Resource Glancing Hits 1.0.0

[Kotaro]

Kotaro submitted a new resource:

Glancing Hits - Basically a replacement for evasion in the form of inverse crits.

'ello Glancing Hits are a try to erase evasion and introduce reverse crits.
V20.1 adds glanced hits and doesn't remove evasion/replace moves for now!
How it works:
This mechanic basically acts like an inversed crit. For this move, the chance for this occurring is [24,16,8,4,4,2,1.5] where if this move lands the damage is multiplied by 0.75.

So the error occured when using Minimize/Double Team ? If yes did you change any of their Def before? And can you list what moves all cause this issue ?

Ive tried fixing the problem with evasion moves and i hope it works but i cant guarantee anything since i did not get these errors at all download link should be updated in a short time!

Kotaro updated Glancing Hits with a new update entry:

Evasion fix (hopefully)

A try at erasing evasion in a different way that hopefully wont break the game again.

Hmm then it seems like this script isnt compatible with either EBDX or the Gen 8 project i can try adjustin the script for that but it might take some time.

Kotaro updated Glancing Hits with a new update entry:

Fix for Compability with Gen 8/EBDX

Gotta note that if you have any custom moves/abilities with evasion you have to change those to instead affect glancing else it will either do nothing at all or crash as example heres how i changed minimize to affect evasion :

#===============================================================================
# Increases the user's evasion by 2 stages. Minimizes the user. (Minimize)      #by Kota
#===============================================================================

Working beautifully now :) Thank you for you hard work

 

[Cross Agento]

This is a really great resource! Thank you for this! It makes evasion more balanced and not have to entirely rely on rng. I originally just wanted to remove all evasion boosting moves, but this saves time and adds a pretty good mechanic to the game! Thank you for this!

 

[SethLikesCombusken]

is there a way you can make a part of the script to exclude certain moves (ie ohko moves) or make a way so that the script doesn't affect status moves so that something like hypnosis doesnt always hit?

edit: i realized ohko moves already go by evasion, it's just status moves that now all seem to hit with 100% accuracy

Kotaro updated Glancing Hits with a new update entry:

Fixed an issue with the Accuracy calculation now everything should work properly.

Already updated the download link so just redownload and enjoy!

Something i forgot to mention overall inside the 001_GLANCEDHITS.rb/txt you can find the def pbIsGlanced? at around line 434 if you manipulate the variable g in there you can guarantee glances or turn them off entirely.
Also if you want to change the chances for Glancing Hits to occur entirely you'd have to change the ratios above the variable g.

Kotarooooo, when will this be coming to v20? If you intend on doing that, that is; no stress lmao :)

maybe tomorrow since i do want to add some stuff and see if there are any new moves/abilities inside v20 that affect evasion the base of glancing hits already works

 

[Kotaro]

Kotaro updated Glancing Hits with a new update entry:

So just to make sure I understand this right, this works pretty much the same way evasion does if neither Pokémon has any changes to their glance stacks right? The number chain in the description was a little confusing so just want to verify before using it :D

No it works like Critical Hits, but moves and abilities that previously increased evasion increase your Glanced Hit Chance like for example Focus Energy does for Critical Hits.
And the number chain is the chance of a critical/glanced hit occuring.
