Skill with Status, but.....

[jimmyly]

I try to explin this as best as I can

I have a skill lets call it Shield Poison that does Damage and cause a status effect like Poison, BUT!! the Poison only takes effect when the enemy has cast Protect on himself. If the enemy never cast Protect on himself and I cast Shield Poison, I'll do Damage, but I can never ever Poison the enemy.

it kinda like a conditional Branch Cant' poison unless the enemy has Protect Status

You can try to modify the skill_effect methode in Game_Battler, I added two lines (in blue) but I am not sure if it would work correctly, I don't have rmxp on this computer so I can't test it right now.

Spoiler: skill_effect

class Game_Battler
  def skill_effect(user, skill)
    self.critical = false
    if ((skill.scope == 3 or skill.scope == 4) and self.hp == 0) or
       ((skill.scope == 5 or skill.scope == 6) and self.hp >= 1)
      return false
    end
    effective = false
    effective |= skill.common_event_id > 0
    hit = skill.hit
    if skill.atk_f > 0
      hit *= user.hit / 100
    end
    hit_result = (rand(100) < hit)
    effective |= hit < 100
    if hit_result == true
      power = skill.power + user.atk * skill.atk_f / 100
      if power > 0
        power -= self.pdef * skill.pdef_f / 200
        power -= self.mdef * skill.mdef_f / 200
        power = [power, 0].max
      end
      rate = 20
      rate += (user.str * skill.str_f / 100)
      rate += (user.dex * skill.dex_f / 100)
      rate += (user.agi * skill.agi_f / 100)
      rate += (user.int * skill.int_f / 100)
      self.damage = power * rate / 20
      self.damage *= elements_correct(skill.element_set)
      self.damage /= 100
      if self.damage > 0
         if self.guarding?
          self.damage /= 2
        end
      end
      if self.damage.abs > 0
        amp = [self.damage.abs * skill.variance / 100, 1].max
        self.damage += rand(amp+1) + rand(amp+1) - amp
      end
      eva = 8 * self.agi / user.dex + self.eva
      hit = self.damage < 0 ? 100 : 100 - eva * skill.eva_f / 100
      hit = self.cant_evade? ? 100 : hit
      hit_result = (rand(100) < hit)
      effective |= hit < 100
    end
    if hit_result == true
      if skill.power != 0 and skill.atk_f > 0
        remove_states_shock
        effective = true
      end
      last_hp = self.hp
      self.hp -= self.damage
      effective |= self.hp != last_hp
      @state_changed = false
      [COLOR=blue]if skill.id == ID && self.state?(STATE_ID)[/COLOR]
        self.add_state(state_id)
      [COLOR=blue]else[/COLOR]
        effective |= states_plus(skill.plus_state_set)
        effective |= states_minus(skill.minus_state_set)
      [COLOR=blue]end[/COLOR]
      if skill.power == 0
        self.damage = ""
        unless @state_changed
          self.damage = "Miss"
        end
      end
    else
      self.damage = "Miss"
    end
    unless $game_temp.in_battle
      self.damage = nil
    end
    return effective
  end
end

The problem here is that the skill will only add a state only if the skill id is specified in "if" statement.

EDIT: I modified it a lil' bit, it should work now. on if skill.id == ID && self.state?(STATE_ID), change ID for your skill id. STATE_ID is the state the battlet must have if you want the skill to add another state.
You can add more conditions by adding elsif if skill.id == ID && self.state?(STATE_ID) but, personally, i think it's an ugly way to make it lol

How do I add more skills?

Is this right?

if skill.id == 1 && self.state?(21)
if skill.id == 16 && self.state?(21)
self.add_state(42)
else

 

[Dargor]

you can do some elsif statements like this:

if skill.id == ID && self.state?(STATE_ID)
...
elsif skill.id == ID && self.state?(STATE_ID)
...
elsif skill.id == ID && self.state?(STATE_ID)
...

etc.
