Health Potion Formulas?

[blackmdawn]

I've look around, but I can't find an answer to this problem.

I'm trying to create a health potion that heals the player using the formula:

(150 * ((a.def + 150)/100.0)).to_i

I made a potion item like this:

Item Type: Normal

Consume: Yes

Scope: The User

Occasion: Always

Damage Type: HP Recover

Element: None

Formula: (150 * ((a.def + 150)/100.0)).to_i

Variance: 0

Critical: No

However, whenever my character drinks it, it doesn't restore any health.

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Does HP Recover not actually do anything? Or do I need to make a State?

I'm hoping I don't need to make a state, because then I'd need to have a unique state for each potion (this potion is 150, but a better potion might be 250).

You're using a instead of b.


When you use an item and select who to use it on, that person is the target, not the user, so b.


Also,

(150 * (val/100.0)).to_iYou don't need the inner brackets if you move the values around.
150 * x / 100 is the same as 150 / 100 * x


so you could just write it as

(1.5 * val).to_i

so in your example:

(1.5 * (b.def + 150)).to_i

I tried changing the formula to that, but it still didn't work. But since both the target and the user are the same, it shouldn't matter whether I use a or b.

The formula you have in the OP works perfectly fine for me in a test battle. Is it when used in the menu that causes problems?

Are you using any scripts?

 

[blackmdawn]

It... might be script I use. I'll check as soon as I can. I use Yanfly's Lunatic Damage, so I might need to put the formula in that instead of the usual formula box.

 

[blackmdawn]

I tried putting the formula in Yanfly's Lunatic Damage, but it still won't work.

Edit:  But it must still be a script issue, because it works in a fresh game project...

You will have to track down which script is the problem.

Disable all scripts (Ctrl+A to select all, then Ctrl+Q to comment them out) and then re-enable them one by one (same Ctrl+ A, then Ctrl+Q) until you find the one which stops the formula working.  No short way round this, I'm afraid.

 

[blackmdawn]

The problem script is Yanfly's  Lunatic Damage. I just don't know how to make the formula work with it.

I also don't know where to post to get help with that script. I'll look for the script support section, if there is one.

 

[Shaz]

I'll move this to the Script Support section for you.

Oh, thank you

A little bit ago, I made a post about this in the Script Support section. Should I get rid of the other post I made?
