Click here if you want to help support VisuStella on Patreon. Introduction This plugin adds Boost Points, a mechanic which augments the potency of skills and/or items based on the type of notetag they have. The newly added mechanic allows actors and/or enemies to temporarily power themselves up for the current turn by using the Boost Points resource. Boost Points are gained at the end of each turn if the battler did not use any Boost Points. While Boosted, actions can deal more damage, hit more times, make buffs/debuffs or states last longer, and more! Features include all (but not limited to) the following: Add a new battle resource to your game: Boost Points! Determine how many Boost Points can be stored at a time! Also determine how many Boost Points can be used at a time! Determine how Boosting affects skills and items through the different kinds of notetags provided through this plug. Enemies can Boost, too! As long as the proper notetags are in place! Utilize Shortcut Keys to quickly Boost skills and/or items. Boosting skills and/or items can also affect the text displayed in the Help Window, too! Requirements This plugin is made for RPG Maker MZ. This will not work in other iterations of RPG Maker. Required Plugin List Core Engine VisuStella MZ Battle Core VisuStella MZ Skills and States 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. Extra Features There are some extra features found if other VisuStella MZ plugins are found present in the Plugin Manager list. --- Weakness Display VisuStella MZ The "Analyze" ability in the VisuStella MZ Weakness Display can be Boosted through this plugin and reveal multiple weaknesses at a time. --- 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. --- Battle Core 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. --- Battle System - BTB VisuStella MZ The Boost Actions plugin cannot be used together with Battle System - BTB. If the Battle System is switched to using Battle System - BTB, then the Boost Actions plugin will shut itself off. The reason why these plugins cannot work together is because their mechanics play off too similarly to each other and cause conflicts. We, the plugin developer team, highly recommend that you utilize Battle System - BTB's Brave system instead of the Boost system to make the best use of the battle system in effect. --- 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. --- Boost Effect-Related Notetags --- <Boost Damage> - Used for: Skill, Item Notetags - Boosts will alter the damage dealt by this skill/item. - The amount of damage increased will be determined by the Plugin Parameter Mechanical settings for Damage Multipliers and Addition. - When using Action Sequences, this will have no effect outside of the MECH: Action Effect command. --- <Boost Turns> - Used for: Skill, Item Notetags - Boosts will alter the duration of skills, buffs, and debuffs added by this skill/item. - The amount of turns increased will be determined by the Plugin Parameter Mechanical settings for Turn Multipliers and Addition. -

Used for: Skill, Item Notetags - Boosts will alter the number of Boost Points acquired through the <Target Boost Points: +x> and <User Boost Points: +x> notetags. - The power of the effect will be determined by the Plugin Parameter Mechanical settings for Effect Multipliers and Addition. - When using Action Sequences, this will have no effect outside of the MECH: Action Effect command. --- <Boost Analyze> - Used for: Skill, Item Notetags - Requires VisuMZ_3_WeaknessDisplay! - Boosts will alter the number of revealed weaknesses by this skill/item. - The amount of weaknesses revealed will be determined by the Plugin Parameter Mechanical settings for Analyze Multipliers and Addition. - When using Action Sequences, this will have no effect outside of the MECH: Action Effect command. --- Boost Points Gain/Loss-Related Notetags --- <User Boost Points: +x> <User Boost Points: -x> <Target Boost Points: +x> <Target Boost Points: -x> -

They are used to display things that text normally can't produce on its own, such as colors, get the name of a specific actor, change icons, and more. RPG Maker MZ already comes with text codes of its own: \V[n] Will be replaced with the value of the nth variable. \N[n] Will be replaced with the name of the nth actor. \P[n] Will be replaced by the name of the nth (arranged order) party member. \G Will be replaced by the currency unit. \C[n] Draw the subsequent text in the nth color. Text color conforms to the contents of the [Window.png] system image. \I[n] Draws the nth icon. \FS[n] Changes the text font size to 'n'. \{ Increases the text by 1 step. \} Decreases the text by 1 step. \\ Replaced with the backslash character. \$ Open the gold window. \. Wait for 1/4 second. \| Wait for 1 second. \! Wait for button input. \> Display remaining text on same line all at once. \< Cancel the effect that displays text all at once. \^ Do not wait for input after displaying the next. The following are text codes that you may use with this plugin. Boosting-Related Text Codes These text codes are used for Help Window descriptions. When Boosting, the text displayed in the Help Window can change to reflect the amount boosted. --- ------------------ ------------------------------------------------------- Text Code Effect (Help Window Text Only) ------------------ ------------------------------------------------------- \boostDamage[x] This will apply damage modifiers to number x based on the actor's currently used Boost amount. \boostTurn[x] This will apply turn modifiers to number x based on the actor's currently used Boost amount. \boostRepeat[x] This will apply repeat hit modifiers to number x based on the actor's currently used Boost amount. \boostEffect[x] This will apply Boost Point effect modifiers to number x based on the actor's currently used Boost amount. \boostAnalyze[x] This will apply analyze modifiers to number x based on the actor's currently used Boost amount. --- ---------------- ------------------------------------------------------- Text Code Effect (Help Window Text Only) ---------------- ------------------------------------------------------- \boost[text] The text inside the brackets won't appear unless at least 1 Boost is used. \boost0[text] The text inside the brackets won't appear unless if any Boost is used. \boost>=x[text] The text inside the brackets will only appear if at least x Boosts are used. \boost>x[text] The text inside the brackets will only appear if more than x Boosts are used. \boost=x[text] The text inside the brackets will only appear if exactly x Boosts are used. \boost<x[text] The text inside the brackets will only appear if less than x Boosts are used. \boost<=x[text] The text inside the brackets will only appear if at most x Boosts are used. --- Plugin Parameters Mechanics Settings These Plugin Parameters govern the mechanics behind Boost Points and Boosting for this RPG Maker MZ plugin. --- Boost Points Max Stored: - Maximum Boost Points that can be stored at any time.
