Spruce Up Your D.B.S part 3

This tutorial deals with that final fantasy favorite the scan attack

 What you need to know

•	Variables
•	Switches
•	A good knowledge of the monster database tab 


The Main event…

This is the skill call it scan or whatever…
Set the mp cost (perhaps 1 or 2)
Set as a switch 
Make a switch called “SCAN”
Set it so the skill turns on the aforementioned switch
That’s step 1!

Making it work in battle

Now you need to set a limit on party size for my example lets say 2
Create 4 variables named thus

MONSTER1 HP
MONSTER1 MP

MONSTER2 HP
MONSTER2 HP

You could make several more pairs if you wanted to allow bigger monster parties

Now go to the monster party tab for your event trigger (this has been discussed in an earlier tutorial)
Set it to switch on- SCAN 
Now use the change variable to set the MONSTER1 HP variable to monster 1 hp and so forth now have a message saying
“MONSTER 1 HP \v[??] MP \v[??]
“MONSTER 2 HP \v[??] MP \v[??]

Please note that the question marks indicate the variable number is needed

Now finally turn switch SCAN off

Copy and paste this to all monster parties

If you have time call the monsters by name and give weaknesses (this requires a lot of editing)

HAPPY CODING!
