DoubleX RMVXA Permanent States

[DoubleX]

DoubleX RMVXA Permanent States
Version: v1.00c

Introduction

A battler's states are cleared if a he/she/it dies in the default setting. This is hardcoded and can only be edited via scripting.
With this script, users can set specific states to be always added back automatically upon battlers' revival. These states may be regarded as permanent states.

Features

* Use of notetags(requires knowledge of notetag usage) to set specific states to be permanent states
* A way to set all states to be permanent states without using notetags(and ignoring them)
