Effect

{18} Effect

Effect(xEFID,xID,XXX,YYY,x00)

Uses an ability or effect on target Unit. Only one Effect can play at a time or the game will freeze.

Preview videos for each Effect can be found here: http://ffhacktics.com/smf/index.php?topic=4830.0

Some Effects run at a faster speed when used in events rather than as in-battle skills. EventSpeed can sometimes be used to slow them down to normal levels (as with the Lucavi transformations), but sometimes it's still too quick (as with Quake).

Ability/Effect ID : Half-Word (hex)

For values x0000 to x01FF it casts the appropriate ability on target assigned by Unit ID; the caster is at the tile set (X,Y).
