Introduction The Battle Core plugin revamps the battle engine provided by RPG Maker MZ to become more flexible, streamlined, and support a variety of features. The updated battle engine allows for custom Action Sequences, battle layout styles, and a lot of control over the battle mechanics, too. Features include all (but not limited to) the following: Action Sequence Plugin Commands to give you full control over what happens during the course of a skill or item. Animated Sideview Battler support for enemies! Auto Battle options for party-wide and actor-only instances. Base Troop Events to quickly streamline events for all Troop events. Battle Command control to let you change which commands appear for actors. Battle Layout styles to change the way the battle scene looks. Casting animation support for skills. Critical Hit control over the success rate formula and damage multipliers. Custom target scopes added for skills and items. Damage formula control, including Damage Styles. Damage caps, both hard caps and soft caps. Damage traits such Armor Penetration/Reduction to bypass defenses. Elements & Status Menu Core support for traits. Multitude of JavaScript notetags and global Plugin Parameters to let you make a variety of effects across various instances during battle. Party Command window can be skipped/disabled entirely. Weather effects now show in battle. Streamlined Battle Log to remove redundant information and improve the flow of battle. Visual HP Gauges can be displayed above the heads of actors and/or enemies with a possible requirement for enemies to be defeated at least once first in order for them to show. 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 will overwrite some core parts of the RPG Maker MZ base code in order to ensure the Battle Core plugin will work at full capacity. The following are explanations of what has been changed. --- Action Sequences Action sequences are now done either entirely by the Battle Log Window or through common events if the <Custom Action Sequence> notetag is used. In RPG Maker MZ by default, Action Sequences would be a mixture of using the Battle Log Window, the Battle Manager, and the Battle Scene, making it hard to fully grab control of the situation. --- Action Speed Action speeds determine the turn order in the default battle system. The AGI of a battle unit is also taken into consideration. However, the random variance applied to the action speed system makes the turn order extremely chaotic and hard for the player to determine. Thus, the random variance aspect of it has been turned off. This can be reenabled by default through Plugin Parameters => Mechanics Settings => Allow Random Speed? --- Animated Sideview Battler Support For Enemies Enemies can now use Sideview Actor sprites for themselves! They will behave like actors and can even carry their own set of weapons for physical attacks. These must be set up using notetags. More information can be found in the notetag section. As the sprites are normally used for actors, some changes have been made to Sprite_Actor to be able to support both actors and enemies. These changes should have minimal impact on other plugins. --- Battle Sprite Updates A lot of functions in Sprite_Battler, Sprite_Actor, and Sprite_Enemy have been overwritten to make the new Action Sequence system added by this plugin possible. These changes make it possible for the sprites to move anywhere on the screen, jump, float, change visibility, and more. --- Change Battleback in Battle By default, the Change Battleback event command does not work in battle. Any settings made to it will only reflect in the following battle. Now, if the battleback event command is used during battle, it will reflect upon any new changes immediately. --- Critical Hit - LUK Influence The LUK Buffs now affect the critical hit rate based off how the formula is now calculated. Each stack of a LUK Buff will double the critical hit rate and compound upon that. That means a x1 LUK Buff stack will raise it by x2, a x2 LUK Buff stack will raise the critical hit rate by x4, a x3 LUK Buff Stack will raise the critical hit rate stack by x8, and so on. LUK also plays a role in how much damage is dealt with critical hits. The default critical hit multiplier has been reduced from x3 to x2. However, a percentage of LUK will added on (based off the user's CRI rate) onto the finalized critical damage. If the user's CRI rate is 4%, then 4% of the user LUK value will also be added onto the damage. This change can be altered through Plugin Parameters => Damage Settings => Critical Hits => JS: Rate Formula and JS: Damage Formula. --- Damage Popups Damage popups are now formatted with + and - to determine healing and damage. MP Damage will also include "MP" at the back. This is to make it clearer what each colored variant of the damage popup means as well as help color blind players read the on-screen data properly. Damage popups have also been rewritten to show all changed aspects instead of just one. Previously with RPG Maker MZ, if an action would deal both HP and MP damage, only one of them would show. Now, everything is separated and both HP and MP changes will at a time. --- Dual Wield Previously, RPG Maker MZ had "Dual Wielding" attack using both weapon animations at once, with the combined ATK of each weapon. It's confusing to look at and does not portray the nature of "Dual Wielding". Dual Wielding, or in the case of users adding in third and fourth weapons, Multi Wielding is now changed. Each weapon is displayed individually, each producing its own attack animation, showing each weapon type, and applying only that weapon's ATK, Traits, and related effects. It is no longer a combined effect to display everything at once like RPG Maker MZ default. If an actor has multiple weapon slots but some of them are unequipped, then the action will treat the attack as a single attack. There will be no barehanded attack to add on top of it. This is to match RPG Maker MZ's decision to omit a second animation if the same scenario is applied. Force Action Previously, Forced Actions would interrupt the middle of an event to perform an action. However, with the addition of more flexible Action Sequences, the pre-existing Force Action system would not be able to exist and would require being remade. Forced Actions now are instead, added to a separate queue from the action battler list. Whenever an action and/or common event is completed, then if there's a Forced Action battler queued, then the Forced Action battler will have its turn. This is the cleanest method available and avoids the most conflicts possible. This means if you planned to make cinematic sequences with Forced Actions, you will need to account for the queued Force Actions. However, in the case of battle cinematics, we would highly recommend that you use the newly added Action Sequence Plugin Commands instead as those give you more control than any Force Action ever could. --- Random Scope The skill and item targeting scopes for Random Enemy, 2 Random Enemies, 3 Random Enemies, 4 Random Enemies will now ignore TGR and utilize true randomness. --- Spriteset_Battle Update The spriteset now has extra containers to separate battlers (actors and enemies), animations, and damage. This is to make actors and enemy battler sprites more efficient to sort (if enabled), so that animations won't interfere with and cover damage sprites, and to make sure damage sprites are unaffected by screen tints in order to ensure the player will always have a clear read on the information relaying sprites. --- TPB/ATB Active Battle Actor Shifting The above image is a demonstration of what the bug looks like in an empty project. Pressing cancel on the Actor Command Window no longer switches between actors with a full TPB/ATB gauge before reaching the Party Command Window. This is to accomplish a couple of things: 1) reduce the number of button presses to reach the Party Command Window and 2) to prevent motion resets and disrupting action sequences. If this feature is vital to your battle system, we recommend that you do not use this plugin or any of the Battle Core-required plugins. --- Weather Displayed in Battle Previously, weather has not been displayed in battle. This means that any weather effects placed on the map do not transfer over to battle and causes a huge disconnect for players. The Battle Core plugin will add weather effects to match the map's weather conditions. Any changes made to weather through event commands midway through battle will also be reflected. --- Base Troops Base Troops can be found, declared, and modified in the Plugin Parameters => Mechanics Settings => Base Troop ID's. All of the listed Troop ID's here will have their page events replicated and placed under all other troops found in the database. --- This means that if you have an event that runs on Turn 1 of a Base Troop, then for every troop out there, that same event will also run on Turn 1, as well. This is useful for those who wish to customize their battle system further and to reduce the amount of work needed to copy/paste said event pages into every database troop object manually. --- Damage Styles Damage Styles are a new feature added through the Battle Core plugin. When using certain Battle Styles, you can completely ignore typing in the whole damage formula inside the damage formula input box, and instead, insert either a power amount or a multiplier depending on the Damage Style. The plugin will then automatically calculate damage using that value factoring in ATK, DEF, MAT, MDF values. --- Here is a list of the Damage Styles that come with this plugin by default. You can add in your own and even edit them to your liking. Or just remove them if you want. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Style Use Formula As PH/MA Disparity Stat Scale Damage Scale - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Standard Formula No Varies Varies ArmorScaling Formula No Varies Varies CT Multiplier Yes Low Normal D4 Multiplier No High Normal DQ Multiplier No Low Low FF7 Power Yes Low High FF8 Power Yes Medium Normal FF9 Power Yes Low Normal FF10 Power Yes Medium High MK Multiplier No Medium Low MOBA Multiplier No Medium Normal PKMN Power No Low Normal Use the above chart to figure out which Damage Style best fits your game, if you plan on using them. The 'Standard' style is the same as the 'Manual' formula input, except that it allows for the support of <Armor Penetration> and <Armor Reduction> notetags. The 'Armor Scaling' style allows you to type in the base damage calculation without the need to type in any defending modifiers. NOTE: While these are based off the damage formulas found in other games, not all of them are exact replicas. Many of them are adapted for use in RPG Maker MZ since not all RPG's use the same set of parameters and not all external multipliers function the same way as RPG Maker MZ. --- Style: This is what the Damage Style is. Use Formula As: This is what you insert into the formula box. Formula: Type in the formula for the action just as you would normally. Multiplier: Type in the multiplier for the action. Use float values. This means 250% is typed out as 2.50 Power: Type in the power constant for the action. Use whole numbers. Type in something like 16 for a power constant. PH/MA Disparity: Is there a disparity between how Physical Attacks and Magical Attacks are calculated? If yes, then physical attacks and magical attacks will have different formulas used. If no, then physical attacks and magical attacks will share similar formulas for how they're calculated. Stat Scale: How much should stats scale throughout the game? Low: Keep them under 100 for the best results. Medium: Numbers work from low to mid 400's for best results. High: The numbers really shine once they're higher. Damage Scale: How much does damage vary depending on small parameter changes? Low: Very little increase from parameter changes. Normal: Damage scales close to proportionally with parameter changes. High: Damage can boost itself drastically with parameter changes. --- To determine what kind of parameters are used for the Damage Styles, they will depend on two things: the action's 'Hit Type' (ie Physical Attack, Magical Attack, and Certain Hit) and the action's 'Damage Type' (ie. Damage, Recovery, or Drain). Certain Hit tends to use whichever value is higher: ATK or MAT, and then ignores the target's defense values. Use Certain Hits for 'True Damage'. Use the chart below to figure out everything else: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hit Type Damage Type Attacker Parameter Defender Parameter - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Physical Damage ATK DEF Magical Damage MAT MDF Certain Hit Damage Larger (ATK, MAT) -Ignores- Physical Recover DEF -Ignores- Magical Recover MDF -Ignores- Certain Hit Recover Larger (ATK, MAT) -Ignores- Physical Drain ATK DEF Magical Drain MAT MDF Certain Hit Drain Larger (ATK, MAT) -Ignores- These can be modified within the Plugin Parameters in the individual Damage Styles themselves. --- Skills and Items can use different Damage Styles from the setting you've selected in the Plugin Parameters. They can be altered to have different Damage Styles through the usage of a notetag: <Damage Style: name> This will use whichever style is found in the Plugin Parameters. If "Manual" is used, then no style will be used and all calculations will be made strictly based off the formula found inside the formula box. --- 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. --- Boost Action VisuStella MZ When using Action Sequences, Boost effects for damage, turn extensions, analyze, etc. will not occur for anything other than the Action Sequence: "MECH: Action Effect" in order to maintain controlled effects. However, if you do want to apply bonuses for Boosts, utilize "MECH: Boost Store Data" to store inside a variable how many times Boosts were used. This can be used however which way you want it to as long as it is manageable through events and Common Events. --- 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. HP Gauge-Related Notetags The following notetags allow you to set whether or not HP Gauges can be displayed by enemies regardless of Plugin Parameter settings. --- <Show HP Gauge> - Used for: Enemy Notetags - Will always show the HP Gauge for the enemy regardless of the defeat requirement setting. - This does not bypass the player's Options preferences. - This does not bypass disabling enemy HP Gauges as a whole. --- <Hide HP Gauge> - Used for: Enemy Notetags - Will always hide the HP Gauge for the enemy regardless of the defeat requirement setting. - This does not bypass the player's Options preferences. --- <Battle UI Offset: +x, +y> <Battle UI Offset: -x, -y> <Battle UI Offset X: +x> <Battle UI Offset X: -x> <Battle UI Offset Y: +y> <Battle UI Offset Y: -y> - Used for: Actor and Enemy Notetags - Adjusts the offset of HP Gauges and State Icons above the heads of actors and enemies. - Replace 'x' with a number value that offsets the x coordinate. - Negative x values offset left. Positive x values offset right. - Replace 'y' with a number value that offsets the y coordinate. - Negative y values offset up. Positive x values offset down. --- Animation-Related Notetags The following notetags allow you to set animations to play at certain instances and/or conditions. --- <Slip Animation: x> - Requires VisuMZ_0_CoreEngine! - Used for: Actor, Class, Weapon, Armor, Enemy, State Notetags - During the phase at which the user regenerates HP, MP, or TP, this animation will play as long as the user is alive and visible. - Replace 'x' with a number value representing the Animation ID to play. --- <Cast Animation: x> - Used for: Skill Notetags - Plays a battle animation at the start of the skill. - Replace 'x' with a number value representing the Animation ID to play. --- <Attack Animation: x> - Used for: Enemy Notetags - Gives an enemy an attack animation to play for its basic attack. - Replace 'x' with a number value representing the Animation ID to play. --- Battleback-Related Notetags You can apply these notetags to have some control over the battlebacks that appear in different regions of the map for random or touch encounters. --- <Region x Battleback1: filename> <Region x Battleback2: filename> - Used for: Map Notetags - If the player starts a battle while standing on 'x' region, then the 'filename' battleback will be used. - Replace 'x' with a number representing the region ID you wish to use. - Replace 'filename' with the filename of the graphic to use. Do not insert any extensions. This means the file 'Castle1.png' will be only inserted as 'Castle1' without the '.png' at the end. - *NOTE: This will override any specified battleback settings. --- Battle Command-Related Notetags You can use notetags to change how the battle commands of playable characters appear in battle as well as whether or not they can be used. --- <Seal Attack> <Seal Guard> <Seal Item> - Used for: Actor, Class, Weapon, Armor, Enemy, State Notetags - Prevents specific battle commands from being able to be used. --- <Battle Commands> Attack Skills SType: x SType: name All Skills Skill: x Skill: name Guard Item Party Escape Auto Battle Combat Log Talk Weapon Swap </Battle Commands> - Used for: Class Notetags - Changes which commands appear in the Actor Command Window in battle. If this notetag is not used, then the default commands determined in Plugin Parameters => Actor Command Window => Command List will be used. - Add/remove/modify entries as needed. - Attack - Adds the basic attack command. - Skills - Displays all the skill types available to the actor. - SType: x - Stype: name - Adds in a specific skill type. - Replace 'x' with the ID of the skill type. - Replace 'name' with the name of the skill type (without text codes). - All Skills - Adds all usable battle skills as individual actions. - Skill: x - Skill: name - Adds in a specific skill as a usable action. - Replace 'x' with the ID of the skill. - Replace 'name' with the name of the skill. - Guard - Adds the basic guard command. - Item - Adds the basic item command. - Party - Requires VisuMZ_2_PartySystem. - Allows this actor to switch out with a different party member. - Escape - Adds the escape command. - Auto Battle - Adds the auto battle command. - Combat Log - Requires VisuMZ_4_CombatLog. - Opens up the combat log. - Talk - Requires VisuMZ_3_BattleCmdTalk! - Shows talk command if applicable. - Weapon Swap - Requires VisuMZ_2_WeaponSwapSystem. - Swaps the current weapon. Example: <Battle Commands> Attack Skill: Heal Skills Guard Item Escape </Battle Commands> --- <Command Text: x> - Used for: Skill Notetags - When a skill is used in a <Battle Commands> notetag set, you can change the skill name text that appears to something else. - Replace 'x' with the skill's name you want to shown in the Actor Battle Command window. - Recommended Usage: Shorten skill names that are otherwise too big to fit inside of the Actor Battle Command window. --- <Command Icon: x> - Used for: Skill Notetags - When a skill is used in a <Battle Commands> notetag set, you can change the skill icon that appears to something else. - Replace 'x' with the ID of icon you want shown in the Actor Battle Command window to represent the skill. --- <Command Require Learn> - Used for: Skill Notetags - Determines if a battle command is visible or not by whether the actor has learned the skill. - Learning the skill is a requirement. Acquiring the skill through traits does not count as learning the skill. --- <Command Require Access> - Used for: Skill Notetags - Determines if a battle command is visible or not by whether the actor has access to the skill. - Having access to the skill can come through either learning the skill or temporarily acquiring it through trait objects. --- <Command Show Switch: x> <Command Show All Switches: x,x,x> <Command Show Any Switches: x,x,x> - Used for: Skill Notetags - Determines if a battle command is visible or not through switches. - Replace 'x' with the switch ID to determine the skill's visibility. - If 'All' notetag variant is used, item will be hidden until all switches are ON. Then, it would be shown. - If 'Any' notetag variant is used, item will be shown if any of the switches are ON. Otherwise, it would be hidden. - This can be applied to Attack and Guard commands, too. --- <Command Hide Switch: x> <Command Hide All Switches: x,x,x> <Command Hide Any Switches: x,x,x> - Used for: Skill Notetags - Determines if a battle command is visible or not through switches. - Replace 'x' with the switch ID to determine the skill's visibility. - If 'All' notetag variant is used, item will be shown until all switches are ON. Then, it would be hidden. - If 'Any' notetag variant is used, item will be hidden if any of the switches are ON. Otherwise, it would be shown. - This can be applied to Attack and Guard commands, too. --- <Battle Portrait: filename> - Used for: Actor - This is used with the "Portrait" Battle Layout. - Sets the battle portrait image for the actor to 'filename'. - Replace 'filename' with a picture found within your game project's img/pictures/ folder. Filenames are case sensitive. Leave out the filename extension from the notetag. - This will override any menu images used for battle only. --- <Battle Portrait Offset: +x, +y> <Battle Portrait Offset: -x, -y> <Battle Portrait Offset X: +x> <Battle Portrait Offset X: -x> <Battle Portrait Offset Y: +y> <Battle Portrait Offset Y: -y> - Used for: Actor - This is used with the "Portrait" and "Border" Battle Layouts. - Offsets the X and Y coordinates for the battle portrait. - Replace 'x' with a number value that offsets the x coordinate. - Negative x values offset left. Positive x values offset right. - Replace 'y' with a number value that offsets the y coordinate. - Negative y values offset up. Positive x values offset down. --- <Help Description> text text </Help Description> - Used for: State Notetags - Assigns a help description for the state that's displayed under the "Status" actor command. - Replace 'text' with text you want displayed for the help window. - This best works with one line for compatibility with other plugins. - Insert %1 into the help description to show any data that would otherwise be shown as the state display, such as Absorption Barrier count. - This is used as a common notetag between Battle Core's state descriptions and State Tooltips' state descriptions. --- <In-Battle Status Description> text text </In-Battle Status Description> - Assigns a help description for the state that's displayed under the "Status" actor command. - Replace 'text' with text you want displayed for the help window. - This best works with one line for compatibility with other plugins. - Insert %1 into the help description to show any data that would otherwise be shown as the state display, such as Absorption Barrier count. - The description used here will not be used for State Tooltips. - If both <Help Description> and <In-Battle Status Description> notetags exist in the same state, priority will be given to this one for the In-Battle Status Window. --- <Exclude From Status Listing> - Used for: State Notetags - Excludes the state from being displayed in the status listing. --- JavaScript Notetag: Battle Command-Related The following are notetags made for users with JavaScript knowledge to determine if skill-based battle commands are visible or hidden. --- <JS Command Visible> code code visible = code; </JS Command Visible> - Used for: Skill Notetags - The 'visible' variable is the final returned variable to determine the skill's visibility in the Battle Command Window. - Replace 'code' with JavaScript code to determine the skill's visibility in the Battle Command Window. - The 'user' variable represents the user who will perform the skill. - The 'skill' variable represents the skill to be used. --- Targeting-Related Notetags The following notetags are related to the targeting aspect of skills and items and may adjust the scope of how certain skills/items work. --- <Always Hit> <Always Hit Rate: x%> - Used for: Skill, Item Notetags - Causes the action to always hit or to always have a hit rate of exactly the marked x%. - Replace 'x' with a number value representing the hit success percentage. --- <Repeat Hits: x> - Used for: Skill, Item Notetags - Changes the number of hits the action will produce. - Replace 'x' with a number value representing the number of hits to incur. --- <Target: x Random Any> - Used for: Skill, Item Notetags - Makes the skill pick 'x' random targets when used. - Targets can be both actors and enemies. - This will overwrite the existing database scope and ignore the database's existing scope in favor of this. - Replace 'x' with a number value representing the number of random targets. --- <Target: x Random Enemies> - Used for: Skill, Item Notetags - Makes the skill pick 'x' random targets when used. - Targets are only enemies. - This will overwrite the existing database scope and ignore the database's existing scope in favor of this. - Replace 'x' with a number value representing the number of random targets. --- <Target: x Random Allies> - Used for: Skill, Item Notetags - Makes the skill pick 'x' random targets when used. - Targets are only actors. - This will overwrite the existing database scope and ignore the database's existing scope in favor of this. - Replace 'x' with a number value representing the number of random targets. --- <Target: All Allies But User> - Used for: Skill, Item Notetags - This will overwrite the existing database scope and ignore the database's existing scope in favor of this. - Targets all allies with the exception of the user. --- <Target: Ally or Enemy> - Used for: Skill, Item Notetags - Allows the player to target allies or enemies with the skill/item. - Keep in mind this does NOT allow you to select dead party members. - This will overwrite the existing database scope and ignore the database's existing scope in favor of this. - Target selection emphasis will go to allies first. - Ignored when used by enemies and will be treated as an ally scope. - Auto-battle actors will also treat this action as an ally scope. - For certain battle layouts in frontview, this will open the Actor Select window in order for Touch Input to be able to select actors. --- <Target: Enemy or Ally> - Used for: Skill, Item Notetags - Allows the player to target enemies or allies with the skill/item. - Keep in mind this does NOT allow you to select dead party members. - This will overwrite the existing database scope and ignore the database's existing scope in favor of this. - Target selection emphasis will go to enemies first. - Ignored when used by enemies and will be treated as an enemy scope. - Auto-battle actors will also treat this action as an enemy scope. - For certain battle layouts in frontview, this will open the Actor Select window in order for Touch Input to be able to select actors. --- <Single or Multiple Select> - Used for: Skill, Item Notetags - Requires an original scope that can select individual targets. - This will allow the skill/item to be able to select either single targets or multiple targets at once. - In order to select "all enemies", the player must press the "Page Up" keyboard button or the visual on screen "All Enemies" button. - In order to select "all allies", the player must press the "Page Down" keyboard button or the visual on screen "All Allies" button. - Those wondering why this isn't regulated to a command left or right of the enemies and actors is because mouse controls and touch controls would not be able to select all enemies or all allies that way. - This can NOT be used with single dead ally scopes. - If there is an enemy with Taunt or Provoke, the option to select "All Enemies" does not become possible. - The enemy AI and Auto-Battle actor AI will NOT make use of the ability to toggle between single and multiple target scopes. They will only use the single target versions of these skills. --- <Disperse Damage> - Used for: Skill, Item Notetags - This will cause any damage dealt by this skill to be split equally amongst all targets of the skill including repeats. - For basic attacks, any damage reduction added attack trait totals will by reverted. - This does NOT have to be used with <Single or Multiple Select> notetag and can be used by itself for an "All" scope, making the skill/item deal less damage if there's more enemies and more damage if there's less enemies. --- <Cannot Target User> - Used for: Skill, Item Notetags - This will cause the action to be unable to select the user as the target. - This is not a targeting scope. Instead, it is used in addition to any other targeting scopes out there. - When used with "All" scopes, the user is removed from the target pool. - This is also applied outside of battle. - If the user somehow enters the target pool, the user is then replaced by a random ally found in the party. --- JavaScript Notetag: Targeting-Related --- <JS Accuracy> code code rate = code;

Insert these tags in either the noteboxes of maps or the names of troops for them to take effect. If both are present for a specific battle, then priority goes to the setting found in the troop name. --- <Layout: type> <Battle Layout: type> - Used for: Map Notetags, Troop Name Tags, and Troop Comment Tags - Changes the battle layout style used for this specific map or battle. - Replace 'type' with 'default', 'list', 'xp', 'portrait', or 'border'. - Those with VisuMZ_3_FrontviewBattleUI can use 'frontview'. - Those with VisuMZ_3_SideviewBattleUI can use 'sideview'. - If using Troop Comment Tags, then as long as the tag appears in a comment found on any of the Troop's pages (even if they don't run), the tag will be considered in effect. --- Troop Size Tags --- <Extend: x> <Extend: x, x, x> - Used for: Troop Name Tags and Troop Comment Tags - Adds enemies from another troop to the current troop. - Enemies from another troop will retain their database positions. - Replace 'x' with the ID of the database troop entry you wish to add enemy members from. - Insert multiple x's to add from more troops. - Extended troop members will be added in the order they're listed. - Be cautious of how many enemies you add as too many will lag the battle system. We are not responsible for frame drops due to this. --- Troop Comment Tags Place these tags inside of a comment found in a troop page's event list. --- <Once Parallel When Start Battle> - Used for: Troop Page Comment Tags - Causes the troop page to immediately load the moment the battle scene begins to fade in (not after it fades in). This is faster than a turn 0 condition troop page. Troop page conditions are ignored. - This can be used for things like the Action Sequence Camera plugin, the Visual Battle Environment plugin, and/or initial battle poses and such in order to provide a near seamless battle transition experience. - This does NOT trigger when coming out of the options menu or party menu. - This WILL trigger when going from battle to battle nonstop via plugins like VisuStella MZ's Chain Battles. - When actors are moving towards their home positions, it will take around 30 frames by default. Use this information however you like. --- 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 MZ. Here is a list of Plugin Command(s) that you may use: --- Skills and items, when used in battle, have a pre-determined series of actions to display to the player as a means of representing what's going on with the action. For some game devs, this may not be enough and they would like to get more involved with the actions themselves. Action Sequences, added through this plugin, enable this. To give a skill or item a Custom Action Sequence, a couple of steps must be followed: --- 1. Insert the <Custom Action Sequence> notetag into the skill or item's notebox (or else this would not work as intended). 2. Give that skill/item a Common Event through the Effects box. The selected Common Event will contain all the Action Sequence data. 3. Create the Common Event with Action Sequence Plugin Commands and/or event commands to make the skill/item do what you want it to do. --- The Plugin Commands added through the Battle Core plugin focus entirely on Action Sequences. However, despite the fact that they're made for skills and items, some of these Action Sequence Plugin Commands can still be used for regular Troop events and Common Events. --- Action Sequence - Action Sets Action Sequence Action Sets are groups of commonly used Action Sequence Commands put together for more efficient usage. --- ACSET: Setup Action Set - The generic start to most actions.

Version 1.61: April 14, 2022 Documentation Update! Help file updated for new features. New Features! New Impact Effects added by Irina and collaborating with Manu Gaming!

Version 1.56: February 10, 2022 Documentation Update! Help file updated for new features. Feature Update! Once Parallels for battle now operate outside of the battle process and now will function consistently throughout. Update made by Olivia. New Features! New Troop Page comment tag added by Olivia and sponsored by Puddor: <Once Parallel When Start Battle> Causes the troop page to immediately run the moment the battle scene begins to fade in (not after it fades in). This is faster than a turn 0 condition troop page. Troop page conditions are ignored. This can be used for things like the Action Sequence Camera plugin, the Visual Battle Environment plugin, and/or initial battle poses and such in order to provide a near seamless battle transition experience. This does NOT trigger when coming out of the options menu or party menu screens. This WILL trigger when going from battle to battle nonstop via plugins like VisuStella MZ's Chain Battles. When actors are moving towards their home positions, it will take around 30 frames by default. Use this information however you like. Optimization Update! Plugin should run more optimized. Version 1.55: January 27 2022 Compatibility Update! RPG Maker MV animations with front view should now play in the correct area against actor faces. Update made by Olivia. Documentation Update!

New notetag added by Arisu. <Bypass Auto Action Sequence> This notetag is used for the game devs that have the Action Sequence Plugin Parameter "Auto Notetag" on for applying the notetag <Custom Action Sequence> to every skill and item with common events. This will allow items and skills to be able to launch their common events from the menu scene regardless of the inherent restriction to prevent action sequence based skills/items with common events from launching. Ignore this if you have "Auto Notetag" disabled or set to false. By default, this setting is set to false. Please be aware of the changes you've made to your game before using it. Version 1.54: January 13, 2022 Bug Fixes! RPG Maker MZ Bug Fix! Overly-Protective Substitute When an ally with critical health is being targeted by a friendly non-Certain Hit skill (such as a heal or buff) and another ally has the substitute state, the other ally would "protect" the originally targeted ally and take the heal or buff.

New Action Sequence notetags added by Yanfly and Arisu: <Common Event Key: name> <Common Event Keys: name, name, name> <Common Event Keys> List Style Will generate Common Events for the skill/item with a corresponding key.

Version 1.44: August 20, 2021 Documentation Update! Help file updated for new features. New Features! New Action Sequence added by Irina and sponsored by Anon. "ANIM: Play at Coordinate" Plays an animation on the screen at a specific x, y coordinate even if there is no sprite attached. Requires VisuMZ_0_CoreEngine! Version 1.43: July 23, 2021 Feature Update! Immortality now works different with instant death mechanics. Skill effects that apply instant death or attack states that apply instant death will now trigger a flag instead of cancelling immortality. The flag will remain until immortality is manually cancelled via Action Sequence and then proc the death effect. This way, animations can remain to the end with instant death mechanics in mind. This does not affect script calls. Version 1.42: July 16, 2021 Bug Fixes! Added another fail safe for empty common events used for pre-battle common events. Fix made by Olivia.

Pressing cancel on the Actor Command Window no longer switches between actors with a full TPB/ATB gauge before reaching the Party Command Window. This is to accomplish a couple of things: 1) reduce the number of button presses to reach the Party Command Window and 2) to prevent motion resets and disrupting action sequences. If this feature is vital to your battle system, we recommend that you do not use this plugin or any of the Battle Core-required plugins. Feature Updates Distortion sprite Y calculations will now be rounded upward for better visuals and prevent odd pixelation effects. Update made by Irina. Version 1.35: May 7, 2021 Bug Fixes!

Plugin Parameters > Mechanics Settings > Variables > Variable: Damage Plugin Parameters > Mechanics Settings > Variables > Variable: Healing Variable records target damage/healing during action. Variable reverts to 0 whenever an action starts.

Version 1.23: January 22, 2021 Documentation Update! Help file updated for new features. Feature Update! ACSET: All Targets Action Set and ACSET: Each Targets Action Set updated New parameter added: Dual/Multi Wield? Add times struck based on weapon quantity equipped? New Features! Dual Wielding now functions differently. Made by Olivia. Previously, RPG Maker MZ had "Dual Wielding" attack using both weapon animations at once, with the combined ATK of each weapon. It's confusing to look at and does not portray the nature of "Dual Wielding". Dual Wielding, or in the case of users adding in third and fourth weapons, Multi Wielding is now changed. Each weapon is displayed individually, each producing its own attack animation, showing each weapon type, and applying only that weapon's ATK, Traits, and related effects. It is no longer a combined effect to display everything at once like RPG Maker MZ default. If an actor has multiple weapon slots but some of them are unequipped, then the action will treat the attack as a single attack. There will be no barehanded attack to add on top of it. This is to match RPG Maker MZ's decision to omit a second animation if the same scenario is applied. New Action Sequence Plugin Commands added by Yanfly ANIM: Attack Animation 2+ Plays the animation associated with the user's 2nd weapon. Plays nothing if there is no 2nd weapon equipped. New Action Sequence Plugin Commands added by Olivia WEAPON: Clear Weapon Slot WEAPON: Next Weapon Slot WEAPON: Set Weapon Slot These are Action Sequence Plugin Commands for devs who want finer control over Dual/Multi Wielding weapons.

New Plugin Parameter snuck in by Arisu! Plugin Parameters > Action Sequences > Quality of Life > Auto Notetag Automatically apply the <Custom Action Sequence> notetag effect to any item or skill that has a Common Event? Any item or skill without a Common Event attached to it will use the Automatic Action Sequences instead. The <Auto Action Sequence> notetag will disable this effect for that particular skill or item. Arisu, you're going to be responsible for any bugs these may cause. Bring it!!!! And handling any bug report emails that are sent because this was turned on by accident.
