Sometimes, we’d like to add additional effects to our actions in battle. These effects can range from adding more HP, applying a new state to the user after everything else has happened, removing debuffs, playing an animation, or even absorbing a fraction of all the total damage directly dealt by the action this turn. This Lunatic Pack provides a new batch of effects that you can use to empower your items and skills, or to even globalize them as a result of states.

*NOTE*: This plugin is best used with RPG Maker MV version 1.5.0+. You can still use this plugin with a lower version number, but you will have a much harder time altering the plugin parameters without it.

Lunatic Mode – Effect Code

For experienced users that know JavaScript and have RPG Maker MV 1.5.0+, you can add new notetag effects that can be used by the plugin or alter the effects of currently existing notetag effects from the plugin parameters entry: Effect Code. It should look something like this:

—

// ---------
// Animation
// ---------
if (data.match(/ANIMATION[ ](\d+)/i)) {
  var animationId = parseInt(RegExp.$1);
  var mirror = data.match(/MIRROR/i);
  if (data.match(/DELAY[ ](\d+)/i)) {
    var delay = parseInt(RegExp.$1);
  } else {
    var delay = 0;
  }
  user.startAnimation(animationId, mirror, delay);

...

// -------------------------------
// Add new effects above this line
// -------------------------------
} else {
  skip = true;
}
