Introduction The Elements & Status Menu Core plugin gives you more control over in-game elemental rate calculations, providing Trait Sets to streamline assigning elements to actors and enemies, and updating the Status Menu to display all that information properly. Features include all (but not limited to) the following: Element Rate control from target side and user side. Elemental Absorption and Elemental Reflection added. Assign items and skills to have multiple elements. Elemental rates can be adjusted from additive and multiplicative notetags. Forcing Elemental Rates and nullifying Elemental properties. Trait Sets added to mass assign traits through the usage of notetags. Trait Sets used to assign Elements, SubElements, Genders, Races, Natures, Alignments, Blessings, Curses, Zodiacs, and Variants. Randomized Trait Sets with weights to make enemies more dynamic. The ability to change traits midway through the game by Plugin Commands. Updated Status Menu Layout to display all this new information. Control over the information category tabs in the Status Menu. Change up the actor's Biography midway through the game by Plugin Command. Requirements This plugin is made for RPG Maker MZ. This will not work in other iterations of RPG Maker. Tier 1 This plugin is a Tier 1 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. --- Element Damage Calculation Elemental damage was calculated in one very specific way in RPG Maker MZ: getting the target's elemental resistance found across various database objects and applying the damage to that rate. This plugin extends that by giving more ways to extend the target's elemental damage rate as add in a facet which introduces the attacker's elemental bonus damage, too. --- Multi-Elemental Calculation By default in RPG Maker MZ, if there are multiple elements assigned to an action, then the element with the highest rate is taken. This plugin will give you, the game dev, the decision on how this is handled: the default maximum rate, a minimum rate, a multiplicative product, an additive sum, or an average of all the elemental rates calculated. --- 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. Element-Related Notetags The following are element-related notetags. --- <Multi-Element: x> <Multi-Element: x,x,x> <Multi-Element: name> <Multi-Element: name, name, name> - Used for: Skill, Item Notetags - Gives this action an additional element (alongside the Damage element) when calculating damage. - Replace 'x' with the ID of the element from Database > Types. - For 'name' notetag variant, replace 'name' with the element's name.

Text: - Text name used for this category. JS: Draw Data: - Code used to determine what appears in the data window. --- General Trait Set Settings Trait Sets are new properties added to RPG Maker MZ through this plugin. They're used to streamline the process of applying traits to actors and enemies through the database. Instead of having to manually adjust the elemental rate of each enemy, you can now assign them to a Trait Set (through the Plugin Parameters) and then assign that Trait Set to an enemy or batch of enemies instead. This means that all enemies with <Element: Fire> would be weak and resistance to the same elements determined by the Elemental Fire Trait Set. These Plugin Parameters adjust how Trait Sets are handled on a general scale within your game. --- General Enable Trait Sets?: - Enable Trait Sets? This must be enabled for Trait Sets to have any kind of effect on battlers.

They're used to streamline the process of applying traits to actors and enemies through the database. Instead of having to manually adjust the elemental rate of each enemy, you can now assign them to a Trait Set (through the Plugin Parameters) and then assign that Trait Set to an enemy or batch of enemies instead. This means that all enemies with <Element: Fire> would be weak and resistance to the same elements determined by the Elemental Fire Trait Set. There are 10 different types of Trait Set Types out there that you can assign to actors and enemies and they all work the same way, just under different categories. --- Element SubElement Gender Race Nature Alignment Blessing Curse Zodiac Variant Name: - Name of this Trait Set. Also used as a reference key Display Text: - How the Trait Set is displayed in game when selected. - Text codes are allowed. Help Description: - Help description for this Trait Set if required. Format Text: - The text that's added onto an enemy's name if this Trait Set is used. Valid for Random?: - Is this Trait Set valid for random selection? Random Weight: - Default weight of this Trait Set if valid for random. Traits: Element Rates: - The elemental damage rates received for this Trait Set. - The modifiers are multiplicative. Basic Parameters: - The basic parameter rates altered by this Trait set. - The modifiers are multiplicative. X Parameters: - The X parameter rates altered by this Trait set. - The modifiers are additive. S Parameters: - The S parameter rates altered by this Trait set. - The modifiers are multiplicative. Passive States: - Passive states that are applied to this Trait Set. - Requires VisuMZ_1_SkillsStatesCore. - Refer to VisuMZ_1_SkillsStatesCore's documentation for more details. Equipment: Weapon Types: - Additional weapon types usable by this Trait Set. Armor Types: - Additional armor types usable by this Trait Set. --- Terms of Use 1.

Or create a new project, install VisuMZ_1_ElementStatusCore.js there, then copy over the "Status Menu Categories" parameters found in the Plugin Parameters to your current project. Version 1.09: January 8, 2021 Bug Fixes! Default "JS: Draw Data" code for Plugin Parameters > Status Menu Categories > Elements has been updated to account for Trait Type visibility for both Element and Sub-Element. This won't update normally as it is a part of the Plugin Parameters.
