DAE's Actor Inventories MZ (Original + Kingdom-Hearts style)

Actor Inventories - Version 1.1 - Get

RPG Maker MZ Plugin

Note: Compatible with Visustella's main plugins.

Introduction
Have you ever tried having multiple inventories that you were switching in-between using events or custom scripts, because your game switches between different parties but for some reason default MV/MZ doesn't allow you to have seperate inventories for each character? Well fear not, this solves that, and more!

Features
This plugin separates the party's inventory into unique inventories for each actor.
By default, RMMZ will create an inventory for the entire party.
With this plugin, each actor will have its own inventory, and actors in the party will be able to exchange items between their inventories.
Whenever an actor leaves the party, their items get removed from the party's "inventory", and when a new actor joins the party, their items will be added to the party's "inventory".
This plugin also shows which actors own which items, and how many items they have.

Hello,

Thank you for the plugin. I just gave it a try and had a few questions.

First - I noticed that you were unable to transfer X amount of a single item. It was only all or nothing. I used your demo plugin a while back and didn't have this issue.

Second - Wondering if it's possible to have the separate items in battle as well. I noticed that each character still has access to the full inventory in battle.

Lastly - Unsure if it would be a big to-do as an extension of the existing plugin. But would it be possible that when selecting "Item" from the menu, you instead select a character from your party and are able to see their inventory, rather than seeing the names? It's quite a bit different from what you have here, so maybe I'll work on it on my own someday, but figured I would ask.

Thanks again for the plugin!

Hey there @boikish ^^

Regarding the first thing, are you sure you're unable to? I've tested both the demo and full version of MZ, and they both have this feature. The only one that doesn't is the old MV version that is still in development

As for the second, I can definitely do that ^^ I think I'll add a plugin parameter to make it enable/disabled.
So something similar to the inventory in Kingdom Hearts games? I think I should be able to do that, maybe once again making it switchable via a plugin parameter

@DaedraTalos Thanks for the reply! I tested again and you are correct, the transfer worked as intended!

As for your second post. Adding those two features would be amazing! Exactly like the Kingdom Hearts series.

I primarily mention the second piece, having to select an actor first to see their inventory because of menu crowding when too many actors have particular items. If three actors are holding something, the menu starts to get a little hard to read. Being able to go into individual inventories and see who owns what would be great.

Last question for me, is it possible to make it so that this only applies to specific item categories? I'd like to have independent ownership of items, but shared ownership of weapons/armors, if that makes sense.

Thanks again for the plugin!!

This is a plugin and it working with Visu is a huge plus wont issue though or request in the paid version

Can we disable the item text somehow

im normally running this

plugin seems to work great but it causes this


ALSO : A disable exchange command would be amazing to have :ewat:

EDIT : Moved here and thanks for the reply <3

@boikish I've updated the plugin with an additional plugin parameter that allows you to choose whether or not you want the items to be sorted by actor, or shown all together ^^ Basically, if it's turned on, you'll need to select an actor first, and will then be able to see all of that actor's items.
Let me know what you think of it :LZSjoy:
Definitely should be! I'll go through this and @Passingbyposts 's requests at the same time now, and update the plugin again once both things have been added ^^

Looking forward to it please ping me when updated i cant wait to give it a go :ptea:

@Passingbyposts Alright, all done ^^ Updated the plugin, you can check it out. It has one more plugin parameter "Write item amount text", turn it off to disable the amount text. Furthermore, there's a plugin command to disable in-menu exchanges. Just check the plugin commands and you'll see it there.

@boikish I'll be adding an edit for the categories next :LZSsmile:

Tested and now when you disable the text the visu inventory looks good

though it comes at a cost of knowing who has what, i can now easily have different party arcs without

:kaothx:



EDIT : I TAKE THAT BACK!! - just noticed the sort by character function works amazing, one super small thing to note is that it might be worth if possible having the exchange actor execute make the system sound as it could be hard to understand if it executed if you dont have visible split inventory but that is a super small niggle




10/10 Plugin Very nice :kaojoy:

Ooh good idea!! I always do dev with no sound on in-game bc BGM/SE sounds can get frustrating after a while xd I've updated the plugin so that it plays the item use SE whenever an exchange is successfully done ^^
Thanks!! Let me know if there's any other kinds of plugins that you think might be very useful to you and other devs :kaojoy:

So fast, i decided to re-download and test for you but ive gotten some weird results

First sound is deffo there now but i noticed something odd between versions
First one is sy in that i think the character selection has no default so if the player enters through too quickly it will error as no actor is selected (guessing this would be resolved by defaulting to actor 1 in the party??)


Lastly the item count of a product is now the party total in character divisions until you transfer them all
I,e in this example i sent 10 to the other character but had 40 still showing instead of 30
which is odd as it was the same test i did earlier in the thread and it correctly displayed 29 then :rswt

it correctly disappears if you send the other person all of the qty but its like the value doesn't recalculate if they share the same item anymore

Are you sure you have the plugin parameter "Write item amount text" turned ON? The issue might be that it's turned off, meaning that the plugin isn't affecting the calculation of the amount. Let me know if it still doesn't work with that plugin parameter turned on ^^

I've updated the plugin to make sure the first actor is selected at the start, and to have an extra check to ensure no crashes occur in case the player somehow manages to press ok without having any characters selected, either way :ohappy:

Quick test yep that solved the crash issue

Funny the quantities all work again now
transferring out ten leaves you with 30 :kaojoy:
Might be nice to drop of the semi colon when you get a chance to make it clean but otherwise i cant state it enough times!!......... 10/10 Plugin :kaothx:

Y'know it just came to me that a good add-on / feature to compliment this plugin would be to allow a storage container to use the functionality so the player can put there stuff in and take it out for example

Just an idea as you mentioned you were looking for ideas a while ago

Mm I'm pretty sure that my plugin would have no issues interacting with storage plugins out there that already exist, although the only thing missing would be to be able to specify which actor's items specifically you'd like to take from / add to. I could work on an add-on to someone else's storage container plugin tho, to make it more user-friendly when used with this plugin

Is the MV version getting an update?
Unfortunately, there's no non-obfuscated version for MV so I can't tinker around it to make it compatible with the SRPG plugin for MV (it would be a great addition to fire emblem-like games)

Wait there is a storage plugin already? maybe i've not been looking hard enough i havent come across one for MZ before :D

Great. I searched the whole network for this plug-in and finally found it, but I have some problems. Is there a bug or incomplete function in the latest demo plug-in of version 1.36? I tried DAE's actorinventories demo MZ V1.36, but found some bugs. I had some trouble registering PayPal when I bought this plug-in. I want to confirm the difference between the commercial version and the demo version. I hope I can roughly describe it. Thank you.

I bought the commercial version of the plug-in. After many tests with my little partner and I, it is confirmed that the plug-in does have bugs. When viewing the switching between different roles, the use / exchange window will appear in the role selection window at the same time. Moreover, when a certain item of a role is 99, others can still transfer items to the role, although the number has not changed, However, it plays the sound successfully transferred and there is no prompt message. I think it is necessary for the author to fix the problem of this plug-in. I look forward to and continue to pay attention to it. Thank you
