State that delays other negative states until expires.

[Icenick]

I haven't found anything really like this except with damage.
I want to make a state that reduces all damage by 50% for 3 turns and any negative states (psn, blind, etc) and debuffs are removed until the state expires then are reapplied. Second if possible any new states added will not be added but will be also be applied when the state expires.
Ex: The actor uses "last stand" skill and removes PSN, DEF Debuff and now is immune to all negatives status.
An enemy casts BLINDand it does not get applied.
Another enemy applies ATK Debuff and it is not applied.
Finally when last stand expires, the actor regains the initial PSN and DEF Debuff but additionally BLIND and ATK Debuff are added.

Are you using Yanfly's Buffs & States Core plugin?

Okay, give your state the PDR * 50% and MDR * 50% traits to half all damage, then in the notebox put

<Custom Apply Effect>
target._savedStates = [];
let states = target.states().filter(state => state.id !== 12);
states.forEach(function(state) {
  target._savedStates.push([state.id, target.stateTurns(state.id)]);
  target.removeState(state.id);
});
</Custom Apply Effect>
<Custom Deselect Effect>
let states = target.states().filter(state => state.id !== 12);
states.forEach(function(state) {
  target._savedStates.push([state.id, target.stateTurns(state.id)]);
  target.removeState(state.id);
});
</Custom Deselect Effect>
<Custom Remove Effect>
target._savedStates.forEach(function(state) {
  target.addState(state[0]);
  target._stateTurns[state[0]] = state[1];
});
delete target._savedStates;
</Custom Remove Effect>

This will store any state the user is afflicted with while the state is active (except itself, obviously; replace 12 with the ID of the state that's doing this effect) and then reapply them all when the state ends at the number of turns that were left on them when stored.

SyntaxError: Block-scoped declarations (let, const, function, class) not yet supported outside strict mode {stack: (...), message: "Block-scoped declarations (let, const, function, class) not yet supported outside strict mode"}

Got this error, running RM1.5.1, I think I should update it but im scared to lose any plugins lol. Should I just update it?

Also wondering how to go about saving states, I tried a few things but couldnt figure it out.

Debuffs are a bit more tricky because of the way buffs and debuffs are considered the same. I was trying an idea but im not so good with coding.

If 0 being HP debuff is active, it will set it to off //
if (user._buffs[0] >= 1) {
    user._buffs[0] *= 0;}

I could do this for all of the params, but I am unsure how to store and then re-add them. Even looking at your code I dont fully know the work around.
How do you cycle through buffs[0-7] then if it finds a debuff (value at -1), it 'Pushes' that debuff to save and then re-add when state is removed. Since I don't understand how cycle and loops work I would do something crazy long and unnecessary to achieve it.

For each buff 0-7 //
<Custom Apply Effect>
var hpbuff = 0
if (user._buffs[0] >= 1) {
    user._buffs[0] *= 0;
   var hpbuff += 1;}
</Custom Apply Effect>

<Custom Remove Effect>
if (var hpbuff = 1){
user.addDebuff(0,??);}
</Custom Remove Effect>

Just change let to var if you're using an older version.

I'll answer the second part of your query when I'm home.

Edit: So in addition to doing this with states, you want it to remove/store debuffs as well?

It didnt work so I just updated to 1.6.1 and it works great now!
Yes I was hoping debuffs and not buffs would work with it, sort of a nothing bad can happen to you until it runs out.

Because the skill targets the user, user and target are the same so it doesn't matter which you use. You could have used user there if you'd wanted. The ID in the filter is to make sure you don't store and remove the state that's storing and removing negative states/debuffs. Note that it will also store positive states right now; you'd have to provide it a list of negative ones that should be stored if you want to do that.

forEach is a function of arrays that iterates through each element using the variable you supply to it. You can then refer to the current element of the array using that variable inside the code block. Basically yeah this'll cycle through all states that don't have ID 12, add them to the _savedStates array and remove them from the user.

Correct on the Deselect effect. Just does the same thing as the apply after the user has been selected as a target, storing any states that were added to them to the array.

Index refers to the current array element; in a forEach if you supply a second parameter to the function, it'll store the current element's index as well as the element itself. Because we need to refer to a specific element of _buffTurns in order to get the one for the buff we're currently looking at, it's easier to pass the index in so we can use it in the code block.

The 0 and 1 are array elements. _savedStates and _savedDebuffs are stored as arrays of arrays, the first element (0) being the state/debuff ID and the second element (1) being the number of turns.

Delete sets the variable back to being undefined, yeah.

Wow that you so much for taking the time to break it all down, I feel now that I might actually be able to attempt a task such as thing. I really appreciate it! Forum needs more like you
