Hello there! I am working in something that allow the player to choose a buff during game start, i have done successfully for the ex and sp parameter, but getting stuck on the normal parameter (MaxHP, Agility, so on...) and element rate. Thing is, I want to make them dynamically change as in at level 1, 100 hp will get 20% buff so it goes 120 and level 2, 200 hp will goes 240 hp. For element rate, choosing which element the player will get damage reduction it.
I know I can place a states but is there any other way without using it?
Please and thank you..

Well you can get a dynamic 20% HP buff just by giving them a Max HP - 120% trait. But are you saying you want the player to choose what the trait is so that's why you can't put it in the database directly?

Yes, that's the plan. I am getting stuck on this for few hours. If I am out of option might as well place the buff, but if there's any idea how to do without it i be grateful -
If you want to add a trait to a given actor:
Code:$gameActors.actor(ACTOR ID).actor().traits.push({code: CODE, dataId: ID, value: VALUE})
If you want to add one to the actor's class:
Code:$gameActors.actor(ACTOR ID).currentClass().traits.push({code: CODE, dataId: ID, value: VALUE})
If you want to add one to the party leader:
Code:$gameParty.leader().actor().traits.push({code: CODE, dataId: ID, value: VALUE})
Or party leader's class:
Code:$gameParty.leader().currentClass().traits.push({code: CODE, dataId: ID, value: VALUE})
Where CODE, ID and VALUE are determined as follows:
Element rate = 11 (ID starts at 1 for "physical", increasing by 1 for each element ID you've defined)
Debuff rate = 12 (ID start at 0 - Max HP, Max MP, Attack, Defence, M Attack, M Defence, Agility, Luck)
State rate = 13 (ID starts at 1 for "death", increasing by 1 for each state you've defined)
State resist = 14 (ID starts at 1 for "death" increasing by 1 for each state you've defined)
Param = 21 (ID starts at 0 - Max HP, Max MP, Attack, Defence, M Attack, M Defence, Agility, Luck)
Ex-Param = 22 (ID starts at 0 - Hit Rate, Evasion Rate, Critical Rate, Critical Evasion, Magic Evasion, Magic Reflection, Counter Attack, HP Regeneration, MP Regeneration, TP Regeneration)
Sp-Param = 23 (ID starts at 0 - Target Rate, Guard Effect, Recovery Effect, Pharmacology, MP Cost Rate, TP Charge Rate, Physical Damage, Magical Damage, Floor Damage, Experience)
Attack element = 31 (ID starts at 1 for "physical", increasing by 1 for each element ID you've defined)
Attack state = 32 (ID starts at 1 for "death", increasing by 1 for each state you've defined)
Attack speed = 33 (ID will always be 0)
Attack times = 34 (ID will always be 0)
Add skill type = 41 (ID starts at 1, increasing by 1 for each skill type defined)
Seal skill type = 42 (ID starts at 1, increasing by 1 for each skill type defined)
Add skill = 43 (ID starts at 1, increasing by 1 for each skill defined)
Seal skill = 44 (ID starts at 1, increasing by 1 for each skill defined)
Add weapon type = 51 (ID starts at 1, +1 for each weapon)
Add armour type = 52 (ID starts at 1, +1 for each armour)
Lock equip = 53 (ID starts at 1, +1 for each equip slot)
Seal equip = 54 (ID starts at 1, +1 for each equip slot
Slot type = 55 (ID will always be 0)
Action+ = 61 (ID will always be 0)
Special flag = 62 (ID starts at 0 - Auto Battle, Guard, Substitute, Preserve TP)
Collapse type = 63 (ID starts at 0 - Normal, Boss, Instant, No Disappear)
Party ability = 64 (ID starts at 0 - Encounter Half, Encounter None, Cancel Surprise, Raise Preemptive, Gold Double, Item Drop Double)
For percentage-based traits (Element rate, debuff rate etc.) VALUE is a percentage expressed as a fraction, 1 being 100%. So for 50% you'd put 0.5, for 150% you'd put 1.5, and so on.
For flat rate traits like attack speed, the VALUE is the amount you want to raise/lower it by. So if you wanted +5 attack speed, you'd just put 5. For -5 attack speed, you'd put -5.
For traits that add skill types, skills, flags etc. VALUE will always be 1. -

Wao thanks man, this is clearly defined and will seriously help me.. thank you -
I'm considering posting a more in-depth version of this as a tutorial in its own right, what do you think?

I think this will help plenty of people with their game, go for it. :) -
Oh, forgot to mention: because this is modifying the $data___ variables, which initially get their data from the database values, the new traits won't persist when loading a saved game. I'll cover this in the tutorial about it.

So the data need to be recalled again during game load? Won't the data stick to what it being saved? -
No, because the traits aren't actually saved anywhere; the game just grabs them from the database fields. You can change them during play, but then when you reload a save it'll be like "Okay, for traits I need to look at the database. There they are." and overwrite your changes.

ah, that's too bad.. Will creating a plugin help store the data? Maybe through reverse engineering the game javascript.. or creating some function. I don't know.. I am consider amateur in the world of javascript. Just learning bits by bits whenever I have the time.. -
I will explain how to do this to you, I just haven't had the time yet. XD
-
By the way, I finally have time to test the code.. It somehow didn't work.. Did I wrongly input the code.. or am i missing something :p -
If you did it with the menu open, you'll have to close/reopen the menu to see the change.

Nevermind, it collide with Yanfly Base Parameter. So turning it off make it functional. :p
and yes you are correct, loading the game after you close the game (e.g. taking rest from game) reset the value to normal. -
Excuse me, but what about getting the actor's extra or special params? I just need a code which returns the current value of one extra or special param of an actor (like return actor 1's HIT) for later use, so what should i write?

I use Yanfly plugins to add or reduce it through script if that's what you asking. :) -

I also use the Ex and Sp params control plugins to add and reduce those params. However, i just need a script code to get the current value of one of those params to display for players in a text message somewhere else. I know this is a bit off-topic, but it is also quite related. -
I'm considering posting a more in-depth version of this as a tutorial in its own right, Yes !!!!!PPPPPPPPpPPpLLLLEEEEAAASSSSEEEEE!!!!!

I have figured out how to return actor's extra or special params. It turns out to be so easy like this (I hope it is right because i know next to nothing about Javascript):
- If i want to return HIT value of a specific actor: $gameActors.actor(actor id).hit (did a try and it did return me the value)
The param codes should be in the list below. Change hit to whatever you need:
Params: (All flat numbers, e.g.: 1337, 7331, 156)
mhp - max hp
mmp - max MP
atk - attack
def - defence
mat - magic attack
mdf - magic defence
agi - agility
luk - luck
XParams: (All decimal numbers symbolizing percent, e.g. 1.0, 0.5, 0.75, 2.44 would be 100%, 50%, 75%, 244%)
hit - Hit rate
eva - Evasion rate
cri - Critical rate
cev - Critical evasion rate
mev - Magic evasion rate
mrf - Magic reflection rate
cnt - Counter attack rate
hrg - HP regeneration rate
mrg - MP regeneration rate
trg - TP regeneration rate
SParams: (All decimal numbers symbolizing percent, e.g. 1.0, 0.5, 0.75, 2.44 would be 100%, 50%, 75%, 244%)
tgr - Target Rate
grd - Guard effect rate
rec - Recovery effect rate
pha - Pharmacology
mcr - MP Cost rate
tcr - TP Charge rate
pdr - Physical damage rate
mdr - Magical damage rate
fdr - Floor damage rate
exr - Experience rate
