Help creating a 'mute/silenced' state

[Veral42]

I've been trying to figure this out for a while, but haven't been able to notice any pattern. I created a 'state' that's called mute which is intended to block and enhancement, damage, debuff, and healing spells (ex: Heal, Fireball, Shield, etc...) but not skills that I want deemed "physical" skills (ex: Feint, Crushing Blow, etc...). However, I made this state using the 'state' option in the database and setting it with the "Restriction: Can't use magic" but that doesn't seem to have any clear definition on what it restricts for each class (ex: Crushing Blow and Fireball are blocked but Heal and Rock Blast are uneffected). Does anyone have any idea how RPG Maker XP defines a skill as either "Magic" or "non-Magic" so that I can fix this problem?

hmm...Well this is a guess, but from looking at the skills tab, magic has an element associated with it. If you look at heal for example, it doesn't have any elements with it, but if you look at Greater Fire, then you see it has the fire element. Try adding an element to your skills that aren't blocked and see if that fixes them.

Hope this helps!

In order for them to be considered "physical" skills, and therefore not restricted by "silence", the skill must have an ATK-F(attack influence) of at least 1, otherwise it's considered "magical"

That's what I thought it might be at first as well, but when I did a battle test and waited till all the characters had the 'muts' state one of my character's had the following skills blocked as well:

Concussive Slam:
Power: 30
ATK-F: 75
EVA-F: 100
STR-F: 75

Cleave:
Power: 10
ATK-F: 60
EVA-F: 60
STR-F: 50

I tried to see if it had anything to do with whether or not skills had any magical defense paramater, but it didn't seem to make a difference either when deciding what to disallow.

Check so that the skills are usable without silence. There could be another factor disabling them such as not having the SP needed. Failing that, you could take a screenshot of the skill and post it here.

Alright, I'll do a bit more work with it and if I keep having trouble with it then I'll screenshot it and post it up. Thanks for the ideas.

In order for the skill to be silenced I believe the "Spirit F:" field must be greater than 0. I've been having this problem as well and this seems to have fixed it for me.
