Good evening!

So, some context. In my RPG, I decided to change the "guard" skill. Normally, iirc, it does something that lowers incoming damage, but I wanted to change it as to become something like a taunt: a skill that, upon use, would draw all incoming attacks towards the user. That way, the player would be able to control the flow of incoming damage and whatnot.

I decided to do that by making the guard skill add a "guard" state to the user, which would raise their target rate parameter and therefore draw the enemies' attention. However, I soon found out that the state could normally only multiply it by 1000%, which is, in practice, not enough, as the enemies keep targetting characters besides the guarder.

Is there any way, be it by plugin, or by script (or something else, idk) to make the guard state raise the target rate by more than that? Preferably as high as it could possibly go as to make the skill consistent.

Thank you for your time!



tl;dr: I want to increase target rate as high as it can possibly go with a single skill. Is there any way to surpass the 1000% limit imposed on states?

Try to use multiple 1000%

Copy and paste the 1000%. It stacks.

Call a common event that gives all other party members a state that reduces their target rate to 0?
Or use a taunt plugin...

So long as any other party members have any target rate, that's a mathematical possibility.

If you want to force targeting, you can try also applying states to the other party members to decrease their target rates to 0, or (probably much more easily):
use a taunt plugin...
that.

Oh, wow. Didn't think about that. I think it'll be enough (if I use a ton of them)!

thanks a lot for the help folks! You helped me out immensely!

This could probably be an entire thread, but it’s really interesting how replaying a game several years later can change how you relate to a character. I think Tidus from FFX got such a bad rap. I getchu. Completely different reaction as an adult now.
As you see, I still enjoy writing tutorials. Is there anything specific you want to see? (I know mapping and editing/resource making is usually popular, but those are very broad topics)
Well, I wanted to expand player battlers visually and now have 3 sheets and counting for each of my players party.
1. Regular sheet
2. The character has turned stone sheet.
3. Using potions sheet.

Technically the main hero has 4 since he starts with a wooden sword, and I felt that the battler should reflect that until he gets a metal one.

Right back to the RM game dev grind in about 15 minutes. :LZSexcite:
Days ago I gave someone the sage advice not to steer away from your main project or take up another one to abandon the first. After figuring a way that would save me years of development, I am forced to redo a lot of stuff on my own turf, near to remake half of what I have already made.
Somewhere down the line I must have crossed paths with bad karma.
