How to create a counter that deals the original amount of damage?

Hello,

I was able to change the skill used when countering a physical move by adding "this._action.setSkill(x);" at the .invokeCounterAttack function in Yanfly's Battle Engine Core script.

BattleManager.invokeCounterAttack = function(subject, target) {

this._action.setSkill(201);
this._action.apply(subject);
this._logWindow.displayCounter(target);
this._logWindow.displayActionResults(target, subject);
if (subject.isDead()) subject.performCollapse();
};

Question is, I have no idea of how to actually set the damage of the attack chosen as the counter always
equal to the damage that would be given if the attack that was originally selected wasn't countered.
To clarify, I don't want to apply the original attack's damage formula to the new target; instead, I want for
the game to read the original damage formula as if it was going to hit the original target, and then applying
that same damage on the new target (the original attacker) instead (the original target receives no damage at
all if the attack is countered, just like the default counter is meant to be, so no "counter after hittting").

Is there a way to actually achieve that effect?


Thanks in regard.

Holy stink, where have I been? Well, I started my temporary job this week. So less time to spend on game design... :(
Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
Do you Find Tilesetting or Looking for Tilesets/Plugins more fun? Personally I like making my tileset for my Game (Cretaceous Park TM) xD
How many parameters is 'too many'??
Yay, now back in action Happy Christmas time, coming back!






Back in action to develop the indie game that has been long overdue... Final Fallacy. A game that keeps on giving! The development never ends as the developer thinks to be the smart cookie by coming back and beginning by saying... "Oh bother, this indie game has been long overdue..." How could one resist such?
