"Hiding Enemies" Help

DarkWolfInsanity · 2016-03-10T04:03:35+0900

What I'm attempting to do is something similar to say the Whelk boss at the beginning of Final Fantasy 6. Every few turns or so, the enemy hides inside a shell, making it unattackable and attacking the shell will cause an attack to happen. Example of the Whelk: I've got it set up to make the enemy reappear, but I'm unsure how to make it disappear in the first place (like a reverse appear halfway). Back in VXAce, there was the script fucntion that states the following that did this. $game_troop.members[1].hide However, this script function no longer exists in MV, simply giving an reference error stating that $game_troop is undefined. This is perhaps because of the move from RUBY to Java. How would I go about hiding an enemy now?

$gameTroop.members()[1].hide();

Hi. I'm returning to this project after as you can tell about 3 years and I'm having the same issue again. Now the script command that mrcopra put in isn't working and I can't seem to find any way to make it work again. Help would be appreciated either in plugin form or script.

Hell nevermind. It was an issue on my part. I replaced the 1 with a 2 to try and hide the "other" enemy that i added to the troops second. Apparently it still removes the one I wanted when I have the 1 in place, while the 2 crashes the script. So I'm assuming that 0 would be the first enemy added.

What would the opposite of the command be? Show, unhide, or just the call to show halfway enemies?
