[VX] Elemental Efficiency/Zombie Idea/Question

[ikos]

I have an idea to make a standard "zombie" status, where curative items and magicks do reverse numerical values. So, if  a potion heals for 200HP, a potion would deal 200HP to an actor inflicted with Zombie. Now this may be easier said than done, but I have an idea.

Would it be possible to mark all curative things with a "Cure" element and make Zombie status change an elemental efficiency to an F (negative 100% if I recall correctly. (I'm not on a PC with RMVX so I can't really test this theory.) Any feedback helps.

Well, the problem is that you can't set elemental efficiency with states.  You'd have to actually change the enemy, which could get very complicated with events.  Your best bet would be to request a script that changes efficiency of element [number] when state [number] is applied.  I think it would be easy to script, but I'm not sure.

(Whoa.  If you use (#) with brackets instead of parentheses, it does this:
[#]It creates a list [#]With square bullets [#]I did not know that
It looks like (#)text (#)text (#)text, then stops when you start a new line with "Enter".  Sorry for being random. :tongue

This may help:

A Little Script I use myself, now it is for "XP" and not "VX" but you could use it as a base to script something up for a "VX" version?

[#]I don't think [#]it'll be easy to change to VX [#]since that uses the SDK.

Yeah, I caught that when I got home, imagine how distraught I was. (I actually thought I solved this >_>).
You can also use "[ x ]" (without the spaces) :p.
