Changing An Actor's State Efficiency Mid-Game

[Sooth]

Hello folks,

How would I go about changing an actor's State Efficiency during the game? I'd like to call such a script in battles and use it to make a character's resistance to status effects fluctuate based on their stats: DEX, INT, etc.

Thanks for your time,

Well, I'd kind of need a bit more information in order to give you the best possible solution here.
Like, are you going to be simply modifying the basic state ranks based on their stats?
Or will you be determining them outright based on their states?
Or will you simply be changing the state ranks from time to time based on certain skills being used?

Either way, a good place to start might be to copy the state ranks out of the data_system and into the associated actors. You'd need to add a line like:

@state_ranks = $data_classes[@class_id].state_ranks

to the initialize method of Game_Actor.

Then change def state_ranks from:

def state_ranks

    return $data_classes[@class_id].state_ranks

  end

to:

def state_ranks

    return @state_ranks

  end

Then you could modify @state_ranks however you want. If you ever wanted to reset it to default, just reuse:

@state_ranks = $data_classes[@class_id].state_ranks

Anything more specific than that, though, and I'd need to have a better understanding of what you want to accomplish.

((Also, you may want to make sure $data_classes[@class_id].state_ranks isn't directly refrenced elsewhere in Game_Actor or Game_Battler.))

Actually, if I just knew what sort of script one would have to call to change an individual actor's State Effectiveness (for example: a script to change Actor 1's 'Poison' state effectiveness from C to D - which could be easily modified to indicate different actors, states, or ranks), I'd be fine from there. I'd have a Common Event check various values, and then run scripts to change actors' State Ranks based on them. Sorry that I wasn't clear.
