YERD_ElementAffinities & YERD_Bestiary

right, here's the problem i currently face...

i have both YERD_BestiaryScan and YERD_ElementAffinity installed in scripts right now, in order to gain access to the Z element and absorbtion/weakness/resistance rates for monsters armour and weapons etc.

i use <element rank set 9:Z> as my monster tag to set fire (9) to Z rank damage modifier.

Code: [Select]

# <element rank set x:y>
# x is the ID of the element you wish to affect. y is either [Z,A,B,C,D,E,F].
# This will set the element of battler to exactly that. There is a rule set of
# priorities. They'll be determined by the highest rank state, then weapons, and
# finally armours from top to bottom. With that said, you can place these into
# weapons, equips, and states.
#
# Elemental control for normal attacks can be applied via states, weapons, and
# equips for actors and states and enemy data for enemies.

however putting this into my enemy note box does nothing.

what i am looking for is for not only the elemental affinities to work but also translate the z rank from the notebox but to the bestiary as what i have set as a custom icon as 5 stars.


this could be where i am going wrong as it states this...

Code: [Select]

# Compatibility
# - Requires: Yanfly Engine, Custom Damage Formula
# - Overwrites: Game_Battler, element_rate, elements_max_rate
# - Overwrites: Game_Actor, element_rate, element_set
# - Overwrites: Game_Enemy, element_rate

i am unsure as to which part of which engine it is referring to however these are the scripts i am currently using

scripts i am currently using:
(plus some are just there as i tried to add a script to fix it myself)

if there's anything you'd like to rip while you look at my problem, go ahead (e.g. database items ... took me ages to do them all, and still nowhere near finished... i've barely scratched the surface)


oh and also note, i've mainly only worked on scripts and items/weapons/armours... mapping and quests etc. are still in the prehistoric era of evolution. i am planning on this game being a huge non-comercial game final fantasy length, hence mountains of items and limit breakers and monster space.

bump

+2 days of trying to sort out the problem, i waited the 24 hours to bump again... the problem isn't in my script it seems, the demo/s i've seen it on do not have the ElementAffinities script working at all for some reason... i add <element rank set 9:Z> or <element rank sub 9:3> in an enemies notebox and it doesn't work at all which puzzles me because if it's on a demo it should work.
