{RPGMXP} Create a state which protects you from a certain type of attack

[Steel Beast 6Beets]

You can use bearcat's Absorb, Null, and Weak Armors script. Despite the name, it can also create states that absorb and nullify elements.

Code:

=begin
#=============================================================================
#  Absorb, Null, and Weak Armors
#=============================================================================
# Bearcat
# Version 1.01
# 8.16.07
#=============================================================================
This script allows you to make armors and states that absorb, nullify, or
make the wearer weak to elemental damage. To set up an an armor or state,
put the armor id and the element id in the appropriate hash in Absorb_Setup.

There is no need to modify anything other than the hashes in Absorb_Setup.

Free use, modification, and distribution permitted (commercial projects
included) so long as credit is given to me, Bearcat.

module Absorb_Setup

  # * Absorb Armors

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Absorb_Armors = {
  33 => [1]
  }
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Null Armors

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Weak Armors

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Weak_Armors = {
  33 => [3]
  }
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Absorb States

  }
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Weak States
  #   syntax state_id => [element1, element2...]
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Weak_States = {
  17 => [3]
  }
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Defaults DO NOT CHANGE
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Absorb_Armors.default = []
  Null_Armors.default = []
  Weak_Armors.default = []
  Absorb_States.default = []
  Null_States.default = []
  Weak_States.default = []
end

These two scripts are also necessary.

Code:

class Game_Actor
  def element_rate(element_id)
    absorb_flag = false
    # Get values corresponding to element effectiveness
    table = [0,200,150,100,50,0,-100]
    result = table[$data_classes[@class_id].element_ranks[element_id]]
    # Run Armor Stuff
    for i in [@armor1_id, @armor2_id, @armor3_id, @armor4_id]
      armor = $data_armors[i]
      # Halve damage if element is protected
      if armor != nil and armor.guard_element_set.include?(element_id)
        result /= 2
      end
      # Damage = 0 if element is nulled
      if armor != nil and armor.null_element_set.include?(element_id)
        result = 0
      end
      # Set flag to true if element is absorbed
      if armor != nil and armor.absorb_element_set.include?(element_id)
        absorb_flag = true
      end
      # Multiply damage if armor is weak to element
      if armor != nil and armor.weak_element_set.include?(element_id)
          result *= 2
      end
    end
    # Run State Stuff
    for i in @states
      # Halve damage if element is protected
      if $data_states[i].guard_element_set.include?(element_id)
        result /= 2
      end
      # Damage = 0 if element is nulled
      if $data_states[i].null_element_set.include?(element_id)
        result = 0
      end
      # Set flag to true if element is absorbed
      if $data_states[i].absorb_element_set.include?(element_id)
        absorb_flag = true
      end
      # Multiply damage if state is weak to element
      if $data_states[i].weak_element_set.include?(element_id)
        result *= 2
      end
    end
    # If absorb_flag = true, multiply by -1
    if absorb_flag
      result *= -1
    end
  # End Method
  return result
  end
end

class Game_Enemy
  def element_rate(element_id)
    # Get a numerical value corresponding to element effectiveness
    table = [0,200,150,100,50,0,-100]
    result = table[$data_enemies[@enemy_id].element_ranks[element_id]]
    for i in @states
      # Halve damage if element is protected
      if $data_states[i].guard_element_set.include?(element_id)
        result /= 2
      end
      # Damage = 0 if element is nulled
      if $data_states[i].null_element_set.include?(element_id)
        result = 0
      end
      # Set flag to true if element is absorbed
      if $data_states[i].absorb_element_set.include?(element_id)
        absorb_flag = true
      end
      # Multiply damage if state is weak to element
      if $data_states[i].weak_element_set.include?(element_id)
        result *= 2
      end
    end
    # If absorb_flag = true, multiply by -1
    if absorb_flag
      result *= -1
    end
    # End Method
    return result
  end
end
