[RMVX ACE] CHECK IF AN ACTOR HAS EVADED AN ATTACK?

I'm trying to using Yanfly's Lunatic States Found Here in order to create an effect where if a character evades an attack, they receive a buff to their stats.

However, I'm running into trouble forming the check to see if the User has properly evaded the attack.

I figure this is stored somewhere in the game_results or game action_results, as I was able to create a state that granted bonus on hitting a critical using similar methods.

So far, I have a passive state applied to said character. I'm using a "react effect" on that state that says the following:



I've also tried "if user.result.evaded" and "state_origin.result.evaded" but whenever the actor dodges, nothing happens. That state(44) is a bonus state that has the actual bonuses.

Am I just completely off? Thanks for taking the time to read this :).

I don't know a thing about coding, but I have a script Craze made called Regrowth Options that does something like this. It has options for "when a character evades" but it seems to mainly do things like restoring HP, TP, or MP, but maybe it'd give you a clue, if nothing else?

I'd link you to it on his old blog, but it just 404s, so I can paste it here if you like!

That's actually a great idea!

I think I may have a copy of that script somewhere in my super old VX Ace failures...

Can you link it here, just in case :P

Not sure how much this helps, but, the default processing for the evasion check seems to be in Game_Battler?

class Game_Battler < Game_BattlerBase
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Calculate Evasion Rate for Skill/Item
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def item_eva(user, item)
    return eva if item.physical?    # Return evasion if physical attack
    return mev if item.magical?     # Return magic evasion if magic attack
    return 0
  end
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Apply Effect of Skill/Item
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def item_apply(user, item)
    @result.clear
    @result.used = item_test(user, item)
    @result.missed = (@result.used && rand >= item_hit(user, item))
    @result.evaded = (!@result.missed && rand < item_eva(user, item))
    if @result.hit?
      unless item.damage.none?
        @result.critical = (rand < item_cri(user, item))
        make_damage_value(user, item)
        execute_damage(user)
      end
      item.effects.each {|effect| item_effect_apply(user, item, effect) }
      item_user_effect(user, item)
    end
  end
end

*Edit: Maybe as a test-run, insert a new code-block with something like...

class Game_Battler < Game_BattlerBase
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Apply Effect of Skill/Item
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def item_apply(user, item)
    @result.clear
    @result.used = item_test(user, item)
    @result.missed = (@result.used && rand >= item_hit(user, item))
    @result.evaded = (!@result.missed && rand < item_eva(user, item))
    if @result.hit?
      unless item.damage.none?
        @result.critical = (rand < item_cri(user, item))
        make_damage_value(user, item)
        execute_damage(user)
      end
      item.effects.each {|effect| item_effect_apply(user, item, effect) }
      item_user_effect(user, item)
    elsif @result.evaded
      user.add_state(44)
    end
  end
end

...this, and observe if the state is applied after a successful evasion? Might not hurt to set a character's (or enemy's) EVA to, like, 90% or 100% for the purposes of testing too.

Well, that snippet worked, but when the actor dodged it added the state to the enemy. So now, I guess the next step would be to change it so the "target" gets the state, and only when a specific actor is targeted.


I could make an equipment tag that says if the target's notebox contains this tag, add the state.

Thanks guys! I’ve leveled up a bit, but it’s back to the grind.
