[RESOLVED]Enemy stat changes

[darkcieran]

i've been trying to change the hp of a monster using a call script event and it works. but it only does it when the monster attacks or the hero attacks it, not automatically what i've been using is $data_enemies[1].maxhp += 11. am i missing something?

what i'm basically going for is automatically change the monster's maxhp thru an event

You never want to modify $data_enemies, unless you really really know what you are doing. If you are simply trying to change an enemies maxhp, or hp, use:

$game_troop.enemies[index].maxhp=n
$game_troop.enemies[index].hp=n


Also have to remember, windows and script addons are usually only set to "redraw" at specific moments. If you are wanting the damage to be displayed, you would need to also add:
$game_troop.enemies[index].damage = n
$game_troop.enemies[index].damage_pop = true


Hope that helps a little. If you still need help, care to explain exactly what you are doing? Might be able to help you even more. :thumb:

here's the situation: what i'm trying to do is change them automatically either thru a common event or battle event. '$game_troop.enemies[index].maxhp=n' and '$game_troop.enemies[index].hp=n' only just change these values to 'n'(i.e 11) but it doesn't add or subtract a number to it. for some reason these values only get changed (+ 0r -)when the enemy attacks or is damaged.

thats my problem.

Where are you putting this little script? In an event, common event or big script? This is also important, cause you may need to put "Autorun" if its an event (tool event like in ABS action systems). Other than that I cannot help I am sorry. You should use the mannual mode in eventlist!

EDIT: i see you describe that its in BATTLE EVENT or COMMON EVENT. Read the above text and put it under Common! If you want to call a script you can aslo put other fun stuff into the common event you call!

i appreciate the thought. but that won't help me.

I am sorry^^ Good Luck with your request!

+= instead of =

They do change, you just probably on see it. Try adding:

$scene.update_phase4_step5

I'm not exactly 100% sure what that will do, but that forces the $scene to go to that method where damage is displayed (believe its step5, I didn't bother opening RMXP to check lol)

@Sephiroth that got me an error. this error actually:

i've been using '+=' that's where the problem arises

Ah. Of course @taget_battlers hasn't been defined yet.

Could you make a demo of your project and you common event, and I'll test it further.
