Change a Units Affinity Based on Tactician Affinity?

Questions
1

I understand how to change the name of a unit to match the tactician and even how to change the gender of a unit based upon the choice of Tactician’s gender but what I want to know is how I can go about doing this?

If the Tactician’s affinity is Wind. I want Eliwood’s Affinity to change to Wind, based on this decision. If the Tactician’s affinity is dark I want Eliwood’s Affinity to change to dark.

Is there anyone willing to lend a hand in this? It’s complicated but I imagine it’s doable.

You’d need to have multiple unit slots based on the tactician affinity and have a routine that checks for their affinity and loads a unit based on that result. It’s certainly doable.

I think affinity is otherwise not stored in the RAM IIRC.

Mmm. No way to avoid using multiple unit slots since it would essentially mean using twelve slots total. Male and Female.

Actually, it gives me an idea.

Can anyone help me write this?

EDIT: Never mind I managed it. Hue.

No way…!

I did. Script looks something like this.

I did this in my modular battle demo hack. I had sever consecutive characters corresponding to the affinities, then these codes: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/gf92wmr16ddp3c7/AAB74Ol71358aGsKoktUduH8a?dl=0

Hella inefficient tho… Every character slot matters. It works fine for tech demos and short hacks, I guess, but not for a full-scale ROM hack.

Which is why you need code although easier said than done etc
