Setting a damage cap

[NBEOTM]

I'm currently using hydros battle algorithms to make my game's damage system the same as final fantasy X's. However I have hit a wall, with characters being able to do over 9999, which I do not want.

So here is the request, to set it so regular attacks can do 9999 maximum. And so skills can only do 9999 maximum. However I want certain weapons to be able to do over this amount, same with certain skills. Through element tagging would be awesome.(I.E if the weapon has element 17 set, then it can do more than 9999 damage, or if the skill has element 17 set it can do more than 9999 damage.

Here are Hyros algorithms if it helps

regular attacks

atk = (((attacker.str * attacker.str * attacker.str) / 32) + 30)
      self.damage = ((atk * ((((self.pdef - 280) * (self.pdef - 280))/110) + 16))/730) * (730 - (self.pdef * 51 - (self.pdef * self.pdef) / 11) / 10) / 730
     # FFX CBA

Skills

rate = (skill.power * (((user.int * user.int) / 6) + skill.power) / 4)
      self.damage = (rate * ((((self.mdef - 280) * (self.mdef - 280))/110) + 16)/730) * (730 - (self.mdef * 51 - (self.mdef * self.mdef) / 11) / 10) / 730
     if skill.atk_f == 1
       rate = (((user.str * user.str * user.str) / 32) + 30)
      self.damage = ((rate * ((((self.pdef - 280) * (self.pdef - 280))/110) + 16))/730) * (730 - (self.pdef * 51 - (self.pdef * self.pdef) / 11) / 10) / 730
    end
    if skill.atk_f == 2
       rate = ( skill.power * ((user.int + skill.power) / 2)) * ( 0 -1)
      self.damage = rate 
      end

Thank you for the help

      self.damage = ((atk * ((((self.pdef - 280) * (self.pdef - 280))/110) + 16))/
      If self.damage <=9999
         self.damage=self.damage 
      else
               If $data_skills[i].element_set.include?(17)
                  self.damage=self.damage
               else 
                  self.damage=9999
               end 
      end

Placing that should work for attack, at least in setting the limit I'll to get the rest in a few minutes
Edit that SHOULD work, I haven't tested it yet.

Extremely messy but this should work for skills.

rate = (skill.power * (((user.int * user.int) / 6) + skill.power) / 4)
      self.damage = (rate * ((((self.mdef - 280) * (self.mdef - 280))/110) + 16)/730) * (730 - (self.mdef * 51 - (self.mdef * self.mdef) / 11) / 10) / 730
       If self.damage <=9999
         self.damage=self.damage 
      else
               If $data_skills[i].element_set.include?(17)
                  self.damage=self.damage
               else 
                  self.damage=9999
               end 
      end
