Displaying actual numbers in Skill Description?

[Murg1]

Is there a way to type a reference into a skill description so that the in game description actually shows the calculated number?

Examples:

Default description:
"Tackle an enemy to the ground, dealing high physical damage. Gain 25 TP."

(Hidden ability formula: 100 + a.atk * 3 - b.def * 1)

What I am looking for:
"Tackle an enemy to the ground, dealing 128 physical damage. Gain 25 TP."

Is there a way to type in %100 + a.atk * 3 - b.def * 1% or something like that to display actual numbers for my players?

Not by default, as far as I'm aware...

This plugin looks promising, though! (Haven't tested it myself.)

i just put "Stat X%" in my skills.
*4 being the basic damage is 100%
so when i have a.atk * 7 or a.mat * 6
the skill simply says Str 175% or Int 150%

Thank you. I am going to have to play around with that stuff for sure.

Sounds like a good work around for now while I develop my rough alpha version.

The only real problem with this is that if your formula has a target reference then you cant account it on the description for most cases since there will be no target yet during the time the description is on.

Because of that, Tiamat's method is probably already a really good thing to do for this.
