RMMV [YEP_BuffStatesCore] <Custom Remove Effect> & <Custom Leave Effect>

[Frostorm]

Is there a way for me to utilize both conditionally? Basically, I want a state to do X if removed, or do Y if turn decayed. What should I put in an "if" statement in order to do this? Is this even possible? I mean, it must be possible since those 2 tags exist, thus there must be a way to differentiate whether a state is removed via turn decay vs other means. If I can find the proper conditional, then I'd only have to use <Custom Remove Effect>.

Edit:
For context, the skill in question is called "Arrow to the Knee" ( ), which causes the target to be immobilized for 1 turn and slowed for 3 turns. Thus, I need to create a state that lasts 1 turn, which then adds another state that lasts 2 more turns when the 1st state turn decays down to 0 turns. However, this should only occur if the 1st state is removed via turn decay and not by some other means. This is what I got so far...

State100:

<letbs> //this makes it so the target cannot move
move_scope: circle(0)
</letbs>
<Custom Apply Effect> //this reduces the target's Speed (LUK) by 1/3 the caster's Dexterity (AGI)
var knee = Math.round(origin.agi / 3);
target._knee = target._knee || 0;
target._knee += knee; //it is also stackable, further reducing Speed when reapplied
target.minusLuk(knee);
</Custom Apply Effect>
<Custom Remove Effect>
target.addLuk(target._knee);
target._knee2 = target._knee;
delete target._knee;
</Custom Remove Effect>
<Custom Leave Effect>
target.addState(101); //state 101 is basically just this state w/o the immobilization
</Custom Leave Effect>

State101:

<Custom Apply Effect>
target.minusLuk(target._knee2);
</Custom Apply Effect>
<Custom Remove Effect>
target.addLuk(target._knee2);
delete target._knee2;
</Custom Remove Effect>

It's pretty messy, so I'd love to have a conditional that can distinguish whether the state is being removed by turn decay vs other means.

From looking at the code, it seems to me, that the code inside <custom remove effect> will always be executed if the state is removed. The code inside the <Custom Leave Effect> will only be executed if additionally $gameTemp._customLeaveEffectEval is true. So if you really want to only use the <custom remove effect>, in theory you could do:

<Custom Remove Effect>
  if ($gameTemp._customLeaveEffectEval) {
    //do thing if state got removed through decay
  }
  else {
    //do thing if state got removed through sth else than decay
  }
</Custom Remove Effect>

However I would do something along the lines of:

<Custom Leave Effect>
    //do thing if state got removed through decay
</Custom Leave Effect>

<Custom Remove Effect>
  if (!$gameTemp._customLeaveEffectEval) {
    //do thing if state got removed through sth else than decay
  }
  //do thing no matter how state got removed
</Custom Remove Effect>

It just seems cleaner to me to actually use both tags for their intended purposes and just exempt stuff from the <custom remove effect> that you explicitly don't want to happen if the state decays.

Thank you, that was exactly what I was looking for!

Edit: As a result, I was able to clean up the code a bit!

1st State:

<letbs>
move_scope: circle(0)
</letbs>
<Custom Apply Effect>
var knee = Math.round(origin.agi / 3);
target._knee = target._knee || 0;
target._knee += knee;
target.minusLuk(knee);
</Custom Apply Effect>
<Custom Remove Effect>
if ($gameTemp._customLeaveEffectEval) {
  target.addState(101);
} else {
  target.addLuk(target._knee);
  delete target._knee;
}
</Custom Remove Effect>

2nd State:

<Custom Remove Effect>
target.addLuk(target._knee);
delete target._knee;
</Custom Remove Effect>
