Can I add an NPC that follows the party and shows up at random points in battle to assist the hero's?
Such as:

Well, you could always set up an enemy that acts as an ally, described here http://rpg.hamsterrepublic.com/ohrrpgce/Can_you_make_heroes_appear_during_a_battle%3F. Then you'd have to make copies of each formation, one not having this guest and one having the guest, and set them both up in the formation sets. That way it'd randomly pick a battle with him or not.
If you were only wanting this guest to appear during a certain part of the story, you might have to set up an 'instead of battle' script, which would check to see if the tag is turned on or not. And if it is, then you could set it up where it either always picks the battle with the guest or generate a random number and have that decide what battle's picked.
Unless you just wanted this guest to show up during story battles or something and not random encounters. Then all you'd have to do is add him to those specific battles and not have to mess with plotscripting. If you want him in random encounters, then you'll probably need to plotscript. |
