Core Engine VisuStella MZ Battle Core VisuStella MZ VisuStella MZ This plugin is a part of the VisuStella MZ Plugin Library. Click here if you want to help support VisuStella on Patreon. Introduction With the aid of Pixi JS Filters, this plugin adds more impact to battle by producing special on screen filter effects to make certain actions like critical hits, guarding, and dodging more visibly different adding to the flavor of the battle. This plugin also adds new Action Sequences for the Battle Core, allowing impacting effects like color breaks, motion blurs, shockwaves, motion trails, and zoom blurs. Features include all (but not limited to) the following: Creating a color break effect when landing critical hits akin to a chromatic aberration effect. A battler who dodges an attack will display a motion blur effect. Guarding damage will cause a shockwave effect. Adds new Action Sequences available from the Battle Core Plugin Commands. Requirements This plugin is made for RPG Maker MZ. This will not work in other iterations of RPG Maker. Required Plugin List Pixi JS Filters* Core Engine VisuStella MZ Battle Core VisuStella MZ This plugin requires the above listed plugins to be installed inside your game's Plugin Manager list in order to work. You cannot start your game with this plugin enabled without the listed plugins. Note: You can download the Pixi JS Filters plugin library from the below URL or from the Action Sequence Impact product page. Install it as a Tier 0 plugin. Note2: Pixi JS Filters perform differently on different machines/devices. Please understand that this is outside of VisuStella's control. URL: PixiJS Tier 3 This plugin is a Tier 3 plugin. Place it under other plugins of lower tier value on your Plugin Manager list (ie: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5). This is to ensure that your plugins will have the best compatibility with the rest of the VisuStella MZ Plugin library. New Effects The following are new visual effects added through this plugin. These visual effects are added and modified with the sense of adding more impact to visuals in battle. --- Bizarro Inversion Swaps the blue/red colors on the battlefield. What was originally blue will become red and what was originally red will become blue. Anything that is attached to the battlefield will be affected. UI objects, pictures, etc. that aren't attached to the battlefield will not be affected by the effect. Depending on your settings, this may or may not include battle animations, too. --- Color Break When a critical hit occurs, the colors on the screen will break apart into red, green, and blue into random directions and then come back together similar to a chromatic aberration. This creates a sense of weight when delivering a powerful strike. This is optional and can be disabled. This effect is also available as an Action Sequence in the Battle Core. --- Desaturation Desaturates all colors on the battlefield. This will result in a black and white greyscale effect. Anything that is attached to the battlefield will be affected. UI objects, pictures, etc. that aren't attached to the battlefield will not be affected by the effect. Depending on your settings, this may or may not include battle animations, too. Created by Manu Gaming! --- Motion Blur When a battler dodges an attack (either a miss or evasion proc), then the battler will generate a motion blur effect. Their image splits apart in a blurred manner and then fuses back together to become whole again. This generates the illusion that they're hard to hit. This is optional and can be disabled. This effect is also available as an Action Sequence in the Battle Core. There are two versions, one that affects only the battler while another that affects the whole screen. --- Negative Inversion Inverts all colors on the battlefield. They pretty much swap 180 degrees of hue with whatever color is on the opposite side. Anything that is attached to the battlefield will be affected. UI objects, pictures, etc. that aren't attached to the battlefield will not be affected by the effect. Depending on your settings, this may or may not include battle animations, too. Created by Manu Gaming! --- Oversaturation Oversaturates all colors on the battlefield. Colors will become extra vivid and look extremely concentrated. Brighter colors become brighter while darker colors become darker. Anything that is attached to the battlefield will be affected. UI objects, pictures, etc. that aren't attached to the battlefield will not be affected by the effect. Depending on your settings, this may or may not include battle animations, too. --- Shockwave When a guarding battler would receive HP damage (or manages to defend to 0 damage), a shockwave effect occurs to display the impact. The shockwave will ripple out from the battler to the edges of the screen before disappearing. This is optional and can be disabled. This effect is also available as an Action Sequence in the Battle Core. --- Motion Trail If motion trails are enabled on a battler, whenever they move, they leave behind a residual sprite of their motion during that particular frame. The motion blurs aid in visualizing the path the battler moved in case the battler's movement trajectory is normally too fast to portray. Motion trails can have different hue and/or tones. This is an Action Sequence-only effect. --- Time Scale This causes time to go slower or faster depending on the settings. All things related to the game client will go slower or faster. This only affects battle. The effects go away during the input phase or when a message is present. Created by Manu Gaming! --- Time Stop The game client will pause time for set amount of time, only the music and any sound effects continuing. Created by Manu Gaming! --- Zoom Blur A zoom blur will direct its focus at a specific point on the screen and create a visual radial distortion towards that point. The intensity of the zoom effect will diminish over the duration of the zoom blur. This helps draw focus towards specific parts of the screen. This is an Action Sequence-only effect. --- Plugin Commands Plugin Commands are event commands that are used to call upon functions added by a plugin that aren't inherently a part of RPG Maker MZ. Here is a list of Plugin Command(s) that you may use: --- The following are Action Sequence Plugin Commands that have been added with this plugin. These are accessible from the Battle Core plugin (not this one) in order to keep all the Action Sequences in place. Once again, these plugin commands are only accessible through the Battle Core plugin and not this one! Make sure you have the most update to date version of the Battle Core for them. --- Action Sequences - Impact These Action Sequences are related to creating impact.
