Advance Damage formula - addstate

[Devildimos]

I was not sure where to post this question.
I am trying to use the Damage Formula to apply a state if the condition is meant.
Like so.

b.mdf > 7 ? 0 : addState(57)

But I believe this is a MV thing and not an Ace thing.
Basically what I am doing is: Charm Person. If the target has 7 or lower Wisdom(MDF) that target is charmed.

Although this is working fine.

b.mhp > 100 ? 50 : 100

If the target has 100 or more MaxHP than the target will only take 50 damage.
How do I add states in this way?

if b.mdf <= 7; b.add_state(57); end; 0

Damage formulas normally refer to Game Battler. And in such you have to specify which battler you are referring to.
a = actor
b = enemy
And it would be reverse for the enemy.

and TheoAllen has the answer for you

if b.mdf <= 7; b.add_state(57); end; 0

Thank you very much.
stay safe.
