Need Help With an Electric Barrier

[PixelBoy360]

Hey guys, I'm trying to make a mechanic where if you attack an enemy after it uses the spell "Thunder Dome" you automatically get stunned for x amount of turns. Unfortunately I don't know where to start with making such a spell.

What version of RPG Maker are you using?

You need to have the spell apply a state that stuns the enemy, and you can say how many turns.

'Game Mechanics Design' is for looking at aspects of gameplay at a more conceptual level. "How do I...?" (Implementation) questions belong in the Support forum for the engine you are using. Please post which engine that is so that this thread can be moved.

But I want the attacker get stunned after the spell is applied to the user, so the attacker only gets stunned if they attack the user.

@PixelBoy360 It would be helpful if you put that info on your Profile Page so that it showed up under your avatar, then people will know in future.
Also, if you want to quote more than one person, use the Multiquote button, otherwise the forum software automatically creates a new post for each quote.
Thanks.

You can do it with Yanfly's Weapon Animation plugin

Here's how I would do it :

The enemy casts "Thunder dome" and gains the state "Electric barrier". If I understand, any physical damage dealt to the enemy causes the attacker to be stunned.

In the state effect :

Sp-Parameter Physical Damage Rate 0% (only if you want the enemy to take no damage in addition of counterattacking and stunning the attacker)
Ex-Parameter Counterattack Rate 100% (The enemy will ALWAYS stun anyone trying to attack it)
Attack State Rate : Stunned 100%

With YEP Weapon Animation you can put that in the notetags :


<Weapon Animation: x>

It will temporary replace the basic attack animation (which plays while counterattacking) by one of your choice, like a thunder animation.

I tested it, and it works !
