Change stats influences

[Etern]

Hey! ^_^
I currently working on a game. Duh...XD
Anyway, I was wondering whether it is possible to change the stuff the stats do. With that, I mean to have Dex be Def and influence MDEF and PDEF the same way Str influences ATK. And then have Ag do the stuff Dex is supposed to do, (Hit %)?

If I understand your question right, that's going to require scripting. Most of those formulas should be in the Game_Battler 3 class. You might be able to look at the formulas that are already there and figure out how to change them yourself. You might want to back up that class in case you accidentally mess things up a bit.

You can change a few names in the "System" part of your database, if I'm right. That will help you in some of the things you want. Not all, though. For the rest you will have to alter the formulas in the script, as the guy above me said.

This is fairly easy to do, just open your script editor. To change how something is defined, like PDEF, in your example, you'll need to also look in Game_Actor.
In there, scroll down to:
# * Get Basic Physical Defense
And below:

pdef5 = armor4 != nil ? armor4.pdef : 0

add in:

statboost = $data_actors[@actor_id].parameters[3, @level]

Parameters 3 is the characters base DEX. (0 is MHP, 1 is MSP, 2 is STR, 4 is AGL, 5 is INT)
Now replace:

return pdef1 + pdef2 + pdef3 + pdef4 + pdef5

with:

return pdef1 + pdef2 + pdef3 + pdef4 + pdef5 + statboost

EDIT: Or, if you want to ignore the PDEF bonuses from armour pieces, change it to just:

return statboost

You can do the same with MDEF. Just add a new definition that defines how DEX applies to MDEF, then add it to the final calculation (the return command)

As for changing what DEX does to make it AGLs job, you'll need to goto Game_Battler 3 and look at the combat algorithms. Find instances of attacker.dex , and change them to attacker.agi

Thank you so much! I will try it right now!
