Revision as of 19:16, 27 July 2011 by my_wiki>NFITC1 (Added timing info of the effects now that I know that's what that means)

Attacks and Items can have additional Special Effects that take place after Damage Calculation is performed. Several of them take a Modifier that further defines what action to take. If the Effect doesn't take a modifier, the modifier is NULL (FFh). In addition, these effects have specific timings. There are six different timings that will be explained later. Here are the valid values (between 0 - 23h) with examples of some attacks that have these values. If another value is provided it will be ignored.

NOTE: For these two Effects, if they are not called as part of a Limit Break they will return an index of 0.
For Effect 0Fh, this means performing "Game Over" and ending the battle in a victory.
For Effect 13h, the player's characters' battle queues freeze and no PC can perform any action after this was selected. Enemies still attack. The reason for this is unknown.

Timings

As mentioned, the different timings indicate when the effects take place during the process of executing the command:

  • T0: Takes place immediately before damage calculation occurs. If there is no damage calculation, this will not activate.
  • T1: Takes place immediately after damage calculation occurs. If there is no damage calculation, this will not activate.
  • T2: After Command is selected and loaded, but before anything actually happens.
  • T3: Takes place immediately after damage calculation would occur. Will activate whether there is damage done or not.
  • T4: Takes place after T3, but after several other alterations to attacker's data are performed. If there is no damage calculation, this will not activate.
  • T5: Action Resolution. After Damage Calculations and animation(s) are done this will be triggered for each active actor.

For effects that have more than one timing, there are more than one functions associated with them.
ex.
Effect 05h ends the battle without reward. It has a T2 and a T5 command. The T2 command will check if the battle can be escaped from. If it can it sets the "run modifier" to full. The T5 command will actually set the battle to having been escaped from. If it's possible to escape from the battle, it will.
