Any way to keep 'substitute' user from blocking heals on critical HP chars?

[Lunesis]

Like a way to make healing skills bypass substitute? My tank keeps stealing heals from weak characters and it's very rude. Items can still get through.

Was curious about this so I googled Substitute healing issue and got a few threads for MV but the solution might still be the same given how similar MV and MZ are.

Substitute problem

There is a problem with the substitute option. Not only do they take damage for weaker party members but they also absorb healing spells.

Here's an example thread but they all say to change Healing skills Hit Type to "Certain Hit" which should bypass substitute.

Your healing/beneficial spells should be Certain Hit, anyway, unless you want things like magic evasion to apply to them (some few games do, but you should only do it intentionally, understanding the mechanics).

Thanks guys! I searched for 'substitute blocks heal' but that didn't give me anything. I had them set to magic. Can close!

Google is much more effective than the forum search tool (or pretty much any forum's search, it's not dissing this particular site).

If you Google "RPG Maker MV substitute heal" you'll find 3 or 4 threads here about it. I hope that's helpful next time you're stuck for something!

I tried Google I swear, just didn't know how to word it. Sometimes different brains help

I used the same wording you quoted in your post, with the addition of RPG Maker

But it's all good, I'm not criticizing you for making the thread, just pointing out that search engines work better than the forum search tool, which many people don't realize.
