Random Repeats MV
By default, RPG Maker allows you to have skills or items repeat a certain amount of times when you use them. For example, if you want an attack to always hit two times, you would set the “repeat” field to 2.
However, what if you wanted to create a skill or item that will repeat a random number of times between a given range?
This plugin gives you the ability to do just that quickly and easily!
Download
Plugin: download here (right-click and save as)
Installation
Download the plugin and place it in the “plugins” folder in your project’s “js” folder. Then open your Plugin Manager (F10), double-click an empty row, and select the RandomRepeats plugin.
Once it is in your list of plugins, turn the plugin on.
Usage
Note-tag skills or items with
<random repeats: min max>
Where the min is the minimum number of times the skill will repeat, and the max is the maximum number of times the skill will repeat.
A random number is generated from this range.
For example, if you want a skill to repeat between 0 and 5 times, you can note-tag the skill with
<random repeats: 0 5>
For advanced users, you can edit the plugin to customize the way the random number is generated. Currently it uses a very simple non-uniform distribution dependent on javascript’s random function.
this plugin isnt in your MV plugins page so people who might be interested in this plugin may not notice it
and yes it works with yanfly plugins afaik
is this compatable with yanflys battle engine?
I am not sure, but you can try it out and let me know.
This is great! It feels more “rewarding” having a chance of hitting a lot of times than always hitting the same amount with a chance to miss each hit.
Neat stuff! This reminds me of the Goblin Punch ability from the Final Fantasy series. ^^
The example I was thinking of was some pokemon attacks where you randomly hit 2 to 8 times or something. But there’s definitely a lot of use cases.
