Make weak attacks do 1 damage instead of 0

[Lunawolfcomics]

Hey guys so you know when you are far in a game and your party is all beefed up with super high defense and armor and such and you decide to wonder off to an earlier stage of the game. These foes are far weaker than you and every attack they land does absolutely no damage. How do I set it up so that weak attacks will do at least 1 damage? Thank you .

Just add "+ 1" to the end of your damage formula.

Adding 1 to your damage formula won't work since the total result could still be negative.  You could add a "max" function to each damage skill in the game, and that would get closer, but things like Guarding could still reduce the damage to zero.  So we'll need to do some super-basic scripting.

Go to the make_damage_value method in Game_Battler.

Right before this line:

@result.make_damage(value.to_i, item)Add this:

if value > 0.0value = [value, 1.0].maxendAnd that should do it.

I'm getting a syntax error:

unexpected tIDENTIFIER, expecting key_word then or ';' or '\n'

That code shouldn't cause that error, so maybe you've keyed it in wrong.


Can you copy/paste that method so we can see what you've done?

Here is where I put the script:

It appears like you typed it in correctly, but I just pasted it in to a mostly clean project myself, and can't reproduce the error you're getting.  The fact that it's asking for a "then", semicolon, or new line makes me think that you somehow entered an incorrect line break.

• Comment out those lines (add a # sign at the beginning of each line) and try again.  If the bug still happens, my code is not what is causing the error.  If the bug disappears, these new lines have somehow caused this error.  Remember to restore the lines by removing the # sign before proceeding...
• Try deleting and manually re-typing it.  Preferably, do the same with the lines above and below, too.  If that doesn't work, delete it and paste it directly from what I entered above.
• Check to make sure you don't have any other scripts that alias or overwrite this method.
• Play around and see if it always happens or only under certain conditions (like an attack where the damage would be increased to 1), and let me know when it does and doesn't happen.

Anyone have any other ideas?  This is definitely a strange error.

ok so I commented out the lines, then deleted them. The error went away however the damage from a weak attack still does 0 damage.

Okay, so now you know that those lines were the offenders.  But you still don't know why (and the fact that the code worked for me means that it's probably something that had to do with the input, or a script incompatability, or a specific situation).  Try all of the other things I suggested, and see what happens...

yeah so I did the other things on the list and nothings working for me. The damage still does 0. Thanks though

You have to restore the lines (un-comment them) before doing anything else.

If you DID restore them before the other things on the list, and tried my script snippet in a clean project, and are still getting 0 damage, then I'm out of ideas on how to help you, sorry

No problem.  All the best in your gamemaking.
