Hand Over De-Buffs ACE

by Kyonides Arkanthes

Introduction

 I think that the title is quite suggestive so I will simply leave the code below for you to use.

It also includes the notes you will need to leave at the skills' noteboxes to make the script work as intended.

You can only leave 1 of those 3 notes at any given time!

Code:

# * Hand Over De-Buffs ACE * #

# * Instructions:
# Leave a skill note like the following:
# <handover buffs> or <handover debuffs> or <handover all buffs>
# You can only leave 1 of those 3 notes at any given time!

class Game_Battler
  REGEX_BUFFS = /<handover buffs>/i
  REGEX_DEBUFFS = /<handover debuffs>/i
  REGEX_DE_BUFFS = /<handover all buffs/i

    end
  end

    @buff_turns.delete(pos)
  end

  def hand_over_buffs(user)
    user.buff_turns.keys.sort.each do |n|
      next if user.buffs[n] < 0
      @buffs = user.buffs[n]
      @buff_turns = user.buff_turns[n]
      user.clear_buff(n)
      @result.added_buffs.push(n).uniq!
    end
    user.refresh
    refresh

  end

  def hand_over_debuffs(user)

      user.clear_buff(pos)
      @result.added_debuffs.push(pos).uniq!
    end
    user.refresh
    refresh
    @result.success = true
  end

  def hand_over_all_buffs(user)
    @buffs = user.buffs.dup
    @buff_turns = user.buff_turns.dup
    @buffs.size.times do |pos|
      if user.buffs[pos] > 0
        @result.added_buffs.push(n).uniq!
      else
        @result.added_debuffs.push(pos).uniq!
      end
    end
    user.clear_buffs
    user.refresh
    refresh
    @result.success = true
  end

The Code Has Been Rewritten!

Based on my lastest test runs, trying to apply the effect as a damage formula was a NO GO.
Thus, I was in dire need of looking for an alternate way to solve this issue.
 And I finally found it!

I simply needed to define it as Skill Notes and let the game apply any of them as an Item Effect.
By default, the item effects only run IF there was a hit or successful attempt to cast the spell on the target.
That means that I had no reason to worry about that at all!
