<Solved> Yanfly's Damage Core - How do I implement "scratch damage"?

[marbeltoast]

Hello all!

I recently installed yanfly's damage core plugin because I thought it would let me implement "Scratch damage", which incase you don't know means a base damage across all attacking actions. Simply put, I want my game's system to be similar to how pokemon works, where even a level 1 using tackle can do a single point of damage to a level 100 with 500 defence.

I believe that damage core can acomplish this, but I'm at a loss as to how it can acomplish this, if it can at all. I found something called "Flat Damage" and also "Flat Global", and I believe that these are the places to start, but I don't really know what these terms mean, or where it is that I'm supposed to write my notetags and what have you.

If any of you know of a plugin (or even something in MV by default) that allows scratch damage, or have answers to any of the questions I've asked, please let me know.

Thank you for reading, and have a happy new year!

This can be done with damage formulas without plugins.
As an example:
statement ? formula1 : formula2;
a.atk > b.def ? a.atk*4 - b.def*2 : 1;

You can find a lot of these kind of damage formulas here: https://rpgmakermv.co/threads/damage-formulas-101-mv-edition.2172/

a.atk > b.def ? a.atk*4 - b.def*2 : 1;

Wow, this is really cool! I didn't know we could put IF statements in damage calculations! This is a game changer... literally! Thanks!

you can even call JS functions like Math.pow and Math.sqrt in those, infact any JavaScript will be accepted as long the end result is a number.
