DoubleX RMVXA Substitute Edit

[DoubleX]

DoubleX RMVXA Substitute Edit
Version: v1.01b

Introduction

In the default setting, if more than one battler in the same side have the substitute flag, the one with the lowest id(the leftmost one) will always do the job, even if his/her/its hp isn't the highest among them all.
With this script, it's the one with the highest hp that'll always do the job, thus increasing the effectiveness of the substitute flag if more than one battler in the same side have it.
(v1.00b+)Substitute flag applies to magic reflection and counterattack as well.
(v1.00d+)Battlers resisting state with death_state_id take the substitute role.

Features

* Plug and play(You don't need to edit anything in this script but you may still do so)

Screenshots

Believe it or not, in the following 2 screenshots, Eric, Terence and Ernest have substitute flag while Isabelle doesn't.
