Introduction This plugin adds in a Weapon Swap System. Actors can equip a different weapon for each weapon type available for use. These weapons can be swapped to and from during the middle of a battle. Swapping weapons can let the player's team adapt to certain situations better or giving them the ability to hit certain weapon weaknesses in battle. Features include all (but not limited to) the following: Actors can equip multiple weapons, one for each weapon type. These weapons can be switched during the middle of battle. Choose to display only equippable weapon types in the Equip Menu or all of the possible weapon types. Have certain skills switch over to different equipped weapons when performing them. Shortcut keys to allow switching between weapon types easily when selecting commands. 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 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. --- Dual Wielding Dual Wielding properties have been disabled to allow for the Weapon Swap System. There are too many conflicts between it and the Weapon Swap System. There is simply no way around it. --- Required Weapons RPG Maker MZ's skills allowed for Required Weapons and needed the actor to have any of the said weapon type(s) equipped upon usage. This function has now been changed. Now, as long as the actor has any of the weapon types available and a weapon attached to it, the actor will be able to use the skill without needing to switch to that weapon first. When using the skill, the actor will switch to the first available weapon type if needed as long as it is a requirement. --- Locked Weapons and Sealed Weapons Actors that can weapon swap are now immune to Lock Weapon and Seal Weapon traits as they go against the nature of this plugin. --- 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. --- Items and Equips Core VisuStella MZ The custom equip slots feature from the VisuStella MZ Items and Equips Core allowed you to add in extra weapon slots. This is now curated up to a max of one weapon slot per character. This needs to be done to make the Weapon Swap System viable. --- 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. --- Skill Usage-Related Notetags --- <Require Any Weapon> - Used for: Skill Notetags - Requires the actor to have any weapon equipped in order to use the skill, regardless of the weapon's type. - This does not affect enemies. --- <Switch to Weapon Type: id> <Switch to Weapon Type: name> - Used for: Skill Notetags - When using the skill, the actor will switch to the equipped weapon of the matching type. - Replace 'id' with a number representing the weapon type's ID. - Replace 'name' with the name of the weapon type. - Weapon types are not the same as weapons. Weapon types are found in the Database > Types tab. - This does not affect enemies. --- Plugin Parameters Mechanics Settings There's not too many mechanics that can be modified through the Plugin Parameters, but the setting here will at least let you ease up on testing battles from the database. --- Battle Test Equip All Weapons?: - Do you want to equip one of each weapon type during battle tests for all actors? --- UI Settings The following Plugin Parameters are dedicated towards modifying the UI elements added through this plugin. --- Attack Command Change Attack Icon?: - Change the Attack command to show the weapon? - Or have it represent the Attack skill? Swap Shortcut?: - Allow shortcut to switch weapons while selecting the Attack command? Show Arrows?: - Show arrows to the left and right of the Attack command for an easy reminder of the shortcut? --- Swap Command Show Command?: - Show the Swap weapon command in the Actor Command Window? - The Swap weapon command will be listed by default after the Attack command. - If you do not have the Attack command, it will not be shown unless you add "Weapon Swap" to the battle command list. Swap Icon: - What icon do you wish to use to represent the Swap command for the Actor Command Window? Swap Name: - What text do you want to use to represent the Swap command for the Actor Command Window? --- Equip Scene Show Unequippable?: - Show all weapon types in the equip scene? - Or only just the equippable ones? --- Terms of Use 1.
