Alistair Plugins: Mana Shield

Introduction

This Plugin is a mere conversion of its RPG Maker VX Ace counterpart. I have taken some optional notetags out, but they will be added back in in a short time.

Mana Shields are pretty common these days since they allow squishy battlers like Mages or Priests to become somewhat tanky since they have so much Mana to use as a second HP bar.
This Plugin will allow Weapons, Armours and States to act as Mana Shields.

In the Plugin Manager, be sure to place it BELOW all of Yanfly’s Battle Scripts or otherwise it may not work!

Usage

After installing the plugin, you may use several notetags in the Noteboxes of Weapons, Armours and States:

————————————————————————————————————————————————————

<ms_absorb:x>

Will reduce incoming damage by x%.
Example: <ms_absorb:20>. 100 Damage will be reduced by 20% => 80 Damage.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————

<ms_reduce:x>

Will reduce incoming damage by x.

Example: <ms_reduce:30>. 160 Damage will be reduced by 30 => 130 Damage.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————

<ms_split_x:y>

Will split incoming damage between HP and x (x being either MP or TP) by y%.

Example: <ms_split_MP:50>. 140 Damage will be split to 70 HP Damage and 70 MP Damage.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————

<ms_replenish_x:y>

Will replenish x (x being either HP, MP or TP) by y% of the damage.

Example: <ms_replenish_TP:50>. 100 Damage will recover 50 TP.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————

<ms_ignore:x>

Will ignore all incoming damage with a probability of x%.

Example: <ms_ignore:100>. Will certainly ignore any damage.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————

<ms_dissolve_x:y>

Will delete the state with the Mana Shield property if the afflicted battler has y or less x (x being either HP, MP or TP)

Example: <ms_dissolve_MP:0>. Will remove the Mana Shield State if the battler has 0 MP (or less) left.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————

<ms_TP_ratio:x>

1 TP will drain x Points of Damage. If there’s no Tag present, it will just revert to what’s set in the “Default TP Ratio” parameter.

Example: <ms_TP_ratio:5>. 1 TP will absorb 5 Points of Damage.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————

<ms_MP_ratio:x>

1 MP will drain x Points of Damage. If there’s no Tag present, it will just  revert to what’s set in the “Default MP Ratio” parameter.

Example: <ms_MP_ratio:2>. 1 MP will absorb 2 Points of Damage.

Settings

Allow Healing: If you go overboard with some notetag values, the Mana Shield may even end up healing the shielded battler. Allow this behaviour? Default Value: false

Cap Notetag Values: Some Mana Shield Properties can screw things up if they go beyond 100%. Settings this to true will cap those notetags at 100. Default Value: true

Show MP Popups: If this is false, there won’t be any MP Popups anymore (not even the default ones). Default Value: true

Default MP Ratio: The default HP Damage to MP Damage Ratio which will apply to all Shields unless you use notetags to change them. Default Value: 1

Default TP Ratio: The default HP Damage to TP Damage Ratio which will apply to all Shields unless you use notetags to change them. Default Value: 1
