RMMV [SOLVED]Javascript code to get current target agility?

[Kaymon145]

Hello everyone, I think this is the proper place to ask this but if not I'm sorry!
I'm setting up a skill using yanfly action sequences and one of the parameters accepts javascript formulas instead of full numbers. I'm trying to get the currently targeted enemies agility to use in this formula but I'm not entirely sure if its possible, all of this is coded in the notebox so putting in values like (a.agi * 4 - b.agi * 2) returns an error. I'm currently getting the actors agility with $gameActors.actor(2).agi, which only works because I only have 1 actor that can do the skill.
Again, not entirely sure if this is possible with how rpgmaker handles active targets, but just thought I'd ask anyway.

b.agi would work inside the damage formula itself.

the problem with an override similar to gameActor is that this does not exist for the other side.
the data you want depends on the troop of the battle and the enemy inside this troop, and troops do not exist on the map (the actors exist through the entire game).

can you give the entire notetag that you try to create?
with the correct context someone might be able to find an alternative to redirect the data.

Hey thanks for the reply, yeah I had a feeling I was going to need to find a workaround or think of another way to do things. I'm using Srd Timed Attack Core and it has a parameter when called to set the speed. The notetag I'm using is in the skills window. I was trying to do something like :

<Timed Attack: default>
 Speed: target.agi - $gameActors.actor(2).agi
<End Timed Attack>

Which dosen't work as target.agi isn't a valid function, I was just guessing and trying a number of different things there.

<Timed Attack: default>
 Speed: $gameActors.actor(2).agi
<End Timed Attack>

works on it's own but I really wanted to factor in the enemies agility too if at all possible.

Something like this seems to work.. but I'm no pro at action sequences
...I had to first set a variable.. there might be better ways idk

This is just a small example though showing a change to the targets hp

<target action>
eval: $gameVariables.setValue(1, (user.agi * 4 - target.agi * 2))
hp -variable 1: target, show
</target action>

..still I'm not really sure what you're trying to do but maybe that info could help idk

You should be able to access the current actor with

BattleManager._subject

and the current target with

$gameTroop.aliveMembers()[BattleManager._action._targetIndex]

Something like this seems to work.. but I'm no pro

I found the first post confusing, also...despite the mention of Action Sequences, I don't think the question actually has to do with them. It looks like it has to do with the notetag for SRD's Timed Attack Core. That would fire off before the Action Sequence gets started, I think, and it doesn't include the user or target variables in the function for the button press timer.

Ahh thank you that's exactly what I was looking for.. I do have an action sequence running after the first part but you're right, that wasn't necessarily relevant information lol. Regardless, it works the way I want it to now and that is very useful information to know. Thank you!
