Body Snatch
By Épiméthée
Buy as: Possession only.
Intensity effect: none
Effect:
This is a variant of Possession. With this swap, rather than remaining behind in unhittable state, as with the FFvTTR version of Possession, the source character will disappear when possessing the target and at the end of the possession, he'll reappear just beside the body from which he's been ejected.
Possession with Powers
By TaskMasterX
Buy as: Possession only.
Intensity effect: none
Effect:
This works just like the Body Snatch Swap with the added feature of the Possessor acquiring extra Powers during the Possession. You can customize the Powers that the Possessor gets. This can be used to simulate the Possessor bringing over some of his existing Powers from his character to the possessed character, or to simulate the Possessor acquiring new Powers only during a Possession. The Possessor can get up to two Attributes and three Powers. You need to add the swap line in ffxcustom.py, just like all the other swaps that are in ffx2.py. Then the Swap is customized in ffxcustom2.py.
Customisation
NOTE:
Because Possession with Powers is one of the swaps in ffx2.py it will not appear in the FFX Control Center. You’ll need to manually edit the ffxcustom.py file to add the line for your character’s State Swap. State Swaps are all the way at the bottom of the ffxcustom.py file. Add the line after the last State Swap but before the last bracket ]. Like this:
["possessor","possession","possessionwithpowers","all"],
]
Then you’ll edit ffxcustom2.py to customize the Swap.
- FX: the FX loop you want to play on the target during the grapple. Found in the Resources tab in FFEdit.
- Use Current Strength: type "Yes" if you want to use the character’s Strength as the Hold Strength of the grapple and type "No" if you want to use a value instead. You’d choose "No" if the character is using a device for the grapple and not his own hands.
- Hold Strenth: if you’re not using the character’s Strength, then put in a number (no quotes) for the Hold Strength value between 1-10.
- Power: This is the name of the Power in FFEdit that is triggered on the target every 3 seconds during the hold.
Example:
### Possession with Powers
FFX_POSSESSION_WITH_POWERS_CUSTOM=[
["default","","","","","","","",""],
["types","AAttribute1","AAttribute2","CCommand1","sPower1","CCommand2","sPower2","CCommand3","sPower3"],
["possessor","ffqbasiclevitation","supertk","MIND BLAST","possessor_mind_blast","PLASMA GENERATION","possessor_plasma_generation","TELEPORT","possessor_teleportation"],
]
The first slot is for the character’s name, the next two slots are for Attributes as they are found in the Attributes tab in FFEdit. Next is each of the Power Commands followed by their associated powers as they are found in the Powers or Defense tabs in FFEdit.
