FF7/Command data

KERNEL.BIN - Section 1: Command data format

This section contains the data for Menu commands.
There are 32 entries of 8 bytes in the following format:

Offset	Length	Description
0x00	1 byte	Initial Cursor Action*
0x01	1 byte	Force Targeting**
0x02	2 bytes	Unknown (Always [FFh])
0x04	2 bytes	Single Target Camera Movement Index
0x06	2 bytes	Multiple Targets Camera Movement Index

*Initial Cursor Action: The different values will tell it what to do or what menu to bring up:

Value	Effect
0h	Perform command, using selected target
1h	Magic Menu
2h	Summon Menu
3h	Item Menu
4h	E.Skill Menu
5h	Throw Menu
6h	Limit Menu
7h	Start on enemy
8h	W-Item Menu
9h	W-Magic Menu
Ah	W-Summon Menu
Bh	Coin Menu

Note: If this value is 0h and Target is NULL (FFh) then the action will be performed without showing the cursor.

** Targeting data: This is the targeting data used throughout the battle engine to determine which battle participant (PCs and monsters alike) to perform damage calculation upon. It is stored as an 8-bit bitmask:

Bitmask	Effect
01h	Enable selection. Without this, the target cannot be changed from the participant performing the command.
02h	Start on Enemies. This will default the target to the first member of the opposing row.
04h	Multiple by default. This will select all targets on a row.
08h	Multiple "toggle". This will enable toggling between a single target or multiple targets. Magics that have this enabled must be linked to an "All" to be multiple. Commands must have a Mega-All.
10h	One side only. This will not let you choose another row other than the one defined by 02h.
20h	Long ranged enemy can be targeted.
40h	All participants. Targets all available targets in the battle.
80h	Random target. Choose, from among selected targets, one to perform damage calculation upon.
