.note, Need general help with setting up a one for States, Like PoisonDMG = Options

[Titanhex]

Alright I want to use the .note of a State so that I can read some values from it.

Particularly, I want it so if the string Slip DMG = is in the note it uses the value after Slip DMG =. This isn't mentioned in dah0rst's tutorial, so I came here to ask how I'd do it. How would I go about something like this?

I want it to be used in Game_Battler class, since that contains this:

CODE

  def slip_damage_effect
    if slip_damage? and @hp > 0
      @hp_damage = apply_variance(maxhp / 10, 10)
      @hp_damage = @hp - 1 if @hp_damage >= @hp
      self.hp -= @hp_damage
    end
  end

I constructed this snippet from reference and for the most part understand it:

CODE

      $data_states[].note.each_line { |line|
      slip_amount = line.gsub('Slip DMG = ', '').chomp.to_i if line.include?('Slip DMG = ')
      }

Unfortunately I don't know how to get the number of the state causing the slip damage.

Once again, ba-bump.

Once again, ba-bump.

Try this (it was for RGSS, but I bet methods are quite the same)

CODE

def slip_damage_effect
if slip_damage? and @hp > 0
amount = 0
for state_id in self.states
if $data_states[state_id].slip_damage
#insert your snippet here...
#just one thing: damage should be stored into a variable named [i]slip_amount[/i]
#for example, I pasted your code just below this line, but if you've changed it just replace these lines...
  $data_states[state_id].note.each_line { |line|
      slip_amount = line.gsub('Slip DMG = ', '').chomp.to_i if line.include?('Slip DMG = ')
      }

#sum amounts
amount += slip_amount
end
end

#do damage
self.hp -= amount
end
end

This is a loop checking every status your hero / enemy has and check the notes only for slip_damage status.
Try and let me know...
