Adding state to the damage owner?

[JamesRyan]

Hi guys,

I want to make a skill like this:

- This skill applies a state called "Corrosive Skin" (for example) to an allied unit.

- When the unit having the state "Corrosive Skin" is taking damage from an enemy, there is a chance (15% for example) that another state will be applied to the damage dealer like "Poisoned" (for example).

That's all i want to do, but i haven't found a script to do that so i hope you can help me about this. Thank you

In the damage formula:

b.add_state(3) if b.state?(2); damage

where 3 is the 'corrosive skin' state (the one you want them to already have), 2 is the 'poisoned' state (the new one you want to add), and 'damage' is the actual damage formula to calculate how much damage will be applied whether they have the state or not.

Thank you for your answer but it is not what i mean. Because i can't change all the damage formulas of all my skills or if i had many states that do the same way, the damage formulas would be really long and confusing.

So i think if there is a script for this should be useful. I have found a script of Victor but instead of adding state to the damage dealer, it adds state to the damage taken unit so sadly it does not match my requirement.

I've moved this thread to RGSS3 Script Requests. Please be sure to post your threads in the correct forum next time. Thank you.


You will need to specify how many of these options you want to have, and if they will always behave in the same way. Do you JUST want it to look for one particular state, and if the target has that state, add one other particular state? Or do you want multiples of these combinations? Do you always want it to ADD the second state if the first one already exists, or do you want the ability to change that sometimes (like maybe remove a state if it exists)?


If you want a script written, you need to be VERY specific about how it needs to work.

I will pay more attention when posting new thread next time.

It will be nice if the script can work like the "Action States" script from Victor Sant below:

But like i said, instead of adding state to the damage taken unit, the damage dealer will be.
