Effect: Set Variable

-Tsukihime

 

When you use an item or skill, you can perform an operation on a variable.

 

Download

 

Script: Download here

Required: Effect Manager

 

Usage

 

Tag your item/skill with

 

 

<eff: set_var id op value>

Where

`id` is the ID of the variable to set

`val` is an operand

`op` will operate on the selected variable using val:

= assign val to variable ID
+ add val to variable ID
- subtract val from variable ID
* multiply variable ID with val
/ divide variable ID by val
% mod variable ID by val
** raise variable ID to the power val
<< left shift by val
>> right shift by val
& bitwise AND
^ bitwise XOR
| bitwise OR

Hi There,

Would it be possible to link variable-effects on states/classes/actors?

 

For example: <eff: set_var-guard (var_id) + 1> (if having state: increasing variable when getting damage)

 

or: <eff: set_var-attack (var_id) = 1> (if beeing actor (actor id): set variable when attacking/using skill)

[Tsukihime 1,489]

Yes, you just determine which object you want the effect to apply to, which trigger, and then alias the method.

 

alias :state_effect_set_var_guard :effect_set_var
alias :actor_effect_set_var_attack :effect_set_Var

 

It would not be meaningful for me to have 40 triggers when you're only using one, for example.

The script doesn't seem to work when the scope is set to none. Any chance of fixing that?

I have a variable set up that will increase every time the player uses the attack skill. The problem, however, is that it also increases when an enemy uses the attack skill. I am aware that the script allows for conditions to be set up, but I'm not sure what syntax to use so the variable will only change when an actor uses the skill. Any ideas? PS: I've tried these already, and none of them work:

 

<cond_eff: set_var if actor?>

<cond_eff: set_var if user.actor?>

<cond_eff: set_var if @battler.actor?>

<cond_eff: set_var if user == $game_actors[0]>

 

(Clearly, I'm not a scripter, because these are all just random ideas I got out of searching through the other scripts in my database.)

Try adding this line

  def effect_set_var(user, item, effect)    

return unless user.actor? # <---

id, op, value = effect.value1

if op == "="

$game_variables[id] = value

else

$game_variables[id] = $game_variables[id].send(op, value)

end

end

It worked! Ah, you rock. I had set up a skill damage formula that calculated damage with the variable in question, and the fact that it was being used by my enemies to strengthen MY attacks was just killing me, so this made it all better. Once again, you rock.

Hi Tsukihime, first of all I wanna say that this is the most useful script I've seen so far on this site.

I am having a little problem though.

I am trying to set the value of a variable through 2 weapons like this:

Weapon1:

   <eff: set_var 2 = 1>

Weapon2:

   <eff: set_var 2 = 2>

 

So if I equip weapon1 the varible is 1.

If I equip weapon2 the varible is 2.

The problem is that the variable remains 2 allways, even if I equip weapon 1 again.

The index of weapon2 is higher than the index of weapon1 if that has any importance.

 

So do you have any idea what's causing this?

 

Thanks.

Ok, so here is what I did and it works for me:

In the Game_Battler class I added:

 def weapon_effect_set_var_unequip(obj, effect)
end

under:

 def weapon_effect_set_var_equip(obj, effect)
id, op, value = effect.value1
if op == "="
$game_variables[id] = value
else
$game_variables[id] = $game_variables[id].send(op, value)
end
msgbox_p($game_variables[id])
end

And then I changed:

 alias :weapon_effect_set_var_unequip :weapon_effect_set_var_equip

with

 alias :weapon_effect_set_var_unequip :weapon_effect_set_var_unequip

Please let me know if you see anything wrong in this. Thanks.

[Tsukihime 1,489]

Ya you're basically saying when you unequip something, don't do anything.

 

Have you tried tagging it with this instead?

<eff: set_var-equip 2 = 1>
<eff: set_var-equip 2 = 2>

This will tell it to run only when you equip it.

Yeah I tried but unfortunately it doesn't work for me.

It doesn't matter anyway, it works the other way so...

Thanks.

I started a new threat about this, because previously I could not reply to this thread. I thought it had been closed or something, but I guess not. I apologize for the double post. Probably had something to do with the fact that I just registered this account today.

 

I'm pretty much a newb when it comes to RPG Maker. I'm trying make use of Tsukihime's script Set Variable. But I don't know much scripting or programming.

 

Basically I'd need to have a skill being used in battle be able to trigger an event or affect a variable. Something like when the actor uses Tickle, the variable increases by 1, which triggers an event where the enemy says: "Hihihi". When the variable raises to 2, the enemy goes "hohohoho". And so on.

 

Can someone tell me how to do this?
