Having a state increase a variable when applied?

[Rekkid]

Basically what I want to do is have variable X increase whenever State Y is applied and decrease when State Y is removed. I have tried using Yanfly's state core plugin but it doesn't seem to work, maybe because it doesn't happen in combat. Is there any other way to achieve this effect?

You need a plugin Yanfly's Buff States Core.
Install it and in your custom state's field type:

<Custom Apply Effect>
$gameVariables.setValue(id, $gameVariables.value(id) + 1);
</Custom Apply Effect>

<Custom Remove Effect>
$gameVariables.setValue(id, $gameVariables.value(id) - 1);
</Custom Remove Effect>

Edit: in place of ID type a number representing your variable you wish to alter

I have tried this already and it did not work.

This is what I have written in the state's note box:
<Custom Apply Effect>
$gameVariables.setValue(4, $gameVariables.value(4) + 5);
$gameVariables.setValue(5, $gameVariables.value(5) + 10);
</Custom Apply Effect>

<Custom Remove Effect>
$gameVariables.setValue(4, $gameVariables.value(4) - 5);
$gameVariables.setValue(5, $gameVariables.value(5) - 10);
</Custom Remove Effect>

I don't think Yanfly's plugin will work here either because my game doesn't actually enter combat or maybe theres an incompatibility with another plugin.

Custom Apply Effect will still trigger if the state is applied outside of combat.

Your effects work fine on my end so if they're not working for you it must be a compatibility issue with another plugin. I can't imagine what would interfere with this though.

I guess I'll need to troubleshoot to find out which plugins are making it not work properly. Thank you for confirming.
