I didn't expect a plugin like this for quite a while yet and you did it almost immediately. Thank you so much for this Fomar!

Out of curiosity, what does AP stands for? Why not name it as a "Secondary EXP system"?

Possibly: Attribute Points

I'm pretty sure it means "Ability Points." It's the system in FFIX and Final Fantasy Tactics Advance.

Yeah FFV & FFIX both used ability points. I took the name from there.

How do I download this? When I click the link I get a new tab with the script, but I don't know how to download the plugin.

Either Ctrl + S, or File save as (might need to hit alt to get the bar with file to show up on some browsers).

Well as it was decided ap stand out for ability, but pretty sure that in the first place it was for action point
simply because the variable to count the number of time u had to use ability or equipment was name as such but ability was choose over action because it was really defining what was happening while action was to much vague...

Amazing job! I will use it for sure. I will try to build a system like Crystarium of FF13 with these APs (using events). Thank you!
Edit: How can I check the amount of AP of actors and replace for other amount (cost) in a event using Conditional Branch? A plugin command? @Fomar0153

Definitely looking to use something like this as a way to level up stats, though at the moment I don't think that is something that can be done without a plugin which has yet to be made. Will keep an eye on it!

One use for this could be upgrading skill damage and/or giving skills extra effects. Or it could be used as a system for stat growth

Is there a way to manually increase an actor's AP?

It's something like:
$gameActors.actor(x).gainAP(n);

Great plugin and works great in combination with passive skills and equipment skills.

Just wondering if there's a way I can reference the actor's (or ideally a skill's) AP in a formula?

e.g. you get a stat boost based on how much AP the actor has received, or how much AP has be earned towards a particular skill.

$gameActors.actor(x).loseAp(n);

I'm not entirely certain, but I believe putting in a negative value will yield the opposite effect.

Hey @Fomar0153, I really appreciate your plugins and your work, they've been great to use in my Game. I was just wondering if there's any chance you may be able to reach out to the VisuStella team--I am using their victory aftermath plugin and currently it doesn't allow for extra text saying how much AP was awarded from winning a battle. I was wondering if maybe you could talk with them and see how possible it would be for them to add that feature. Thanks in advance, regardless!
