Don't know where this would go but I need help. (2k3 battle script)

[Hirochi-Zangus]

Is there any way to make a spell that both enhances and decreases 2 different stats at the same time on RPG2k3? Something like a spell that you use on your opponent that decreases their water defence while increasing their fire defence? I'm sure there's probably some events involved but any help would be appreciated.

This is how I remember it:
Resistance can only be affected by stuff in attacks or when creating monsters / characters. There are no events that are able to change someone's resistances.

So I'm afraid not.

[Hirochi-Zangus]

huh.... I suppose. Also, another quicky: Is there a way to make items recover a percentage of HP/MP like in Star Ocean. Blueberry recovers 30% HP.

[A Forgotten Legend]

Yep, in the database you can see where it says Restore __ % of Max + __ HP which means it recovers a percent and then a constant number.  You can set it to do both or either one.

[Prpl_Mage]

Yepp, the left one is percentage while the right one is a set number of hp.

[Hirochi-Zangus]

Oh, duh, hah hah. I meant skill, like a Spell that can heal 30% of their HP?

[A Forgotten Legend]

Well, I guess there might be a very long drawn out way to do that using a common event or something, but I don't have the time to figure it out.  Purp might be able to come up with something though.

[Prpl_Mage]

Funny thing you brought it up.
Skills don't ; for some reason - have the option to add percentage. You can't damage someone 50% of their hp and you can't heal someone 30% of their hp.

The solution for this is creating a status condition. Let's call it "healing", or simply "none" so noone notices.
In this status condition - go to the bottom where it says "Hp", we're basically making a status that heals 30% of your max health over 1 turn. It will heal once then disappear.
ps. make sure to check the box that says "recovery"

edit: Of course you make your healing spell inflict this status condition on the target.

[Hirochi-Zangus]

okay. Thanks Purp

[SaiKar]

Dude. Prpl. You're a genius. I would have NEVER thought of that one-turn healing trick. Holey crap. That opens up so much possibilities for me.

[drenrin2120]

Damn purp. I love you. You just solved a huge problem for me, as well.

Yep. ... stating it correctly...
