Yanfly's Skill Rewards plug in, double value display bug

[Nilom]

I think I've come across a bug in Yanfly's Skill Rewards plug in.

What I basically want to do with this skill is use up to 40 TP and recover 1% HP for each TP used. Note: I wanted the user to be able to use this ability with 1 TP, 5 TP, 30 TP, 100 TP or whatever.
I didn't know how to substract 40 TP without setting the TP cost of the skill other than 0, so I had the idea to use the hit reward notetag.

The issue with this is, using this notetag, Yanfly's plug in will display the healed value twice.

Does anybody know a fix for this? Or alternatively how I can substract TP while the skill cost is still 0?

I don't have any experience using Yanfly's Skill Rewards so I can't offer a solution there. You could try running one of these at the start of your damage formula to deduct 40TP though.

a.gainTp(-40);
//may show a popup for tp lost.

a.gainSilentTp(-40);
//shouldn't show a popup for tp lost.

a.gainTp(-40);
//may show a popup for tp lost.

a.gainSilentTp(-40);
//shouldn't show a popup for tp lost.

Awesome, thanks! That did the trick! Before I tried a.tp -= 40; .

You'll usually find that actors parameters referenced using .atk or .tp are just getters that execute a function, eg a.param(2). To refer to the actual value you use the version with an underscore, eg a._tp, or a._params[2].

If you're planning on doing things using code I'd advise taking a look at this page:
https://kinoar.github.io/rmmv-doc-web/classes/game_actor.html#atk

While I'm not sure it covers Everything it's a pretty good jumping off point for finding functions that will do what you need without having to open the games code or backtrack from Game_Actor to Game_Battler to Game_BattlerBase looking for one function.

Ah, good to know. I still have a lot to learn.

Instantly bookmarked. Thank you for the link! Will be very useful.
