Sort of a silly question, but what is this attribute supposed to do?
It's in the FFEdit attribute list and it has a strings.txt entry ("you can feed off nearby electrical power sources to boost your own strength (and pass this charge onto MAN O' WAR if he's nearby!)"). But I don't see an init function in the FFX code. The manual entry goes to the page on feedback attributes, but it doesn't mention CURRENT SAPPER by name.
Was it supposed to boost the strength attribute when near electrical grid elements? Boost energy? Give an attack bonus? Heal? Possibly any of those depending on customization?
IIRC, "Current Sapper" is a combo attribute, with "Synergy" and "Symbiote" in it.
It's simply a combo made for Sea Urchin in the regular campaign. It is a not a unique attribute by itself.
:doh: I actually had ffxmulti.py open when I asked that question, but I never checked it.
Of course, it looks like it's not really even a normal combo. It just maps directly to a single attribute, absorption (SYNERGY).
Yep. An example set by Dr. Mike to show how to re-create an attribute with different default customizations IIRC.
Hmm. :unsure: How is the default customization for CURRENT SAPPER different from that of SYNERGY? Sorry I am being so thick today... :ph34r:
It doesn't. It's only meant for Sea Urchin, so it's customized for her appropriately and was given a description to match.
Right, but how is it customized, besides the different string name/description?
It gains power from electric objects, like telephone poles, rather than draining the health of metal objects.
