The control of the RPG in the present embodiment having the above configuration will be described below with reference to the flowchart of FIG. FIG. 6 is a flowchart for explaining control of the network RPG of the present embodiment. This process is performed on CD-RO
The game program stored in M4 is stored in the game device body 2
Is carried out. The following description uses RP
Description will be made by taking a case where the G game is executed as an example. In FIG. 6, first, in step S1, the CD-ROM 4 on which the game program is recorded is set in the game apparatus main body 2. In step S2, necessary programs are read from the CD-ROM 4 and stored in the RAM 12 to display an initial screen (such as a maker logo), check the memory card 5, display a title screen, and load data. Basic processing including the above is performed. Subsequently, when the basic processing is completed in step S3, a game selection screen for selecting which game data is to be selected from the game save data relating to the game read from the memory card 5 is displayed, and the game data to be executed is displayed. select. Then, in a succeeding step S4, the selected game is advanced. If the controller 30 is operated, the field is changed, or various instructions are input from the menu screen in accordance with the progress of the game, the process proceeds to step S5. Then, in a step S6, it is determined whether or not a command is input.
In the present embodiment, since the command selection type RPG game is used, the operation instruction of the operation character can be given after a certain standby time has elapsed, although the speed is related. After the elapse of the standby time, the player can perform various operations such as command input and movement instruction input for his own operation character. If it is not a command input, the process proceeds to step S6, executes a corresponding process, and proceeds to step S5. For example, in the case of an input from the cross key 31, processing such as control for moving the operation character in accordance with the operation of the cross key 31 is performed. In the present embodiment, it is possible to input various commands to the operation character during the movement of the game field or on the battle screen, and if the command is input in step S5, the process proceeds to step S7. In step S7, it is determined whether or not the content of the command instruction is a combination magic selection command unique to the present embodiment. In a normal magic attack, there is a difference in an attack range, but in principle, only one magic attack can be performed at one attack timing. In some cases, the same magic could only be attacked twice in succession with a single attack timing. However, in the present embodiment, a plurality of types of magic can be freely combined (in combination) to be activated, and in step S7, a command input for activating a combination magic activated by combining the plurality of magics is performed. Or not.
Then, when the combination magic is instructed, the process proceeds to step S8, and subsequently, the character that activates the combination magic is specified and the number of magic to be combined is specified. Then, the process proceeds to step S4. FIG. 7 shows a display example of the command list display screen of the present embodiment capable of instructing the combination magic command of the present embodiment. FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a display example of a command list display screen according to the present embodiment. For example, a command list is displayed at the top of FIG. 7, and is displayed in a part of the game screen (for example, the lower right column) at all times during a battle. In the example of FIG.
The command “C magic” is displayed in the row, and this is “combination magic”. When this "C magic" is selected, the process shifts to the process of step S8 as described above, and shifts to the command input screen in the middle part of FIG. 7, where a command screen for specifying who is to perform the combination is displayed. Then, referring to the list display, a character to perform a combination magic among the ally characters is designated. Here, among the ally characters, only characters that can perform combination magic are displayed in a list. If only the user's own operating character can perform the combination magic, the character performing the combination magic is not selected, and the character is automatically set as the character performing the combination magic. There is no limit to the number of characters that can perform combination magic, and the combination magic can be activated only by the user's own operating character, can be activated by only one of the friendly characters, or can be activated in cooperation. is there. Next, in order to shift to the magic number instruction input screen shown in the third row of FIG. 7, the number of magics to be simultaneously activated is designated here. Then, the process returns to step S4. In the present embodiment, if the selection of the character performing the combination magic is one selection or two selections, "2" is initially set, and more characters are selected. In this case, the number of selected characters is initially set. For this reason, when the initial setting is sufficient, it is only necessary to press the determination button. If the number is different from the initial setting, for example, the number is increased or decreased with the cross key 31, and the enter button is pressed as a desired magic number. On the other hand, step S
If it is determined in step 7 that the combination magic has not been selected, the flow advances to step S9 to determine whether or not a magic input has been performed. If the input is not magic input, the process proceeds to step S6, and processing corresponding to the command input is performed. For example, if a "fighting" command is input, a battle is performed using the equipped weapon. On the other hand, if the input is a magic input in step S9, the process proceeds to step S10 to check whether or not the combination magic is selected. If the combination magic is not selected, the process proceeds to step S11, in which the magic specified by the command input is activated to the designated partner. Then, the process returns to step S4. For example, when a spell is selected from the command list shown in the first row of FIG. 7, a list of spells that can be used in the current state of the character is displayed, and the player selects the spell therein and presses an enter button or the like. Press to specify and activate a magic actor, if necessary. This magic list is displayed as a list, for example, as shown at the bottom of FIG. On the other hand, if the combination magic is selected in step S10, the process proceeds to step S12, and it is determined whether or not the magic input is the magic number of the number specified in step S8. If it is not the magic input of the specified magic number, the process proceeds to step S13, and the selected magic is set to the activation standby state, and the process proceeds to step S4. After the number of magics is specified in step S8, the process immediately proceeds from step S4 to step S9, and magic is input. That is, when the number of magic is entered on the third screen of FIG. 7, the screen shifts to the lowermost magic input screen, and the magic input is performed as it is. On the other hand, the case where the magic input is the magic number of the magic number designated in step S12, that is, the case where the magic number is 2, corresponds to the case of the second magic input. In this case, the process proceeds to step S15, where the input magic is selected as the last magic of the waiting magic, and the final activation permission is given. You. In this case, if the activation is not given but the cancellation is instructed, a different magic input can be performed again. At this time, it is also possible to cancel the designation magic of the other character, and in the canceled state, the character is in a state where an instruction such as a command can be input, and a different command can be sequentially input again.
Here, it is also possible to instruct a completely different command. As described above, according to the present embodiment, since it is possible to activate a plurality of different types of magic in combination, the respective magic effects different from the operational effects obtained from a single magic activation are synergistic. The effect obtained is as follows. For this reason, it is possible to obtain a higher effect by properly selecting the magic to be combined. For this reason,
For example, even if a character does not have much magic that can be used alone, a high effect can be obtained by appropriately combining the magic with other characters. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, first, an instruction to activate “filer”, which is a flame-based attack magic, is made to stand by. FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of a game screen display in the standby state for activating the instruction magic according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 8, by displaying the selected magic in a standby state so as to be visible, the player can have a sense of expectation for a combination magic attack to be activated.
For example, in this state, by instructing the next activation of the “aero” of the wind system and continuously activating the “aero”, the flame is blown by the wind as shown in FIG. 9 and an effective attack can be performed on a wide range of enemies. FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of a combination magic attack according to the present embodiment. By making the magic combination accurate as described above, it is possible to provide a game with a higher taste that enables an unexpected effect to be obtained due to a synergistic effect of each other. In addition to this, for example, water-based magic is activated first to flood the enemy character,
It is possible to cause damage to a wide range of enemy characters by freezing with subsequent ice magic, for example. Further, by activating a meteorite-based magic, such as "Meteor", on the character frozen in this way and causing a large number of meteorites to fall, it becomes possible to crush the frozen enemy character. However, if the magic to be combined is, for example, a water-based magic and a flame-based magic, the mutual effect is offset, and the damage to the enemy character is reduced. Therefore, it is necessary to appropriately combine the magics to be combined, and various effects can be achieved depending on the device of the player. Step S13
If the ally character that issued the magic activation instruction has transitioned to the battle impossible state while waiting for the magic activation accepted in step 2, the activation instruction magic for that character will disappear and this magic will not be activated. Absent. Therefore, it is necessary to pay sufficient attention to the remaining capacity of the character that has activated the magic.
However, the present invention is not limited to the above example.Since the instruction for activating the magic is given once, even if the character who cast the spell becomes unable to battle, control is performed so that the magic does not disappear. Is also good. [Other Embodiments] As described above, the present invention has been specifically described based on the embodiments and the modifications thereof. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments and the modifications thereof. Of course, it can be changed as appropriate without departing from the gist. For example, while the above description has been made with reference to the case of combining attack magic, the present invention is not limited to the above example, and even a combination of defense magic and a combination of recovery magic are used. Of course, it may be possible. Furthermore, it may be arranged in an enemy monster field or dungeon that can be defeated only by being activated in combination with a specific magic, and requesting that the game be advanced only when this combination is noticed. For example, in the above embodiment and its modifications, the case where the present invention is realized using a home game machine as a platform is described. However, the present invention realizes a general-purpose computer such as a personal computer or an arcade game machine as a platform. Is also good. In the above-described embodiment and its modifications, programs and data for implementing the present invention are stored in a CD-ROM, and the CD-ROM is used as an information recording medium. However, the information recording medium is not limited to the CD-ROM, but may be another computer-readable magnetic or optical recording medium such as a magnetic disk or a ROM card or a semiconductor memory. Further, the program and data for implementing the present invention are not limited to the form provided by a medium such as a CD-ROM that is detachable from a game machine or a computer. Another device connected via a communication line or the like, for example, may be a form of receiving from a group of servers and recording it in a memory, or further, a device connected to another device connected via a communication line or the like. The program and data may be recorded in a memory, and the program and data may be used via a communication line or the like.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to activate a plurality of different types of magic in combination, so that the respective magic effects are different from the operational effects obtained from a single magic activation. The synergistic effect is obtained. For this reason, it is possible to enhance the effect by properly selecting the magic to be combined. For this reason, for example, even for a character that does not have much magic that can be used alone, a high effect can be obtained by appropriately combining the magic with another character.
