Immunity

[Rubymatt]

Well, yeah.  Not entirely what it sounds.  But it's in two parts.  The second part links to the first part really...

1 - The idea of RMXP not giving full immunity to a status ailment when an enemy has an "F" set for it is kind of irritating.  I've heard this asked before, though I could never make sense of the answers (Because I'm not that smart).  Thanks to anybody who can give me a good way to do this.

2 - Based from Final Fantasy 10.  I'm looking for a way to show an "Immunity" tag above the damage counter, showing that the enemy can't be inflicted with this ailment. 

Much appreciation.

1- What do you mean? When an enemy has "F" set, there's a 0% chance of getting a status ailment set on it-- basically, immunity.

2- I'm not really sure what you mean here. Do you mean, if an enemy has the status effect "Immunity" inflicted, you want it to have a 0% chance of getting other status effects?

No, I'll expand.

1 - I mean that Immunity "F" means that the enemy can NEVER be inflicted with the ailment.
2 - Did you ever play FFX?  Well, when an enemy couldn't have a status ailment inflicted on it, a tag saying "IMMUNE" appeared near where the attack's damage was displayed.

If what you mean is granting a temporary immunity to states:  In this case, modify the state_guard? method of Game_Enemy and Game_Actor.  The code below is untested, but place it in a new section just before the last one in the script editor.

class Game_Battler
#########################
  IMMUNITYSTATES={
    20=>[] # Prevents all states
    21=>[3,6] # Prevents states 3 and 6
  }
#########################
  def immune?(state)
   immstates=IMMUNITYSTATES
   for imm in immstates.keys
    if self.state?(imm)
     return true if immstates[imm].length==0
     return true if immstates[imm].include?(state)
    end
   end
   return false
  end
end
class Game_Enemy
  def state_guard?(state)
    return immune?(state)
  end
end
class Game_Actor
  alias petero_immunity_Game_Actor_state_guard? state_guard?
  def state_guard?(state)
    return true if immune?(state)
    return petero_immunity_Game_Actor_state_guard?(state)
  end
end

Ahh, I see. You mean you want a temporary 0% chance state, and after a few turns the state runs out and you aren't immune anymore. Try poccil's solution, it'll probably work.

You could try this old script I made for the "immune" part example:
http://www.gamebaker.com/rmxp/scripts/immunity-message.htm

It might be broken somehow though, I have it noted in my scripts to fix from a year ago. If you're using a critical text changing script it's simple as pie to set that text to being immune instead of the damage.

 

[Rubymatt]

@Sandgolem: Yeah that's what I was after.

@everybody else: When I searched up immunity on the forums, looking for the Immune tag script that Sandgolem gave me, I came up with one or two posts saying the F status in the database didn't completely make the enemy immune to a status ailment.  Is this true, or not?

If you use the Help tool in the database, it tells you:

A = 100%
B = 80%
C = 60%
D = 40%
E = 20%
F = 0%

So F should be completely immune.

Ah, thanks man. :D
