Ekuipment's Skill Damage ACE
Intended for Custom Damage Formulae
Intended for Custom Damage Formulae
by Kyonides
Introduction
This scriptlet allows you to alter your item's or skill's damage formula in some interesting way, by setting a custom note in the equipment's notebox, and a target statistic that will serve as some item or skill damage modifier.
NOTES:
If the target battler is an enemy, it has to include a given note tag in its notebox or else it will return 0. The note tag could be anything like <has weapon> or <wields sickle> or anything else.
You can pass either a :symbol representing a stat OR a number as the second parameter.
Instructions
- First you'd have to include this scriptlet in your script editor as a brand new script.
- Then read the embedded comments in my script. They're right there for a darn good reason!
- Finally, you can use the new script call in your damage formulae at will.
Here I'll leave the same example I included in those comments.
Code:
b.atk - b.equip_skill_dmg("<weakened>", :atk)
b.matk - b.equip_skill_dmg("<test>", :mdef, 25)Here I gotta admit that the first example would always return 0 as your the skill damage for an obvious reason, he, he.
You may have noticed
that it does not include a third argument like the second example does. What it means is that it gets the default value (100%) instead. The Script

Script Update!
After reviewing the early versions of this script I noticed that it was a good idea to let the game developer to not just pick a given note in the skill's or item's notebox but also a stat AND a specific percentage of that stat as skill damage.
This allows the skill's or item's damage formula to be quite skill-specific instead of totally equipment-focused so to say.
Keep in mind that VX ACE threats items and skills pretty much the same way, even if they're different
Ruby objects.
