default cutin settings unless you use the optional arguments listed. The following below explain what each argument does:
Template: picks a template from the Plugin Parameters matching the name used

Action Sequence Pack 3

The following contains a list of the actions you can use inside the five
action sequences. Each action has a unique function and requires certain
formats to operate properly.

=============================================================================
CAMERA CLAMP ON
CAMERA CLAMP OFF
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
By default, the camera clamp is on, which forces the camera to never pan
outside of the battlefield's boundaries. However, in the event you wish to
turn this off, use 'camera clamp off' to shut off the clamp. The clamp,
however, will be turned back on at the end of each 'perform finish' action.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Usage Example: camera clamp on
               camera clamp off
=============================================================================

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
This will focus on a target(s) (refer to target typing) and a location. If
the location is omitted, the camera will focus on the target(s)'s center.
Note: The camera will not shift past screen boundaries.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

CAMERA PAN: LEFT, distance, (frames)
CAMERA PAN: RIGHT, distance, (frames)
CAMERA PAN: UP, distance, (frames)
CAMERA PAN: DOWN, distance, (frames)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Pans the camera a direction a certain distance in pixels. You can use a
combination of left/right and up/down to perform a diagonal camera pan.
Using 'frames' will allow you to adjust the duration of the camera pan.
Omitting 'frames' will set the camera pan duration to 30 frames.
Note: The camera will not shift past screen boundaries.

the camera will lock to that part of the target. Using (frames) will
determine the duration of the time the camera will move over to the target
location. Omitting (frames) will set the camera pan duration to 30 frames.

Action Sequence Impact

Prev Target, Next Target

Before I begin on the Action Sequences, I want to say there's two new additions to the targeting mechanism. You know the parts where you put in "user" or "targets"? Now, during the <Target Actions> phase, you can use either "Prev Target" or "Next Target" to grab either the previous one or the next target in the list.

New Stuff

This part of the document will now be formatted like Yanfly's Action Seq help file to bring about a sense of familiarity.

=============================================================================

Move Type

=============================================================================
MOVE TYPE: target, easing
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Changes the way the target moves (until the end of the skill/item is done)
using easing. Replace 'easing' with any of the following:

     Linear ......... No easing, no acceleration

     InSine ......... Slight acceleration from zero to full speed
     OutSine ........ Slight deceleration at the end
     InOutSine ...... Slight accel. at beginning and slight decel. at end

     InQuad ......... LV2 Accelerating from zero velocity
     OutQuad ........ LV2 Decelerating to zero velocity
     InOutQuad ...... LV2 Acceleration until halfway, then deceleration

     InCubic ........ LV3 Accelerating from zero velocity
     OutCubic ....... LV3 Decelerating to zero velocity
     InOutCubic ..... LV3 Acceleration until halfway, then deceleration

     InQuart ........ LV4 Accelerating from zero velocity

     InQuint ........ LV5 Accelerating from zero velocity
     OutQuint ....... LV5 Decelerating to zero velocity
     InOutQuint ..... LV5 Acceleration until halfway, then deceleration

     InExpo ......... Accelerate exponentially until finish
     OutExpo ........ Initial exponential acceleration slowing to stop
     InOutExpo ...... Exponential acceleration and deceleration

     InCirc ......... Increasing velocity until stop
     OutCirc ........ Start fast, decreasing velocity until stop
     InOutCirc ...... Fast increase in velocity, fast decrease in velocity

     InBack ......... Slow movement backwards then fast snap to finish
     OutBack ........ Fast snap to backwards point then slow to finish
     InOutBack ...... Back In, then Back Out

     InElastic ...... Bounces slowly then quickly to finish
     OutElastic ..... Fast acceleration, bounces to zero
     InOutElastic ... Slow start and end, two bounces sandwich a fast motion

     InBounce ....... Bounce increasing in velocity until completion
     OutBounce ...... Bounce to completion
     InOutBounce .... Bounce in and bounce out

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Usage Example: move type: user, InOutBack
               move type: target, OutBounce
=============================================================================

Move Offset

=============================================================================
MOVE target OFFSET: +X, +Y
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Use this after a Move Action Sequence. This lets you adjust the movement
location goal of the target by +x and +y. You can use negative numbers, too.
A positive number will mean further past the goal. A negative number means
before the goal. This is done this way to not have absolutes making tricky
calculations depending on which way the battler is facing
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Usage Example: move user offset: +100, +0
               move target offset: -50, +25
=============================================================================

Projectile

=============================================================================
PROJECTILE ICON id: START x y, GOAL x y
PROJECTILE ICON id: START target, GOAL target

PROJECTILE ANI id: START x y, GOAL x y
PROJECTILE ANI id: START target, GOAL target
PROJECTILE ANIMATION id: START x y, GOAL x y
PROJECTILE ANIMATION id: START target, GOAL target

(optional parameters)
DURATION d
ARC a
EASE type
SPIN s
ICON SCALE i
ANGLE
START OFFSET +x +y
START OFFSET -x -y
GOAL OFFSET +x +y
GOAL OFFSET -x -y
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Replace id with either the icon index or the battle animation graphic you
want to use with the projectile. Choose a starting X and Y position or link
it to a target. Then choose a goal X and Y position or link that to a target
too. The rest of the parameters are optional and can be used in any order
you want, but I'll go through each of them.

If the starting targets have more than one member in them, projectiles will
be spawned from each target as a source. If the goal targets have more than
one member, projectiles will be made for each target. This means for each
source and each goal, a projectile will be made.

Duration: replace the d with the number of frames of duration. Default: 20
Arc: replace the a with the maximum arc height in pixels
Ease: replace type with an easing type from the Move Type list above
Spin: replace s with how fast you want the projectile to spin.
Icon Scale: replce i with the scale you want to increase your icons by
Angle: If you want the projectile to "arrow head" towards its goal, use this
Start Offset: lets you adjust the x and y offset of the starting position
Goal Offset: lets you adjust the x and y offset of the goal position

You can use as many projectiles on the screen at once as you want.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Usage Example: projectile icon 161: start user, goal target
               projectile ani 71: start user, goal target

projectile icon 176: duration 60, arc 300, spin 1.5
projectile ani 71: duration 60, arc 50, ease InOutBack, angle

Waits for all the projectiles on the screen to reach their targets before
moving on with the rest of the Action Sequence list.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
