[VX] Adding Pop Damage

Hopefully this is the proper place as opposed to Script Requests. Apologies if it isn't.

To get right to the point, I've modified KGC Guard Recover to work with KGC Skill CP System to allow for an equippable skill that that causes them recover HP (and optionally MP) when they use the guard command. It functions well enough, in that HP and MP do seem to recover when the actors are defending.

However now I want/need to add a little polish; since I'm also using Tankentai SBS with ATB, I need to go one step further and have the recover numbers pop up.

So, can anyone help me figure out how to go about doing that? I'm learning Ruby at a snail's pace, and could use some assistance.


Here's the modified version of the script

#_/  This script allows you to add HP/MP Recovery percentiles to the battle

#_/  * Note from the translator: I had previously ported this script myself,
#_/     this official KGC port however, is a bit more cleanly coded.

And here is a demo that includes the basic Tankentai with ATB, Skill CP System, and Guard Recovery script.

I'm using many more scripts in my projects (around 100 by my last count!), but I think these are the only ones that would interact in any ways that would cause compatibility issues and I'm sure it's more appreciated if I not bog down a demo with a lot of code that might not be relevant.

Either way, thanks in advance for reading this, and I hope someone can give me a hand!
