VisuStella MZ This plugin is a part of the VisuStella MZ Plugin Library. Click here if you want to help support VisuStella on Patreon. Introduction States, buffs, and debuffs are amongst one of the most important aspects of the battle system. Therefore, relaying proper information to the player is extremely important. RPG Maker MZ does relay information to the player about the various states and effects, but it is far from perfect. This plugin allows you to add more detail and visual effects regarding states to relay proper data. Features include all (but not limited to) the following: Choose to display State Overlays and State Icons over actors and enemies. Create text popups for Buffs, Debuffs, and States along with full control over their color, flash, and flash duration. Play animations upon receiving or removing Buffs, Debuffs, and States. States can have repeating animations. States can change the tone of a sprite. States can freeze a sprite in place. Hovering effects that can be visibly applied to trait objects. 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. Major Changes This plugin adds some new hard-coded features to RPG Maker MZ's functions. The following is a list of them. --- State Motion Index and State Overlay Index The original RPG Maker MZ functions have been overwritten because they only display the motions and overlays of the highest priority state even if it does not have any motions while lower priority states with motions and overlays will be hidden. The changed code will now take the highest priority state motion index (or a custom one defined by a notetag) and the highest priority state overlay index to show those instead. --- Notetags 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. State-Related Notetags The following notetags are made for states. --- <Hide State Popup> - Used for: State Notetags - Don't display any of the popups for this state. --- <State Popup> text color: c flash color: r, g, b, a flash duration: d </State Popup> - Used for: State Notetags - Changes the settings of the state popup from the defaults declared by the Plugin Parameters. Each of the settings are optional. If the lines do not appear in the notetag, then the default values from the Plugin Parameters will be used instead. - Replace 'c' #rrggbb for custom colors or insert a regular number for text colors from the Window Skin. - Replace 'r', 'g', 'b', 'a' with number values ranging from 0 to 255 for 'red', 'green', 'blue', and 'alpha' to determine the flash color. - Replace 'd' with a number representing the amount of frames you want the flash duration to last for. Examples: <State Popup> text color: 3 </State Popup> <State Popup> text color: #abcdef flash color: 255, 255, 0, 160 </State Popup> <State Popup> flash color: 0, 255, 255, 160 flash duration: 90 </State Popup> <State Popup> flash duration: 777 </State Popup> --- <Add Animation: x> - Used for: State Notetags - Determines the battle animation to play when the state is applied. - Replace 'x' with a number representing the ID of the animation you wish to play when the state is added. - This does not work for states without icons nor the death state. --- <Erase Animation: x> - Used for: State Notetags - Determines the battle animation to play when the state is removed. - Replace 'x' with a number representing the ID of the animation you wish to play when the state is removed. - This does not work for states without icons nor the death state. --- <Repeat Animation: x> - Used for: State Notetags - Determines the battle animation to play in intervals when the battler is affected by it. - Replace 'x' with a number representing the ID of the animation you wish to play on repeat while the battler is affected by the state. - The battler will cycle through the various repeating state animations available through states. - WARNING: Abusing Repeat Animations can jeopardize game performance. --- <State Motion: Walk> <State Motion: Wait> <State Motion: Chant> <State Motion: Guard> <State Motion: Damage> <State Motion: Evade> <State Motion: Thrust> <State Motion: Swing> <State Motion: Missile> <State Motion: Skill> <State Motion: Spell> <State Motion: Item> <State Motion: Escape> <State Motion: Victory> <State Motion: Dying> <State Motion: Abnormal> <State Motion: Sleep> <State Motion: Dead> - Used for: State Notetags - Lets you determine what kind of state motion to play when the battler is affected by the state. - The battler will only play the highest priority state motion. --- <State Motion Lock> - Used for: State Notetags - If an actor or animated sideview enemy is affected by a state that has this notetag, their animation will be locked in place while this state is in effect. --- <State Tone: red, green, blue, gray> - Used for: State Notetags - Tints the battler with a tone determined by the state. - Replace 'red', 'green', 'blue' with a value between -255 and 255. - Replace 'gray' with a value between 0 and 255. - If a battler has multiple states with tones, then the state with the highest priority value is applied to the battler. --- Hover Notetags <Visual Hover Effect> Base: x Speed: y Rate: z Death: case </Visual Hover Effect> - Used for: Actor, Class, Skill, Item, Weapon, Armor, Enemy, State Notetags - Creates a hover effect when tied to a trait object. - The 'base' value determines the minimum height above the ground for the hover effect. Replace 'x' with a number representing the pixel height. - The 'speed' value determines the flat adjustment towards the wobbling change. Replace 'y' with a number representing the speed. Lower values move faster while higher values move slower. - The 'rate' determines the fluctuation rate when the hover effect bobbles up and down. Replace 'z' with a number representing the fluctuation rate. - The 'death' scenario lets you decide if you want the hovering battler to remain hovering if they're dead or fall down to the floor. Replace 'case' with 'Hover' or 'Floor'. Example: <Visual Hover Effect> Base: 100 Speed: 20 Rate: 5.0 Death: floor </Visual Hover Effect> --- Plugin Parameters General Settings General settings for Visual State Effects. --- Actors Show State Overlay?: - Show state overlays over an actor's head?
