If the active chain mechanic is disabled within this time frame (through an action sequence command) then no chain skill will be automatically selected. Feature Update! Added a 200 millisecond delay before a chain skill is automatically selected through Auto Battle.

Changed the description of Plugin Parameter 'Action End Update' to 'Refer to "Major Changes" in Help File for explanation.' Added examples of "Action End Update" under "Major Changes" The new state: "Fiery Blade" will allow the affected battler to deal fire elemental damage. With Action End, this means for 5 actions, those attacks will deal fire damage. This means that if no action is taken, due to a status effect like "Sleep" or "Stun", then the duration count will not decrease. On the flip side, if the battler performs multiple actions a turn, then the duration count drops faster because more actions have been spent. However, if this "Fiery Blade" state was using Turn End instead, it will have its duration reduced by 1 each turn, regardless of "Sleep" or "Stun" states, and regardless of how many actions are performed each turn. - Tier 2 (3 Plugin Updates) - Battle System - ATB VisuStella MZ Version 1.34: March 20, 2025 Bug Fixes!

Requires VisuMZ_0_CoreEngine! - Tier 3 (6 Plugin Updates) - Auto Skill Triggers VisuStella MZ Version 1.17: March 20, 2025 Documentation Update! Help file updated for new features. New Features! New Plugin Parameters added by Arisu: Plugin Parameters > General Settings: These are general settings used for this plugin. These are primarily used to impose a limit on the number of auto skill triggers that can happen per battler per turn (meaning each member in battle has that limit individually and not as a whole). Generally speaking, we recommend imposing limits limits like MP costs, TP costs, cooldowns, and the like. This is because auto skill triggers, when left unchecked and reacting to everything, can cause a runaway effect where the player no longer inputs anything. Instead, it is best to put a limit (even if high) on the number of auto triggers to prevent such a thing from happening. If you still want seemingly unlimited auto skill triggers, change the numbers to 100 or something, but keep in mind that we're not responsible for runaway effects when the risk of it happening is already mentioned. Plugin Parameters > Limit Per Turn (Turn-Based) Turn-Based Only. How many triggers per battler per turn? Higher risk of runaway auto triggers at higher counts. Plugin Parameters > Limit Per Turn (TPB-Based) TPB-Only. How many triggers per battler per turn? Higher risk of runaway auto triggers at higher counts. - Battle AI VisuStella MZ Version 1.29: March 20, 2025 Bug Fixes!

Updated for RPG Maker MZ Core Scripts 1.9.0! Removed picture limit of 100 from Picture-related Plugin Commands. Better compatibility with different icon sizes. Documentation Update! Under Plugin Parameters: Menu Button Assist Window Added text segments under Split "Escape" This means you need to go to your own project's rmmz_core.js and modify Input.keyMapper to have buttons with "cancel" and "menu" instead of only "escape". If there are none found, an error message will appear telling you to do so, or set the 'Split "Escape"' option to false. If you are using Options Core's Rebind Keyboard option, be sure to have those have "cancel" and "menu" options inside there, too. Feature Update! Plugin Parameters > Button Assist > Split "Escape" will now show an error message if a custom Input.keyMapper is not found with the "cancel" and "menu" keys implemented. Update made by Irina.

Added new section in help file for "Keyboard/Controller Rebind Settings": Late Retroactive Updating of WASD If you've decided to enable Keyboard/Controller Rebind, decided to enable VisuMZ Core Engine's "WASD Movement" after your project has config.rmmzsave in your project's /save/ folder, then the newly added 'WASD Controls' will NOT be updated retroactively. This can be remedied in one of two ways: 1. Go into your keybindings and add them in manually (arrow keys still retain functionality). You may need to readjust the "Shift Right" option, too. 2. Delete the config.rmmzsave file from /save/ and the game will generate you a new one with the updated "WASD Movement" controls. This retroactive non-update will only affect your players if they've already begun playing your game with a version before "WASD Movement" was enabled and has a config.rmmzsave file already made. Players that are affected by this can just simply update and add the 'WASD controls' on their own. Otherwise, a new player would not experience this at all. - Skills and States Core VisuStella MZ Version 1.48: December 19, 2024 Documentation Update! Help file updated for new features.

Don't worry, for these, you don't have to change the currently used database name. Go straight to the CSV and insert in a new key for that particular database name.

If there isn't any in the CSV file, then the default database text entry will be used. New Features!

Allows a piece of armor to belong to multiple ETypes. This means a glove can be equipped as "Armgear" or as an "Accessory" if you so choose. - Main Menu Core VisuStella MZ Version 1.22: October 12, 2023 Feature Update! Subcategories are now maintained when exiting a scene pushed forward by a subcategory.

It appears we've left out some notetags/comment tags that could be used: <x Frames Decay Switch On: id> <x Frames Decay Switches On: id, id, id> <x Frames Decay Switch Off: id> <x Frames Decay Switches Off: id, id, id> These should now appear in the help file. - Evolution Matrix Skills VisuStella MZ Version 1.05: October 12, 2023 Documentation Update: Help file updated for new features. Added "VisuMZ_3_SkillCooldowns" to "VisuStella MZ Compatibility" in help. When using skills with cooldowns through the Evolution Skill Matrix, you may have noticed that the cooldowns may seemingly have -1 less turn. The reason is because the actor's skills may have gone through a cooldown update before the next instance of the Evolution Skill Matrix appears. It is more noticeable when using <Cooldown: 1> with 1 turn. Normally, upon regular input for selecting skills normally, the actor does not go through the second cooldown update so a skill with <Cooldown: 1> does have its effect "immediately" reduced. To remedy this, adjust the Plugin Parameter "Adjust Cooldowns" to alter how many extra turns should be applied to cooldowns when used through the skill matrix. We recommend +1. New Features! New Plugin Parameter added by Irina: Compatibility > Adjust Cooldowns: Adjust any newly applied cooldowns by this much when used through the matrix. - Life State Effects VisuStella MZ Version 1.05: October 12, 2023 Bug Fixes! Fixed a bug where if an undead target absorbs elemental damage, they would take damage instead of recovering it. This is now reversed and undead targets can now absorb the dark elemental energy you throw at it. Fix made by Irina. Documentation Update! Help file updated for <Undead> notetag. If the battler is the target of an elemental attack and the battler would absorb that element, the target will bypass the undead effect and recovers HP instead. Now your zombies can absorb "Darkness" elements. - Tier 4 (1 Plugin Updates) - Animated Pictures VisuStella MZ Version 1.04: October 12, 2023 Feature Update!

This will require them to be in the ON state. If the game dev has set the switch ON, and then the player has enabled that challenge entry, the game dev can no longer set the switch to OFF until the player has set the entry to off. This is to prevent the player from getting confused as to why the challenge entry is suddenly disabled without their knowledge. If the player sets the switch to OFF and then the game dev sets the required switch to OFF, then the effect can be turned off properly in the Challenge System menu and hidden from accessibility. Feature Update! Changing Required Switch states to OFF will be locked out if a challenge entry is using it in order to prevent confusion. Update by Irina. New Features! New Plugin Commands added: Reset: Global Challenge Entries Reset: Local Challenge Entries Resets all global challenges/local challenge and turns off all related entries to that challenge set. - Dragonbones Union VisuStella MZ Version 1.29: September 14, 2023 Bug Fixes!

Update made by Irina. - Equip Battle Skills VisuStella MZ Version 1.02: August 17, 2023 Documentation Update! Explanation for Battle Command > Skill Types Substitute updated. If an actor uses equipped battle skills, skill types added by the Battle Command 'skills' will be substituted for a single category, 'battle skills'. Here, only the equipped skills for battle will be listed. However, any uses of 'SType: x' or 'SType: name' will still enable those specific skill types to be fully usable. This is also how to imitate Yanfly Engine Plugins' version of "Allowed Types" for Equip Battle Skills. This does NOT mean that if you use 'SType: x' that only the equipped skills will appear in there and the non-equipped skills will be unavailable. This means that for 'SType: x' skill access, ALL of the skills for that skill type linked to the actor will become available regardless of what is equipped for the battle skills or not. - Equipment Set Bonuses VisuStella MZ Version 1.04: August 17, 2023 Compatibility Update!
