What are State Definitions†

A "state" can be granted to a terrain or skill, which, during the game, changes the cast's abilities or behavior.
You can create a "poison swamp" by giving the terrain a poisonous state, or if you give it to a skill, you can create "paralyzing attack magic" or "magic that increases the attack power of allies".
This section specifies the effects of the various states on the ability and the conditions under which they are released.

Function Description†

• Add
  Add a state.

• Add Folder
  Create a folder.

• Copy
  Copy the data in the selected state.

• Paste
  Paste the data in the copied state into the last column.

• Delete
  Delete state data.

• Management Tags + Notes
  You can add management tags and jot down memorandums.
  Tags are registered by adding # to the beginning of the line. Tags and notes entered in this field will not appear in the game.
   
  (!)When specifying multiple tags, please DO NOT leave spaces between them.
  If you put #atk#def, it will be displayed regardless of whether you filter by #atk or #def.
  if you put a space like #atk #def, it will not be displayed when you filter by #atk, but only when you filter by #def.

State Definition Properties†

• Name
  Enter a name for the state.
  You can also write a description of the state.

• Icon Image
  Specify an icon image of this state to be displayed in the game.

• Motion When Used
  Specify the motion to be displayed when the cast becomes in this "state".

Influence of State Change†

Basic Settings†

Specify basic information such as the probability of changing to a "state" and the conditions under which the "state" ability is removed.

• Success Rate
  Specify the probability that the cast will actually change to this state when the conditions for this change are met.
  For example, if an attack is made with a weapon that has "sleep" as an attack attribute, and the attack hits the opponent, this success rate is referenced when determining whether the opponent is actually going to "sleep".
  A random number between 0 and 100 is compared with the "Resistance to State" of the attack target, and if the random number exceeds it, the "state" is granted.

• Multiplexing
  Specifies the behavior when the same cast is affected by this "state" again while it continues to have this "state" ability.

  Disable	This “state” cannot be multiplexed.
  Removal Condition: Overwriting"	This “state” can be multiplexed. When the multiplexing is applied, the ongoing release condition will be overwritten (reset). Example: If the condition for removal turn is 3, when a multiplexing is performed while the number of turns remaining to removal is 1, it will be counted from turn 0 again.
  Removal Condition: Adding	This “state” can be multiplexed. When a multiplexing is performed, a new removal condition will be added to the ongoing removal condition. Example: If the condition for removal turn is 3, and a multiplexing is performed while the number of remaining turns to removal is 1, the original condition for removal turn 3 is added to the number of remaining turns, and the number of remaining turns to removal becomes 4.

• Assign Terrain State Change
  Assign this "state" to which terrain state change.
  For example, if "State A" is assigned to "sleep" and "sleep" is turned on in Resources > Terrains > State Change player will be in "Sleep" = "State A".

• Move to Back of the Party while Granted
  If turned on, a cast member who becomes in this state during a battle will automatically move to the end of the party member lineup.
  This feature is enabled when Game Definition > Rules and Operations>"Rearrange by State During Battle" is on.

• Removal Condition
  Specify the conditions under which this "state" is to be removed.

• When Battle Ends
  When turned on, the ability is lost at the end of the battle.

• Number of Turns(In Battles)
  When turned on, the ability is removed at the end of the battle.

• Probability(%)(In Battles)
  A judgement is made on each turn during battle, and the ability is lost with a specified probability.

• Cumulative Damage(In Battles)
  If the HP takes more than the specified amount of cumulative damage from the time it enters this "state," it loses its ability.
  Only damage received during battles is affected; damage received on maps does not affect the judgement.
  Damage values are added across battles.

• Time (Sec)(On Map)
  The ability disappears after a specified number of seconds on the map.

• Change in Appearance When Applied
  Specify the appearance to be taken when the target enters this “state”.
  If multiple “states” are assigned, the most recently assigned “state” will be applied.

• Display in Translucent (In Battles)
  The target with this “status” will appear translucent during battles.

• Display Color (In Battles)
  The color of the target graphic with this “state” will be multiplied by the color assigned in this section during battles.

• Display in Translucent (On Maps)
  The target with this “state” will appear translucent when it is on maps.

• Display Color (On Maps)
  When a target with this “state” is on maps, its graphic color will be multiplied by the color assigned in this section.

• Message
  Specify the message text to be displayed when the cast changes to this "state" during battle.
  The text specified here will be displayed in Layout Tool > Battle Messages.

• When Activated on Ally
  Enter a message when an ally becomes in this state.

• When Activated on Opponent
  Enter a message when the opponent becomes in this state.

• When State Continues
  Enter a message when this state continues.

• When State Ends
  Enter a message when this state ends.

State Abilities†

Specify the ability when the cast enters this "state".
The Add button opens the "Ability Selector Dialog".
Selecting an ability closes a dialog that allows you to specify the parameters of the ability (e.g., the amount of damage for automatic damage).

• Ability Selector
  Switch to "Category" and select the "Ability" that you wish to specify.
  If you specify an "ability" that can only be set to one "state", it will not appear in this dialog.
  
   

• Abnormal Action

• Unable to Act (In Battles)
  It is the ability to become incapable of action during battle.

• Auto Attack (In Battles)
  The ability to ignore input commands during battle and attack the assigned cast.
  If selected YES, it will ignore input commands and attack other cast members during battle.

• Auto Damage (In Battles:(HP))
  It is an ability that automatically causes damage to be incurred for each Consumption Status consumed in each assigned turn during battle.
  The status name in parentheses () indicates the consumption value for which the ability is targeted.
  The Edit button opens a dialog where you can enter the following parameters.

  Target	You can select the consumption value for which damage is to be inflicted.
  Damage Parameter (Battle)	Assigns a damage value. Depending on the Damage Type setting, the value specified will either be treated as a “direct value” or as a “rate (%)”. Specifying a negative value will result in the ability to automatically recover the consumption value.
  Damage Type (Battle)	Specifies how the values set in the damage parameter are treated when affecting the target consumption value. "Direct Value": The specified value is treated as an as-is value. "Rate (Current Value)": The specified value is treated as a rate (%) of the current consumption value. "Rate (Max Value)": The specified number is treated as a rate (%) of the maximum consumption value.
  Frequency (Battle Turns)	Specify how many turns of damage will occur each turn.
  Minimum Value	Specifies the lower limit of the consumption value when this ability reduces the consumption value of the target. For example, if “1” is set in the “Lower Limit”, the status will never fall below “1” even if it continues to be affected by effects such as “Poison”.

• Auto Damage (On Maps:(HP))
  It is the ability to automatically cause damage to the Consumption Status consumption value every assigned number of seconds on the map.
  The status name in parentheses () indicates the consumption value for which the ability is targeted.
  The Edit button opens a dialog where you can enter the following parameters.

  Target	You can select the consumption value for which damage is to be inflicted.
  Damage Parameter (Maps)	Assigns a damage value. Depending on the Damage Type setting, the value specified will either be treated as a “direct value” or as a “rate (%)”. Specifying a negative value will result in the ability to automatically recover the consumption value.
  Damage Type (Map)	When affecting the target consumption values, specify how the values set in the damage parameter are to be treated. "Direct Value": The specified value is treated as an as-is value. "Rate (Current Value)": The specified value is treated as a rate (%) of the current consumption value. "Rate (Max Value)": The specified number is treated as a rate (%) of the maximum consumption value.
  Occurrence Period (Seconds on Map)	Specify how many seconds the damage will occur.
  Minimum Value	Specifies the lower limit of the consumption value when this ability reduces the consumption value of the target. For example, if “1” is set in the “Lower Limit”, the status will never fall below “1” even if it continues to be affected by effects such as “Poison”.

• Force Granting Below a Certain Value
  The ability to force a cast to enter this "state" when the consumption value of an assigned consumption status is less than a specified rate of its maximum value.
  For an ability, you can specify the consumption value at which the ability is judged to be triggered and the threshold at which it is triggered when the consumption value falls below a certain rate.

• Disable Command
  Assigning a “tag” to a battle command disables the ability to select that command from the battle command menu.
  Assign the default tags such as “Attack” and “Skill” or the tags specified in the “Battle Command Menu” under Database > Casts > Battles.
  (!)This ability is to “disable command selection”. Therefore, it cannot disable a monster's “action by battle action AI”. Note that it is currently not possible to block a monster's skills during battles, for example.

• State Disabling
  The cast member receiving this ability will not change to the assigned "state".
  For example, if the "State Disabling (Poison)" ability is enabled, the cast will not be "poisoned".

• State Changes (When Granted)
  Assigns an additional “state” to the target.

• If “Not Granted” is assigned, the specified “state” is granted to the target cast when it is not in that state.
  For example, if you assign [State Changes (When Granted) - Not Granted - “Sleep”] as the “poison” ability, then when a cast member who is not poisoned is put into the “poison” state by an event, “Sleep” will also be given to the cast member.

• If “Granted” is assigned, then the specified “state” will be granted when the target cast member is in the “state”.
  For example, if you assign “State Changes (When Granted) - Granted - ‘Deadly Poison’” as the “Poison” ability, then when the “poisoned” cast is “poisoned” by an event, “Deadly Poison” will also be granted to them.
  (!)If the cast is not “poisoned” in the above example, this ability is disabled.
  (!)This ability will not work unless the “State” Multiplexing setting is specified as other than "Disable".　　　　　　　
  (!)It is recommended to specify the ability to remove the poison condition together with this ability.

• State Recovery (When Granted)
  Recover an assigned “state”.
  (!)Unlike the “state disabling” ability, this ability only removes the “state” once.

• State Change (When Removed)
  When this “state” is removed, the assigned “state” is granted to the target.
  However, if the “state” is disabled by a “State Disabling” ability, this ability will not work.

  Always	When this “state” is removed except by “State Disabling”, the assigned “state” is given.
  At Removal Condition	When this “state” is removed by the “Removal Condition”, the assigned “state” is given.
  At State Recovery	When this “state” is recovered by a skill, state, etc., or in other words, when this “state” is removed except by a “Removal Condition,” the assigned “state” is given.

• Ability Enhancement
  It is the ability to change the value of each status.
  The range of change can be specified as a direct value or as a rate.
  Values can be specified between -999999 and 999999.
  If assigned as a rate, the current ability value will be changed by multiplying the current ability value by the rate (%).
  Ex. If the rate is 50, the current ability value will be increased by 50% multiplied by the current ability value.
  This ability, like the item, is valid not only in battle, but also on maps.
   
  There is a limit to the final status value that considers the increase or decrease value due to abilities.
  Please check the Growth Factors section.
  Ex. The status of the keyword "mhp" (default name is "Max HP") cannot be less than 1.

• Raise in Resistance (Attributes)
  This ability increases the resistance to the “attribute” of the target cast by a value. (Specifying a negative value will decrease the resistance.)

• Raise in Resistance (State)
  This ability increases the resistance to the “state” of the target cast by a value. (Specifying a negative value will decrease the resistance.)

• Equipment
  It is the ability to influence the removal and attachment of equipment.
  You can choose the following abilities for each designated equipment body part.

  No Change	It does not affect anything about the current equipment ability. In other words, if they already have the "Equipment Fixed/Disabled" ability, the "Equipment Fixed/Disabled" will not be removed even if they enter a "state" in which they have this ability.
  Fixed	Currently equipped equipment cannot be removed.
  Disabled	They will no longer be able to equip items at the assigned equipment body parts.

• Influence on Battles
  It is the ability to influence during battle.
  For each parameter, you can specify a value between -9999 and 9999.
  (!)The values applied to each party member are combined and have the ability to affect the outcome.
  However, please keep in mind the following:
  • It does not include the ability of reserve members.
  • The ability to receive from the same "state" is not duplicated.
    For example, the abilities of member 1 and member 2 from the same "state A" are not combined.
    On the other hand, the abilities of member 1 and member 2 from "state A" and "state B", respectively, are combined.

• Add Attack Count
  It is the ability to change the number of attacks by the number entered.

• Preemptive Attack Rate (%)
  The ability to add or subtract the entered value (%) to or from the Preemptive Attack Rate (%).
  For example, "25" would increase the Preemptive Attack Rate by 25%.
  The values applied to each party member for this ability are added together to affect the result.

• Critical Hit Rate (%)
  The ability to add or subtract the entered number (%) to or from the Critical Hit Rate (%).
  For example, "25" will increase the Critical Hit Rate by 25%.

• Max Damage/Recovery Amount
  This is the ability to add the specified value to the "Basic Max Damage/Recovery Amount" for this game set in [[Game Definition>Rules and Operations].

• Reward Price (%)
  The ability to add or subtract the entered value (%) to or from the rate of Reward Price (%) that can be obtained from defeated enemies after the battle.
  For example, "25" would increase the Reward Price by 25%.
  The values applied to each party member for this ability are added together to affect the result.

• EXP Growth Rate(%)
  The ability to add or subtract the entered number (%) to or from the rate (%) of the amount of EXP gained from the defeated enemy after the battle. For example, "25" will increase the EXP gained by 25%.

• Item Drop Rate (%)
  The ability to add or subtract the entered value (%) to the Item Drop Rate (%) that can be obtained from defeated enemies after the battle.
  For example, "25" would increase the drop rate by 25%.
  The values applied to each party member for this ability are added together to affect the result.

• Change in Targetability (%)
  The ability to add or subtract the entered number (%) to or from the targetability (%).
  The higher the value, the more likely it is to be targeted as an attack target.
  The actual target of the attack depends on the relative targetability values of each party member and the "Personality" of the enemy, which is specified in Database > Casts > Battles.

• Map Movement
  It is the ability to influence when moving around maps.
  (!)The values applied to each party member are combined and have the ability to affect the outcome.
  However, please keep in mind the following:
  • It does not include the ability of reserve members.
  • The ability to receive from the same "state" is not duplicated.
    For example, the abilities of member 1 and member 2 from the same "state A" are not combined.
    On the other hand, the abilities of member 1 and member 2 from "state A" and "state B", respectively, are combined.

• Change in Number of Encounters (%)
  The ability to add or subtract the entered number (%) to or from the rate (%) of encounters with enemies.
  The position on the map where the player is affects the number of enemies specified in the Map Editor > Map Settings palette > Enemy Distribution.

• Change in Encounter Rate (%)
  The ability to add or subtract the entered number (%) to or from the encounter probability (%) with enemies.
  The position on the map where the player is affects the number of enemies specified in the Map Editor > Map Settings palette > Enemy Distribution.
  The values applied to each party member for this ability are added together to affect the result.
  As a result of this ability, if the encounter probability is 0%, the enemy will not be encountered.

• Increase Movement Speed (%)
  The ability to add or subtract the entered number (%) to or from the rate (%) of the player's movement speed.
  For example, "25" will increase the movement speed of by 25%.
  The values applied to each party member for this ability are added together to affect the result.
  As a result of this ability, if the movement speed (%) is reduced to 0%, it will not be able to move.

• Move to Back of Party Train
  The ability allows the cast member in this "state" to move to the tail end of the Party Train.
