CTB - A Final Fantasy X-like Battle System, Version 3.2

[andicesharks]

Hey Charlie. A couple of questions...

What does the Rigene effect do in your system? I'm a bit stumped. Is it a regeneration - +15% health?

I'm really trying to incorporate damage and healing over time for hp and sp.

I don't like the default rmxp system at all of taking away a percentage. If you happen to be fighting enemies that are your level, that is probably fine. If you're in a boss fight with something that has many more hp, the effect would be much more powerful and that just is not very intuitive.

I'd love to be able to actually create calculations based on your new ones to have things like int be incorporated into how much damage is delt per turn but I lack the coding knowledge. I'd be fine settling for just an exact amount that a spell/state will take off per turn. I've looked through and have only found one script that could possibly do this.....

    #  * STATE_NUMBER is the state you want to be affected by this.
    #  * TYPE refers to the thing sustaining damage.
    #      1 = HP, 2 = SP. If the type is positive, the amount is a literal
    #      number (eg. You lose about 50 HP). If the type is negative, then
    #      the amount is a fraction of the maximum (eg. You lose about 50% of
    #      your HP).
    #  * DAMAGE refers to how much damage is healed/taken.
    #      A Positive amount hurts you and a negative amount heals you.
    #  * VARIANCE refers to how much the damage varies. Positive only.
    #      This depends in part on if the type was positive (~5 HP difference)
    #      or negative (~5% HP difference).
    #  * LIMIT_DRAIN refers to if the poison can leave you with 0 HP/SP.

Unfortunately it does not seem to work with the battle system... or at least I have not been able to get it to(It just acts as if it is not there and slip damage works as usual). I was curious to know if you could give it a quick look and see if it specifically conflicts with anything in your system?

Also, do you just happen to have any thoughts or ideas on a better system for regeneration/damage over time or know of a script that you enjoy using or have experience with?

Any kind of information you could give about these types of effects with your battle system would be much appreciated!!
