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 This plugin adds the ability for your player to freely change the classes of actors outside of battle from a menu. When changing into different classes, players adjust the game's actors to a different playstyle with different skills, equipment, and traits to make them behave differently. Multiclassing is also possible. Actors can possess one class to many, from two to ten to as many as you've set up in the Plugin Parameters. Adjust the rulings for how multiclasses behave in your game. Let actors inherit a small percentage of parameters from the multiclasses, skills, equipment access, and more! Features include all (but not limited to) the following: A custom scene to let actors change their classes inside of. When class changing, determine if levels are maintained across all classes or if each class has their own levels to raise. Multiclasses allow actors to have more than one class at a time. Determine the rulings for each multiclass tier through the Plugin Parameters to gain control over how they influence your game. Restrict certain multiclass tiers from being able to change classes. Allow only some classes to be equippable to specific multiclass tiers. Unlock new classes automatically by reaching certain class levels or when certain resources have reached certain thresholds. These resources are the new Class Points and Job Points. Class Points and Job Points are brand new resources added through this plugin which can be acquired through a variety a means ranging from participating in battle, defeating enemies, and/or leveling up. Also unlock classes through Plugin Commands! Actors can have class specific graphics depending on their primary class. Appearance changes range from faces, map sprites, battlers, and portraits used by other VisuStella MZ plugins. Play an animation on the actor inside the Class Change scene when changing classes. Requirements This plugin is made for RPG Maker MZ. This will not work in other iterations of RPG Maker. Tier 2 This plugin is a Tier 2 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. Major Changes This plugin adds some new hard-coded features to RPG Maker MZ's functions. The following is a list of them. --- Class Specific Graphics If an actor has class specific graphics, they will overwrite the face graphic, map character sprite graphic, battler graphic, and any portraits that have been added through the VisuStella MZ plugins. The class specific graphics will take priority over the default graphics. --- Change Actor Images Event Command When changing an actor's graphics through the "Change Actor Images" event command, these changes will take priority over the Class Specific Graphics. If you want to remove these priority graphics, set the "Change Actor Images" images to "(None)". Keep in mind that this means you cannot make an "invisible" graphic through the "(None)" selection anymore. Instead, you need to make a work around by making a custom graphic image that is fully transparent. --- Extra Features There are some extra features found if other VisuStella MZ plugins are found present in the Plugin Manager list. --- Victory Aftermath VisuStella MZ If VisuStella MZ's Victory Aftermath plugin is installed, the amount of Job Points and Class Points earned can be visibly shown in the rewards window. --- Battle Core VisuStella MZ Main Menu Core VisuStella MZ If the Battle Core and/or the Main Menu Core is installed, the Class Change System also gives access to notetags that alter their battle portraits and/or menu portraits based on whatever class an actor is. --- VisuStella MZ Compatibility While this plugin is compatible with the majority of the VisuStella MZ plugin library, it is not compatible with specific plugins or specific features. This section will highlight the main plugins/features that will not be compatible with this plugin or put focus on how the make certain features compatible. --- Core Engine VisuStella MZ The Core Engine will determine if icons are displayed next to class names for menus. If you do not wish to use them, then you will need to disable them via the Plugin Parameters: Core Engine > Plugin Parameters > UI Settings > Text Code > Class Names Then, set that value to false. --- Clarification This section is to add clarification on some questions you may have regarding the Class Change System. --- Q. Why do my actors have access to random skill(s) of x class(es)? A. Are those classes a part of the classes that have already been unlocked? Are the skills learned at level 1 for those classes? And are those classes sharing a particular Skill Type? Then that's your answer. When classes are unlocked, they are unlocked at level 1. When unlocked at level 1, all of the skills at level 1 are also learned by that actor. And if the classes all share a Skill Type, those skills will also become available to that Skill Type. If you don't want your classes to have access to all of the skills of the same Skill Type, then give them different Skill Types unique to each class and change the Skill Types of the skills taught for those classes to that class's unique Skill Type. --- Q. Why does the <Passive State: x> notetag from Skills and States Core apply even if my actor does not have access to the parent skill? A. Skills with the <Passive State: x> notetag only have a requirement of the skills needing to be learned. It does not have a requirement of the skills needing to be accessible through the Skill Types. Even without the Class Change System, if you teach an actor a skill that has a Skill Type the actor does not have access to, that actor will still benefit from the <Passive State: x> notetag. To make it apply only when a certain class is present, you will need to utilize the Passive Condition notetags found in the Skills and States Core. --- Q. How do I get the data on which classes and multiclasses an actor has? A. You would have to use the following code to acquire their data: actor.multiclasses() - This returns an array of all of the multiclasses an actor has. - This includes the actor's primary class. actor.multiclass(x) - This returns the class data (not ID) of whatever class the actor has in x multiclass slot. - An x value of 1 would yield the primary class. actor.multiclassId(x) - This returns the class ID (not data) of whatever class the actor has in x multiclass slot. - An x value of 1 would yield the primary class's ID. --- Q. How come my subclasses don't gain levels or EXP when I use event commands on my actors? A. EXP Reward Rates for subclasses only apply to battle rewards. The event commands do not affect class settings in case the game dev wishes to fine tune the amount of EXP each class. --- Q. How come subclasses do not appear in the Skill Learn System? A. That's because class-based resources and requirements are different depending on the primary class and how they're set up. To avoid conflicting with subclass resources and requirements, the Skill Learn System only makes it available for the primary class to learn skills from at a time. To learn skills from a subclass through the Skill Learn System the player would have to change to the subclass' class as the primary and then learn from it. --- Notetags RPG Maker MZ's editor is unable to allow for custom traits/properties that a game dev may wish to associate with a database object, event, map, etc. Notetags are used to work around such limitations by allowing the game dev to tag certain traits/properties using specific Notetags declared by the related plugin. Here is a list of Notetag(s) that you may use. The following are notetags that have been added through this plugin. These notetags will not work with your game if this plugin is OFF or not present. --- Class Basics-Related Notetags --- <Icon: x> - Used for: Class Notetags - Assigns an icon index for the class to 'x'. - Replace 'x' with a number representing the index value on the IconSet image in the img/system/ folder for the icon you want to assign. - If this notetag is not used, the icon index will default to the setting found in the Class Change System's Plugin Parameters. --- <Help Description> text text </Help Description> - Used for: Class Notetags - Assigns a help description to the class. - Replace 'text' with text you want displayed when this class is selected in the Class Change scene's class list. - If this notetag is not used, the help description will default to the setting found in the Class Change System's Plugin Parameters. --- <Class Change Animation: x> - Used for: Class Notetags - Assigns an animation for the class when the actor changes to that class. - Replace 'x' with a number representing the ID of the animation found in the database to play when the actor changes to that class. - If this notetag is not used, the animation will default to the setting found in the Class Change System's Plugin Parameters. --- <Class Change Picture: filename> <Picture: filename> - Used for: Class Notetags - Uses a picture from your project's /img/pictures/ folder instead of the class's icon during for the Class Change scene. - Replace 'filename' with the filename of the image. - Do not include the file extension. - Scaling will not apply to the picture. - Use the <Picture: filename> version for any other plugins that may be using this as an image outside of class changing, too. - The size used for the image will vary based on your game's resolution. --- Class Specific Graphics-Related Notetags --- <Class id Face: filename, index> <Class name Face: filename, index> - Used for: Actor Notetags - Gives this actor a class specific face graphic. - For 'id' variant, replace 'id' with a number representing class's ID. - For 'name' variant, replace 'name' with the class's name. - Replace 'filename' with the filename of the graphic found inside the img/faces/ folder.
