Permadeath

Introduction/Features


This plugin adds permadeath to the game. If an actor is dead at the end of battle and the battle isn't set to "can lose", they will be removed from the party.


You can prevent individual party members from having permadeath and you can also prevent whoever the leader is from having permadeath.


You can use a switch to toggle permadeath on or off at any time.

Script

With this plugin I can make a 'Hardcore mode'. Interesting!


My team is making a game that player can hire some mercerneries in his party. There, mercerneries disappear when they die. This plugin would be good at this system. Thanks!

Wow, this plugin alone gave me new ideas for games...  (romancing saga system) and on that note, is there any way to add a new stat for this plugin, called LP (life points)


like in the saga series, each character has their own LP stat, and when they die in battle, they lose 1 LP, when they run out of LP, then its PermaDeath. Is this at all possible to do with this plugin?

Sure. Download the latest version.

amazing! 


thank you very much for this!

Nice, now we can create roguelike dungeon crawlers! :D

How would I go about retaining Equipment on death?

Unless I'm missing something, it should already be retaining equipment.

This is a pretty neat idea! Though it doesn't seem as though there's a way to easily check if the actor has permadied, so you can't have events acknowledge that said character is dead. I don't think it'd be too difficult to either add a 'Permadead' boolean variable to the actor data, OR have a switch that turns on when the character has died.

Thank you so much! This is an awesome plugin!


I can still see the character in my team after dying though, and they can still be brought back to life with revival skill or item. I turned on the switch that states "ID of switch that activates permadeath", the character doesn't have <Nopermadeath> tag nor that the battle has "can lose" option ticked, and the plugin is set to ON. What did I missed?

v.1.2:


Added parameter to set the variable turned on in the actor object when they have permanently died


With the default parameter setting, an example of how to use this to check would be like this:


$gameActors.actor(x)._permaDied


with x as the actor id


Also added this notetag:


* Use <PermadeathIndicatorSwitch: x> with x as the switch id to specify a
* switch that will be turned on when an actor has permanently died.




I am not getting this error. Can you use this to make a demo showing this problem and upload it to dropbox.com? Thanks

Oh! It worked now that I downloaded your .js file from the link instead of copy + paste it! But may I ask if there's anything that prevent a character permadeath by default?


I have Harold, Therese, Marsha and Lucius in the party, the latter 3 are level 1 with 1 HP and Harold is with no permadeath tag. In the battle, Therese Marsha and Lucius were killed, and they were removed from the party afterwards except for Marsha who can still be revived. I tried again with 3 people (Harold, Therese and Marsha) and did the same thing (sorry Therese, sorry Marsha) but Marsha's still in the party with 0 HP! She has no tag either.

I also uploaded a demo here as example:

Would you mind having a look at it and please let me know if I went wrong somewhere? Thank you so very much!

Thanks, the script has been updated to fix a bug with removing more than one party member from permadeath. Let me know if you have any further issues.

Sweet. Adds a 'Red Shirt'/Private Jenkins functionality to the game.

Welcome to the forums Neuralsplyce,

Giggling,

Joy Diamond.

P.S.: I look forward to you posting about yourself in Introductions Forum.

Is there a way that you can display a 'downed' body graphic of the pernadead actor?

I'm talking about the graphic on the map as well as the portrait graphic found in the menu.

Hello! I'm trying to make a skill that causes permadeath while the toggle is off otherwise. How would you go about implementing this?
