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(…

I was wondering if you need to use "<frsSet type actorId: value>" in order for the Relations menu to work? (For example: "<frsSet friend actorId: 2 1>" in the Actors tab)
Not that specifically, no but I believe you have to have some kind of friendship/romance data in order for the menu to bring up anything (otherwise what's the point of looking at a blank window?) :p
So depending on your settings, or using a plugin command (or a script call like above for other actors than the party leader), then once data has been created you should be able to open the menu

Whenever I use a plugin command, it does work, but whenever I try to put the "frsSet" tag into the notes of the actor's tab, it doesn't. I have no idea if I'm formatting it wrong ("<frsSet friend actorId: 2 1>") was how I put it.

Got a version of this for MV? Or can it still work with MV? I mean, one MZ plugin I got worked with it, so......
I assumed you already found it, but in case you haven't (and for those MV Users who struck here) there's a MV version of this called Moogle_X's Actors Friendship System.

Hi, Is there a method to keep an NPC's information consistent across different events? For example, if an NPC moves from one map to another, by deactivating one event and activating the other one in the other map, they should still retain their state, is that possible somehow?

Also possibly across events / actors, so if an npc is recruited, it inherits its state and reverse.

Hi
I'm looking forward to using this plugin, but I can't get it to work.
When i use version 1.4 i get: reference error Window_Relations not defined when I click on an actor in the relations menu.
When i use version 1.3 the relations window closes instantly after opening when i click on party members inside the relations menu. And when i click main character I get: TypeError cannot read property 'character_Name' of null.

Are you using LvMZ_FRS or the Alternate version?

I've been going over my plugins, and saw some things in LvMZ_FRS that were not brought over from the alternate version (latest), and I need to fix. Am thinking of rewriting the plugin entirely... including changes of how "Change Relations" plugin command works allowing the relations of separate Source/Target (rather than the current party leader -> target).

Sorry, but everything is saved with the Map and Event IDs of that map/event respectively. My other plugin "LvMZ_Factions" saves relation data by the actor/event name instead, but doesn't have the relations menu stuff. I might take that into consideration with the FRS Redux

Is it possible to add a function to show a portrait in the relationship menu instead of the actor's sprite?
The project I'm working on has large sprites and every time I open the menu I see pieces of the sprite.

I apologize for the sass, but "anything is possible" :p But for a serious answer, technically yes but it's not a simple addition, especially for a list of relations like I have it now.

I am currently converting the plugin (using LvMZ_Factions for the heavy lifting), and could try to design a few UI variants, but honestly there's no guarantee on this (haven't been in the RPG Maker plugin scene for awhile, and when I do, it's minor edits or other plugins for my own project 1 or 2 times a month..). So there is a possibility that I'll release a new version sometime down the road, but for now the plugin is going to remain as-is.

I apologize :(

Well good news and bad news.
Good News: I'm back ... working on scripts again.

Bad News: I'm working on a custom tailored Grid-based Tactical Battle System for my own game, so that's going to take me months (...probably), but if I get any chances where I feel like taking a break, I'll work on some of those overdue projects (like the FRS plugin) :p
