This has been driving me crazy for a little while. I'm trying to make a system where you can talk to the enemies during battle and convince them to join you. i want to have "affection" of enemies increase if you give them what they want, and I would use variables for the affection. What I'm having trouble with is how to keep track of which enemy has how much affection.

Is there a way I can check a monsters number within the troop? For example, if I want to add 5 affection to monster 1, how would I go about saying "if target monster is #1 in the troop, then variable a. =+5". I'm setting this up within a common event as well.

Thanks for such a prompt reply!

I have it set up as $game_variables[4] = $game_troop.members[1].enemy_id but it's coming up with the error undefined method 'enemy_id' for nil:nilclass

Am I doing something stupid?

Edit: The explanation may have been poorly worded. I'm looking to make it so if I use this skill on "enemy 1", then the variable associated with enemy 1 increases. Is there a way I can make it so "if skill a. hits enemy 1, variable x is set to 1. But if skill a. hits enemy 2, variable x is set to 2."?

You're right, that was the reason for the error :/ Still can't make it accomplish exactly what I'm looking for unfortunately, so I would really appreciate a script. Thanks for taking the time =)

The way I want the enemy trust system to work is you use a talk skill on an enemy, and he tells you what he wants. If you give him what he wants, his trust of you will increase, which I'm going to use a variable for.

So the script would be to take the index of the enemy you use the skill on into a variable. For example, if I use the skill on the first enemy in the troop, then when his trust goes up it will increase variable a. If I use the skill on the second enemy in the troop however, then variable b. will increase. I'll be using 4 variables, which is the max number of enemies I'm going to have in a single battle.

Nope, whenever you get a chance is great, thanks =)
