Yanfly Engine Plugins

This plugin is a part of the Yanfly Engine Plugins library.

Introduction

This plugin creates a new gameplay mechanic where players have to choose
which skills to bring into battle. They can select what skills to bring from
the skill menu. In addition to being able to do that, equipped skills can
also add bonuses such as stats and/or passive states.

Note: During Battle Test, equip skill slots will be disabled for the sake of
better battle testing control.

Notetags

RPG Maker MV'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 notetags adjust various aspects about equippable battle skills.

Actor Notetag:
  <Starting Skill Slots: x>
  This sets the actor's starting skill slots to x amount. This value will
  not allow the actor to bypass the Maximum Skills limit.

Skill Notetags:
  <Equip stat: +x>
  <Equip stat: -x>
  Replace 'stat' with 'HP', 'MP', 'ATK', 'DEF', 'MAT', 'MDF', 'AGI', or
  'LUK' to have that stat increase or decrease by x amount while the skill
  is equipped for battle.

  <Equip State: x>
  <Equip State: x, x, x>
  <Equip State: x through x>
  This causes the actor to be affected by state x while the skill is
  equipped for battle.

  <Unequippable>
  This skill cannot be equipped no matter what.

  <All Access Equippable>
  This makes the skill equippable whether the actor has the available skill
  type needed for the skill or not.

  <Access Only Equippable>
  This makes the skill equippable only for actors with the specific skill
  type. Actors without access to the skill type cannot equip it.

Class, Skill, Weapon, Armor, and State Notetags:
  <Equip Skill Slots: +x>
  <Equip Skill Slots: -x>
  This increases or decreases the amount of skills the actor can equip for
  battle by x. This value will not allow the actor to bypass the Maximum
  Skills Limit.

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 MV.

Here is a list of Plugin Command(s) that you may use:

You can use the following plugin commands to increase or decrease the amount
of battle slots for specific actors.

Plugin Command:

  IncreaseActorBattleSlots 3 by 4
  - This will increase actor 3's number of battle skill slots by 4. The
  total amount of battle skill slots cannot go beyond the 'Maximum Skills'
  plugin parameter.

  DecreaseActorBattleSlots 5 by 2
  - This will decrease actor 5's number of battle skill slots by 2. The
  total amount of battle skill slots cannot go beneath 1.

Here are some plugin commands you can use for your game!

Plugin Command:

  EnableEquipBattleSkills
  - This will enable the 'Equip Skills' command in the skill menu.

  DisableEquipBattleSkills

Script Calls

Script Calls are event commands that are used to run JavaScript code during an event to call upon unique functions, usually added by the related plugin.

Here is a list of Script Call(s) that you may use:

For those with JavaScript experience, you can use the following newly added
functions from this plugin within script calls or Lunatic Mode notetags.

  actor.getBattleSkillMaxPlus()

  actor.setBattleSkillMaxPlus(x)

  than 1 available equip slot. This can go positive but it cannot force the
  actor to have more than the 'Maximum Skills' plugin parameter value.

  actor.increaseBattleSkillSlots(x)
  - This will raise the maximum amount of equip skill slots for the actor to
  x but cannot go beyond the 'Maximum Skills' plugin parameter value.

  x but cannot go under a minimum of 1 battle equip slot.
