Highest stat

[Lone Phantom]

Does anyone know what the highest number of stats is in Rpgmaker 3,
because I am sick and tired of 999 hp, is it at least 9999?

Re: Highest stat

I do not know about RGPM3, but in RPGM2 you can get around the 999 HP limit (for enemies) by setting conditions based on the total HP such that when they go below a set number, you add 999 HP and trip a flag so it does not happen again. You can nest as many flags as you like and make HP as high as you want.

I am unsure how to do this for the party, but it must be possible.

Re: Highest stat

Sorry to double post (the old "no-edit-button" problem.

But...

Oops.

It would be easier on the memory to use a variable instead of nested flags.

And looking at the preview pictures the HP limit in RPGM3 has indeed been raised.

1: Hitpoints appear to go to at least 9999 now.
2: Statistically, 999 HP can be almost the same as 9999 HP if you scale it back.

Re: Highest stat

Instead of doing 1000 damage, you do 100. Instead of 30, you'd do 3. It's not hard, and it's not at all weird. I just never understood the necessity to have 9999 over 999 when the damage you take at all times is going to be equal in a ratio perspective.

The only difference is fighting huge bosses with mega-colossal HP levels. And even then, if it's planned properly, there's no need to make them have a million HP when you can only have 10,000. It should be about strategy of the fight, not about strategy of keeping yourself alive along enough to dole out that many redundant attacks.

Re: Highest stat

phantom, please pay attention to things before asking questions. so far, every question you've asked can be answered just by looking at the screenshots we have.

Big numbers are just cooler in a way. When you cause over 1000 damage on an enemy, it makes you think "Wow, I'm really powerful." Cause 100 damage, and it's not nearly as big a deal.

Re: Highest stat

Like Dungeon Warden said a while back, if stats are at the right scale, everything can be relative. 100 damage can be a big deal if most enemies go down after 300 HP of damage. Like BRC said above, a battle should be more about strategy(how am I gonna defeat this guy?), not how much damage you can do(OMG LIEK HOW MANY N00MBERS CAN I MAKE ON TEH SKREEN!!!111???).

There's truth to what everyone's said so far.

I've heard that that type of logic was why hockey and soccer were expected to never be popular in America. Americans like big scores and big numbers where as they wouldn't enjoy a game as much if the final scores were 1-0 most of the time. But if that were really true then tennis would be more popular than football, lol.

I do agree with Phantom(holy God, it's a miracle! ) in that I'd like to see bigger numbers sometime. I just like the bigger numbers, don't ask why, I just do. I'd wanna see HP levels go over 10k too(like in Valkyrie Profile)... and monster HP over 100k is good too.

Re: Highest stat

Maybe I'm just a minimalist because of all the years of playing Shining Force.

HP rarely goes over 100 in those games.
