- Edit parameters to your needs
- Add a notetag for each enemy for shield and for elemental weaknesses like so:

Example Bat Enemy Notetag:

You madman. Good job.
:MV1:

It's nice to see how two people wanting to do the same thing can arrive at two completely different results.
I only made the shield and weakness display part of it but almost nothing is alike.
I wonder how your plugin works with the yanfly's suite, especially element core and multiple element attacks.

Side notes:
You probably want to alias game actor setup, right now any plugin that adds parameters and is placed above your plugin won't work.

I also didn't want to modify makeDamageValue because a lot of plugins touch it, so I made the shield calculations inside applyDamage, I wonder if this plugin would work with yanfly's damage core for instance.
Also, you left a console.log in there.

Anyway it's nice, congrats!

@Astfgl66 just looked at yours and it’s really cool how different of an approach we took from each other!

I totally forgot to alias the actor setup in the version I posted, I uploaded this right before going to bed so I forgot to add a few things (like a parameter that lets you run an eval when a shield breaks and a few small fixes).
I use makeDamageValue for a lot of things so I’ll have to make some form of compatibility fix.

Thanks for your feedback!

This sounds great! Exiting to see more things like that :D

Great plugin, Jiffy! :cutesmile: I made a few icons inspired on Octopath Traveler. In case anyone wants it:

Actually octopath traveler's icons are from here if I recall correctly so there's additional resources.

Wow, really? I'd never guess they'd be using free assets! Pretty interesting! Do you have a source for that? I'm not doubting, though, it's just that I find it honestly impressive. :cutesmile:

Updated the plugin again with some compatibility fixes (hopefully fixed the issue with YEP Damage Core) and cleaned up a lot of the code. Download link should be updated.

EDIT:
So dropbox didn't update properly last time, it should be good now. lol

I really want to use this plugin, but it is not working for me. I keep getting this error when I enter battle.

Love this :)

@Rose Guardian Hey there! Can you try it in a blank project with no other plugins and see if the error occurs again?

Guessing this is a long-shot, but... does anyone know a script call I can put into "Eval on Shield Break" that will allow me to add a state to the target whose shield was broken? I'm at a loss.

EDIT: Never mind, can't actually get the plug-in working anyways.

Hello Jiffy I can't get your plugin working even with a blank project

still not working when use blank project
