SP Damage help

[DerVVulfman]

So... where the heck is that coming from. It isn't in the script I just sent you, nor is it in either the SP DAMAGE or DAMAGE POP scripts?

My only explanation is that you somehow hit 'space' at some point and turned
dvv_sp_damage_pop
into
dvv_sp_damage_p op

Do a search throughout all three for dvv_sp_damage_p and see if there is such a space.

I searched on all the scripts and I couldn't find any misspelling or typo. I tried putting the HP Drain script below these previously mentioned scripts yet the error persisted. I also noticed you could drain SP from enemies that don't have any SP (The error shows up when trying to add that amount of SP to the character's SP). Perhaps that has something to do with the error?

I found another thing: when copying and pasting the common event call, it gets twisted into this:

Code:

absorb = $game_temp.sp_damage_hook * -1
$scene.active_battler.dvv_sp_damage_p
op = absorb
$scene.active_battler.dvv_sp_damage_p
op=true
$scene.active_battler.sp -= absorb

The codes are just too long for the script window.

For the record, there are the three scripts:

# ** Simple SP Bonus Damage
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# by DerVVulfman
# version 1.3
# 04-28-2012
# RGSS / RMXP
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# INTRODUCTION:
#
# This lets you apply bonus SP (or MP) damage to an attack. As an option,
# you can make skills deliver only SP damage to a target. In any event, the
# amount of SP damage is a portion based on the what you set in the system.
#
# There is no damage pop for this effect. However, two values of dvv_sp_damage
# and dvv_sp_damage_pop have been included within the Game_Battler class if
# the user wishes to add a compatible SP Damage Pop script.
#
# NOTE: Yes, the two values could merely have been named 'sp_damage' and
# 'sp_damage_pop', but these have been used in Charlie Fleed's CTB.
#
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# COMPATABILITY:
#
# Designed for the RPGMaker XP system and to work with the default battlesys-
# tem and Charlie Fleed's CTB. However, Charlie Fleed's CTB has its own ver-
# sion of an SP-Only damage system so the 'NO_HP_DAMAGE_TAG' isn't required.
#
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# TERMS AND CONDITIONS:
#
# Free to use, even in commercial projects. Just note that I need some form
# of due credit, and due credit to AGAFURO who requested this feature.

# SP DAMAGE TAG
# Tag your skill(s) with an element that applies SP damage.
# If you set it to '1', then Fire Element skills (as an example) would
# give SP Damage.
DAMAGE_TAG = 11


# NO HP DAMAGE TAG
# Tag your skill(s) with an element that doesn't apply HP damage. This way
# you can have skills that affect a target's SP points exclusively. It needs
# you to tag a skill with the SP DAMAGE TAG (see above).
# If you set it to '3', then Thunder Element skills (as an example) would
# not deliver HP Damage, and gives only SP damage
NO_HP_DAMAGE_TAG = 12


# SP DAMAGE CHANGE
# Calculates how much of the damage is applied towards SP damage.
# As an example, it would give 1/5th damage if set to '5'.

#
# INTRODUCTION:
#
# This is a damage pop script that works with DerVVulfman's "Simple SP Bonus
# Damage" script, letting the user create a damage pop for SP damage. It can
# work with battlesystems that are based on the default battlesystem, but has
# been adapated to work with Charlie Fleed's CTB and has some configurables
# for his battlesystem alone.
#
# NOTE: Charlie Fleed's Damage Pops have no fontname set. If you wish to
# make it match, set the SP_DAMAGE_FONTNAME to nil. ^_^
#
# IMPORTANT: Place below most scripts as it not only aliases, but places a
# stack error code into the affected methods that typically stops
# new code from being added... a sideeffect of the F12 stack fix.

I searched on all the scripts and I couldn't find any misspelling or typo. I tried putting the HP Drain script below these previously mentioned scripts yet the error persisted.....

I found another thing: when copying and pasting the common event call, it gets twisted into this:

Code:

absorb = $game_temp.sp_damage_hook * -1
$scene.active_battler.dvv_sp_damage_p
op = absorb
$scene.active_battler.dvv_sp_damage_p
op=true
$scene.active_battler.sp -= absorb

The codes are just too long for the script window.

There ya go. Too long, they get cut off and VOLIA, your dvv_sp_damage_p

Try using this in your common event:

Code:

absorb = $game_temp.sp_damage_hook * -1
$scene.active_battler.
dvv_sp_damage_pop = absorb
$scene.active_battler.
dvv_sp_damage_pop=true
$scene.active_battler.sp -= absorb

You can have a line break after the period (.)

I also noticed you could drain SP from enemies that don't have any SP (The error shows up when trying to add that amount of SP to the character's SP). Perhaps that has something to do with the error?

Er... no. But a sp checking feature could be put into the system:

Code:

# Set hook to damage
    if self.dvv_sp_damage.is_a?(Numeric)
      sp = self.sp - self.dvv_sp_damage
      # Only if SP remaining
      if sp > 0
        $game_temp.sp_damage_hook += self.dvv_sp_damage
      end
    end

I tested it and everything works as intended. A thousand thanks!
