How do I make a weapon that when it successfully attacks a foe, it heals some HP to the user?

[Phil32]

This is what I get for going on a hiatus from RPG Maker MV for over a half year--I forget seemingly basic things! Ha
I've been tinkering with the Buffs and Effects section of a bow weapon that is supposed to heal a fraction/percentage of the user's weapon's attack on a single enemy, but instead, it's currently just healing the user who has the weapon equipped at the end of every turn. I'm probably overlooking something incredibly simple, so if anyone could push me in the right direction, that would be much appreciated.

Thanks for reading, and if you need me to post more information to get better help, just let me know!

How about using Yanfly's Life Steal [Link] plugin?

a.gainHp(Math.round(a.mhp / 33)); a.atk * 1.5


In this instance, the attack will heal the attacker for 3% of their max HP, then go on to inflict damage.

A clunky way you could do it is make the weapon change the attack skill to something that absorbs HP. Or do you want it to affect certain skills as well?

Or call the weapon @Hungry Moogle so it eats their HP. Jkjk

Trying to limit how many plugins I use, but if push comes to shove, that will be plan B.

a.gainHp(Math.round(a.mhp / 33)); a.atk * 1.5

Forgive my ignorance: what section does this go in when editing a weapon's properties?

It only affects regular attacks.

Actually, it would be in a skill formula, not in weapon properties. but if you have Yanfly's Weapon Unleash plugin, you can have it replace a weapon's default attack

Okay. This is what I currently have, but I must be missing something really simple, as it's currently not working.

In the second screen capture, the Attack skill is 0148, which used the HP siphon skill, so when an enemy is attacked, the user gets healed. Of course, that's not working as of yet.

Correct, now you just need the Yanfly Weapon Unleash (http://www.yanfly.moe/wiki/Weapon_Unleash_(YEP))

Then you will put this in the weapon's notebox:
<Replace Attack: 148>

And that will cause that weapon to utilize Skill 148 as it's normal attack.
