Yanfly Custom MP Use, Need help figuring out how to add custom MP costs. Options

[nohmaan]

In order to finish my overly complicated games (too many skills), I've condensed the skills into smaller lists so instead of cure I-IV I now have Cure that scales with level.

However, with the BEM I can only assign a skill cost as MP or MP%. Is there a way to make a skill cost both a set MP and an additional percent. I.e. cure should cost 5 and 2%, etc?

[Show/Hide] The 'how to

First, go to line 815 in the Battle Engine Melody III


And straight after that line insert the following code:

CODE

      
    #------------------------------------------------------------------------
    # <cost: x+y% maxmp>
    # - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
    # This tag allows you to create skills that cost a percentage of the
    # battler's MaxMP. That said, this value will always fluctuate depending
    # on the MaxMP of the battler.
    # --- Example --- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
    # <cost: 20% maxmp>
    #------------------------------------------------------------------------
    when /(\d+)\+(\d+)([%])[ ](?:MP|SP|MAXMP|MAXSP)/i
      #---
      calc_cost = $1.to_i + maxmp * $2.to_i / 100
      calc_cost = apply_skill_cost_changes(skill, calc_cost, "MP")
      calc_cost /= 2 if half_mp_cost
      #---
      text_cost = calc_cost.to_s
      use_icon = Icon.mp_cost
      suffix = hash[:mp_suffix]
      colour = hash[:mp_colour]
      font_size = hash[:mp_size]
      can_use = @mp >= calc_cost
      @mp -= calc_cost if perform

Like so:


Then you can create items with the tag:

CODE

<cost: 10+10% mp>

like so:

Which uses 10 MP, and then an additional 10 percent

Perfect, thank you very much good sir!

Maybe I'm doing something wrong but it's not working?

When I put in <cost: 4+2% mp> or <cost: 4+2% maxmp> it ends up costing 1MP with 100 Max MP...?
