Affecting targetting with equipment? (Yanfly Engine Melody)

I want to have weapons and armor affect the targetting of certain skills - staffs (staves?) add targets to magical skills, knuckles and claws add hits to physical attacks, heavy armor reduces targets and/or hits from physical skills, and so on. I'm using Yanfly Engine Melody for this project, and I can't seem to find a setting for this. Does anyone know of a script - or a setting in the YEM scripts - that will make this possible? Any help is appreciated.

Notetags, it's everything in the notetag description, and in the script(s) instructions.

Sorry it took me so long to respond.

But um. I feel a little dumb asking this, but I don't see a notetag option anywhere that will go in a weapon or equip notebox. That was originally what I was looking for. it possible for weapons and armor to dynamically modify the targetting settings with YEM?

Oh I see, sorry, I misunderstood your request. You're right, target notetags work on Skills and Items only, there isn't an option for Equipment and Weapons.

knuckles and claws add hits to physical attacks

If by "adding hits to phisical attack" you mean raising the ATK parameter, you can use <equip atk: +x>.

heavy armor reduces targets and/or hits from physical skills

To reduce hits you could raise evasion, same notetag as above, except change atk to eva.
No idea how you could impact targeting though.



Sorry I cannot be of more help D:

I'm not sure, but you may be looking for Shanghai's addon Weapon Attack Replace. You may also want to look into Modern Algebra's Note Editor for other kinds of updates.
