Help with HP Damage and Chance to Drain MP Skill

[djm3]

I'm having some trouble trying to create a skill that Damges HP but also has a small percent chance to Drain MP -- I've looked at calling a state to do it and a common event, but can't quite figure out how to get it done with those. Any ideas?

Thanks.

(sorry, I bet this has already been addressed somewhere in the forums but I can't seem to find it)

when you say drain mp do you mean drain it from the enemy to you, heal a portion of the damage done as mp, instead of dealing hp damage deal mp damage and drain?

Sorry for the double post but I think found something that works for me:

I used Tsukihime's script Effect: State Action (it requires the Effects Manager script to work):

"This script allows you to force an action with your skill, depending on whether the enemy has a specific state applied or not."

First I applied an Add State (set it to x%) to my Damage HP skill and when that state is applied the script will force another skill which is the Drain MP skill.

I would like to Damage the enemy's HP and have a % chance to Drain the enemy's MP to the player who delt the HP damage.

...I think that makes sense

use this in your damage formula

x = [y, b.mp].min;(b.mp -= x;a.mp += x) if rand(100) <= z;damage formula here

breakdown:

x, leave it alone

y, the amount of mp you want to drain

z, the % chance to drain mp - 1

damage formula here, your damage formula goes here.

example:

x = [10, b.mp].min; (b.mp -= x;a.mp += x) if rand(100) <= 9; 4 * a.mat - 2.b.mdf

this would have a 10% chance to drain 10 mp(or the remaining mp if the enemy has less than 10 left) from the enemy and restores it to the user of the skill

edit: havent tested this because i need to go out real soon so if it doesnt work reply and i'll get back to you.

Well, it doesn't seem to be working, but I do like the idea of having it in a formula rather than the script -- no rush if you're going out. Thanks for the help Xypher.

what doesnt work about it?

 

[djm3]

it doesn't drain MP from the enemy (I tried it at 99%)

this is what i used:

x = [10, b.mp].min; (b.mp -= x;a.mp += x) if rand(100) <= 99; 4 * a.mat - 2.b.mdf

 

[Xypher]

do your enemies have mp

Edit: also i noticed i made a mistake in the example formula

it would be 4 * a.mat - 2 * b.mdf for the last section of the formula

 

[djm3]

Yes they do ( already made that mistake once before )

 

[djm3]

Ok sorry, I see what's happeing now!.

It is working! but it's not displaying the drain pop up (yanfly battle engine) that I've gotten use to seeing.
