Magic Defense script that doesn't mess up healing, Enelvon's and Yanfly's not working for me Options

[sillypieman]

I tried using Yanfly's script, but when I tried to play it with most of the extra stats disabled it would give me errors. I think it was conflicting with the Tankentai battle system.

So I found Enelvon's Resistance/Luck script. It's simple, and it does exactly what I need it to do--provide a magic defense stat. The problem is: all healing spells just heal for the damage amount, and they aren't affected by spirit at all.

And I did confirm that it is this script causing it, because when I take it out the healing spells work fine. Also doing Ignore Defense for the healing spells doesn't help either. It's very strange, and I would greatly appreciate any help or insight. Thanks in advance!


P.S. Here's the script I'm using.

CODE

module RESISTANCE
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# Resistance/Magic Defense System v2.4
# Written by Enelvon
# THIS SCRIPT IS RPGMAKERVX.NET EXCLUSIVE! Please do not distribute it
# elsewhere.
#
# This script allows you to have a Resistance stat that replaces the default
# method of defense from Spirit-based skill attacks, which I found to be
# ridiculous. With this script, setting up enemy Res is ESSENTIAL unless you
# want them to always take full damage from Spirit-based skills.
#
#
# Instructions:
# 1. Place this above Main. If you use my Luck script, place it above that as
# well.
# 2. Change the Vocabulary for Resistance to whatever you want it to be called.
# Vocabulary
Resistance = "Resistance"
Res_abr = "RES" # Abbreviation for Resistance
LIMIT_BREAK = false # Set this to true to allow actors to pass 999 resistance.

class Res_Information # Ignore this.
def self.initiate_res # Ignore this.
# 4. Define each Actor's Res growth.
# To define an Actor's Res, use this snippet:
# set_res_growth(Actor ID, Base Luck, Res Gained Per Level)
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Place Actor Res growths below here. Remember, use ONLY lowercase letters.
set_res_growth(1, 0, 1) # example - delete/change as needed.
set_res_growth(2, 0, 1)
set_res_growth(3, 0, 1)



#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# 5. To increase an Actor's Res in an event, use this in the Script event
# command:
# "$data_actors[actor_id].inc_res(val)"
# 6. To have weapons or armors add to the Actor's Res stat, add this tag into
# their Notes field: '<RES n>' (without the quotes). Replace n with the number
# you want it to add. If you want it to subtract from the Res stat, use
# '<SUB_RES n>' (without the quotes). Replace n with the number you want it
# to subtract - no negative sign. That's all!
# 7. To have a state influence the Res stat, in the Notes field of the state add
# this tag: '<AFFECT_RES n>' (without the quotes). Replace n with the number
# (as a percent without the percent sign) you want the state to change by.
# For example, <AFFECT_RES 50> would have the Actor's Res stat, while
# <AFFECT_RES 200> would double it. The default (you don't need to add anything)
# for a state is an invisible <AFFECT_RES 100>, or no change.

Edit: Starting on line 203 it has:

if damage < 0 # a negative number?
damage -= user.atk * 4 * obj.atk_f / 100 # Attack F of the user
damage -= user.spi * 2 * obj.spi_f / 100 # Spirit F of the user
end

I'm thinking it has something to do with that. I'm messing around with it and still can't figure it out.

Okay, I ended up fixing it myself after a lot of experimentation. Here is the part I changed:

CODE

alias enelvon_res_skill_damage :make_obj_damage_value
def make_obj_damage_value(user, obj)
damage = obj.base_damage # get base damage
if damage > 0
  if damage > 0 # a positive number?
    damage += user.atk * 4 * obj.atk_f / 100 # Attack F of the user
    damage += user.spi * 2 * obj.spi_f / 100 # Spirit F of the user
    unless obj.ignore_defense # Except for ignore defense
    damage -= self.def * 2 * obj.atk_f / 100
    damage -= self.res * 2 * obj.spi_f / 100
  end
  damage = 0 if damage < 0 # If negative, make 0
    if damage < 0 # a negative number?
      damage -= user.atk * 4 * obj.atk_f / 100 # Attack F of the user
      damage -= user.spi * 2 * obj.spi_f / 100 # Spirit F of the user
    end
  end
else
    damage -= user.atk * 4 * obj.atk_f / 100 # Attack F of the user
    damage -= user.spi * 2 * obj.spi_f / 100 # Spirit F of the user
end

I added an If statement before all the damage calculation to check if it was greater than 0. If it is, it would do the normal damage calculation he had written. If not (less than 0, which means a healing spell), it would just SUBTRACT instead of ADD in the spirit stat, and wouldn't do all the defense calculation.

Here's the modified script in case anyone is looking for something like this:
