RMMV Yanfly's Base Parameter Control and messing with HP

[eliaelia123]

Hey

I started RPG maker (MV) recently and now I'm trying to learn more about plugins and Javascript.

So I tried to vary, how the HP in YEP base parameter control plugin works.

Original line:
(base + plus) * paramRate * buffRate + flat

My try:

(base + plus + user.isActor() ? ($gameVariables.value(12) : 0)) * paramRate * buffRate + flat

Somehow my HP always turn to 1 after changing that. When i increased variable 12 and refreshed map, my hp didn't increase. So I'm doing something wrong, but I can't find out what exactly.

Would appreciate a bit of help.

Spoiler: Maybe? helpful context from another thread

Hey,
this thread is a bit older, but is close to the question I have, so i though I would try my luck here.
I also wanted to alter the formula in Yep Base Parameter Control, in my case to :

(base + plus + user.isActor() ? (gameVariables.value(12) : 0) ) * paramRate * buffRate + flat

what i though it would do is:
1. check if user is actor
2.a when yes, add var(12)
2.b when no, add 0

but it doesent work, any idea what I'm doing wrong with it?

Just to note, we're not supposed to necropost.


It's $gameVariables, not gameVariables.

You might want to put code like that into the CODE tag (the </> on the edit bar) - the way your text changes to italics in the middle looks like the forum ate something you typed.

You have incorrect parentheses. The structure of a ternary statement is:
conditional ? true effect : false effect
But you have
conditional ? (true effect : false effect)
which is making the engine...I don't know, probably just spit out a syntax error.

Just get rid of the extra parentheses.

(base + plus + user.isActor() ? $gameVariables.value(12) : 0) * paramRate * buffRate + flat

So, I just tried it out, but it did not change the outcome of 1HP or that it won't increase.

I tried to deactivate all other plugins and afterward it somewhat works I think.

If I increase v12 my max hp also increases. But it starts as 1, though I'm yet unsure why since it should start higher than that.

I'll try to find the plugin which interferes and see which one it is.
Any idea why it starts as 1 max HP?


Edit: Nevermind, it does not work anymore.. though i did not change anything.
Will update when i know whats going on.

I have no idea what values you have in your game.

What do you have variable 12 set to at the beginning of the game? What do you have for HP at level 1 in that actor's class?

If it's working in terms of it increases when you change variable 12, then you just need to look at the actual math. Look up each of those individual values.

If you think a plugin is interfering, you simply turn off all plugins except for this one and see if it's any different.

Hey,

V12 starts as 0.
HP starts as 15.

Spoiler: HP

So.. if i only have Yep paramaters on, it works.. but i need to move at least one space for my status in the menu to update i think?

The moment i activate another plugin, it stops working.
Have tried with YEP core and a few others of yep and that problem arises.
With non yep plugins too, for example altmenuscreen.

Make sure that all of your Yanfly plugins are in the exact order they're listed on the Yanfly Engine Web site. Any changes to that can cause random errors, and that's the most common cause of bugs.

If that is correct, then make sure you're using the most latest version of all of the plugins and that your MV project is the most latest version (1.6.1+).

 

[eliaelia123]

Ok, the order was wrong, i corrected that. Still the bug continuous.
RPG Maker is 1.6.2, so that should be ok.
How do i know if all of the plugins are the lastest version?
Just checking each one manually or is there a simpler way?

 

[ATT_Turan]

If you bought the bundle from itch, they should all be good. If you have any of them downloaded from Yanfly's site before that, you'll need to check.

The version number displays in the plugin manager, and the bottom section of each plugin's Web page shows the most recent. You should not have problems with this functionality with only Yanfly plugins enabled.

You can also try it in a new project, see if there's any difference.

Just to confirm:

RPG Maker is 1.6.2, so that should be ok.

Did you just create the project? If you have an older project and RPG Maker was updated since, that does not automatically update the code.

Hey, I'm somewhat struggeling right now.
Where do i see what the latest version of rpg mv is?
I have it on steam and though it would update by itself..
Besides, i have RPG maker for like .. 9 days? Though I wouldn't have to worry about that tbh.

Then that clearly doesn't apply, right? A quick Google shows 1.6.1 came out in June of 2018.

 

[eliaelia123]

Yes, but I also saw threads about 1.61 being a stable version and haven't found what exactly that means since.. like are all versions above 1.61 not stable?

After checking all plugins one by one, i noticed some where actually old one.. which was funny, since i only got them through steam and itchio and though all of theirs would be up tp date.
Updated them, which fixed a few other problems i had like enemies not showing up in sv battle, but the issue descriped here didn't change because of it.
