DoubleX RMVXA Substitute Edit v1.01b
by DoubleX
Compatibility Fix
DoubleX RMVXA Substitute Compatibility Fix
Introduction
In the default setting, if more than one battler in the same side have the substitute flag, the one with the lowest id(the leftmost one) will always do the job, even if his/her/its hp isn't the highest among them all.
With this script, it's the one with the highest hp that'll always do the job, thus increasing the effectiveness of the substitute flag if more than one battler in the same side have it.
To understand why it's the case, let's compare the default with the "how this script works" part(and the only part) of this script(little scripting knowledge is needed to understand the following):
The default
def substitute_battler members.find {|member| member.substitute? } endThe one with the lowest id among all having the substitute flag will be returned by the method substitute_battler, and thus doing the job. Whether the returned member has the highest hp isn't checked at all.
"how this script works" part of this script
def substitute_battler # This part is rewritten by this script to return the one having the highest hp among all having the substitute flag member_hp = member_temp_hp = 0 member_temp = [] members.each { |member| next if !member.substitute? if member.state_resist?(member.death_state_id) member_temp.push(member) member_temp_hp = member.hp if member_temp_hp < member.hp else member_hp = member.hp if member_hp < member.hp end } if !member_temp.empty? member_hp = member_temp_hp member_temp = members end member_temp.find {|member| member.substitute? && member.hp == member_hp} # end # substitute_battlerThe addition of member_hp is to store the highest hp value among all battlers having the substitute flag. The one with the lowest id among all having the highest hp in those having the substitute flag will be returned by the method substitute_battler, and thus doing the job.
def substitute_battler members.find {|member| member.substitute? } endThe one with the lowest id among all having the substitute flag will be returned by the method substitute_battler, and thus doing the job. Whether the returned member has the highest hp isn't checked at all.
