Hi guys, here I am again for another strange question. I already searched in the "search" box, but I couldn't find anything, basically because I don't know what to search too.
Let's start from saying that I don't have any idea if what I'm looking for is a script or some hidden option in the database. Here's the problem:
I wanted to rebuild all my game's gameplay(leaving the standard battle system). What I wanted to modify were the attributes and enemies resistances. In particular I removed those attributes like "Vs Human", "Vs Ogre" and so on, that, in my opinion, didn't have any likelyhood in real life. I mean, having a Holy attribute which is stronger against Un-Deads or a "insectidice" attribute stronger against insects, make sense, but having something like "Vs Beasts" I don't think make any sense. So I removed all those attributes and added the weapons attributes: "Piercing", "Slash" and "Blunt". For instance, fighting a stone enemy(like a Gargoyle) make sense that Piercing and Slash attacks are almost useless, while Blunt attacks should deal a massive amount of damage. Unfortunately RMXP attributes management doesn't provide a further control on multiple attributes. Here's the situation: I have an Angel which has F for "Light" damage, which means that he absorbs Light attacks. In my game, Light and Holy are the same thing, so, Cross-Blade the first skill of warriors, inflicts Light damage, but it's still a physical attack, so it has the "slash" attributes like swords base attack. This Angel has C to slash damage so base one.
Now. What I'm expecting is that a Cross-Blade on an enemy with F in Light and C in slash, has a damage output almost or equal to zero, instead it seems that it only calculates the base damage granted by Slash and ignore the Light one and I don't have idea what king of operation does it do.
I understood that to solve the problem, it would be enough to create an attribute for the enemy for the double type "slash/light", but this would mean creating "N" attributes for "N" skills, which, even if possible, it doesn't seem very efficient, yet elegant.
Another example, maybe more comprehensible, is the battle with a Kraken. In my game it has resistance D to blunt e weakness B to slash(in my thoughts, a giant tentacle would be easier to "cut" than "smash"). Axes which are, always in my opinion, an hybrid "Slash/Blunt" should deal a damage similar to base one "C". That is, if my attack deals 500 base damage, it would deal 750 damage for B attribute and 250 damage for D attribute. Adding them and then dividing for the number of attributes the attack have(in this example 2) should deal exactly 500 damage. (750+250)/2=1000/2=500.
Now, after this long introduction, that I hope it's understandable(I'm willing to explain better in any case), what I would ask is if there is a way, a script, an option in the database and so on, which can solve this problem, that is, a further control on the attributes which calculates the exact amount of damage. As always, thanks in advance to those who will read this long text and will be willing to answer. :grin:
