Tips & Tricks – Perfection of the Maestro (Everquest 2) – 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.

In Everquest 2, the ability Perfection of the Maestro makes it so that when any offensive spell is used against the party, the whole party gets a buff to their magical power. Here’s how we can recreate the effect in RPG Maker MV!

You can grab the copy/paste code here: 


Insert 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 maestro effect hasn't occurred and if the action deals magical damage
if (!this._maestrobuffed && this.isMagical() && this.isHpEffect() && value > 0) {
  // Set the maestro effect to have occurred
  this._maestrobuffed = true;
  // Get the target's alive allies
  var members = target.friendsUnit().aliveMembers();
  // Loop through each ally
  for (var i = 0; i < members.length; ++i) {
    // Get the currently looped ally
    var member = members[i];
    // Check if the member exists
    if (member) {
      // Get the paramID for MAT
      var buffId = 4;
      // The number of turns to make the buff last
      var turns = 5;
      // Play an animation on the target
      member.startAnimation(51);
      // Add the buff to the target
      member.addBuff(buffId, turns);
    }
  }
}
</Custom React Effect>
