Yanfly Engine Plugins

This plugin is a part of the Yanfly Engine Plugins library.

Introduction

The game gives a lot of control over the damage formula, but it doesn't give
much control for everything else after calculating it. This plugin will give
you control over the order the damage formula is calculated in addition to
letting you insert your own changes to it at whatever you wish.

If you have YEP_BattleEngineCore.js installed, place this plugin under
YEP_BattleEngineCore.js if you wish to make use of the extra features this
plugin has to offer.

Notetags

The following are some notetags you can use to modify the damage caps.

Skill and Item Notetag:
  <Bypass Damage Cap>
  This causes the skill/item to ignore the damage cap and go with the
  regular value of the calculated damage. This will cancel out any damage
  cap effects otherwise. This will take priority over any damage cap
  breaking effects.

Actor, Class, Enemy, Weapon, Armor, and State Notetags:
  <Bypass Damage Cap>
  This will cause the related battler to bypass any damage capping effects
  and its skills/items will go with the uncapped calculated value.

  <Damage Cap: x>
  <Heal Cap: x>
  This will set the skill to have a damage/healing cap of x. This will
  cancel out any damage cap bypassers. If a battler has more than one
  damage cap, it will go with the highest value. This means if an actor that
  has a weapon that brings the damage cap to 99,999 and an accessory that
  brings the damage cap to 999,999, then the battler's damage cap will be
  the highest value of 999,999.

Plugin Commands

The following are plugins you can use to set the damage cap rulings for your
game. Keep in mind that individual aspects such as equipment traits, skill
properties, etc. will take priority over these default caps.

Plugin Command:
  SetDamageCap 9999     Sets the default damage cap to 9999.
  SetHealingCap 9999    Sets the default healing cap to 9999.
  EnableDamageCap       Enables default cap for both damage and healing.
  DisableDamageCap      Disables default cap for both damage and healing.

Lunatic Mode - Damage Formula

For those who think the damage formula box is too small and would like to
use the notebox instead to declare the damage formula, you can use the
notetags below:

Skill and Item Notetags:
  <damage formula>
   value = 500;
   value += 2500;
  </damage formula>
  This will overwrite the damage formula found at the top and use the
  strings in the middle as the formula instead. Keep in mind that using
  comments here will cancel out anything following after. New variables can
  be used, too, to make damage calculations a bit easier.

  value   - Refers to the amount that will become the base damage value.
  user    - Refers to the actor/enemy using the skill/item.
  subject - Refers to the actor/enemy using the skill/item.
  target  - Refers to the target actor/enemy on the receiving end of
            the skill/item.

Lunatic Mode - Damage Steps

The damage formula isn't all there is to calculating the damage that appears
at the very end. In this plugin's parameters towards the bottom, you'll see
a large list of Damage Steps. Each one of these steps is a line of code that
the damage count will run through in order to calculate and finalize the
damage output.

The purpose of those parameters is to allow you ease of access on where you
want to insert code that is your own or custom code provided by another
plugin. Here's a quick reference on how the original damage flow looked like:

Game_Action.prototype.makeDamageValue = function(target, critical) {
    var item = this.item();
    var baseDamage = this.evalDamageFormula(target);
    var value = baseDamage * this.calcElementRate(target);
    if (this.isPhysical()) {
        value *= target.pdr;
    }
    if (this.isMagical()) {
        value *= target.mdr;
    }
    if (baseDamage < 0) {
        value *= target.rec;
    }
    if (critical) {
        value = this.applyCritical(value);
    }
    value = this.applyVariance(value, item.damage.variance);
    value = this.applyGuard(value, target);
    value = Math.round(value);
    return value;
};

In the vein of keeping everything organized, the following lines have been
incorporated into new functions:

Formula                               New Function
  value *= target.pdr                   value = this.applyPhysicalRate
  value *= target.mdr                   value = this.applyMagicalRate
  value *= target.rec                   value = this.applyHealRate
  value = this.applyCritical(value)     value = this.applyCriticalRate

Yanfly Engine Plugins - Battle Engine Extension - Action Sequence Commands

If you have YEP_BattleEngineCore.js installed with this plugin located
underneath it in the Plugin Manager, you can make use of these extra
damage related action sequences.

Changelog

Version 1.08:
- Bypass the isDevToolsOpen() error when bad code is inserted into a script
call or custom Lunatic Mode code segment due to updating to MV 1.6.1.

Version 1.07:
- Updated for RPG Maker MV version 1.5.0.

Version 1.06:
- Lunatic Mode fail safes added.

Version 1.05:
- Added failsafe for damage cap check in case Lunatic Mode effects of other
plugins would push the damage past the capped amount.

Version 1.04:
- Rewored Damage Steps 1 through 8. If you're updating from an old version,
please update the these manually:
  Step 1: baseDamage = this.modifyBaseDamage(value, baseDamage, target);
  Step 2: baseDamage *= this.calcElementRate(target);
  Steps 3 through 5: (empty)
  Step 6: critical = this.modifyCritical(critical, baseDamage, target);
  Step 7: target.result().critical = critical;
  Step 8: value = baseDamage;
- This change was made to Element Absorb and Disperse Damage better. This
damage step change is also more efficient in calculating damage effects that
alters the baseDamage.

Version 1.03:
- Changed default parameter in Damage Step 4 from
  'baseDamage = this.modifyBaseDamage(value, baseDamage, target);' to
  'value = this.modifyBaseDamage(value, baseDamage, target);'
Be sure to manually change this yourself if you want to get things like the
Selection Control's Disperse Damage mechanic to work.

Version 1.02:
- Updated for RPG Maker MV version 1.1.0.
- <Damage Formula> notetag now supports comments.

Version 1.01:
- Fixed a bug with <Damage Formula> not recording custom formulas correctly.

Version 1.00:
- Finished plugin!
