XRXS No38 - Element Correction

Site: (http://sboox.hp.infoseek.co.jp/xp/)

Introduction
This sciptlet configures the element_correct method in Game_Battler3, which affects the method in which the elemental multiplier is calculated and applied to the battler's damage, as well as limiting the element list in the database so that 'special elements' - ones that shouldn't affect the skill's damage, don't.

Screenshots
  • Level 99 Aluxes is using a skill that has the properties Fire and vs. Aquatic.
  • The Sahagin has a defense level of F (-100% DMG) against Fire and of A (200% DMG) against Aquatic.
  • Goes in order from method 0 to method 3 of calculation.

# * FUNCTION
#   Configures the element_correct method in Game_Battler3,
#   which affects the method in which the elemental multiplier
#   is calculated and applied to the battler's damage, as well
#   as limiting the element list in the database so that
#   'special elements' - ones that shouldn't affect the skill's
#   damage, don't.

module XRXS38
  #=========================================================================
  # Establish Elements
  #-------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # Number of initial elements, eg. fire, ice, wind, water, etc. in the
  # database.  This counts from the first (usually fire) to the number
  # entered below.  In this case, only elements 1-16 are calculated.
  #=========================================================================
  ELEMENTS_NUMBER_LIMIT = 16
  #=========================================================================
  # Determine element correct method.
  #-------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # The Sahagin used in the example is weak against vsAquatic (200% dmg)
  # and absorbs Fire (-100% dmg).  
  #-------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # 0: ?STRONGEST (RGSS Default)
  #     Only the strongest element applies.
  #     EX:  Fire/vsAquatic vs. Sahagin => 200% dmg
  # 1:  MULTIPLICATION
  #     All elements are included in the calculation.
  #     EX:  Fire/vsAquatic vs. Sahagin => -200% dmg
  # 2:  AVERAGE
  #     Average power of elements are used in the calculation.
  #     EX:  Fire/vsAquatic vs. Sahagin => 50% dmg
  # 3:  WEAKEST
  #     Only the weakest element applies.
  #     EX:  Fire/vsAquatic vs. Sahagin => -100% dmg
  #=========================================================================
  ELEMENT_CORRECT_METHOD = 2
