Hi,

I am working on trying to figure out how to remove a current state once a parameter hits a certain number (this case MP stat hits zero) during a battle.  Sorry if this is located elsewhere, i have done some searching on both google and these forums for a similar stance, but nothing has surfaced yet.  So i thought I would go ahead and ask.  Thanks for any and all assistance on this topic!

Rundown:

I have a weapon that when equiped it grants the weilder a new skill for their class. 

When this skill is used during a battle, it activates a state that grants the user a new "skill type," additional "skill" moves in that type, while draining their MP each turn.

What I want is when the user's MP = 0 then remove the active said [state].

My Example:

Making a quick Fairy Tail game based on the anime.  I am going for Lucy's skill which is a summoning magic type ability.  The character would obtain a key which would be equiped allowing for her to "open a  gate/summon another character." After fatigue hits then she would send the character back.

My terms:

Character Skill Type: Celestial Gate

Skill: "Summon Taurus" - Generates a state "Summon Taurus" which grants the new Skill Type "Taurus Gate" with Skills "Rampage, Axe Smash...." and Drains 10% Ex-Param "MRG" per turn.

When activated during battle I am trying to achieve a way to obtain when MP=0 then Remove the "Taurus Gate" Skill Type thus removing all corresponding skills.

I also have another skill that works individually called "Close Gate" - This just removes States "Taurus Gate."

I tried going through and adding this formula to the individual skill, but I am not getting it to work properly and it would seem to only apply if the skill is actually used. (if a.mp=0; a.erase_state(31) ; end ; a.mat * 3) My result after i select and use the skill it sets my MP to zero and then removes the state as i wanted, but i dont want my mp to drop to zero after one use, just after X amount of turns.

I am not too familiar with switches, but i tried to play around with them, but couldn't seem to put together the proper terms so they acted during a battle phase.

I am really not familiar with scripting in rpg maker, but I feel like you should be able to write the conditional statement and refer to the state/skill as a notetag in some manner.

Here's to hoping I understood the rules and posted my first in the correct spot.

Thanks again for any help, it is much appreciated!
