Sometimes, there are items that are simply not useful to the player anymore. In that case, why not give players the option to break down the item into something a little bit more useful? Using this plugin, players can break down and disassemble items, weapons, and armors into something else. Using different types of disassemblers, the player can get different types of items back, too.

Notetags


Making items be disassemble-able can be done with these notetags:

Item, Weapon, and Armor Notetags:

<Disassemble Pool>
item
item
</Disassemble Pool>
This is the pool of items that will be given when using any disassemblers. Replace the ‘item’ in the notetag setup with one of the syntax in the notetag Item Pool Format list below.

<Disassemble Pool: type>
item
item
</Disassemble Pool: type>
This is the pool of items made specifically for the disassembler type. The items listed in this pool will only drop if the disassembler’s type matches this pool’s type. Replace the ‘item’ in the notetag setup with one of the syntax in the notetag Item Pool Format list below.

— Item Pool Format —

item x
weapon x
armor x
name
– This adds item, weapon, or armor ID x to the disassemble pool. If you plan on using the item’s name and multiple objects in the database have the same name, priority will be given to items, weapons, then armors in that order. Then, priority is then given to the entry with the highest ID.

item x: y%
weapon x: y%
armor x: y%
name: y%
– If you wish for a chance of getting an item when disassembling instead of a 100% chance of getting it, you can use this format. For the item, there will be a y% chance of getting the item when disassembling.

x2 item y
x3 weapon y
x4 armor y
x5 name
– When disassembling, items can yield quantities. You can set the amount of an item given when disassembling using this setup.

x2-3 item y
x3-5 weapon y
x5-8 armor y
x8-10 name
– If you wish for there to be random quantity amounts, you can use this disassembling format to set the amount of quantity given of an item from a minimum amount to a maximum amount.

x2 item y: z%
x3 weapon y: z%
x4 armor y: z%
x5 name: z%
– To make an item yield a larger quantity than 1 with a random success rate of doing it, use the above format for the item line.

x2-3 item y: z%
x3-5 weapon y: z%
x5-8 armor y: z%
x8-10 name: z%
– To give a random amount of item quantities while having a random success rate of acquiring them item during a disassembling process, use the above item line format.

*NOTE: When turning an item into a Disassembler, it will become a non-Independent item.

<Disassembler>
– This item can be used to disassemble all types of items. This will fall under the ‘All’ category.

<Disassembler: +x%>
<Disassembler: -x%>
– This item can be used to disassemble all types of items with a +/- x% success rate than normal. This will fall under the ‘All’ category.

<Disassembler: type>
– This item can be used to disassemble item categories for ‘All’ and ‘type’ where ‘type’ is the disassemble pool type. Insert multiples of this notetag if you want this item to be able to disassemble more pool types.

<Disassembler: type +x%>
<Disassembler: type -x%>
– This item can be used to disassemble item categories for ‘All’ and ‘type’ where ‘type’ is the disassemble pool type. This has a success rate change of +/-% than normal. Insert multiples of this notetag if you want this item to be able to disassemble more pool types.

<Disassemble Sound Name: filename>
<Disassemble Sound Volume: x>
<Disassemble Sound Pitch: x>
<Disassemble Sound Pan: +x> or <Disassemble Sound Pan: -x>
– When this item is disassembled, it will play this sound effect. The filename is case sensitive. Do not include the filename extension.


Lunatic Mode – Custom Disassembled Effect


For those with JavaScript experience, you can have custom effects occur when an item is disassembled using the following notetag:

Item, Weapon, and Armor Notetags:

<Custom Disassembled Effect>
if (targetItem.name === ‘Great Sword’) {
results.push($dataItems[1]);
} else if (effectItem.name === ‘Salvage Kit’) {
results.push($dataItems[2]);
}
</Custom Disassembled Effect>
– The ‘results’ variable is an array that contains all of the items that have been collected. The variable ‘targetItem’ refers to the item being disassembled and ‘effectItem’ refers to the item disassembling the target item. This will occur before any custom disassembler effects.
*NOTE: This requires that item to have items to gain when disassembling to begin with or else the item cannot be disassembled.


Lunatic Mode – Custom Disassembler Effect


For those with JavaScript experience, you can have custom effects occur when an item is used to disassemble using the following notetag:

Item, Weapon, and Armor Notetags:

<Custom Disassembler Effect>
if (targetItem.name === ‘Great Sword’) {
results.push($dataItems[1]);
} else if (effectItem.name === ‘Salvage Kit’) {
results.push($dataItems[2]);
}
</Custom Disassembler Effect>
– The ‘results’ variable is an array that contains all of the items that have been collected. The variable ‘targetItem’ refers to the item being disassembled and ‘effectItem’ refers to the item disassembling the target item. This will occur after any custom disassembled effects.
*NOTE: This item is required to have a disassembler type.
