The official VisuStella notetag help thread

You could create a text code replacement for it and add your conditional to the code there.

I've considered it and it seems possible now that I looked at this more closely, like you can split a number input in the textcode tag. Just need to look how the default MZ textcodes draw icons I guess. The rest is setting the actor and skill variables and putting them in the If branch.

Hrm, yeah. I tried returning '\i76]' in the text code text but it just shows as-is (tried with 2 slashes as well) so doesn't look like they support using codes themselves. Which makes sense I guess.

All the other ones that show icons call existing functions which just take a boolean parameter for whether to display the icon or not.

Hi ! As a total noob in JS I desperately try to port some Yanfly Tips and Tricks to MZ. Can you help me with this one? : "Cleric Stance"

<Custom Confirm Effect>
// Check if the action is magical and deals HP damage.
if (this.isMagical () && this.isHpEffect () && value> 0) {
// Then increase the damage dealt to 120%.
value = Math.ceil (value * 1.20);
// Chec if the action is magical and heals HP.
} else if (this.isMagical () && this.isHpEffect () && value <0) {
// Then decrease the healing done to 80%.
value = Math.ceil (value * 0.80);
}
</ Custom Confirm Effect>

For the state, and for the skill :

<Before Eval>
// The State ID of the Cleric Stance.
var clericStanceId = 155;
// Check if the user is affected by the state.
if (user.isStateAffected (clericStanceId)) {
// If the user is, then remove the state.
user.removeState (clericStanceId);
// If the user isn't ...
} else {
// Then add the state.
user.addState (clericStanceId);
}
</ Before Eval>

Thank you very much !

Thank you very much !

Below code goes into the State:
<JS Pre-Damage as User>
if (this.isHpEffect() && this.isMagical() && value > 0){
value = Math.ceil(value * 1.2);
} else if (this.isHpEffect() && value < 0){
value = Math.floor(value * 0.8);
}
</JS Pre-Damage as User>

And this into the skill itself:
<JS Post-Apply>
if (user.isStateAffected(x)){
user.removeState(x);
} else {
user.addState(x);
}
</JS Post-Apply>
changing x into your state's ID.

Many thanks ! I reread each page of this thread 10 times to find the solution without success ^^ "

If anyone has a little time I also have problems reproducing this effect:
<Custom Turn End Effect>
if (user.mp == 0) {user.removeState (16)};
</ Custom Turn End Effect>

I also have a few questions, I can't find a solution to reproduce this: <Target: All Allies But User> is this not possible at the moment?

And I suppose that to reproduce everything related to "auras" we will have to wait for a dedicated plugin ?

Is there a solution to transpose all: <Custom Apply Effect>
or should they be changed on a case-by-case basis depending on their effect?

Once again thank you for your answers

You can change <Custom Turn End Effect> into "<JS Pre-End Turn>"* and <Custom Apply Effect> is turned into "<JS On Add State>"; <Target: All Allies But User> goes into the skill or item and overwrites the original scope to affect the party even if it targets an enemy.

*This also has <JS Post-End Turn> as another alternative.

Thank you for your quick reply !
I will try it !

PS : Sorry for "all allies except the user" I thought it was not working but I did not see well ...

WOuldn't it be easier if there was a list of the MV Tips and Tricks that work in MZ or the ones that were modified to work in MZ instead of scouring 15+ pages of text?

 

[Weremole]

All the other ones that show icons call existing functions which just take a boolean parameter for whether to display the icon or not.

I'm doing something terribly wrong here.

const textState = arguments[0];

const data = this.obtainEscapeString(textState).split(',');

if (textState.drawing) {

const actor = parseInt(data[0].trim());

const skill = parseInt(data[1] || '0');{

if $gameActors.actor(actor).skills().contains($dataSkills[skill]); {



const icon = 92

return this.drawIcon(icon);

}else{

const icon = 74

return this.drawIcon(icon);



}

}

Try taking out the "return" statements and see if that works.

That'd be awesome.

 

[Trihan]

That'd be awesome.

Almost all of them do except the ones which use Selection Control or Target Core. I know this because I've recreated all of them in MZ for a client.

I am working on a document outlining the notetag changes required to make them compatible, but I'm not done yet.

 

[Weremole]

No dice.

 

[Trihan]

No dice.

Did you remove the entire lines or just the word "return" from those lines? I meant the latter, in case that wasn't clear.

Just the word 'return'.

Hey, @Trihan I was trying to figure out how to make an event shake or tremble, and I remembered that YEP's Event Sprite Offset plugin had move route script calls to offset the sprite by n pixels. I haven't seen anything like that in VisuStella's plugins, but I thought I'd ask. Is there any way to implement that, or are there any plans to bring that back?

The script calls are the same as in the MV plugin: this._spriteOffsetX = whatever and this._spriteOffsetY = whatever.

Thanks! I wish they put that in the documentation, though.

 

[Trihan]

Thanks! I wish they put that in the documentation, though.

As far as I was aware VisuStella was focusing on putting easy-to-use tools in the hands of developers who can't code their own; the focus was more on plugin commands and parameter functionality than documenting every script call. By all means stick that in the suggestion box if you want to, though.

What do you mean by add state via notetags?

On a skill, you can make said skill add a state to the affected unit via notetag, so, is there a way for said state to be affected by enemy state resist.
