How to make a skill take off a certain % of current hp

[Sepharius]

I know how to make a skill that damages a percentage of the characters max hp but I don't know how to damage their current hp.

For example, if a character had 1000/9999 hp and I used a skill that damages 50%, I want it to damage the current hp by 50% so it makes it 500/9999.

The script for damaging percent of max hp is this:
for i in $game_party.actors
i.hp = i.maxhp/2
end


Also can someone tell me how to change the damage limit cap from 99,999 to 9999?

wouldn't it be:
i.hp = i.hp/2

just a guess i got

There's a "damage limit cap?" (looking for it in the scripts...)

By my calculation, the max damage for a skill would be...

8,825,560

That's if the user's stats are maxed out, and the target has no defense, with an element efficiency of 200% & a variance of 100%

why dont you set a temp integer variable and minus it?
in theory just set TempInt = Actor HP
Set TempInt = TempInt / 2
Change HP Actor - TempInt...
