Modding tips and tricks

[Ragnarok-X]

I dont think random effects, like tartarian gate or crossbreeding are possible.

1)There is a way to reduce the upkeep an unit costs? without making it holy, ofc.
2)Can i make unit with a #forestshape and a #mouontainshape or is it limited to one?

You could give the unit a #plainshape that it shifts to after it's built that costs less.

You should be able to make a thing with multiple shapes as long as you are careful with your shapechange commands.

Looking in the previous pages of this topic i've found the firstshape "trick", i'll use it.
#plainshape works only when you leave a forest, doesn't it?

Do you know which terrains have a #shape option?

I think it still works, even if not leaving a forest. Even if it doesn't, #landshape might.

Anyway, your goal would be served by the #firstshape trick of 'He Who Must Not Be Named'.

Do you know which terrains have a #shape option?

These are the only ones, as of now:
#landshape <-> #watershape
#plainshape <-> #forestshape

I believe that's all of them, yes. I'd have to look in the manual to make sure there aren't any more. That's not something I've worked with too much.

Sombre is/was You-Know-Who? Why noone told me?

Did you know:
- Popkill and leper only work on commanders.
- A pretender with the changeshape commmand needs a higher monsternr for his second shape. Or it will not show up in the pretender list.

AFAIK it can't be done, except by stealing one of the existing spells that do random summons and overwriting the monsters it can summon with your own monster list.
