Tips & Tricks – Jump (Final Fantasy 4) – RPG Maker MV

Yanfly Engine Plugins is a plugin library made for RPG Maker MV, a wonderful piece of software to help you make that role playing game of your dreams. You can find out more about RPG Maker MV here.

Jump, a skill used by Dragoons from the Final Fantasy series, is a skill that launches the user up into the sky for a few turns. After those turns are up, the user lands on the target dealing significant damage. While the user is up in the air, the user becomes unselectable, making the user immune to damage and status effects.

** NOTE ** If you are using ATB or CTB, make sure under Battle Engine Core, you have Timed States and Timed Buffs set to true. This effect should work fine with DTB or any other turn based system.

You can grab the copy/paste code here:
