Introduction Unleash the power of item mixing and crafting in your game! With the Item Concoctions plugin, you can create skills that allow players to combine two items—a base and a pair—to create powerful and unique effects. Explore a vast array of concoction types, each with its own set of combinations and outcomes, adding depth and versatility to your gameplay. Features include all (but not limited to) the following: Setup skills that can perform Item Concoctions by mixing together two items, a base and a pair, to form an effect from a result item. Skills can utilize different concoction types for different bases. Bases can be merged with specified pair items to produce unique effects. A separate help window can be displayed for item combinations for players to quickly see what effects can be produced. These item combinations can be discovered over time or displayed all from the getgo. Requirements This plugin is made for RPG Maker MZ. This will not work in other iterations of RPG Maker. Required Plugin List Battle Core VisuStella MZ Items and Equips 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. 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. Major Changes This plugin adds some new hard-coded features to RPG Maker MZ's functions. The following is a list of them. --- Enemy Non-Usage Enemies cannot use Item Concoction skills. Simply put, they don't have an item inventory to pick and concoct items from. Use a regular skill instead to give the illusion of an Item Concoction skill. --- Force Action You cannot use "Forced Action" with a skill that requires item concoctions. This includes commands that will chain into an Item Concoction skill. The reason behind this is that there is no item input entry for the player to select from for this action. --- 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. --- Concoction-Related Notetags --- <Can Concoct: x> <Can Concoct: x, x, x> - Used for: Skill Notetags - Sets this skill to be able to concoct items that have 'x' type as an item base (or bases). - Replace 'x' with text marking the type or category. - Insert more 'x' entries to add more types. - Use 'any' or 'all' in place of 'x' to use any kind of item base. - Types are determined by the <Concoct Type: x> or <Category: x> notetags. - This cannot be used with skills that are made to be used as Active Chain Skills, Input Combo Skills, or Evolution Matrix Skills. - Likewise, this cannot be used with Item Throw and Amplify effects. - Concoctions will consume both of the selected items as well pay the skill cost from the selected skill to initiate this effect. - Key Items, nonconsumable items, and any items with a successful proc of the <Concoct Conserve: x%> notetag will not be consumed. --- <Concoct Type: x> <Concoct Types: x, x, x> - Used for: Item Notetags - These are the types that are used to determine what the Item Concoction skills can use as an item base. This does not affect item pairs. - Replace 'x' with text marking the type. - Insert more 'x' entries to add more types. - <Category: x> will also count as a concoct base type. However, this notetag will separate the concoction types from anything else that uses the <Category: x> notetag. --- <Concoctions> list list list list </Concoctions> - Used for: Item Notetags - Determines the list of items that can be paired with this item base. - Replace 'list' with the section below to determiner the formatting: 'list' can be formatted in any of these four ways: Item id: Item id Item id: name name: Item id name: name - If you are using 'Item id', replace 'id' with the ID of the item you wish to refer to. If you are using a name version, replace name with the full name of the item (it is case sensitive). The first item on the list before the : is the pair item for item concoctions. The second item on the list after the : is the item effect that will occur when the base and pair items are combined. The effects of the first and second items are unrelated to the combined item effect. Example: <Concoctions> Item 51: Item 61 Item 52: Item 62 Item 53: Lucid Mist Item 54: Healing Mist Plum Essence: Inspiriting Mist Tomato Essence: Boosting Mist Onion Bloom: Item 67 Curious Bloom: Item 68 </Concoctions> --- <Concoct Conserve: x%> - Used for: Item - When this item is selected and used as a base or pair item for concocting, there is a 'x' percent chance of it not being consumed. - Replace 'x' with a number representing the percent chance for this item to not be consumed. - 100% will mean it will never be consumed. - If this notetag is not used, then the item will always be consumed unless it is a non-consumable item set by the database. --- Script Calls The following are Script Calls that can be used with this plugin. These are made for JavaScript proficient users. We are not responsible if you use them incorrectly or for unintended usage. --- Item Retrieval-Related Script Calls --- $concoctItems - This is a variable that gets updated upon the usage of any new action be it from an actor or enemy. It will return the items being used to make the current item concoction if any. - The items are in their rawest form, which are their $dataItems[x] entries. --- Plugin Parameters Vocabulary Settings These settings let you adjust the text displayed for this plugin. --- Settings Base Item Help: - Help description used when selecting a base item. Pair Item Help: - Help description used when selecting a pair item.
