Defend command during battles

Another question from super noob about scripting here :]
The 'Defend' command in battles.
Is there any way to change how powerful full it is?
Or is there any way you could make it that, when defending, if you get attacked, you lose abit of 'SP' instead?

Thanks in advance

Why would you post a topic tagged at RMVX, if you're using XP?

Yes, it's possible. In game_battler3, look in the attack_effect and skill_effect sections. Look for this section:

        # Guard correction
        if self.guarding?
          self.damage /= 2
        end

(there's also some other stuff on the if line for the one in skills)

Change the damage modifier there.

Making it an SP loss instead is a bit more complicated.

Try this:

First, delete the sections I posted above.

Find in both of them, this code:

last_hp = self.hp
      self.hp -= self.damage
      effective |= self.hp != last_hp

And replace it with:

	if self.guarding?
		last_sp = self.sp
	    self.damage /= 10
		self.sp -= self.damage
		effective |= self.sp != last_sp
	else
		last_hp = self.hp
		self.hp -= self.damage
		effective |= self.hp != last_hp
	end

Remove the self.damage /= 10 line if you don't want the damage to be less when it hits SP.
