A Question Regarding TP

[Gruesome]

So - I'm using tp a bit differently than the base engine wants to, and as such I'd love the ability to control tp gain more precisely. Now I'm not necessarily looking to change how TP works, I know for instance Yanfly has a plug in that will do that - rather I'd like to simply remove (or make constant) the variable that effects the amount of tp an actor begins each battle with. Right now it seems like at the start of each fight, the main character has anywhere from 5 to 15 TP. Any way to tighten that up, either in the scripts or in a setting? Thanks in advance!

I know of a script that affects how much TP the charecters start with, and gaining/ losing it in battle. I also know of a script that can add states based on how much TP you have, but those are for vx ace

Just to note, Yanfly's Enhanced TP plugin can actually do this: each mode has an Initial TP plugin parameter. If you want to retain the default TP behaviour in other aspects, I think you just need to set the Show Command parameter to false. Then you have it all set up for later in case you want to make more changes to the TP stuff.

Otherwise I'm pretty sure this is the function that sets starting TP:

Game_Battler.prototype.initTp = function() {
    this.setTp(Math.randomInt(25));
};

I.e. a random number from 0~24. To change that, save something like the following as a .js file and import it like a plugin:

Game_Battler.prototype.initTp = function() {
    this.setTp(0);
};

This example should make everyone start with 0 TP.

Thank you very much everyone!! I'll look further into the plugin - just to be sure I'm not missing anything I might want to use there, but cae, that looks like just what I was looking for!
