Restoring SP by defending-- how do I do this?

[Unka Josh]

I'm creating a battle system where all actions cost SP, and I want defending to restore SP.  How would I write a script to restore, say, 20% of the character's SP by defending?  I'm afraid I suck too much at scripting to figure this one out on my own.

Thanks very much for the help!

I can't write up a code for you now, but I'll give you a basis:

@actor_sp = $game_party.actors[0].sp
percent = @actor_sp/20.to_f

$game_party.actors[0].sp += percent

Obviously that won't work, but it should give you an idea of how to do it.

I appreciate the help, but I really suck at scripting-- I could manage to remove "Attack" from the menu, and I was able to turn the battlers side view, but that's about it.  I'm afraid that I probably won't be able to figure it out from that alone. 

Can anyone expand on that a bit?  Please?  I'm sorry that I suck at this...

There's a constant at the top you might want to adjust if 20% is too high or low.

@AbyssalLord: You were so close. But the percentage of sp should based on maximum sp. Not the current sp. Imagine having 1 point in SP and taking 20% of it.

That does the job!  Thank you very much for the help!

edit:  Uh, one other thing-- is there a way to loose the decimal points that show up?  I can't just add .trunc to active_battler.sp, as it turns out.

Uh change line 56 in that little scriplet:

@active_battler.sp += @active_battler.maxsp * 0.2

to this:

@active_battler.sp += (@active_battler.maxsp * 0.2).to_i

I didn't think it would allow SP to become a float. My apology

 

[Unka Josh]

Thank you once again.

...I really need to learn to script for real.  Unfortunately, that's not going to happen until after Anime Central...

Oops, that was a stupid mistake...I need to start getting some more sleep.  By the way, khmp, nice avatar.
