Zerbu Engine - Variable-based Troop Randomizer

[Zerbu 40]

Troop Randomizer

Introduction
This script creates a variable-based enemy swap. When an enemy appears in battle that matches the lits of randomized troops (defined in the setting), the enemies are all swapped with one from a list that depends on the value of a variable. This not only allows you to have a random set of enemies appear without having to manually create ever possible combination, but, being variable based, it allows you to have many different factors that determine what enemies appear.

You can disable this at any time duing the game using ze_tr(:enabled, false), you can enable it again using ze_tr(:enabled, true)

so with this script, it would be possible to alter enemy encounters based on the level of the characters in my party? (e.g. my party members are around level 25, so level 20-30 monsters appear) i've been trying to get a script that does exactly that for some time now, and have yet to make one myself that functions properly.

No, the script does not know anything about things like monster levels. It only knows enemy indices.

Something wrong with the following line!

 

enemy = Game_Enemy.new(@enemies.size, $ze_tr[:ENEMIES][$game_variables[$ze_tr[:TROOPS_VARIABLE]]][rand($ze_tr[:ENEMIES][$game_variables[$ze_tr[:TROOPS_VARIABLE]]]

 

maybe ')])' is expected, but after adding  ')])', still can't work in the game, showing can't convert Array into Integer!
