This plugin adds a single notetag: <skill-ai [skill name or id]> ... </skill-ai>. This notetag is only able to be used on enemy note boxes.
Each line between the tag start and end either:
- Changes the action pattern rating of the skill, or;
- Changes the "tgr" special parameter of all the possible targets of the skill.
Examples:
boost 5 when enemy.state is Paralyzed will increase the action pattern rating of the skill by 5 if there are any enemies with the Paralyzed state.
target 5x .state is Paralyzed will multiply the target's TGR by 5, making it 5 times more likely that the battler will choose that target, if the target has the Paralyzed state. This TGR change is temporary and disappears as soon as the battle chooses a target.
The examples above use
.state, but hp, mp, atk, def, and more are able to be used, and can be checked against constant numbers, percentages, and variables.
This plugin only allows action pattern rating and TGR to be changed; it doesn't do anything else. It cannot change the list of available targets (if you want to restrict the targets, just use a ridiculously high target multiplier, e.g.
target 100x ...). It cannot add skills that are not already present in the enemy's action pattern. It cannot do turn-based conditions (e.g. use skill on turn 5), because RPG Maker is already pretty good at that.
Full Example (taken from the demo project):
Code:
RPG Maker already has good conditions for managing MP (in the demo project, this skill
has the condition that it is only available if MP is less than 20%), but we can still improve it
by making sure we target the character we can drain the most MP from.
<skill-ai Bizarre Dance>
target 5x .mp highest
</skill-ai>
This is a skill that adds a "Weak to Darkness" state. Here we avoid it being used on someone
who is already affected by it (mostly, anyway - an 8x tgr modifier isn't certain).
<skill-ai No Light>
target 8x .state is not Weak to Darkness
</skill-ai>
For this skill, we want it to be selected more often if an enemy is weak to darkness, and we
want to target the enemy who is weak.
<skill-ai Shade I>
boost 4 enemy.state is Weak to Darkness
target 8x .state is Weak to Darkness
</skill-ai>
