Item Hit Ratio, Add a hit ratio attribute to a consumable item Options

Item Hit Ratio Addition
By BigEd781

I did this as a request, so I thought i would share. This script allows you to give consumable items like potions and scrolls a hit ratio attribute. For example, you could create an item that revives a character, but is only effective 50% of the time.

Configuration / Use

[Show/Hide] Config

To give an item a hit ratio, you will add a line to the "Notes" field of that item. It should look like this:

CODE

[hit ratio]50

Spaces and case are ignored. The "[hit ratio]" tag tells the script that this item has a specified hit ratio value, and "50" is the value. A value of 50 would mean that the item is successful 50% of the time. 25 would mean it was successful 25% of the time, 100 would mean 100% (which is the default) and so on. Here is an image:

Script

[Show/Hide] Script

CODE

module RPG
  
  class Item
    
    def get_consumable_hit_ratio
      ratio = 100
      self.note.each { |line|
        line.downcase!        
        line.gsub!(' ', '')          
        ratio = line.gsub("[hitratio]", '') if line.include?("[hitratio]") }              
      return ratio.to_i
    end
    
  end
  
end

class Game_Battler
  
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Apply Item Effects
  #     user : Item user
  #     item : item
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  alias :eds_old_pre_hit_ratio_item_effect :item_effect
  def item_effect(user, item)  
    if item_effective?(user, item) && item.is_a?(RPG::Item)
      clear_action_results
      ratio = item.get_consumable_hit_ratio    
      if rand(100) >= ratio
        @missed = true
        return
      end
    end
    eds_old_pre_hit_ratio_item_effect(user, item)
  end
  
end

Compatibility / Issues
Should be fine as far as compatibility is concerned, let me know of any bugs.

Not sure to applied the hit ratio on medical items, but it will be very usefull for throwable items. Nice script Ed!

PS : I just think about, maybe you could create somekind script for throwable items. I mean, only certain characters that could access/use that item on battle. Something like Shadow (FF6) and Amarant (FF9) throw skill. Just an idea... hehe...
