VCM_ElementAffinity

Introduction

This plugin allows both actors and enemies to deal different damage (may be lower or higher) with one or more elements. Classes, states, weapons and/or armors can change their default values. The way Element Affinity stacks with multiple sources may be changed, as well as elemental damage calculations. No longer supported by the author.

Parameters Explanation

Element Affinity Calculation

This parameter specifies how Element Affinity stacks with multiple sources. Options include Higher Value, Average, Add and Multiply. For example, if an Actor's Element Affinity with 'Physical' is 1.5 and its class, 2:

Higher Value = 2;
Average = 1.75;
Add = 2.5 (1 is the default value so 1 is deducted from each extra source);
Multiply = 3;

Elemental Damage Calculation

This parameter specifies how elemental damage is calculated in-game. Options include Average, Add and Multiply. For example, if an Actor's Element Affinity with 'Physical' is 2 and its target's Element Rate for 'Physical', 0.5:

Average = 1.25;
Add = 1.5 (1 is the default value so 1 is deducted);
Multiply = 1;

The second must be set for each element, in the same order of Elements Tab in Types Database. Non-number values may cause errors. Values not set will be defaulted to 1. The actor's class, weapons, armors and/or states will also influence the actor's Element Affinity.

Armor Element Affinity

This parameter determines the Element Affinity of an armor. The first list must be set for each armor, in the same order of Armors Database. The second must be set for each element, in the same order of Elements Tab in Types Database. Non-number values may cause errors. Values not set will be defaulted to 1.

State Element Affinity
