damage formula

  1. Replacing Zero Damage with a "MISS" statement

    Using the damage formula, I'm able to script conditionals for applying states and other non damage effects. However, if I have a situation where a state can't apply, the damage formula defaults to Zero damage. How can I skip the damage effect (numbers and hit effect) and display a miss...

    Have HP AND MP damage

    I want to have a skill which damages both HP and MP. What I have tried so far is to set the skill to HP Damage and then have this damage formula b.result.mp_damage = (10 +a.mat - b.mdf); 120 + a.mat * 2 - b.mdf What seems to happen is that HP damage is done, but MP is added to the target...

    Core damage formula for all skills to use

    Hey everyone,  I have a question about managing skill formulae.  For my game, I'd like to tie many skills to the same basic formula, and have each skill modify that base damage with a skill power variable, kind of like Pokemon does (ex. Fire Blast has a power of around 120, making it stronger...

  7. Damage formula: Has an enemy acted?

    So quick question:  I know you can use the damage formula box for some pretty advanced and interesting things, such as a skill dealing more or less damage depending if a specific status effect is in place. My question then is: Is there anything in the damage formula box I can use that can...

    Am I able to import custom damage formulas from Rpgmaker XP

    While looking over my old XP games I have found that a lot of ideas for the battle system could be used for my newer games in VX Ace (no need to reinvent the wheel). My question is simple; will I be able to import my damage formulas wholesale from XP to Ace or is there some difference between...

    Low Power vs High Power Games

    Lower Power vs High Power Games. Is it more satisfying to see 13 damage fly across the screen, or 1300 fly across the screen?  Its a concept I'm struggling with so I think having a discussion on it would help, not only me, but others who are having the same dilemma.  Lets start with some...

    Script Request: Display state's message in battle log when "add_state" and "remove_state" are used

    Hiya. When one uses a damage formula that has something like "a.add_state" or "b.remove_state" in it, that state's messages are not displayed in the battle log during battle. I absolutely need those messages to display, so I am requesting a script. If you were to inflict Poison through a...

    How to make a damage formula force action or use a skill

    Hiya! I'm trying to create custom messages in the battle log using the damage formula. The way I'm trying now is through having the formula use an empty skill with a message. I've looked in many places, but I don't see how to use the damage formula to either use a skill or at least to force an...

    Is there a way to bypass the 100-character damage formula limitation without externally-defined form

    Hiya! I have a lot of issues with the limitations of the database. Not being able to set Ex-Parameters such as CRI on Skills is one example. However, I feel like I could defeat a lot of the limitations if I wasn't limited to 100 characters in the damage formula input. I believe RPG Maker...

    Is my damage formula not working?

    Hiya. I'm creating a simple community engine so that people can create Pokémon JRPGs in which you play as Pokémon instead of trainers. I've gotten most of the skills down, but for some reason I don't seem to do damage to enemies in testing. Here is the damage formula according to Bulbapedia...

Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
