Storing damage taken in a variable?

[LaDestitute 3]

I need to know if there's a way to store damage taken by an actor during a turn into a variable? I'm working on a move where the actor can't do anything one turn but they counter the next turn and deal damage equal to x2 of the damage they received. I tried using variables and subtracting the before from the after but it didn't work as I expected.

It almost sounds like the move "Bind" in Pokemon. I think you'll need a script for that kind of a skill.

Hmm, well, is there a mathimatichal equation or formula that can be used to find the damage taken or in a math case, a specific number? I know the equation might start with something like x-y=z

There might be. I mean, it'd be complicated. You just have to set a variable that has the HP your character had before they start to take damage, but I haven't used XP in a while so I wouldn't know how to begin. But I do know how to paralyze your character with their own skill.

Let's see.

 

I don't have time to put it into actin right now, but here's how it goes:

 

Game_Actor has an attribute called damage, this attribute is pretty much the damage currently being dealt to this actor. Go into the game_actor script and find a nice spot, here, you should put:

$game_variables[1] = self.damage

 

where you put it is really important, I'll help you out tomorrow.
