Introduction

The Battle Core plugin revamps the battle engine provided by RPG Maker MZ tobecome more flexible, streamlined, and support a variety of features. Theupdated battle engine allows for custom Action Sequences, battle layoutstyles, and a lot of control over the battle mechanics, too.

Features include all (but not limited to) the following:

Action Sequence Plugin Commands to give you full control over what happens during the course of a skill or item.
Animated Sideview Battler support for enemies!
Auto Battle options for party-wide and actor-only instances.
Base Troop Events to quickly streamline events for all Troop events.
Battle Command control to let you change which commands appear for actors.
Battle Layout styles to change the way the battle scene looks.
Casting animation support for skills.
Critical Hit control over the success rate formula and damage multipliers.
Custom target scopes added for skills and items.
Damage formula control, including Damage Styles.
Damage caps, both hard caps and soft caps.
Damage traits such Armor Penetration/Reduction to bypass defenses.
Elements & Status Menu Core support for traits.
Multitude of JavaScript notetags and global Plugin Parameters to let you make a variety of effects across various instances during battle.
Party Command window can be skipped/disabled entirely.
Weather effects now show in battle.
Streamlined Battle Log to remove redundant information and improve the flow of battle.
Visual HP Gauges can be displayed above the heads of actors and/or enemies with a possible requirement for enemies to be defeated at least once first in order for them to show.

Requirements

This plugin is made for RPG Maker MZ. This will not work in other iterationsof RPG Maker.

Tier 1

This plugin is a Tier 1 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 will overwrite some core parts of the RPG Maker MZ base code inorder to ensure the Battle Core plugin will work at full capacity. Thefollowing are explanations of what has been changed.

---

Action Sequences

Action sequences are now done either entirely by the Battle Log Window orthrough common events if the <Custom Action Sequence> notetag is used.In RPG Maker MZ by default, Action Sequences would be a mixture of using theBattle Log Window, the Battle Manager, and the Battle Scene, making it hardto fully grab control of the situation.

---

Action Speed

Action speeds determine the turn order in the default battle system. TheAGI of a battle unit is also taken into consideration. However, the randomvariance applied to the action speed system makes the turn order extremelychaotic and hard for the player to determine. Thus, the random varianceaspect of it has been turned off. This can be reenabled by default throughPlugin Parameters => Mechanics Settings => Allow Random Speed?

---

Animated Sideview Battler Support For Enemies

Enemies can now use Sideview Actor sprites for themselves! They willbehave like actors and can even carry their own set of weapons for physicalattacks. These must be set up using notetags. More information can be foundin the notetag section.

As the sprites are normally used for actors, some changes have been madeto Sprite_Actor to be able to support both actors and enemies. These changesshould have minimal impact on other plugins.

---

Battle Sprite Updates

A lot of functions in Sprite_Battler, Sprite_Actor, and Sprite_Enemy havebeen overwritten to make the new Action Sequence system added by this pluginpossible. These changes make it possible for the sprites to move anywhere onthe screen, jump, float, change visibility, and more.

---

Change Battleback in Battle

By default, the Change Battleback event command does not work in battle.Any settings made to it will only reflect in the following battle. Now, ifthe battleback event command is used during battle, it will reflect uponany new changes immediately.

---

Critical Hit - LUK Influence

The LUK Buffs now affect the critical hit rate based off how the formulais now calculated. Each stack of a LUK Buff will double the critical hitrate and compound upon that. That means a x1 LUK Buff stack will raise it byx2, a x2 LUK Buff stack will raise the critical hit rate by x4, a x3 LUKBuff Stack will raise the critical hit rate stack by x8, and so on.

LUK also plays a role in how much damage is dealt with critical hits. Thedefault critical hit multiplier has been reduced from x3 to x2. However, apercentage of LUK will added on (based off the user's CRI rate) onto thefinalized critical damage. If the user's CRI rate is 4%, then 4% of the userLUK value will also be added onto the damage.

This change can be altered through Plugin Parameters => Damage Settings =>Critical Hits => JS: Rate Formula and JS: Damage Formula.

---

Damage Popups

Damage popups are now formatted with + and - to determine healing anddamage. MP Damage will also include "MP" at the back. This is to make itclearer what each colored variant of the damage popup means as well as helpcolor blind players read the on-screen data properly.

Damage popups have also been rewritten to show all changed aspects insteadof just one. Previously with RPG Maker MZ, if an action would deal both HPand MP damage, only one of them would show. Now, everything is separated andboth HP and MP changes will at a time.

---

Dual Wield

Previously, RPG Maker MZ had "Dual Wielding" attack using both weaponanimations at once, with the combined ATK of each weapon. It's confusing tolook at and does not portray the nature of "Dual Wielding".

Dual Wielding, or in the case of users adding in third and fourth weapons,Multi Wielding is now changed. Each weapon is displayed individually, eachproducing its own attack animation, showing each weapon type, and applyingonly that weapon's ATK, Traits, and related effects. It is no longer acombined effect to display everything at once like RPG Maker MZ default.

If an actor has multiple weapon slots but some of them are unequipped,then the action will treat the attack as a single attack. There will be nobarehanded attack to add on top of it. This is to match RPG Maker MZ'sdecision to omit a second animation if the same scenario is applied.

Force Action

Previously, Forced Actions would interrupt the middle of an event toperform an action. However, with the addition of more flexible ActionSequences, the pre-existing Force Action system would not be able to existand would require being remade.

Forced Actions now are instead, added to a separate queue from the actionbattler list. Whenever an action and/or common event is completed, then ifthere's a Forced Action battler queued, then the Forced Action battler willhave its turn. This is the cleanest method available and avoids the mostconflicts possible.

This means if you planned to make cinematic sequences with Forced Actions,you will need to account for the queued Force Actions. However, in the caseof battle cinematics, we would highly recommend that you use the newly addedAction Sequence Plugin Commands instead as those give you more control thanany Force Action ever could.

---

Random Scope

The skill and item targeting scopes for Random Enemy, 2 Random Enemies,3 Random Enemies, 4 Random Enemies will now ignore TGR and utilize truerandomness.

---

Spriteset_Battle Update

The spriteset now has extra containers to separate battlers (actors andenemies), animations, and damage. This is to make actors and enemy battlersprites more efficient to sort (if enabled), so that animations won'tinterfere with and cover damage sprites, and to make sure damage sprites areunaffected by screen tints in order to ensure the player will always have aclear read on the information relaying sprites.

---

TPB/ATB Active Battle Actor Shifting

The above image is a demonstration of what the bug looks like in an empty project.

Pressing cancel on the Actor Command Window no longer switches betweenactors with a full TPB/ATB gauge before reaching the Party Command Window.This is to accomplish a couple of things: 1) reduce the number of buttonpresses to reach the Party Command Window and 2) to prevent motion resetsand disrupting action sequences. If this feature is vital to your battlesystem, we recommend that you do not use this plugin or any of the BattleCore-required plugins.

---

Weather Displayed in Battle

Previously, weather has not been displayed in battle. This means that anyweather effects placed on the map do not transfer over to battle and causesa huge disconnect for players. The Battle Core plugin will add weathereffects to match the map's weather conditions. Any changes made to weatherthrough event commands midway through battle will also be reflected.

---

Base Troops

Base Troops can be found, declared, and modified in the Plugin Parameters =>Mechanics Settings => Base Troop ID's. All of the listed Troop ID's herewill have their page events replicated and placed under all other troopsfound in the database.

---

This means that if you have an event that runs on Turn 1 of a Base Troop,then for every troop out there, that same event will also run on Turn 1,as well. This is useful for those who wish to customize their battle systemfurther and to reduce the amount of work needed to copy/paste said eventpages into every database troop object manually.

---

Damage Styles

Damage Styles are a new feature added through the Battle Core plugin. Whenusing certain Battle Styles, you can completely ignore typing in the wholedamage formula inside the damage formula input box, and instead, inserteither a power amount or a multiplier depending on the Damage Style. Theplugin will then automatically calculate damage using that value factoringin ATK, DEF, MAT, MDF values.

---

Here is a list of the Damage Styles that come with this plugin by default.You can add in your own and even edit them to your liking.Or just remove them if you want.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Style Use Formula As PH/MA Disparity Stat Scale Damage Scale- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Standard Formula No Varies VariesArmorScaling Formula No Varies VariesCT Multiplier Yes Low NormalD4 Multiplier No High NormalDQ Multiplier No Low LowFF7 Power Yes Low HighFF8 Power Yes Medium NormalFF9 Power Yes Low NormalFF10 Power Yes Medium HighMK Multiplier No Medium LowMOBA Multiplier No Medium NormalPKMN Power No Low Normal

Use the above chart to figure out which Damage Style best fits your game,if you plan on using them.

The 'Standard' style is the same as the 'Manual' formula input, except thatit allows for the support of <Armor Penetration> and <Armor Reduction>notetags.

The 'Armor Scaling' style allows you to type in the base damage calculationwithout the need to type in any defending modifiers.

NOTE: While these are based off the damage formulas found in other games,not all of them are exact replicas. Many of them are adapted for use inRPG Maker MZ since not all RPG's use the same set of parameters and not allexternal multipliers function the same way as RPG Maker MZ.

---

Style:

This is what the Damage Style is.

Use Formula As:

This is what you insert into the formula box.
Formula: Type in the formula for the action just as you would normally.
Multiplier: Type in the multiplier for the action. Use float values. This means 250% is typed out as 2.50
Power: Type in the power constant for the action. Use whole numbers. Type in something like 16 for a power constant.

PH/MA Disparity:

Is there a disparity between how Physical Attacks and Magical Attacks are calculated?
If yes, then physical attacks and magical attacks will have different formulas used.
If no, then physical attacks and magical attacks will share similar formulas for how they're calculated.

Stat Scale:

How much should stats scale throughout the game?
Low: Keep them under 100 for the best results.
Medium: Numbers work from low to mid 400's for best results.
High: The numbers really shine once they're higher.

Damage Scale:

How much does damage vary depending on small parameter changes?
Low: Very little increase from parameter changes.
Normal: Damage scales close to proportionally with parameter changes.
High: Damage can boost itself drastically with parameter changes.

---

To determine what kind of parameters are used for the Damage Styles, theywill depend on two things: the action's 'Hit Type' (ie Physical Attack,Magical Attack, and Certain Hit) and the action's 'Damage Type' (ie. Damage,Recovery, or Drain).

Certain Hit tends to use whichever value is higher: ATK or MAT, and thenignores the target's defense values. Use Certain Hits for 'True Damage'.

Use the chart below to figure out everything else:

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Hit Type Damage Type Attacker Parameter Defender Parameter- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Physical Damage ATK DEFMagical Damage MAT MDFCertain Hit Damage Larger (ATK, MAT) -Ignores-Physical Recover DEF -Ignores-Magical Recover MDF -Ignores-Certain Hit Recover Larger (ATK, MAT) -Ignores-Physical Drain ATK DEFMagical Drain MAT MDFCertain Hit Drain Larger (ATK, MAT) -Ignores-

These can be modified within the Plugin Parameters in the individualDamage Styles themselves.

---

Skills and Items can use different Damage Styles from the setting you'veselected in the Plugin Parameters. They can be altered to have differentDamage Styles through the usage of a notetag:

<Damage Style: name>

This will use whichever style is found in the Plugin Parameters.

If "Manual" is used, then no style will be used and all calculations will bemade strictly based off the formula found inside the formula box.

VisuStella MZ Compatibility

While this plugin is compatible with the majority of the VisuStella MZplugin library, it is not compatible with specific plugins or specificfeatures. This section will highlight the main plugins/features that willnot be compatible with this plugin or put focus on how the make certainfeatures compatible.

---

Boost Action VisuStella MZ

When using Action Sequences, Boost effects for damage, turn extensions,analyze, etc. will not occur for anything other than the Action Sequence:"MECH: Action Effect" in order to maintain controlled effects. However, ifyou do want to apply bonuses for Boosts, utilize "MECH: Boost Store Data" tostore inside a variable how many times Boosts were used. This can be usedhowever which way you want it to as long as it is manageable through eventsand Common Events.

---

Notetags

RPG Maker MZ's editor is unable to allow for custom traits/properties that a game dev may wish to associate with a database object, event, map, etc. Notetags are used to work around such limitations by allowing the game dev to tag certain traits/properties using specific Notetags declared by the related plugin.

Here is a list of Notetag(s) that you may use.

The following are notetags that have been added through this plugin. Thesenotetags will not work with your game if this plugin is OFF or not present.

HP Gauge-Related Notetags

The following notetags allow you to set whether or not HP Gauges can bedisplayed by enemies regardless of Plugin Parameter settings.

---

<Show HP Gauge>- Used for: Enemy Notetags- Will always show the HP Gauge for the enemy regardless of the defeat requirement setting.- This does not bypass the player's Options preferences.- This does not bypass disabling enemy HP Gauges as a whole.

---

<Hide HP Gauge>- Used for: Enemy Notetags- Will always hide the HP Gauge for the enemy regardless of the defeat requirement setting.- This does not bypass the player's Options preferences.

---

<Battle UI Offset: +x, +y><Battle UI Offset: -x, -y><Battle UI Offset X: +x><Battle UI Offset X: -x><Battle UI Offset Y: +y><Battle UI Offset Y: -y>- Used for: Actor and Enemy Notetags- Adjusts the offset of HP Gauges and State Icons above the heads of actors and enemies.- Replace 'x' with a number value that offsets the x coordinate.- Negative x values offset left. Positive x values offset right.- Replace 'y' with a number value that offsets the y coordinate.- Negative y values offset up. Positive x values offset down.

---

Animation-Related Notetags

The following notetags allow you to set animations to play at certaininstances and/or conditions.

---

<Slip Animation: x>- Requires VisuMZ_0_CoreEngine!- Used for: Actor, Class, Weapon, Armor, Enemy, State Notetags- During the phase at which the user regenerates HP, MP, or TP, this animation will play as long as the user is alive and visible.- Replace 'x' with a number value representing the Animation ID to play.

---

<Attack Animation: x>- Used for: Enemy Notetags- Gives an enemy an attack animation to play for its basic attack.- Replace 'x' with a number value representing the Animation ID to play.

---

Battleback-Related Notetags

You can apply these notetags to have some control over the battlebacks thatappear in different regions of the map for random or touch encounters.

---

<Region x Battleback1: filename><Region x Battleback2: filename>- Used for: Map Notetags- If the player starts a battle while standing on 'x' region, then the 'filename' battleback will be used.- Replace 'x' with a number representing the region ID you wish to use.- Replace 'filename' with the filename of the graphic to use. Do not insert any extensions. This means the file 'Castle1.png' will be only inserted as 'Castle1' without the '.png' at the end.- *NOTE: This will override any specified battleback settings.

---

Battle Command-Related Notetags

You can use notetags to change how the battle commands of playablecharacters appear in battle as well as whether or not they can be used.

---

<Seal Attack><Seal Guard><Seal Item>- Used for: Actor, Class, Weapon, Armor, Enemy, State Notetags- Prevents specific battle commands from being able to be used.

<Command Text: x>- Used for: Skill Notetags- When a skill is used in a <Battle Commands> notetag set, you can change the skill name text that appears to something else.- Replace 'x' with the skill's name you want to shown in the Actor Battle Command window.- Recommended Usage: Shorten skill names that are otherwise too big to fit inside of the Actor Battle Command window.

---

<Command Icon: x>- Used for: Skill Notetags- When a skill is used in a <Battle Commands> notetag set, you can change the skill icon that appears to something else.- Replace 'x' with the ID of icon you want shown in the Actor Battle Command window to represent the skill.

---

<Command Require Learn>- Used for: Skill Notetags- Determines if a battle command is visible or not by whether the actor has learned the skill.- Learning the skill is a requirement. Acquiring the skill through traits does not count as learning the skill.

---

Then, it would be shown.- If 'Any' notetag variant is used, item will be shown if any of the switches are ON. Otherwise, it would be hidden.- This can be applied to Attack and Guard commands, too.

---

<Command Hide Switch: x><Command Hide All Switches: x,x,x><Command Hide Any Switches: x,x,x>- Used for: Skill Notetags- Determines if a battle command is visible or not through switches.- Replace 'x' with the switch ID to determine the skill's visibility.- If 'All' notetag variant is used, item will be shown until all switches are ON.

---

<Battle Portrait: filename>- Used for: Actor- This is used with the "Portrait" Battle Layout.- Sets the battle portrait image for the actor to 'filename'.- Replace 'filename' with a picture found within your game project's img/pictures/ folder. Filenames are case sensitive. Leave out the filename extension from the notetag.- This will override any menu images used for battle only.

---

Positive x values offset right.- Replace 'y' with a number value that offsets the y coordinate.- Negative y values offset up. Positive x values offset down.

---

<Help Description> text text</Help Description>- Used for: State Notetags- Assigns a help description for the state that's displayed under the "Status" actor command.- Replace 'text' with text you want displayed for the help window.- This best works with one line for compatibility with other plugins.- Insert %1 into the help description to show any data that would otherwise be shown as the state display, such as Absorption Barrier count.- This is used as a common notetag between Battle Core's state descriptions and State Tooltips' state descriptions.

---

<In-Battle Status Description> text text</In-Battle Status Description>- Assigns a help description for the state that's displayed under the "Status" actor command.- Replace 'text' with text you want displayed for the help window.- This best works with one line for compatibility with other plugins.- Insert %1 into the help description to show any data that would otherwise be shown as the state display, such as Absorption Barrier count.- The description used here will not be used for State Tooltips.- If both <Help Description> and <In-Battle Status Description> notetags exist in the same state, priority will be given to this one for the In-Battle Status Window.

---

<Exclude From Status Listing>- Used for: State Notetags- Excludes the state from being displayed in the status listing.

---

JavaScript Notetag: Battle Command-Related

The following are notetags made for users with JavaScript knowledge todetermine if skill-based battle commands are visible or hidden.

---

<JS Command Visible> code code visible = code;</JS Command Visible>- Used for: Skill Notetags- The 'visible' variable is the final returned variable to determine the skill's visibility in the Battle Command Window.- Replace 'code' with JavaScript code to determine the skill's visibility in the Battle Command Window.- The 'user' variable represents the user who will perform the skill.- The 'skill' variable represents the skill to be used.

---

Targeting-Related Notetags

The following notetags are related to the targeting aspect of skills anditems and may adjust the scope of how certain skills/items work.

---

<Always Hit><Always Hit Rate: x%>- Used for: Skill, Item Notetags- Causes the action to always hit or to always have a hit rate of exactly the marked x%.- Replace 'x' with a number value representing the hit success percentage.

---

<Repeat Hits: x>- Used for: Skill, Item Notetags- Changes the number of hits the action will produce.- Replace 'x' with a number value representing the number of hits to incur.

---

<Target: x Random Any>- Used for: Skill, Item Notetags- Makes the skill pick 'x' random targets when used.- Targets can be both actors and enemies.- This will overwrite the existing database scope and ignore the database's existing scope in favor of this.- Replace 'x' with a number value representing the number of random targets.

---

<Target: x Random Enemies>- Used for: Skill, Item Notetags- Makes the skill pick 'x' random targets when used.- Targets are only enemies.- This will overwrite the existing database scope and ignore the database's existing scope in favor of this.- Replace 'x' with a number value representing the number of random targets.

---

<Target: x Random Allies>- Used for: Skill, Item Notetags- Makes the skill pick 'x' random targets when used.- Targets are only actors.- This will overwrite the existing database scope and ignore the database's existing scope in favor of this.- Replace 'x' with a number value representing the number of random targets.

---

<Target: All Allies But User>- Used for: Skill, Item Notetags- This will overwrite the existing database scope and ignore the database's existing scope in favor of this.- Targets all allies with the exception of the user.

---

<Target: Ally or Enemy>- Used for: Skill, Item Notetags- Allows the player to target allies or enemies with the skill/item. - Keep in mind this does NOT allow you to select dead party members.- This will overwrite the existing database scope and ignore the database's existing scope in favor of this.- Target selection emphasis will go to allies first.- Ignored when used by enemies and will be treated as an ally scope.- Auto-battle actors will also treat this action as an ally scope.- For certain battle layouts in frontview, this will open the Actor Select window in order for Touch Input to be able to select actors.

---

<Target: Enemy or Ally>- Used for: Skill, Item Notetags- Allows the player to target enemies or allies with the skill/item. - Keep in mind this does NOT allow you to select dead party members.- This will overwrite the existing database scope and ignore the database's existing scope in favor of this.- Target selection emphasis will go to enemies first.- Ignored when used by enemies and will be treated as an enemy scope.- Auto-battle actors will also treat this action as an enemy scope.- For certain battle layouts in frontview, this will open the Actor Select window in order for Touch Input to be able to select actors.

---

<Single or Multiple Select>- Used for: Skill, Item Notetags- Requires an original scope that can select individual targets.- This will allow the skill/item to be able to select either single targets or multiple targets at once. - In order to select "all enemies", the player must press the "Page Up" keyboard button or the visual on screen "All Enemies" button. - In order to select "all allies", the player must press the "Page Down" keyboard button or the visual on screen "All Allies" button. - Those wondering why this isn't regulated to a command left or right of the enemies and actors is because mouse controls and touch controls would not be able to select all enemies or all allies that way. - This can NOT be used with single dead ally scopes.- If there is an enemy with Taunt or Provoke, the option to select "All Enemies" does not become possible.- The enemy AI and Auto-Battle actor AI will NOT make use of the ability to toggle between single and multiple target scopes. They will only use the single target versions of these skills.

---

<Disperse Damage>- Used for: Skill, Item Notetags- This will cause any damage dealt by this skill to be split equally amongst all targets of the skill including repeats. - For basic attacks, any damage reduction added attack trait totals will by reverted.- This does NOT have to be used with <Single or Multiple Select> notetag and can be used by itself for an "All" scope, making the skill/item deal less damage if there's more enemies and more damage if there's less enemies.

---

<Cannot Target User>- Used for: Skill, Item Notetags- This will cause the action to be unable to select the user as the target.- This is not a targeting scope. Instead, it is used in addition to any other targeting scopes out there.- When used with "All" scopes, the user is removed from the target pool.- This is also applied outside of battle.- If the user somehow enters the target pool, the user is then replaced by a random ally found in the party.

---

JavaScript Notetag: Targeting-Related

---

<JS Accuracy> code code rate = code;</JS Accuracy>- Used for: Skill, Item Notetags- Only applies during battle.- The 'rate' variable is the final returned amount to determine the accuracy hit success rate. - Base value comes from Game_Action.itemHit - Skill/Item <JS Accuracy> runs - Then <JS Accuracy as User/Target> notetags run- Replace 'code' with JavaScript code to determine the final 'rate' to be returned as the accuracy hit success rate.- The 'user' variable represents the one using the skill/item.- The 'target' variable represents the one receiving the skill/item hit.- Works best with VisuMZ Core Engine's "Improved Accuracy" QoL formula in order to consolidate both HIT and EVA.

---

<JS Accuracy as User> code code rate = code;</JS Accuracy as User><JS Accuracy as Target> code code rate = code;</JS Accuracy as Target>- Used for: Actor, Class, Weapon, Armor, Enemy, State Notetags- Only applies during battle.- The 'rate' variable is the final returned amount to determine the accuracy hit success rate. - Base value comes from Game_Action.itemHit - Skill/Item <JS Accuracy> runs - Then <JS Accuracy as User/Target> notetags run- If used on trait objects, this will apply to any skills/items used as long as the unit affected by the trait object has access to the trait object.- If the 'as User' notetag variant is used, this code will be run as a response to the action from the action user end.- If the 'as Target' notetag variant is used, this code will be run as a response to the action from the action target end.- Replace 'code' with JavaScript code to run desired effects.- The 'user' variable represents the one using the skill/item.- The 'target' variable represents the one receiving the skill/item hit.

---

<JS Targets> code code targets = [code];</JS Targets>- Used for: Skill, Item Notetags- The 'targets' variable is an array that is returned to be used as a container for all the valid action targets. - This is NOT used for filtering out who the player can or cannot select. - This determines a final result.- The 'targets' variable will include the original set of targets determined by the skill/item's original scale.- Replace 'code' with JavaScript code to determine valid targets.

---

Damage-Related Notetags

---

Battle Layout-Related Notetags

These tags will change the battle layout for a troop regardless of how theplugin parameters are set up normally. Insert these tags in either thenoteboxes of maps or the names of troops for them to take effect. If bothare present for a specific battle, then priority goes to the setting foundin the troop name.

---

We are not responsible for frame drops due to this.

---

Troop Comment Tags

Place these tags inside of a comment found in a troop page's event list.

---

<Once Parallel When Start Battle>- Used for: Troop Page Comment Tags- Causes the troop page to immediately load the moment the battle scene begins to fade in (not after it fades in). This is faster than a turn 0 condition troop page. Troop page conditions are ignored.- This can be used for things like the Action Sequence Camera plugin, the Visual Battle Environment plugin, and/or initial battle poses and such in order to provide a near seamless battle transition experience.- This does NOT trigger when coming out of the options menu or party menu.- This WILL trigger when going from battle to battle nonstop via plugins like VisuStella MZ's Chain Battles.- When actors are moving towards their home positions, it will take around 30 frames by default. Use this information however you like.

Plugin Commands

Plugin Commands are event commands that are used to call upon functions added by a plugin that aren't inherently a part of RPG Maker MZ.

Here is a list of Plugin Command(s) that you may use:

---

Skills and items, when used in battle, have a pre-determined series ofactions to display to the player as a means of representing what's going onwith the action. For some game devs, this may not be enough and they wouldlike to get more involved with the actions themselves.

Action Sequences, added through this plugin, enable this. To give a skill oritem a Custom Action Sequence, a couple of steps must be followed:

---

1. Insert the <Custom Action Sequence> notetag into the skill or item's notebox (or else this would not work as intended).2. Give that skill/item a Common Event through the Effects box. The selected Common Event will contain all the Action Sequence data.3. Create the Common Event with Action Sequence Plugin Commands and/or event commands to make the skill/item do what you want it to do.

---

The Plugin Commands added through the Battle Core plugin focus entirely onAction Sequences. However, despite the fact that they're made for skills anditems, some of these Action Sequence Plugin Commands can still be used forregular Troop events and Common Events.

If you would like to manage which parameters can appear here, this can bedone through the VisuMZ_0_CoreEngine's "Parameter Settings" and adjust whichparameters are shown through "Extended Parameters". These settings willreflect in the In-Battle Status window, too. Otherwise, the parameters thatwill be shown will only be MaxHP, MaxMP, ATK, DEF, MAT, MDF, AGI, and LUK.

The In-Battle Status can also be used to view enemies (if the parameter isenabled). To view enemies, players must scroll through all the actors beforeviewing enemies. Enemies will have their battler graphic displayed. If theenemy has a SV Battler graphic, that will be displayed instead. However, ifthe enemy has a Dragonbones, then the database battler graphic is displayedto match any of the turn order displays as those also use the same graphic.

Enemies will not display the current HP on their In-Battle Status gauges.Instead, they will display what percentage their HP, MP, and/or TP is at.This is primarily due to how gauges do not support large numbers well andshowing the percentage values are better for this scene.

  - New parameter added: Dual/Multi Wield?
    - Add times struck based on weapon quantity equipped?
New Features!
- Dual Wielding now functions differently. Made by Olivia.
  - Previously, RPG Maker MZ had "Dual Wielding" attack using both weapon animations at once, with the combined ATK of each weapon. It's confusing to look at and does not portray the nature of "Dual Wielding".
  - Dual Wielding, or in the case of users adding in third and fourth weapons, Multi Wielding is now changed. Each weapon is displayed individually, each producing its own attack animation, showing each weapon type, and applying only that weapon's ATK, Traits, and related effects. It is no longer a combined effect to display everything at once like RPG Maker MZ default.
  - If an actor has multiple weapon slots but some of them are unequipped, then the action will treat the attack as a single attack. There will be no barehanded attack to add on top of it. This is to match RPG Maker MZ's decision to omit a second animation if the same scenario is applied.
- New Action Sequence Plugin Commands added by Yanfly
  - ANIM: Attack Animation 2+
    - Plays the animation associated with the user's 2nd weapon. Plays nothing if there is no 2nd weapon equipped.

    - Any item or skill without a Common Event attached to it will use the Automatic Action Sequences instead.
