Tips & Tricks – Aura of Sacrifice (World of WarCraft) – RPG Maker MV

The Aura of Sacrifice is an aura effect that comes from the Paladin class in the World of WarCraft. In WoW’s case, the Paladin will take a percentage of the damage nearby allies receive. However, this time, we’ll be doing a spin on this effect and move 100% of the damage over to the paladin and then reduce the amount of damage the Paladin receives! Here’s how to recreate it!

You can grab the copy/paste code here: Place the following Lunatic Mode code into your Aura Effect State’s notebox. Change the values in red to reflect your game’s settings.

<Custom React Effect>
// Check if the action dealt HP damage
if (this.isHpEffect() && value > 0) {
  // Get the target's allies
  var members = target.friendsUnit().aliveMembers();
  // Get the Aura's Origin State ID
  var auraOriginId = 246;
  // Make the origin user undefined
  var auraOriginUser = undefined;
  // Loop through each member
  for (var i = 0; i < members.length; ++i) {
    // Get the currently looped member
    var member = members[i];
    // Check if the member exists, isn't the target, and is the aura holder
    if (member && member !== target && member.isStateAffected(auraOriginId)) {
      // Set the origin user to that member
      auraOriginUser = member;
      // Break the loop
      break;
    }
  }
  // Check if the origin user exists
  if (auraOriginUser) {
    // Calculate the amount of reduction
    var reduction = Math.ceil(0.50 * value);
    // Set the damage to the target to 0.
    value = 0;
    // Make the origin user take damage instead.
    auraOriginUser.gainHp(-reduction);
    // Display an animation on the origin user.
    auraOriginUser.startAnimation(2);
    // Make the origin user display a damage popup.
    auraOriginUser.startDamagePopup();
    // Check if the origin user is dead
    if (auraOriginUser.isDead()) {
      // Collapse the origin user if dead
      auraOriginUser.performCollapse();
    }
    // Clear the origin user's results
    auraOriginUser.clearResult();
  }
}
</Custom React Effect>
