"Judo Toss" Skill Script

[Conners]

I'm attempting to have a "Judo Toss" attack for one of the enemies (and possibly an actor you can gain too).

What I want to do with this script is: The character using the ability gets into a defensive stance, their defence and agility increased.
After receiving/dodging the next physical enemy attack, they counter said enemy and inflict damage equal to or greater than the attack--it doesn't matter how much damage they actually do to the countering-character, it would be dependant on how much Attack Power there was in the attack (so if the enemy had high attack but low defence and hit points, they'd be pretty had-it...).
You can't make any action while in the Judo Toss state, but it only lasts for 1 (or 2) turns. The state ends when 1 (or 2) turns pass, or when you counter an enemy--whichever comes first.

I tried to do this with a common event which changes the character's state.... but I hit some snags. The main one is that I can't work out how to have the character counter their attacker specifically... even if I could, I don't know how to restrict the counter to physical attacks.

Can someone please help me make this skill?

Thanks to anyone who helps me with this. I'll give credit appropriately.

So, if I get this straight, then you want a 'state' that lasts for a certain amount of turns but vanishes once one has been physically attacked. During this state all physical damage to the player isn't really reduced to zero but rather thrown onto the attacker?

Meaning the 'tossers' states (atk, def and so on) do not count within the damage formular but rather the 'tossed' as if hitting itself? Or do I missunderstand something here?

Well, I'm not sure whether I'm capabal of doing this but I'll give it a try.

You take the damage (with a boosted Physical Defence, I might add) but your opponent also gets that same attack on them (so it's bad for them if they had a Higg Attack, but a low Defence). You got it down pretty well, I know it's confusing... x_x

Yep, you got it pretty well. Like in judo, you use your opponent's strength against them (your own stats MIGHT have some effect, that really depends on if that's simpler or harder to do, though).

Thanks very much :D. I'll write down your name in the credits once you post the working script (if you want a different name than your username, say so ).

Okay, so the little script I worked out so far does not work at all...
But I'm not giving up yet! I'll ask someone for help!

Please be patient a little longer

OK. Thanks very much for your work !!

*Bump* I guess I'll bump this thread since it's been a while.

 

[Conners]

*Bump* might as well Bump again...

 

[Conners]

....Bump. I wonder if Vivatus is still working on the script...

 

[Conners]

*Bump* It appears Vivi has given up on the project. Would anyone else like to take a shot?

 

[Conners]

*Bump* Can anyone think of a compromise I could undergo to get this working...?
