Is this possible?

Hi, this is on RPGM2K3.

If you've played Nethack, you should know what I mean here. I want text to display when a certain enemy is hit by a certain attribute (eg. you hit a rat with a sword and you get "You slash the rat!" or you cast fire magic on an ogre and get "The ogre erupts in flames!") but I can't find a trigger that would rely on attributes...

How do I do this? Or, more importantly, can I do this?

in the skills creation database there are options to do this.
If this is not to your liking, try playing with battle events pages, In the monster group section of the Database

You may have to make a CMS.

No, you wont really. It can be done with battle events....if not with the default massage system

I looked there...

okay...battle events.

Event trigger:    Skill: swordslash used
            show message

So I'm going to have to make a skill for every attack? Oy...

Some things in rm2k3 are just hard work >.> I can't think of any other way to do it, unfortunately. You can get around some of these things by putting one page in every monster group that calls a common event every turn. You can use that one common event to check a ton of stuff and save a lot of monster group pages.

Actually, thinking about it, Gem's idea won't work will it? You can make a skill subset trigger an event but not an individual skill... I hope I'm wrong. Might be an idea just to give up on it though man >.>
