RMMV: "Block" (w/Equipped Shield Icon) [[SOLVED]]

[M.I.A.]

Hello Everybody!!


I have seen lots of plugin's for evasion, countering, absorbing, and shields/HPshields/ShadowCopies.. but I can't recall seeing one with a "Block"


What I mean, in reference to Final Fantasy 6, when an attack was Blocked, no damage would be dealt or displayed (not even as a 0) and an Icon representation of the Shield/Cloak/Dog that was Blocking the attack would be displayed briefly in front of the character [See Image as Reference].


What I am requesting is a Block Plugin that can operate similar to this function, whereas the string would be assigned in the Actor/Class/Armor (or any other special places that seem to fit into the Plugin) and behave as the following [Note Tags just suggestions].


Actor/Class/Weapon/Armor/Enemy/State Tags:


<BlockPhys: X%, Y>  Blocks Physical Flagged Attacks X% = Integer that is the chance of success to Blocked, Y = Icon that will display as the Blocking object.


<BlockMag: X%, Y>  Blocks Magical Flagged Attacks X% = Integer that is the chance of success to Blocked, Y = Icon that will display as the Blocking object.


<BlockCertain: X%, Y> Blocks Certain Hit Flagged Attacks X% = Integer that is the chance of success to Blocked, Y = Icon that will display as the Blocking object.


<BlockAbsorbHP: X>


<BlockAbsorbHP: X, X, X> If a Block is successful, the damage that would have been dealt by X (element) is returned as restored HP to the Target.


<BlockAbsorbMP: X>


<BlockAbsorbMP: X, X, X> If a Block is successful, the damage that would have been dealt by X (element) is returned as restored HP to the Target.


<BlockAbsorbTP: X>


<BlockAbsorbTP: X, X, X> If a Block is successful, the damage that would have been dealt by X (element) is returned as restored TP to the Target.


<BlockReact: X>


<BlockReact: X, X, X> If a Block is successful, then X = State(s) will be applied to the target that successfully Blocked.


Skills/Items Tags:


<CannotBlock> This Skill or Item Cannot be Blocked.


Final Fantasy 6 Battle: "Blocks" @ 00:13 (BlockAbsorb), 00:56 (Block), 1:21 (Block from Applied State).. Etc

Any skilled plugin Wizards want to tackle this one? Please feel free to ask any questions!!

Gracious, no-pressure, bump!!

I remember something like this in Dragon Quest IX, too... I would love to try this, even though I'm still a complete novice plugin-maker...  I'll get back to you if I find anything, but there might be a way to do things with Yanfly's plugins, which I'll look at first.


Edit: the icon seems a bit difficult, but I'll see what I can do

Excellent!! I'd be down to test it out. Thanks!! We will see how it goes.

Any luck with that one yet? No pressure really, just asking. And if not, a bump for anyone else.

Sorry about the inactivity, I've been making a different plugin, so don't expect a plugin too soon. The plugin I'm currently making is actually a dungeon generator  So it'll take some time, but using Yanfly's Buff/State Core and Yanfly's Passive States I could make a simple block system:


<Custom React Effect>
//just replace 50/100 with the percentage.
if(Math.random()>50/100) {
target.startAnimation(53);
value = 0;
}
</Custom React Effect>


Just put that into a state and make it a passive state on shields. You can change the animation, too. Hope this helps, I might upload a video on it later

Hey, No worries at all. I appreciate the consideration and effort. I'll give that a try and see how it goes!!


Got a link to a thread about your Dungeon Generator? I could be interested to see what that's gonna look like!!

I haven't made a playable version yet, I'm still coding everything  But I'll PM when it comes.

Wow! Im so excited to see this! i haven't tested it yet, but is it going to work on spells too? 


Actually, it looks like this isn't working at all. Unless it's just me.. :'(

Really? You put the notetag in a state and then have the shield have that state be its passive state. So, say I put that notetag in state 12, I would then put in the shield's notetag: <Passive State: 12>. Also, do you have the Yanfly's Passive States plugin and Buff and States Core plugin?

I went ahead and figured it out. You gave me a very good headstart because I don't really know how to script, but I was able to "wing it" to edit this one to work how I needed it. 

 


<Custom React Effect>


//just replace 50/100 with the percentage.


if(this.isPhysical())


if(Math.random() <= 3/100) {


target.startAnimation(183);


value = 0;


}


</Custom React Effect>


This is what I use for my weakest shield with a 3% block rate. Thanks for all the help!  


Just put this in it's own state and attach it to the Shield with an Auto-Passive tag and it's pretty cool  


Forgot to add that my animation 183 is just a shortened version of the default animation 53.
