Playing around with a short cheesy game, and of course, I feel the need to overcomplicate things which has piqued my interest.  I have a skill that deals no damage, but has a variety of effects based on which type of enemy it hits.

I'm having it call a CE to resolve, but I realize that I don't have a way to specify the effect based on the type of enemy hit.  I'd want it to do something where...if a Bird was targeted, let's say, it wouldn't be airborne and could thus be hit by Earth Elemental attacks for a round or two.  Or if used on a Lava type, it would get doused which would increase its defense, but lower its speed, etc etc.  It's purely a situational-based skill, I would just need it to 'know' what type of enemy it's targeting.

As a work around, as per the title, if I were able to set the Enemy's ID based on it being targeted into a variable, I could make it work that way as well. 

Thanks!

Have the common event simply turn on the switch for a battle event. Customize the battle event for each troop, and have the battle event turn off the switch when it's done. Also, set the span to "moment".

That still doesn't solve the issue of having multiple types of enemies in one troop.  I guess I could avoid that for now, though.  I can use this as a workaround until I figure something else out.  Thanks bro

I thought of a way. Make the skill inflict a state with non-resistance and priority level 0. Make the battle event check which enemy is inflicted with the state, and then resolve the effect and remove the state.

Oh-ho.  I like it.  Simple, but it works.  Thanks!
