[VX] [REQUEST] Hidden States

Using a talent tree system, I'm setting up a tree entirely comprised of passive bonuses for the character. Unfortunately, I can only find a script that adds stats by % to max health and max mp (for all other stats, it must be a flat number, and I want % increases). I found a way around it, which is to have the abilities add states that increases the stats by %, except now my problem is that I'm gonna have like 3089475238589342757438524385723489752348975894758972389758942307534897542375089378934589 states active on the player at once. Can anyone write me a script that'll let me hide states through use of a tag?

Example:
State: Titan Strength
Effect: Increases attack by 5%
(under states, change the attack benefit to 105%)
note tag box: <hidden>, or (hidden), or [hidden]


Can anyone whip this up real quick, or provide another way to do it?

Sounds pretty simple. I'll give it a crack.

holy shit that was fast. Thanks a bunch man.

While you're at it, can you write me, or point me to a script that allows the display of more info?
What I mean is, for example, the database's "description" box for skills and items doesn't give a lot of room, but when you look at it ingame, it appears to take up only 1 line of an at least 2 - 3 line box. Is there anyway I can get it to give me more room to add longer/more in-depth descriptions?

Example:
(not exact, but just to give you the idea)
Spell: Inferno Shield
Description: Wraps the user in a fiery shield, increasing fire resistance, ca            <- and then it cuts off

What I want:
Description: Wraps the user in a fiery shield, increasing fire resistance, causing damage when struck physically, and increasing fire damage dealt by 50%. 5 Turn Duration. 9 Turn Cooldown.

Put this at the top of your materials list. Use \hidden in the notebox to hide a state.

# Put \hidden in the notebox of a state you want to be hidden.

# It is advised to put this script at the top of your materials list.

class RPG::State
  def hidden?
    return !self.note[/\\HIDDEN/i].nil?
  end
end

class Window_Base
  def draw_actor_state(actor, x, y, width = 96)
    count = 0
    for state in actor.states
      next if state.hidden?
      draw_icon(state.icon_index, x + 24 * count, y)
      count += 1
      break if (24 * count > width - 24)
    end
  end
end

As for your other thing, I think KGC had a script for that...
