this script allows you to set up monster groups composed of random enemies.

when
using this script, a monster group with three numbers between 1 and 8 as the first
three characters of its name will be randomized (see image for example). a monster
group whose name doesn't follow this pattern will appear exactly as shown. all
three numbers must be between 1 and 8. the numbers' meanings are as follows:

first number: the minimum number of monsters that will appear in the random
monster group.
second number: the maximum number of monsters that will appear in the random
monster group.
third number: the number of monsters in the group that will actually be used in
the randomization (there must be at least as many monsters as the maximum number
of monsters in the monster group, but monsters with ids above this number will be
used only for position reference).

to use this script, replace game_troop#setup, game_enemy#initialize,

game_enemy#screen_x, and game_enemy.screen_y with the ones provided.
