Okay, I managed to fix it! Want me to include the code here so future versions can include it? It changes the Guard status to be removed at the beginning of the next allied turn instead of at the end of the allied turn.
Viewing post in I've changed from the comments to the community board
Code to remove guard from allies at the beginning of allied turn (replaces same function)
BattleManager.MakeAllyTurns = function () {
for (const battler of $gameTroop.members().concat($gameParty.members())) {
battler.removeState(2);
}
pressTurnBattle.allyBattlersTurns = $gameParty.aliveMembers().length - stunnedAlies();
pressTurnBattle.allyBattlersTurnsCheck = pressTurnBattle.allyBattlersTurns;
if (pressTurnParams.BasedOnAmountOfTeamsMembers === "true") {
pressTurnBattle.allyBattlersTurnsMax = pressTurnBattle.allyBattlersTurns * Number(pressTurnParams.MaxTurnsPerBattler);
}
else pressTurnBattle.allyBattlersTurnsMax = Number(pressTurnParams.MaxTeamsTurns);
}
and then to remove the guard status if they use another skill i added to the startaction function
var BattleManager_startAction_Mine = BattleManager.startAction;
BattleManager.startAction = function () {
BattleManager_startAction_Mine.call(this);
if(this._action.item().skillId != $dataSkills[this._action.subject().guardSkillId()]){
this._action.subject().removeState(2);
}
if(!this._action.item().note.includes("<Don't lose turn>")) { pressTurnBattle.turnIndex++;}
if (pressTurnBattle.alliesTurns){
if(!this._action.item().note.includes("<Don't skip turn>")) {
pressTurnBattle.allyBattlersTurns--;
pressTurnBattle.gainedTurn = false;
}
if (pressTurnBattle.turnIndex === $gameParty.aliveMembers().length){ pressTurnBattle.turnIndex = 0;}
BattleManager.drawPressIcons();
}
else {
pressTurnBattle.enemyBattlersTurns--;
if (pressTurnBattle.turnIndex === $gameTroop.aliveMembers().length) pressTurnBattle.turnIndex = 0;
}
}Feel free to use it! (You'd also have to remove the existing use of this._action.subject().removeState(2))
I think it would benefit the plugin because I'm not sure if guarding works correctly the way it's written right now, I'd have to test it out because while it was showing the guard animation, it seemed like it wasn't calculating the effect.
I would also recommend having a note telling players to remove the "Auto-removal Timing" that RPG Maker MV has on by default for the Guard State if you do this, because I think those might conflict with each other.
Ultimately up to you if you use it, but I'd definitely recommend it!
