Do the prices of items change over time depending on how your player influences the game? This plugin allows you to create fluctuating price systems via RPG Maker MZ's variable system. These variables are able to change factors such as the base price, the base padding, rates, and flat additions. Features include all (but not limited to) the following: Notetags that allow management of the base, plus, rate, and flat modifiers towards buy and/or sell prices. JavaScript modifications for those who wish to finalize their calculations with a bit more control. Determine if the sell version of the notetags are affected by the standard sell rate.

These notetags will not work with your game if this plugin is OFF or not present. --- Price-Related Notetags --- <Price Base Variable: x> <Buy Base Variable: x> <Sell Base Variable: x> - Used for: Item, Weapon, Armor Notetags - Determines the 'base' price for the affected item, weapon, or armor. - By default, the price formula goes (base + plus) * rate + flat - With 'Price', the notetag will affect both 'Buy' and 'Sell' prices. - 'Buy' version of the notetag will only affect price when buying. - 'Sell' version of the notetag will only affect price when selling. - When selling, the base price is affected by the Sell Price Rate modifier if you decide to let it affect it. These settings can be altered in the Plugin Parameters. - Replace 'x' with the ID of the game variable whose value determines the 'base' price of this item, weapon, or armor. --- <Price Plus Variable: x> <Buy Plus Variable: x> <Sell Plus Variable: x> <Price Plus Variable: x, x, x> <Buy Plus Variable: x, x, x> <Sell Plus Variable: x, x, x> - Used for: Item, Weapon, Armor Notetags - Determines the 'plus' price for the affected item, weapon, or armor. - By default, the price formula goes (base + plus) * rate + flat - With 'Price', the notetag will affect both 'Buy' and 'Sell' prices. - 'Buy' version of the notetag will only affect price when buying. - 'Sell' version of the notetag will only affect price when selling. - When selling, the plus price is affected by the Sell Price Rate modifier if you decide to let it affect it. These settings can be altered in the Plugin Parameters. - Replace 'x' with the ID of the game variable whose value determines the 'plus' price of this item, weapon, or armor. - Insert multiple 'x' for more variables to contribute additively to the total 'plus' value amount when determining the price. - By default, finalized prices will round up. --- <Price Rate Variable: x> <Buy Rate Variable: x> <Sell Rate Variable: x> <Price Plus Variable: x, x, x> <Buy Plus Variable: x, x, x> <Sell Plus Variable: x, x, x> - Used for: Item, Weapon, Armor Notetags - Determines the 'rate' price for the affected item, weapon, or armor. - By default, the price formula goes (base + plus) * rate + flat - With 'Price', the notetag will affect both 'Buy' and 'Sell' prices. - 'Buy' version of the notetag will only affect price when buying. - 'Sell' version of the notetag will only affect price when selling. - When selling, the rate price is normally NOT affected by the Sell Price Rate modifier unless you decide to let it affect it. These settings can be altered in the Plugin Parameters. - Replace 'x' with the ID of the game variable whose value determines the 'rate' price of this item, weapon, or armor. - Insert multiple 'x' for more variables to contribute multiplicatively to the total 'rate' value amount when determining the price. - When the value of the marked variable is called upon, divide the value by 100 in order to determine the rate. - This means that if this variable's value is 250, it will have a multiplier rate of 2.50 and not 250.0. - By default, finalized prices will round up. --- <Price Flat Variable: x> <Buy Flat Variable: x> <Sell Flat Variable: x> <Price Flat Variable: x, x, x> <Buy Flat Variable: x, x, x> <Sell Flat Variable: x, x, x> - Used for: Item, Weapon, Armor Notetags - Determines the 'flat' price for the affected item, weapon, or armor. - By default, the price formula goes (base + plus) * rate + flat - With 'Price', the notetag will affect both 'Buy' and 'Sell' prices. - 'Buy' version of the notetag will only affect price when buying. - 'Sell' version of the notetag will only affect price when selling. - When selling, the flat price is affected by the Sell Price Rate modifier if you decide to let it affect it. These settings can be altered in the Plugin Parameters. - Replace 'x' with the ID of the game variable whose value determines the 'flat' price of this item, weapon, or armor. - Insert multiple 'x' for more variables to contribute additively to the total 'flat' value amount when determining the price. - By default, finalized prices will round up. --- Plugin Parameters General Settings These are the general settings used for this plugin in order to help govern and determine how price fluctuations function for buying and selling. --- Sell Rates Base Price Affected?: - Affect 'base' price with the sell rate? - Affected prices will sell for lower.
