Custom Status Effect Help

[dyzzythedemon]

Heya! I'm new to the RPGmaker scene and I've started using MZ a little. I want to make a game, sort of a persona-like. But I don't want it to feel stale with the same old same old status effects. For reference, here's the ones I'm trying to figure out.
-Abandoned: Cannot perform any skills on allies.
-Mocked: Attacks, defense, and evasion is all halved. Cannot stack.
-Guilted: Steady damage/lowered SP over time.
-Misunderstood: Always attack last every turn.
-Worried: Can’t do anything this turn. Similar to Flinch pokemon.
-Sickly: gradual exponential damage.
-Betrayed: Thinks the party have betrayed them. Their attack is doubled, but they’ll attack at random, enemies and party members both.

Admittedly I'm very new to this, but I would appreciate any help anyone can give!
Side note, is there a discord server for fellow RPGmakers?

Welcome! Have you done the tutorial in MZ, and maybe a few off YouTube to get familiar with the editor? Most of the things you list are default features.

-Mocked: Attacks, defense, and evasion is all halved. Cannot stack.

Default functionality. Give the state Traits that multiply Attack, Defense and the Evasion Rate Ex-Parameter by 50%. There is no stacking of states in RPG Maker.

-Misunderstood: Always attack last every turn.

When you act in the turn is determined by Agility and the speed of the skill you select. So you can probably do this by simply adding a Trait that lowers Agility far enough.

-Worried: Can’t do anything this turn.

Default functionality - the Cannot move Restriction.

-Betrayed: Thinks the party have betrayed them. Their attack is doubled, but they’ll attack at random, enemies and party members both.

Default functionality. Add a Trait with Attack * 200% and the Attack anyone Restriction.

-Abandoned: Cannot perform any skills on allies.

You could do this a complicated way with the default engine - give the state a Seal Skill Trait for every skill that's "on allies." You could do it more efficiently with VisuStella's Skills and States plugin and give the skills a JS Skill Enable notetag with the condition of not having this state.

-Guilted: Steady damage/lowered SP over time.

I'm not sure what this means - is SP MP? or TP? and what does "lowered SP over time" mean? If it's something like it continuously decreases the actor's max parameter, you'd have to use something like VisuStella's Battle Core with a JS Pre-End Turn notetag.

-Sickly: gradual exponential damage.

You'd use VisuStella's Battle Core with the Pre- or Post-Regeneration notetag.

Thank you very much! I did manage to find a helpful guide for it. Abandoned is the hardest but you're right about the solution. You've been very helpful to me, so thank you!
