Status effects inflicted as chance instead of 100%, Rmxp Options

[Vexus]

This is something that I find crappy because by default if you get hit you'll get poisoned unless your fortunate enough on having higher strengths over it.

I prefer it as a chance and so I was going to do it via an event.

Now the problem is how can I know which will be the target? The rest of the event is fairly easy you just need to make a random variable and a conditional to your specific percentage then inflict the status effect if it succeeds.

Anyone know what could I do?

Thanks.

If you intend to do it via common event, there's a rather simple way (well, more or less)

1. add this line just below Scene Battle 1,

CODE

class Scene_Battle
attr_reader :active_battler #add this line
def main #etc, etc, etc

2. in the common event, target id is:

CODE

$scene.active_battler.current_action.target_index

Do percentage calculation in Variable X (where X is a number) then:

>Conditional branch: if Variable X == tot (or anything else) then

call script:

CODE

battler = $scene.active_battler
tgt_id = battler.current_action.target_index
if battler.is_a?(Game_Actor)
tgt = $game_troop.smooth_target_enemy(tgt_id)
else
tgt = $game_party.smooth_target_actor(tgt_id)
end
tgt.add_state(ID)

>end branch

Where ID is the state id.

I hope this was clear enough...

The percentage calculation got me a little confused.

So I call the variable x by random number or fixed value? Like if it was it's actual percentage of working?

And by conditional branch if x variable is equal or higher, equal or less? I know how to make it with a random variable but the percentage value is a bit confusing how to make it on conditional branch.

Thanks jens.

Let's say you want Poison to hit in the 35% of cases.

Variable[X] = Random number from 0 to 100

>If Variable[X] < 35

call script

>branch end

This is what I meant.
I'm sorry to have been so confusing...

Ok thanks I'll try it out now and don't worry hehe

[Edit]

I think it worked (It took the bite to poison target 3 tries at 30% chance).

All I couldn't understand how to implement was:

2. in the common event, target id is:

CODE
$scene.active_battler.current_action.target_index

But the script call you posted at the bottom from what I could understand does it on it's own.
