BEAKMANTHEGREAT'S PROFILE

Just starting to get my feet in the water with this "coding" thing...
If everyone could please be patient and answer my questions, I'd be much obliged.

Having a weapon deal damage based on Spirit stat?

How would I go about doing this?

Seeing all those fractured pieces of code they give aren't helping!
If someone would please make me just a basic coding for a staff that deals fire damage based on the Spirit stat,(not Strength), I will monkey with it and start to figure it out.

Thanks in advance!

I am Beakmanthegreat. But I'm not that great at making RPG's yet...

I will mostly be on the forums to ask for help.

If you see me, you may just want to ask me what I need help with; I guarantee you that I will need it 80% of the time I'm here. :P

Anyway, I've had an interest in RPG's since I was about 7. I beat Legend of Dragoon, and had a copy of Valkyrie Profile. (which I traded in to Gamestop because Freya kept killing me halfway through the game)

I later figured out two things.

The first was that I needed to transfer my characters to Asgard (or wherever it was) to avoid that game over.
The next was that the game now sells for over 200$ sometimes. Oops. >.<

anyway, my brother and I were bouncing ideas for RPG battle mechanics while Playing Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion, and I thought, "you know what? It's high time I tried out that RPG Maker thing I saw a few months back."

So today, I, Beakmanthegreat, and my brother, who, should he need to speak, will be addressed as Sirchichi, are attempting to make a 10+ hour long RPG.

Our original idea would be too complex, but I have concepted the beginning of a separate story which I hope will be entertaining. It's slighly cliche, but I think its also slightly original.

Or maybe its double cliched right from the beginning. Maybe.

But I'm rambling, so I'm going to finish my introduction then get back to programming. :P

Here's a synopsis:
Me=Beakmanthegreat
Brother/Coprogrammer=Sirchichi
Game= Generic Cliched RPG (Working Title)

See you around! :D

Noob question please help. "how do I place a character sprite on the map in RPGMakerVX?


Hello. This is a crowning achievement for me. I have finally decided to make an RPG using this software. I may buy it, If I cannot finish my projected Idea in 30 days, that is. Now, as this is my first time scripting anything besides an HTML website, I have a few questions.

First, how do I place a character sprite on the map in RPG Maker VX?

Then, is there a way to have a skill work immediately when a battle begins?
This one I MAY have figured out, but it leads to my third question which is;

Can I make the chance that an attack will inflict a status change with each attack?
For instance, can I make a weak attack that will almost always stun, and then make a strong attack that has a lower chance of stun?
Or do I have to make a new status for the new attack?

Any help is much appreciated!

Looking forward to hear from you guys! :D
