[XP] Status Help

[solshadow 0]

Can anyone help me make the following status effects?

 

Plague - Like poison but spreads to other party members (40% chance to spread per turn not cured)

Toxic - Poison that gets worse and deals more damage over time

Berserk - Character gets attack boost but only attacks uncontrollably

Confused - Character has 33% to attack themself, allies or enemies

Charm - Character attacks allies and might heal enemies

Stone - countdown then status. If attacked 3 times before cured they shatter and are not able to be revived

Zombie - Healing skills and items instead do damage

Bleed - Max HP slowly reduces

Guard - Character absorbs next attack on a party member (doesnt work if next attack hits whole party)

Auto Life - Revives character upon death

Reflect - Bounces magic spells (If used on monster and spell is cast on it, spell randomly hits one of the party members)

 

and also how do I make equipment that read the number on battles a player has won or how many enemies have been killed by a character?

I need a sword that gains attack by defeating enemies and a shield that changes into another after a certain amount of battles.

Auto Life, Regen, 1 MP/ Half MP Items/ 9999 Atk, Demi & Quarter Spells, and others

By: Sir Edeon X

 

Desperate not, my beloved FF Fans! Here I am leading you to salvation. Smiley

This tutorial includes easy follow-the-steps guide to making:

 

--> Regen Status: For those who don't know what this is, it is the opposite of poison. Instead of damaging you,

it heals you.

--> Change MP Cost: Whether Half MP Cost or No MP Cost, learn how to reduce the amount of MP you use

for spells during battle. Remember the Gold Hairpin in FF6? This is useful!

--> Auto-Life Status: This status assures that when you're killed, you'll be automatically revived. This is present

in all FF above the 6th! So, why can't you use it, too? Smiley

--> 9999 ATK: A status to assure that your next attacks will cause 9999 of damage.

--> Critical ATK: A status to assure that your next attacks will hit with critical dmg.

--> Overdrive: For those who use anykind of overdrive script, this status accelerates the overdrive bar.

--> Demi and Quarter Spells (or Gravity and Gravija): For those who don't know what these spells does,

they reduce enemy's HP by 1/2 or 1/4.

--> Changing Items and Skills name and description during game: Useful if you want your game to include

more than one language!

 

Let's begin!!! If you have any doubt through any of these steps, just check the previous topic, where all steps

are explained a lot better. For example, if you begin reading the 9999 ATK, I suggest to read REGEN first, where

I explain everything better.

 

REGEN:

 

a) Open up Database, select Status Effects

b) Create a new one called Regen and select the animation you want.

c) Check the first and last box ('Unresistable' and 'Progressive Damage')

d) Check the 'Ends after battle' box

e) Select the amount of turns you want it to last for, and input '100' after it. Personnaly, I like it to last during

5 turns, so, this would be like this: 'After 5 turns, there is a 100 % Chance of Recovery Each

f) Check the id (number before the name) of 'Regen'

g) Close the Database.

h) Open up the Script Editor and search (Ctrl+Shift+F) for 'def update_phase4_step2'

If more than one appears, you'll have to add to both. This will assure that whatever scripts you have, this

will work.

i) Double click on it and add

 

if @active_battler.hp > 0 and @active_battler.regen?

@active_battler.regen_effect

@active_battler.restorative = true

@active_battler.damage_pop = true

end

 

below 'def update_phase4_step2'.

j) Go to Game_Battler 2 and replace the last 'end' for

 

def regen?

for i in @states

if $data_states.slip_damage and i == !!!!!!

return true

end

end

return false

end

def regen_effect

self.damage = self.maxhp / 10

if self.damage.abs > 0

amp = [self.damage.abs * 15 / 100, 1].max

self.damage += rand(amp+1) + rand(amp+1) - amp

end

self.hp -= -self.damage

return true

end

end

 

k) replace the '!!!!!!' for the id of Regen

l) Go to line 129 (or the one where's 'def slip_damage?' and replace

 

if $data_states.slip_damage

 

for

 

if $data_states.slip_damage and i != !!!!!!

 

m) replace the '!!!!!!' for the id of Regen

 

And that's all!!! You just have to create a skill that adds this status! The only problem is that the recovery

will pop up as damage (white colored). This can be easily changed with a script for damage coloring. Here

it is. Put it before Main. This one was put together by me. I don't know who wrote the first class script, but

I've changed it a lil' bit. Thanks to whoever wrote it.

end

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CHANGING MP COST:

These are a lot easier. I'll teach you how to reduce the MP(SP) cost to Half and to 0.

 

a) Open the database, and in the Status Effects create two new status: 'Half MP Cost' and 'No MP Cost'

b) Check the 'unresistable' box, which is the first one, and put them to end after battle, for both!

c) Put a minus before 'Half MP Cost' IN THE 'No MP Cost'

c) Check the id of the status (no. before the name) and close the database.

d) Script editor!!! Go to Window_Skill and change the

 

self.contents.draw_text(x + 232, y, 48, 32, skill.sp_cost.to_s, 2)

 

for

#----------------------------------

mp_cost = skill.sp_cost

if @actor.states.include?(!!!!!)

mp_cost /= 2

end

if @actor.states.include?(*****)

mp_cost *= 0

end

self.contents.draw_text(x + 226, y, 48, 32, mp_cost.to_s, 2)

#----------------------------------

where '!!!!!' is the 'Half MP Cost' ID and ***** the 'NO MP Cost' ID.

e) Search for '@active_battler.sp -= @skill.sp_cost'. If more than one appears, you'll have to do the following

to both.

f) Replace

 

@active_battler.sp -= @skill.sp_cost

 

for

#----------------------------------

if @active_battler.states.include?(*****)

@active_battler.sp -= 0

elsif @active_battler.states.include?(!!!!!)

@active_battler.sp -= (@skill.sp_cost / 2)

else

@active_battler.sp -= @skill.sp_cost

end

#----------------------------------

where '!!!!!' is the 'Half MP Cost' ID and ***** the 'NO MP Cost' ID.

That's all. Create a skill that adds one of them, or even an accessory that auto-inflict one of these.

 

AUTO_LIFE:

a) Yet again, create a new status called 'Auto-Life'. Put it 'Unresistable' and ending after battle.

b) After selecting the animation, memorize the ID of 'Auto-Life'

c) In the Script Editor, go to Game_Party and search for 'def all_dead?'.

d) Below

 

for actor in @actors

if actor.hp > 0

return false

end

 

add

#----------------------------------

if actor.states.include?(Auto-life ID!!!!!)

return false

end

#----------------------------------

e) In Scene_Battle1, go to 'def Judge', and before everything (if $game_party.all_dead...) add

 

for i in 0...$game_party.actors.size

actor = $game_party.actors

if actor.states.include?(Auto-life ID!!!!!) and actor.hp == 0

actor.hp += 1

@battler = $game_actors[actor.id]

@battler.remove_state(Auto-life ID!!!!!)

@battler.remove_state(1)

@dead = false

@battler.animation_id = 25 #(this is the number of MY ressurection animation. I don't know if it is yours, too)

@battler.restorative = true

@battler.damage = "Auto-Life!"

@battler.damage_pop = true

#@spriteset.actor_sprites.default_pose (if you have the animated side view battle script, remove the #)

end

end

 

f) That's all. Remember adding the damage_coloring script I gave above in REGEN or you'll receive an error

message! Now, create a skill that adds it, or even an accessory that auto-inflicts it!

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

9999 ATK and CRITICAL ATK:

 

a) You know what to do, right? Create both status in the database.

b) Check the 'unresistable' box and put them to end after battle and after X turns, I like 4 turns. (Check REGEN

to know how this is done, if you don't know)

c) In '9999 ATK' status, put a minus before 'CRITICAL ATK'

d) Remember both numbers and open up the script editor

e) Search for 'attack_effect' in Game_Battler3 and look for:

 

if rand(100) < 4 * attacker.dex / self.agi

self.damage *= 2

self.critical = true

end

 

f) replace it for:

 

if attacker.states.include?(CRITICAL ATK ID!!!!)

self.damage *= 2

self.critical = true

else

if rand(100) < 4 * attacker.dex / self.agi

self.damage *= 2

self.critical = true

end

end

 

g) look also for 'remove_states_shock'. Below it put this:

 

if attacker.states.include?(9999 ATK ID!!!!)

self.damage = 9999

end

 

That's all!!! Create a skill or so. Smiley

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OVERDRIVE:

 

If you have an overdrive bar, here it is a little help.

 

a) Create a status called 'Overdrive x1.5' and another called 'Overdrive x2'.

b) Make it unresistable and ending after a few turns (I like 4 Tongue)

c) Put a minus before 'Overdrive x1.5' IN 'Overdrive x2' status 'cuz 2 is bigger than 1.5!

d) Search for '.overdrive +=' (Ctrl+Shift+F) and do this in each topic:

e) Replace the XXXX.overdrive += YYYY for (doesn't matter what you have besides XXXX or YYYY':

 

if XXXX.states.include?(OVERDRIVE X2 ID)

XXXX.overdrive += YYYY * 2

elsif XXXX.states.include?(OVERDRIVE X1.5 ID)

XXXX.overdrive += YYYY * 1.5

else

XXXX.overdrive += YYYY

end

f) And that's all. Create a skill or an item which adds you this status and that's all.

 

DEMI AND QUARTER SPELLS:

 

a) create two attributes in the database (system). call them like 'Demi' or '1/2 HP' and 'Quarter' or '1/4'. What

you like

b) Memorize the IDs and go to the script editor

c) Go to Game_Battler3 and search for 'last_hp = self.hp' in 'def skill_effect(user, skill)'

d) Replace

 

last_hp = self.hp

self.hp -= self.damage

 

for

 

if skill.element_set.include?(DEMI STATUS ID!!!!)

@damage_hp = self.hp * 50 / 100

self.damage = @damage_hp

last_hp = self.hp

self.hp -= @damage_hp

@hp_damaging = true

elsif skill.element_set.include?(QUARTER STATUS ID!!!!)

@damage_hp = self.hp * 25 / 100

self.damage = @damage_hp

last_hp = self.hp

self.hp -= @damage_hp

@hp_damaging = true

else

last_hp = self.hp

self.hp -= self.damage

end

 

e) Now, below 'unless @status_changed' there's a 'self.damage = "Miss" '. Replace it for

 

if @hp_damaging = true

self.damage = @damage_hp

@hp_damaging = false

else

self.damage = "Miss"

end

 

f) And that's all. Create a skill WITH NO effect rating, but WITH the element you want it to do. That's all Smiley

Plague- will be hard with Common Events, but can be done

Toxic- This would be a little confusing but it can be done as well

Berserk- I don't know about this one you might need a script

Confused- Script required

Charm- Only able to be half complete

Stone- Countdown will need to be scripted, Needs two different states

Zombie- any "Heal" skill will need to have a common event on it- expect a headache when dealing with this state

Bleed- This one is gonna have to be done with scripts

Guard- May be tricky. will this affect more than one character?

Auto Life- hard, but not imposable with common events

Reflect- Difficulty depends on the skill used...

ah! so THATS how you strikeout...was looking for it but they dont necessarily need to be done with common events or whatever. Kind of like the trip doesnt matter, all I care about is the final destination.

 

As for the Guard status, im thinking only one character will have it. So say there are 4 party members (arshes, zayne, tyler, marina) If arshes uses Guard then he'l get guard status and battle sprite for guard and if the enemy attacks anyone in the party then arshes would take the blow and then the status would end. Although I just thought about what if a party member is charmed and attacks the party, I suppose Arshes would need to be able to absorb that too. Did that clear things up?

 

What do you mean for the reflect status, im dumb and dont understand >_< heehee

[Blackbound 4]

What I want to know is if its like a universal skill reflector or are some skills immune to the reflect?

[solshadow 0]

Oh! ok, some skills are immune to reflect, yes :D
