[RMVX] Regenerate HP/MP on Defense Options

[Ty]

Script Name: Regenerate HP/MP on Defense
Written by: Synthesize
Current Version: 1.2.0A
Release Date: January 20, 2008

What is this script?
With this script, the developer has the ability to allow players to regenerate HP and/or SP (Now MP) when they defend. The customization is at the top of the script. This script was made by analyzing the Scene_Battle script in the Trial version and then remaking it in XP, so there may/may not be bugs.

Features:
- Regenerate HP/MP when you use defend
- Customize how much HP/MP is regenerated per every actor
- Enemies also Regenerate HP/MP when they defend
- Displays how much HP/MP the battler regenerated
- Customize the defend rates
- Hopefully easy to use

Version history:
Version 1.2.0A
- Customize the defence rates
- Documentation has been added
- Draw Text option has been added
- Works with Enemies along with party members
- Displays how much HP/MP battlers regenerated

version 1.0.0A:
- First release

This is a good idea, since the old Defense feature had no point.

[SeeYouAlways]

Like I suggested before, you should document the configuration part of the script for people that don't know scripting.

Also, maybe you can expand on this as an "Improved Defense" script so you can do things like decrease the damage recieved even more if you use defend, or increase the threat on the enemy so they tend to attack you more, kind of like a "cover" ability.

Well, those are my hopeful suggestions but you're probably not up to it.

V.1.2.0 has been released and can be found in the first post.

Version 1.2.0A:
- Customize the defence rates
- Documentation has been added
- Draw Text option has been added
- Works with Enemies along with party members
- Displays how much HP/MP battlers regenerated

Also, does a mod mind moving this to the RGSS-2 forum? Thanks ^^

As an Rm2k3 user, I'm new to the whole scripts thing. Where do I put this to make it work?

[SeeYouAlways]

Insert a new script anywhere above the "Main" script in the script editor and paste the code in there. It should work after that.

[Jon_jon_elpresid...]

I can't seem to get it to work i posted it in it's own page above the mainand all it does is say something in japanese(the command i assume.) randomly they glow and nothing! help plz!

[NiniaDrain]

Works fine for me, thanks!

[Diedrupo]

This is a good idea, since the old Defense feature had no point.

Actually, defending by default does have a point if you add some intelligent enemy actions in battle. For instance, if you have an enemy that charges his attack for 1 round and unleashes it the next round, and you know that the charged attack would kill you in 1 hit, but defending would mitigate that, it would be better to defend...

That's just one example, there are plenty of other scenarios you can think of.

[CrimsonPride]

For some reason I'm getting a syntax error at line 18 (HP_regen.default = 5 # %).

I copied the script exactly so I'm not sure why this is..

[Jemik]

Great in theory and would love to use it, and have already tried it.

but it would be better if it only restored LOST hp and mp.
Its just giving you random hp and mp almost every time you guard. even at full hp/mp.

[Mune]

nevermind, I fixed it myself...

[epfrndz]

where do i add this script?

[Xirdneh]

where do i add this script?

Scroll up and read!

[oblivionator]

just a quick note, i tried this awesome script and found out that when i put false for increasing HP while defending and true enough it stopped adding HP but the message still appears something like this:
"Ylva's HP increased by and MP increased by 11"
meaning whether or not the character's HP is regenerated, it will still says so, which is weird... =/

another thing is, i want to be able to enable the HP regeneration thing at some point later, perhaps for a Regen skill, how should i go about in re-enabling that script?

help appreciated!

[Création]

The script works! Thanks!

Unfortunately, I can't get text to show up whenver the regeneration actually takes place.

I'm using "taikensen" battle script.

Would it be possible to have numbers pop up just like when you're attacking?

Not sure if I'm clear.

[The Frontera]

Great script ! Now someone would use the GUARD option !
Thanks !
