shield break?

[polar_fawkes]

heya!

i was thinking, it would be great if shields gave taunt via yanfly's taunt plugin, but they had a set number of times they could taunt? ie a wooden buckler would break after that actor is hit with physical damage 25-30 times, a silk cloak with magic taunt would break after the actor wearing it takes magic damage 15 times.

is this doable?

or a fixed % chance on each type of hit. ie wooden buckler breaks 20% of time, iron tower shield 2%

Not right now you can't have the durability function, but Yanfly has a plugin list that he said he wanted to work on it... but enough people need to vote on it. I give it a few more weeks though, because I think enough people would want that.

Now for the Taunting, I feel like if you look a little more into variables you can achieve what you're looking for here.

there are many ways to do it, you can use yanfly auto passive states and associate the taunt to a state (use the passive plugin to determine when you will be able to have taunt)

you can also make a common event to every attack that will check if the player have a shield, and make the event add +1 to a variable of your choice. Them you make a conditional with the variable and the max amount of taunts you want (ex: if v[1] = 25) and make a command to remove the shield from the actor and reset the variable. The only problem would be that you wouldn't be able to have more than one of each item, but you could repair it by changing the variable, you could decide wich attacks would affect each weapon and you could make a lot of things based on the duration, including changing graphics, warnings, debuffs and etc....

To solve that you could use the item index instead od the ID, but i'm not sure of how to do that.

see if this can be of any help

hey guys, posted this the day before they announced item durability, which will solve my issue. thanks for the creative alternatives! @eivl i will explore your solution for enchanted shields, as it might be a great refillable currency for things like elemental absorption. (refill via 'soul gems' or something analogous)
