Friendship Romance System (FRS) v1.3 (by LordValinar) Introduction Introduces a more in-depth relation system between actors (and events!) New - Latest Update (v1.31 - Sep 24 2021): Spoiler: Changelog Hotfix #3: -> Moved code that adds Relations to menu to only appear if dev is not using VisuMZ MainMenuCore -> Also added conditionals so that the Relations scene is only active if the selected actor has relations to show (same goes for the inMenu switching : no relations, will pop back to main menu) -> Added option in plugin parameters (if ON : entering Relations menu automatically loads up the party leader, skipping actor selection) per request (available in both FRS versions). Added an alternative version (1.3) to include both friendship + romance bar simultaneously Hotfix #2: Another syntax error.. whoops Hotfix #1: A few syntax errors when running the plugin commands to change relations Added formula arguments for actor IDs - now you can retrieve a variable as an actor ID: v[#] or get the indexed actor's ID: a[1] = party leader, a[3] = 3rd actor, etc FEATURES: Notetags(Actors, Skills, Items): Assign notetags that can: Set initial friendship/romance levels upon the starting party composition Add friendship between party after every battle Checks if current friendship/romance level is above a certain threshold -> adds a state or learns a skill (as applicable), or if the level is below the threshold -> removes state or forgets a skill. One-Time common events, switch flips (true or false), or variable adjustment based on certain friendship/romance level >= the threshold. Plugin command available to remove the DoOnce flag. Skill Notetag (can increase friendship/romance with a certain actor (or the target themselves!) Item Notetag (can increase friendship/romance between user[party leader] and target ally) Custom "Relations" menu displaying all available friends/romanced actors (and NPCs!) (see below for compatability with VisuStella's Main Menu Core) This menu displays the actor/NPC graphic, name, relation bar (green = friendship; reddish = romanced) + Icon if "engaged/married/lovers/significant other", and then up 5 state icons representing any buffs applied. You can befriend/romance NPCs, however you cannot switch to them in the relations menu (You will get a buzzer), but you can still get all the buffs as you would with an actor (conditionals are setup via the plugin command or script call - if you want any). Plugin command to save a relation value to a variable, so can use with message boxes. PLUGIN PARAMETERS: Minimum relations level (default 0): Lowest value to check for/set Maximum relations level (default 100): Highest value to check/set "Engaged" icon ID (default 84): When lovers/married/etc, this icon will appear in the Relations menu "Engaged" minimum (default 90): The romance value must be greater than or equal to this value to be considered "engaged/married/lovers/etc". "Engaged" state ID (default 0): If you want your lovers to get a buff while in the same party, the state with this ID will be applied to both (or all if multiple lovers). If one leaves the party, all lose the buff. New Member Friendship (default 0): When you gain a new member, the current party gains this much friendship with them. New Member Befriends Party (default false): If the 'new member friendship' value is > 0 and this is 'true' then the new member will also add everyone in the party to their friends list. Prefix (string -> '' default '(npc)'): If you want to separate your NPC names in the Relations list, this prefix will be added before the event name. Can combine with Postfix. Postfix (string -> '' default blank): If you want to separate your NPC names in the Relations list, this postfix will be added after the event name. Can combine with Prefix. Relation Window Text (string -> '' default 'Relations:'): This is the text that appears in the header box, displaying which is the current actor's friends list. Just added for user customization. Customize the gradient fill for the friend/romance bars. Does use HEX code (so a simple google search- or leaving it alone- will help the dev out if they don't want to use the standards) VS Menu Core Compatability: 1) Open up VisuMZ_1_MainMenuCore plugin settings 2) Open the Command Window List 3) Open up a new command on the last line 4) Go to the "Text" tab and REPLACE (meaning delete -> then paste new text) with the text: Code: {"Symbol:str":"relations","Icon:num":"84","TextStr:str":"","TextJS:func":"\"return 'Relations';\"","ShowJS:func":"\"return true;\"","EnableJS:func":"\"return this.areRelationsEnabled();\"","ExtJS:func":"\"return null;\"","CallHandlerJS:func":"\"SceneManager._scene.commandPersonal();\"","PersonalHandlerJS:func":"\"SceneManager.push(Scene_Relations);\""} Alternatively you can set it up manually: * Symbol: relations * Icon: 84 (or whatever you choose) * STR: Text * JS: Text return 'Relations'; * JS: Show return true; * JS: Enable return this.areRelationsEnabled(…

That seems to have been called within a battle *scratches chin* I have not tested battles, although "actor" is the action's subject... ah! Which means in this case, it was calcuating an action for an enemy! Okay, will fix (again) lol

Congrats, you've been selected by the government to be our unofficial tester xD
New version in 1-3 minutes!

How do you mean? Items can alter friendship values (instructions are written in the help section):

JavaScript:

/*:
 * <frsItem type actorId: value>
 * TYPE   : friend | romance
 * ACTORID: Id of target actor to improve relations with leader
 * VALUE  : true | false | self
 * -> true: Saves relation between leader <-> target
 * -> false: Saves relation between leader -> target only
 * -> self: Saves relation between target -> leader only
 */

Instead just a save thing, why not a number

Ah okay. ((sorry been busy working on the new battle system)), so I looked at it and it does function as you mean it to, but I flubbered up on the description. The tag is:
JavaScript:
<frsItem type value: mode> // type: friend | romance // value: The value to add(+) or remove(-) from target (the actor the item is used on) // mode: true | false | self
I'll update the plugin to reflect this more accurate description, but an update shouldn't be required.

If I understand it correctly then this plugin only builds friendship/romance level for parties members? And 1 npc can only have 1 type of relationship, if they are datable then they can't be friends, and vice versa?

Regarding Actors:
- You can build friendship and romance both ways (because actors have viewable data from the menu)
- If you are romancing another actor, it does not remove the friendship level (same goes with NPCs), it's just the romance bar has higher priority and is thus displayed instead.

Regarding NPCs:
- You can have both friendship and romance with any number of NPCs you setup
- However, like actors if you are romancing any of them, the romance bar(red) will show instead but does not remove the friendship points.
- Also the relation goes one-way for NPCs (since you can't select NPCs in the relations menu), but it is on basis the relationship is shared both ways.

Is this plugin can show the friendship and romance bar of every character at the same time?
and, if it is possible, should you consider to add [common event] when people click the character picture in this window?
I think it can be used in a lot of plot.
if it is disturbed you, I will apologise

The F+R bars on the same menu isn't a problem, I'll upload that as a separate download.
As for the common events(on click) that's outside the scope of this plugin sorry.

UPDATE:
Just added alternative version. Can download via github or on the first page

Having a few issues:
1. There is a default 'relations' tab in the menu before I add it in VisuMZ mainmenu core, and once I add it using the code you provided, there is two 'relations' tabs. How do I get rid of the default?
2. I click on relations tab, then a character, then it shows another window and if I click the game crashes with TypeError, cannot read property 'type' of undefined.
3. Is there a way to, when clicking relations tab, go straight to main character's relationships only, instead of choosing a party member first?

I have tested this with a completely new project, with newest version of MZ, VisuMZ and your plugin, and still have same errors.

I have a question. Is there a way to change the name of the relations between actors (i.e. Acquaintances, Best Friends, Lovers, Betrothed, etc)?

1.) Odd, the menu never showed up for me - so I had to do it via the code. Have you tried not entering the code, see if the relation menu still works as intended (aka highlighting only after some relations are established, but greyed out until then)?
- If that works, just remove the code.

2.) I need the console log for more information. Hit F8 while running the game in test mode, and when it crashes printScreen and paste that into a visual editor program (ie. Paint.NET, Gimp, photoshop, etc) and post that here

3.) The intent was to list the selected character's relations. Changing how it works right now is outside the scope of this plugin. However, to answer your question directly, you or whoever could alias one of the methods in Scene_Menu when selecting something (commandOk I think? Been a little bit since I've worked on this stuff) it could push the Scene_Relations scene instead of 'onPeronsalOk'.

There are no relations texts displayed, only gauges and icons. Unless that's not what you meant?

1. It does show only one if I remove the code however it doesn't have an icon and it sits after 'formation' and idk how I could edit it. I tried moving your plugin above VisuMZ mainmenu core in the plugins list, and it no longer shows the extra relations tab and shows the one with the icon, however, when I click on a character the game crashes. I assume it isn't intended this way.

2. Was able to fix this somehow. I think I had it add points to the leader but not the new member and that somehow screwed it up.

3. Ok thanks I may try this out.

Please let me know if you figure out the first issue. Or if anyone else is having this. Maybe it's from a new update of RPGMMZ or VisuMZ?

Here's a screenshot. Both tabs work as normal.

Is there an option to add icons for both romance/friendship bars? Thank you.
