How to implement every possible Yanfly Tips & Tricks effect in MZ with VisuStella plugins

Trihan · 2022-01-11T05:48:12+0900

Hi all. This is by far one of the biggest topics I've seen people asking about, to the point where I've been commissioned twice to make an MZ project containing all of the T&T effects. So I figured I'd make a topic about how to implement them all yourselves. If no other plugins are specified, these can all be done with the free cores. NOTE: Several effects use functions from the Battle Statistics plugin. Although there isn't a VS equivalent of this, I've added the same values via a global passive state which has the following code: Spoiler: Battle Statistics JavaScript: user._killCount ??= 0; user._assistCount ??= 0; user._deathCount ??= 0; if (target.hp 0 ? 1 : 0; } } if (target.hp Spoiler: Molten Giant (skill) Exact JavaScript: cost -= user.mhp - user.hp Percentage JavaScript: cost *= user.hpRate() Spoiler: Chicken Knife (weapon) JavaScript: ATK = $gameSystem.escapeCount(); Spoiler: Tonberry Shop Plugin Manager -> MainMenuCore -> Command Window List -> new entry Symbol: whatever you want Icon: whatever you want STR: Text: "Tonberry Shop" or what you want the menu option to be JS: Show: "$gameSwitches.value(10)" or whatever condition you want (this will make the shop available if switch 10 is on) JS: Ext: "return 1;" or replace 1 with a different common event ID. JS: Run Code: "SceneManager._scene.commandCommonEvent();" The common event setup will be the same as it was in the original T&T. Spoiler: Parallax Mapping Plugin Manager -> EventsMoveCore -> Region Rulings -> Forbid Regions Set up whatever regions you want to restrict movement, then paint those regions on your map as in the original T&T. Spoiler: On Map Encounters Requires the tier 4 Encounter Effects plugin. Event setup is the same as in the original T&T with the exception of the move route. Instead of putting this._chaseRange = 5; into the movement route, put in the event's note. More specific settings are available in the plugin parameters. Spoiler: Hestia Knife (weapon) JavaScript: ATK = user.paramBase(2) * 0.1 + user.level; Spoiler: Regen Scroll This cannot be adapted as VS hasn't ported independent item/upgrade slot functionality. Spoiler: Runic (state) Taunt effects require the tier 2 Aggro Control System plugin. JavaScript: if (this.isMagical() && this.isHpEffect() && value > 0) { value = 0; if (DataManager.isSkill(this.item())) { const mp = user.skillMpCost(this.item()); target.gainMp(mp); } $gameTemp.requestAnimation([target], 58); } Spoiler: Disintegrate (skill) JavaScript: if (target.hp Spoiler: Stat Upgrades Requires the tier 2 Skill Learn System plugin. If you wish to use Job Points for advancement, this will also require the tier 2 Class Change System plugin, but you can achieve the same effect using Skill Points or Ability Points. JavaScript: const id = 0; user._paramPlus[id] += 200; user._upgradeParam ??= []; user._upgradeParam[id] ??= 0; user._upgradeParam[id] += 1; user.forgetSkill(skill.id); user.refresh(); const id = 0; user._upgradeParam ??= []; user._upgradeParam[id] ??= 0; cost = 1000 + user._upgradeParam[id] * 200; The code supplied is for adding 200 to HP per upgrade. Adjust the param ID and additional values according to your needs. (1 = MP, 2 = ATK, 3 = DEF, 4 = MAT, 5 = MDF, 6 = AGI, 7 = LUK) Spoiler: Libra (skill) JavaScript: if (target.isEnemy()) { const id = target._enemyId; $gameSystem.registerDefeatedEnemy(id); } let text = `${target.name()} \\px[100]\\c[4]HP:\\c[0]${target.hp}/${target.mhp}\\px[300]\\c[4]MP:\\c[0]${target.mp}/${target.mmp}\\px[500]\\c[4]TP:\\c[0]${target.tp} \\px[100]\\c[4]ATK:\\c[0]${target.atk}\\px[300]\\c[4]MAT:\\c[0]${target.mat}\\px[500]\\c[4]AGI:\\c[0]${target.agi} \\px[100]\\c[4]DEF:\\c[0]${target.def}\\px[300]\\c[4]MDF:\\c[0]${target.mdf}\\px[500]\\c[4]LUK:\\c[0]${target.luk}`; $gameMessage.add(text); let weakness = ''; let resist = ''; let immune = ''; let absorb = ''; const elements = $dataSystem.elements; for (let i = 0; i 1) { weakness += `${name} `; } else if (rate < 0) { absorb += `${name} `; } else if (rate === 0) { immune += `${name} `; } else if (rate < 1) { resist += `${name} `; } } if (!weakness) weakness = 'None'; if…

I'm not sure Critical Vulnerability works right. The original T&T was about how to make any attack made against the battler inflicted with the state be a critical hit, but that notetag looks like it's supposed to make any attack made by the battler a critical hit instead.

When I tried testing it out in the sample project, it didn't seem to do anything at all.

I may have overlooked something, I'll check it in the morning.

Edit: I commented the same thing from RisenAngel, but only later I saw his comment, sorry, but I have the same doubt as him about critical vulnerability

Does anyone know what happened to the yanfly.moe wiki website? It's been down for at least 3 days and I'm trying to get on there so I can compare and get more information on the Tips and Tricks that have been recently put out. Thanks.

Hmmm....must be a problem with my computer (or internet) then...I can get on every other website just fine but yanfly's always has a "problem loading page" pop up even if I try again multiple times, your link does the same.

Thanks for at least verifying that it is on my end somehow, still don't understand why that is happening but I'll take it from here. Thanks.

Okay, I think I originally misunderstood what Critical Vulnerability was for. Adapting the original functionality will take a bit.

I feel bad bringing these up, but uh, two things.

I do really appreciate the addition of Stockpile as a potential solution for stacking state-based buff/debuffs. Unfortunately, it's not actually stacking the buff for me beyond the first application.

I used your Stockpile code exactly as you have it. I tested this with an Attack Buff state set to * 200% and used it an enemy with 10 ATK, which Libra then shows it has grown to 20 ATK as expected. However, subsequent applications of the state keeps the ATK at 20 (should be 40) even though the state counter goes up.

The second thing, I'm also having difficulty with Gravity.

Gravity will work as intended when used on any enemy, in consistently inflicting dmg equal to half of their current HP. However it also does this against a boss with the Boss category. I've checked to make sure that the boss has the passive state (even assigned the Boss state an icon to be certain of) and made sure that the name of the category is identical between the formula, state, and boss it is applied to. Yet it keeps halving the boss's HP even still.

I tried remaking the skill with notetags to see if that would make any difference. I got the halving effect to work with notetags, but unfortunately it still affects bosses the same.
Code:
<JS Pre-Damage> if (target.hasStateCategory('boss')) { value = a.mat * 6; } else { value = b.hp * 0.5; } </JS Pre-Damage>
I don't know what could be the issue with both of these.

I'll pick this up with you on Discord.

Nice work!

Though I was wondering for applying the Aura (such as Trueshot Aura) is there a way to apply it to battle members only, instead of all party members?

Cagnazzo's Tsunami (state)
JavaScript:
<JS On Add State>
user.clearActions();
let text = '<CENTER>' + user.name() + ' will unleash \\c[4]Tsunami\\c[0] in 3 turns.';
SceneManager._scene._logWindow._lines.push(text);
text = '<CENTER>Attack ' + user.name() + ' with \\c[6]Lightning\\c[0] to cancel it!';
SceneManager._scene._logWindow._lines.push(text);
SceneManager._scene._logWindow.refresh();
</JS On Add State>

Hi Trihan, do you know is there a way to let the text in logWindow be waiting for sometime? Now it is too fast to see it. I try to use SceneManager._scene._logWindow.addText(text), but it still can not be control the wait time.

If the skill that applies the aura is only usable in battle, what would the difference be?

What a fantastic resource! Do you have any plans to release a sample project containing these, either paid or otherwise? Just asking! :)

I appreciate you so much for this, I was wondering if you could also post the information on the Penta Slash effects. I've been trying to replicate the back-flips towards the end of the move but I can't seem to figure it out. :(

Okay so if an enemy uses Bide and my party members kill said enemy. An explosion animation will play and then the enemy would become a Zombie (Undead basically) and attacks against it will deal NaN damage.

That is until I removed this line:
enemy.gainHp(-damage);

Now they die and the battle ends as normal, not sure if that line was important somewhere but hey it works!

Is it possible to make Mana Burn work with TP rather than MP?
