I'm rusty: Dealing with ATK and DEF directly.

[Magus]

Hey everyone, I've got a quick help need.

Can anyone suggest script calls that would let me increase  ATK and PDEF of a weapon?    (I'm using blizz-abs).

Example:  Main character is using a weapon with "FIXED" check.  He conducts training.   I want to increase ATK not STR. I am annoyed that rpg maker xp doesn't just stick with the basic stats of ATK, DEF, MAG, MDEF, SPEED.

Weapons already have an ATK property as well as a PDEF. Which is Physical Defense.

$data_weapons[ID].atk = 10
$data_weapons[ID].pdef = 10

Thanks, I appreciate it.

Keep in mind that this change doesn't get saved.

Ouch. So this is only a temporary boost?  Well, good for transformations, but I guess I'll just have to find someway to increase only the core stats:

Attack and defense for the fixed weapon.

Save the weapon to Game_System, just modify the Scene_Save/Load script.

[Blizzard]

That's not really a good way either, because it will mess up saved games if the database weapons are changed.

I meant save the attack and defense properties and when he loads them, re-add them to whatever weapon he chooses.
