Power Word: Shield

Power Word: Shield Status Effect
Version: 1.0

Introduction

This script allows you to use the Power Word: Shield status. For those of you who never played WoW, the shield absorbs some damage before it goes away.

Features

• Absorb Damage, including poisons.
• Configure how much damage you want the shield to absorb.

Screenshots

Imagine the actor has a status effect called power word shield. Now imagine he takes no damage.

Script and Demo

Instructions

Add the script under the SDK. Then you'll need to make a new state and change the PWS_ID in the script to the ID of the effect. Then make the skills and whatnot so you can use the new effect

Also, keep in mind, the shield is NOT meant to be dispelled, so any dispel effects will probably screw the system up a bit.

Compatibility

This seems incredibly useful. As soon as I get my Dell back, I'll put it in my game and play around a bit with it. ^_^

Really, though, awesome idea. I can see a ton of uses for this, especially for people who want a new sort of skill that'll do more than just raise P or MDEF.

This is a great script that everyone will use!

I just wanted to say it's nice seeing someone using the SDK alias/overwrite logging commands.

  alias pws_add_state add_state
  SDK.log_alias(:Game_Battler, :add_state, :pws_add_state)

The SDK aliases are logged automatically at the same time as the alias if you use it like this:

alias_method :pws_add_state, :add_state

Thanks for the tip sandgolem.

Also, if someone has a compatibility issue, feel free to post it and I'll try to get it working

I was looking for something like this a while ago. Very nice work.

Hey is this compatible with XAS?(An ABS)

 

[The_Falcon]

You think something made for the default battle system will work with an ABS?

I probably won't make it compatible with an ABS, but you're welcome to post it and I'll take a look at it.
