In addition to the skill tree in my other thread, I am trying to spice up my battle mechanics for my project.
I am currently working on the second actor, which is a priest.
For this actor, I am looking for a script that can allow skills/states to create a bubble shield, similar to WoW.
Example:
Priest casts bubble shield on actor 1.
Actor will negate 300 damage (or a different amount) before the shield runs out and his HP will be damaged.
I have found multiple scripts that could help me do this, like KStates from Kyonides and Passive Augments from Xelias.
However, both are pretty big with a lot of options and I was looking for something lightweight.
I found one in this thread that does exactly what I am looking for: https://save-point.org/thread-771.html?highlight=absorb
But when I test it, the numbers don't match up.
The damage shown does not add up to the amount of the bubble and even when it pops,
the actor's HP goes down by an amount that is different from the damage shown.
Demo link for the script: https://gofile.io/?c=1IGLR9
I hope someone can help me out with this.

Bump.
Can anyone help me with this?
I'm willing to pay 5 euros for a functional script.

I looked around a bit and found this.
I haven't tested it but maybe it works for you?

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# The_Falcon

#==============================================================================
# This script overwrites the following methods:

# This script aliases the following methods:

# Game Battler : initialize , add_state
#==============================================================================
#How to use:
#
#Add the script under the SDK. Then you'll need to make a new state and change the PWS_ID #in the script to the ID of the effect. Then make the skills and whatnot so you can use the #new effect goofy
#Also, keep in mind, the shield is NOT meant to be dispelled, so any dispel effects will #probably screw the system up a bit.

It has content designed for the RMXP SDK. If you're using it, you're fine. If not.... well, you're still fine. You'll just need to remove the statements that have 'SDK.' in them like
Code: if SDK.enabled?('Power Word: Shield Status Effect')
And you'll need to remove the last 'end' statement as the sample SDK line I mentioned is the start of an IF block.

Nice! Thank you both.
I don't use SDK, so I'm glad that you mentioned, VVulf.
I will test the script today or tomorrow and let you know about the results

Okay, I did some testing and the script works great by itself!
The numbers for the shield seem to add up now and the "absorbed" message is neat.
However, I have three more questions 
First of all, I would like to make at least 2 different shield skills (preferably more) with different values.
Is it possible to turn the state id and shield value into an array?
Also, if I want to use fixed values for the shield, rather than % of maxhp, is the following replacement for line 63 correct?
Code: @pws_hp = PWS_PERCENT
Finally, the following script is the only one I'm using that seems to conflict with this one.

# missed (usually 'Miss')
#
# Notes:
#
# A magical skill is considered a skill that has a either INT-F greater than

I am getting the error "wrong number of arguments (3 for 2)" in this part of the Reflection script:
Code: # for each target
targets.each {|target|
# get damage
dam = (target.damage.is_a?(Numeric) ? target.damage : 0)
# execute skill and override reflection
target.skill_effect(battler, skill, true) # This line <------
# add damage if already damaged
target.damage += dam if target.damage.is_a?(Numeric)
# set hit animation if not missed
target.animation_hit = (target.damage != MISS_DAMAGE)}
Is this easily fixable? If not, I will use the PWS script over the reflection one.

To fix your 'compatability' issue between it and Blizzard's script, allow moi to go about a little teaching. 
There are two ways to add new material to a method in Ruby Scripting. You either rewrite the whole method or you use the 'alias' technique which allows you to append new material without the need of rewriting the whole method.
The first method, the one where you rewrite a method, is destructive. For example, if you have two scripts that alter the 'attack_battler' method, and the last script in your list rewrites the method.... erm, all the prior ones are overwritten and ignored. A rewrite of the method is not preferred, but sometimes it is the only way to achieve what is desired.
The second method, the one using the alias techinique, is additive. For example, if you have two scripts that alter the 'attack_battler' method, and the last script in your list aliases new content.... Well, that material from the previous script is still present and the new aliased content joins it! It is more preferred, but can be prone to crashing if the script's author didn't take stack overflow into consideration. A rarity, but certain authors do ignore it.
NOW.... About the two scripts.
The one that Melana supplied rewrites the 'attack_effect' and 'skill_effect' methods as well as the 'slip_damage_effect' method. You can find these in the original code just by looking for the 'SDK.overwrite' statements. So this uses the first method of scripting, the rewrite method technique.
The second one, the one by blizzard, uses the alias technique upon the 'skill_effect' method. This is the more preferred technique and should be placed after the first. In fact, if you have any other script that alters 'skill_effect', this script should be last in the list. Why? Because blizzard added extra parameters into his 'skill_effect' call.
Normally, the skill_effect looks like this:
def skill_effect(user, skill)
Blizzard's variation looks like this:
def skill_effect(user, skill, override_reflect = !$scene.is_a?(Scene_Battle))
He added a new 'override_reflect' parameter that changes how things work. And any other script that aliases 'skill_effect' and gets posted after this will have the "wrong number of arguments (3 for 2)" error.
And I take it that your edit is to this?
Code: if state_id == PWS_ID
@pws_hp = Integer(self.maxhp * PWS_PERCENT)
end
So... PWS_PERCENT will then be a fixed value for all shields or whatever it is. Sounds right, but I haven't examined the script. I'm just looking at it while working on forum stuff.

Thanks for the explanation. When I put the PWS script in front of Blizzard's, there seems to be no problem.
Now it need to figure out if all my other combat add-on scripts are compatible.
Then I will try and (hopefully) adjust the script for it to manage multiple state id's.
But first, some sleep.

Alright. I finished testing my combat add-on scripts for compatibility.
I had to fix some bugs (which weren't even compatibility related) and it seems that the scripts I am using are not in conflict with each other.
Most likely I won't add any more scripts other than the ones I have now, so I can finally focus on database, mapping, eventing, etc.
Anyway, I am still looking for someone who can help me with my earlier request:
Editing the PWS script so that I can use multiple shields / state id's.
Like I said before; I am willing to pay if a lot of effort is involved.
