States over time! --- Help ---

[ASUG0]

The Story so far:
I'm working on a game with an ATB Battle System and hit a dead end. I need to find a way to deal damage to a target over a certain amount of time unrelated to the number of the targets actions.

What I want:
A way to make states last for a period of time unrelated to the battlers AGI. E.g I want poison to deal damage to its target every 2 seconds instead of on the battlers turn end.


Concluding thoughts:
A way to make this happen would be to make a variable that counts up every second the state is applied until a certain value is reached and the state is removed. The catch would be to find a way to count properly. I however would prefer a better solution to this problem.

I beg for your help/advice/a plugin

Cheers!

ragretably, I know nothing of MZ, however, I do this in MV, as that is the battle system I use, and it works amazingly well! I do hope you get it figured out in MZ.

Do you know of a plugin that makes states stackable (applying the same state mulltiple times on a target)?

Ur help would be appreciated, UwU

of course, there's a few for MV, but again, I know nothing about MZ, so if that's what you're using, I really can't help.

You may want to try these plugins:
DoubleX_RMMZ_TPBS_Countdown_States
DoubleX RMMZ State Triggers
The state trigger notetag can be something like this:

<state triggers turn val script: true, x>

And the script event command for setting the game variable with id x for the poison to deal y damage per state turn counter update can be something like this:

$gameVariables.setValue(x, `
    this._result.clear();
    this._result.used = this._result.success = true;
    this._result.hpAffected = true;
    this.gainHp(-y);
    this.onDamage(y);
    this.startDamagePopup();
    if (this._hp <= 0) {
        this.addState(this.deathStateId());
        BattleManager._logWindow.displayChangedStates(this);
    }
`);

Finally, the TPBS countdown state notetag can be something like this(it only works in TPBS):
<countdown states interval val val: true, z>
This makes the state turn counter to be updated(and thus the regen to be triggered) every z seconds

Thank u UwU



Edit: DoubleX_RMMZ_TPBS_Countdown_States doesn't seem to work for me. Perhaps its due to compatibility problems with other scripts...
