with the indexes, but its just something to keep in mind.
Ok cool, I just got those descriptions either from some file or from some post here. Is the wording the only issue there, or does any of the actual functionality need changing?
Ok so I found this in my to-do list and started investigating. It appears the "parameter" menu for "cast a black or white spell" only allows, well, black or white spells, and the "cast a special spell" allows any white spell, and any black spell up to Psych/Osmose.
I suspect that second one was supposed to list monster spells or something and just had its index thrown off (never mind, upon further investigation there's a separate index for that).
But what I'm wondering is, should it be the case that both of these, "cast a single-target spell" or "cast a group-target spell", be allowed to take any spell, player spell or monster technique alike? (again, upon further investigation there isn't enough room for those indexes...)
So just to verify, it seems that you can have a monster single-target any black or white spell, but only multi-target the ones in that range? That's bizzarre... but then again that's FF4 for ya...
