Notetags
If you would like to utilize custom target scopes for your skills and items, you can use these notetags:
Skill and Item Notetags:
<Repeat: x>
This determines the number of times an action is repeatedly used on each target. This can go beyond the default editor’s limit of 9.
<Target: Everybody>
This targets all alive opponent and friendly members with the user being the very last target.
<Target: x Random Any>
This adds x random alive opponents and/or allies.
<Target: Target All Foes>
This targets a single foe and then adds all alive opponent members.
<Target: Target x Random Foes>
This targets a single foe and then adds x random alive opponent members.
<Target: x Random Foes>
This adds x random alive opponent members. This can go beyond the editor’s default limit of 4 randomf oes.
<Target: All Allies But User>
This will target all friendly alive members except for the user.
<Target: Target All Allies>
This will target a single ally and then adds all alive friendly members.
<Target: Target x Random Allies>
This will target a single ally and then adds x random alive allies.
<Target: x Random Allies>
This adds x random alive allied members.
<Target: Everybody param Multiple Of x>
Replace ‘param’ with ‘level’, ‘maxhp’, ‘maxmp’, ‘atk’, ‘def’, ‘mat’, ‘mdf’, ‘agi’, ‘luk’, ‘hp’, ‘mp’, or ‘tp’. This will make the skill or item indiscriminately target any living battler on the battlefield whose parameter value is a multiple of x.
NOTE: If you are using ‘level’, make sure you have YEP_EnemyLevels.js.
<Target: Allies param Multiple Of x>
Replace ‘param’ with ‘level’, ‘maxhp’, ‘maxmp’, ‘atk’, ‘def’, ‘mat’, ‘mdf’, ‘agi’, ‘luk’, ‘hp’, ‘mp’, or ‘tp’. This will make the skill or item target any living allied party member on the battlefield whose parameter value is a multiple of x.
NOTE: If you are using ‘level’, make sure you have YEP_EnemyLevels.js.
<Target: Foes param Multiple Of x>
Replace ‘param’ with ‘level’, ‘maxhp’, ‘maxmp’, ‘atk’, ‘def’, ‘mat’, ‘mdf’, ‘agi’, ‘luk’, ‘hp’, ‘mp’, or ‘tp’. This will make the skill or item target any living enemy battler on the battlefield whose parameter value is a multiple of x.
NOTE: If you are using ‘level’, make sure you have YEP_EnemyLevels.js.
— YEP_RowFormation.js and YEP_BattleEngineCore.js Required —
<Target: Enemy Row>
This will target the enemy row equal to that of the currently selected target enemy. The entire row will be selected as a whole.
<Target: Enemy Row x>
This will target specifically the enemy row x for the enemy unit. The entire row will be selected as a whole.
<Target: Front Enemy Row>
This will target the front-most enemy row with alive members. If there is a row without any alive members, this will target the next row with an alive member.
<Target: Back Enemy Row>
This will target the back-most enemy row with alive members. If there is a row without any alive members, this will target the next row with an alive member.
<Target: Ally Row>
This will target the enemy row equal to that of the currently selected target enemy. The entire row will be selected as a whole.
<Target: Ally Row x>
This will target specifically the allied row x for the allied unit. The entire row will be selected as a whole.

Lunatic Mode – Custom Target Help Text
For users that are proficient with JavaScript, these notetags can be used to provide custom help window text if you are also the Battle Engine Core.
Skill and Item Notetags:
<Custom Target Text>
text = $gameActors.actor(1).name();
text += ‘ and ‘ + $gameActors.actor(2).name();
</Custom Target Text>
The ‘text’ variable is the text that will appear in the help window. Any changes made to it will be what is visibly displayed.
Lunatic Mode – Custom Target Eval
For users that are proficient with JavaScript, these notetags can be used to make custom target selections. For the targeting aspect, this will refer to the skill/item’s current scope and the targets made here will be made independent of the scope with the exception of the target, where if a target is selected, it will become the ‘target’ value.
<Custom Target Eval>
for (var i = 0; i < foes.aliveMembers().length; ++i) {
var member = foes.aliveMembers()[i];
if (member.level % 3 === 0) targets.push(member);
}
</Custom Target Eval>
The ‘targets’ variable is an array that determines which are the targets to be used during the selection process. Push the desired targets into the ‘targets’ array.
Happy RPG Making!
