Question (I feel stupid, lol)

[BellGoRiiing]

I know what the obvious ones stand for like HP/SP and Defense and Attack...but then there's dexterity, strength, and all that. And for the weapons there's variance and um....ok you know what? Where can I go to see what all this stuff does? Because when I'm creating new characters/enemies for my game I don't know what some of that stuff even does and I'm just putting in some random number...>_>

Thanks guys.

Right click on whatever you don't understand, and a "What's this?" option will appear. 

EDIT: I just double-checked, and the "What's this?" option tells you exactly what they do.

...I uh, knew that...>_>

Also you can check inside the readme of RMXP. There's a section under RPG Maker XP called Battle Calculations. Even then I'll admit the calculations are somewhat hard to understand. It looks like variance is just a modifier applied to the final damage. And variance depends upon whether a skill, normal attack, or item is used. I hope that helps even a little.

Good luck with it BellGoRiiing! :thumb:

Okay, if you know what they do, then just screw around with them a bit.  You'll get the hang of it.

I was scratching my head for a while on the battle formulas...

In the main equation,

Damage = force × multiplier...............

force = Power
multiplier = Rate

Second Hit = Evade

hope that helps

 

[BellGoRiiing]

Yeah same....and it still does, it will take me a while until I fully understand it.
EDIT: Ok I'm changing the subject here, lol. With the battler graphics (not the enemies, but the player), how do you move it down a tad bit during battles? It may be just that I need to reduce the size of it...>_>

 

[AbyssalLord]

I believe that you would do that via script.

Wait... can't you just drag the enemies in the "Troops" tab lower, higher, to the left, etc.?

 

[BellGoRiiing]

Not the enemies, the heroes...It may just be the size of the graphic, I'm going to try and make it smaller.

Ahh, sorry I misread the question. Try comparing your battler to the default ones for the size.
