Sometimes, players would like to be able to increase or decrease the difficulty of your game at their own accord. The Difficulty Slider becomes a feature accessible from the game’s option menu with this plugin installed. There, the player is able to alter the level of the enemies that appear in battle within a certain range (set by you, the developer). 


Introduction


Please wait while you are redirected...or Click Here if you do not want to wait.

This plugin requires YEP_EnemyLevels. Make sure this plugin is located under YEP_EnemyLevels in the plugin list.

Sometimes, players would like to be able to increase or decrease the difficulty of your game at their own accord. The Difficulty Slider becomes a feature accessible from the game’s option menu with this plugin installed. There, the player is able to alter the level of the enemies that appear in battle within a certain range (set by you, the developer).

The Difficulty Slider will only alter the level of the enemies and nothing else. Therefore, a 200% difficulty will mean only a 200% increase in level but not necessarily a 200% increase in ATK, for example. The enemies’ ATK value will be based off of its ATK at 200% the original level.

If the Difficulty Slider is disabled in the game, then the level multiplier will revert back to 100%. You can enable and disable this feature at will through plugin commands.


Notetags


There is a notetag you can use for the Difficulty Slider plugin.

Enemy Notetag:

<Unaffected by Difficulty Slider>
– This will make the enemy’s level unaffected by the difficulty slider, meaning the enemy will always be at 100% its current calculated level.


Plugin Commands


For those who wish to show/hide the Difficulty Slider from the options menu midway through the game, you can control it using these plugin commands:

Plugin Commands:

ShowDifficultySlider
– This will show the Difficulty Slider and enable it making it apply to all enemies in the game that do not have an unaffected notetag.

HideDifficultySlider
– This will hide the Difficulty Slider and also disable the slider’s effects on enemy levels in the game.


Happy RPG Making!
