Been way more than 72 hours and this request is still one of the most basic and valuable features RPG Maker could have. *Bump*.

Been over 72 hours again and I still care. *Bump*.

It's been over 72 hours and this is still absolutely necessary for my game to function, so *bump*.

Battle Log messages show up if you call a script in the damage formula, you say? I don't call scripts in the damage formula (and I'd prefer not to if possible), so I didn't know that. And I knew that Battle Log messages show up when you use the Effects Box. However, I am not using a custom script that changes anything relevant. Just one for enemy levels, one for making skills show up as commands instead of Attack, Guard, etc. And a few other non-relevant ones. The fact that Battle Log messages don't show up for Event Commands is a different problem from the fact that they don't show up for "a.add_state(1)" or the like in the damage formula. I realized only after I made this topic that I need to address both issues, either in the same script or in two different scripts. Sorry for the confusion. I do want to say that, if possible, I don't want to have to call a custom script with "_add_log" in the damage formula-- that the messages would just show up with the normal "add_state" and "remove_state". I think that would make the script plug-and-play, and would make things easier for anyone who uses this script. However, I'm not sure how the system works and I don't want to make things a chore for you. Anyway, thanks a ton for your help!

Alright, I'm going to "double post". I didn't see anything on the forum rules against double-posting, and my gratuitous use of reply edits makes it so my posts don't get noticed. Feel free to correct me on the double posting thing. Anyway, it seems that when I use a skill that has just "b.add_state_with_log(504)" in it or something, and it doesn't do damage, I get the following in the battle log: Message that enemy fell into state! Enemy took no damage! Message that enemy fell into state! So basically, it's double-posting the state message.

Sorry! I didn't get a notification for your reply. I do have a question. Do I HAVE to have a custom script call? Can I make it so that all damage formula "add_state"s and "remove_state"s automatically post to battle log? Or at least have an option for that that I can set to "true"/"false" in the script options? Also, I just realized I needed to make it so that the event commands Actor > "Change State" and Battle > "Enemy Change State" output to the battle log, too. Sorry for forgetting! I did find this, though I would prefer something a little more... automatic...: http://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?/topic/36604-state-applied-message-not-showing/ Although I think the main problem is that I can't address the player/enemy at the beginning of the text. In the meantime, gonna test out your script. If this works, you are my hero.

THAT'S IT!! Also, it's "add_state", not "addState". Thanks so much!

Your Dropbox link doesn't work. I guess Dropbox is being a jerk to everyone who posts scripts for RPG Maker stuff, because almost all Dropbox links to them are disabled.

Yeah, you're right. But it gets really frustrating having to re-explain-bump, taking two weeks to get a relevant answer when I said right in the original post what specific limitations that the next replies' solutions aren't covering. It's a good thing I have other database stuff to do in the meanwhile while I wait. Anyway, time to create a secondary topic. I still appreciate the replies, friends!
