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?

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!

Ooops ended up trying out making my own A2 tile page instead of testing doors everywhere. Went well so far I think.
I guess I'm done making a blue squirrel's life difficult for posting new threads on different forums.
That's just for today so don't get used to this, squirrel-ish friend! :p
Got new hard drive, now trying to install the softwares I lost to the dead drive, and more than half of them won't install because they're already installed on the dead drive, and uninstallers won't run because they can't find where their programs are installed. So I take it having a drive die on you screws you in more ways than just data loss. >:\
PC got fixed finally. Back online again. Turns out I have no business trying to self repair pcs because it was getting to like 176F / 80C. Shop installed a totally new cooling system and now it runs fine and is super quiet.
When you're making major progress, but have to stop to go to work.
