Illutian Playa's Questions

[Illutian Playa]

I figured that I would have a bunch of questions so I decided to post them all in one thread. I may be an intermediate RPG Maker 2er but it doesn't mean I can't have questions! Ok, first question on this thread:

I'm am attempting to create a script that will lower armor by 25% in battle. This is for a spell. The trouble is actually trying to lower the armor! I used an enemy with 9999hp and 300Defend(aka 300Armor) and everything else at 0. I tested attacks on it with the hero of the game and I had no items on. He had 402 Strength. My average hits were around 330hp to 410hp. The next test, I took off 25% of the enemies defend so it had only 225. Now on this test, all was same but the enemy defense. I did around 380-450damage this time. Now as for the script that lower armor, I copied the fu-ma script straight down to the pixel(except for the dialouge). Now, when i attack the enemy, i gave it back 300defend and tried the armor weaking spell. It "worked" and so I attacked and yet, it still did around 330-410hp instead of 280-300. Could I just possibly set the script so it had only dialouge, the script branch condition, and this command:
Data Variable: Armor= Armor x 25
Data Variable: Armor= Armor / 100 (/ = divide)

and from there, the terminate command can contain this:
Data Variable: Armor= Armor x 100
Data Variable: Armor= Armor / 25

Or does anyone know how to make one that works?

Re: Illutian Playa's Questions

Try this:

Var A = Armor / 25 (to get 25% of Armors value)
Armor = Armor + Var A(To strengthen by 25%)

or

Var A = Armor / 25 (to get 25% of Armors value)
Armor = Armor - Var A(To weaken by 25%)

then to set it back just do the opposing coding of the one you used

I havent played RPG2 so I dont know if this is possible, but this is an alternate way of adding/subtracting percentages that I find easier then using 100's and multiplying

Re: Illutian Playa's Questions

thanks but it wouldn't truly matter to me, All i need answered is how to make a script that DOES subtract Enemy Armor by 25%.I can't quite get it to work.

Re: Illutian Playa's Questions

Var A = Armor / 25 (to get 25% of Armors value)
Armor = Armor - Var A

use that to subtract it then, or maybe Im not getting the question...I dont know...I tried

Re: Illutian Playa's Questions

Data: Target Info Load
Data: Armor=Armor*3
Data: Armor=Armor/4
Data: Target Info Save

For the recovery script, use:

Data: Target Info Load
Data: Armor=Armor*4
Data: Armor=Armor/3
Data: Target Info Save

Re: Illutian Playa's Questions

Re: Illutian Playa's Questions

If it doesn't work, it's because I haven't used RPGM2 in a few months. However, if it won't work, I'll try to fix it.

EDIT: Post number 777.

Re: Illutian Playa's Questions

Well, it didn't work ,but I decided to use the sample one x.x lol, it just looked complicated xD.
Next question, Anybody know how to set up a trait script that has a 100%chance of using normal attack BUT if it the monster is under 10% HP, Then they have a 35% chance of using their speical ability. For the 10% thing, its a trait script so I'd have to load the monster's hp and make a sbc that checks if its exactly at the 10% point or under. Ex. If the monster had 50hp, I would check to see if it had 5 or less hps. Anyone know how to set up this script??
