ENDA[/code]

so this is what happens in the game

so right now i’m about to load Otters (which is just 1 unit)

cool, that worked fine, now let’s load O2 (cleric)

wat. That myrmidon just vanished and went over there…

and then he vanished again and another myrmidon took the place of O3 (which was the soldier)

what the hell is going on here. I haven’t reached the enemy limit, there’s like not even 30 enemy units in total. my code is fine and everything. But 1 random unit is just disapearing and reapearing on his own. And the cleric doesn’t even show up.

WHY GAME

2

what happens if you remove those LOU1s or try loading units in isolation (this isn’t trying to be a hint or anything, I’m legitimately curious)

3

i commented out otters and tried O2, then i tried the same with O3

and more confusing stuff happened

that mirmydon next to the boss STILL vanishes and reappears.

the cleric (O2) nor the soldier (O3) NEVER even appear. only the fucking Wyvern works.

replacing the cleric or soldier with a wyvern just repeats the original sequence I showed

and deleting the myrmidon that vanishes doesn’t fix the problem because the soldier next to him in the corridor just vanishes and reappears in the room instead

4

Here’s a thought - Have you tried using a different char number, or loading them at a different point in the event (just for experiment)? I have absolutely no idea what’s going on, but my gut tells me there’s something fishy happening behind the scenes that I’d need to check directly (so let’s instead try this very roundabout method of troubleshooting that may reveal the problem)

E:

I suppose another thing to try is to put all three enemies in the same unit group or grouping them in a single LOU1 (as in LOU1 Otter O2 O3)

5

wow.
so i changed their character ID and it worked a bit better, that myrmidon stayed in place.
But onluy O2 vanished instead of both O2 and O3.

I then realized that i’ve been trying to load Allies instead of Enemies (dumb)

Otters:
UNIT 0x6C Wyv Jerme Level(3, Enemy, 1) [18,16] [17,16] [SteelSpear] BetterGuard
UNIT
O2:
UNIT 0x6C Cleric Jerme Level(3, Ally 1) [18,16] [19,16] [Shine, Mend, Elixir] BetterGuard
UNIT
O3:
UNIT 0x6C Soldier Jerme Level(6, Ally, 1) [18,16] [18,15] [Javelin] BetterGuard
UNIT

I changed it from Ally to enemy and they appeared… Then I changed the character ID back to 0x6C and it started working like it’s supposed to.

so by changing O2 and O3 to Enemies instead of allies, it worked.
But that’s strange, they would vanish if they were allies and an enemy would take the place of the disapearing ally generic??

idk,

lol

6

I wonder if it’s because the game doesn’t like it when there’s more than one allied unit with the same charID (hence it tries to “clone” an existing enemy with that ID)? Who knows lol

7

oh you might be on to something there!

thanks for helping
