Pet Summon Plugin

Aerosys · 2023-01-29T19:17:32+0900

Pet Summon Plugin Non-RTP sprites by Hidden One Inspired by RPGs such as „Pokemon“, „Nights of Azure,“ and other MMORPGs, I made a Plugin to enable summoning of Pets in battle. Available for free, compatible with both MV & MZ Features Any Actor from the Database can be converted into a Pet by using Note Tags. A Pet can be added to and removed from the Party just like any other Actor. Pets are not ready when the battle starts - they must be summoned first. Therefore, all your Pets are visible and manageable on the menus (if you wish) The Plugin will automatically add Dummy Skills to summon Pets (as seen in the screenshot) (if you wish) You have multiple options to define who can summon which Pets By default, any Actor with access to a dedicated Summon Skill Type can summon every Pet the Party owns. Alternatively, you may use Notetags to manage who can summon whom at which time. As you can put these note tags on Actors, Classes, Equipment, States, Skills, & Items, it makes it fairly easy and flexible to create, e.g., Summoner Classes that can summon only subsets of Pets. Alternatively, you may disable the automatic addition of Summon Skills through the Plugin, define individual Skills or Items in the Database, and use the Notetag. Pets' levels will be synchronized automatically with their summoner (optional) Pets can retreat on command when it is their turn. When a Pet is knocked out, it automatically disappears from the battle. You can set how many turns a Pet stays active until it expires (optional). Once summoned, every Pet is affected with a "summoned" State. Using 3rd Party Plugins that display the remaining State turns, you can display how long a Pet stays active until it expires. Animations when a Pet is summoned a Pet disappears a Pet is knocked out You can call Common Events when a Pet is summoned a Pet disappears a Pet is knocked out With the Notetag, you can prepare a Pet for the battle, i.e., the Pet will be ready on battle start. You can use this Notetag on Actors, Classes, Equips, & States. E.g., you can make a special Accessory or Skill that applies such State on a Pet to prepare this Pet before the battle starts. Pets may not use Items (optional). Pets may not be equipped (optional). When all Actors are knocked out, and Pets are the only active battlers, the battle is treated as a defeat (optional). Pets cannot be swapped in the "Formation" menu. You can limit how many Pets can be active simultaneously (optional). Featured Plugins Summon Deck Addon Menu Addon for Summon System Exp Potions Item Restrictions Quickstart, Download, & More available here: https://aerosys.blog/pet-summon Wishlist To summon "Giants" that substitute the entire Party until it expires or is knocked out. To replace/substitute/swap with the Summoner while the Pet is active When a summoner is knocked-out or leaves the Party during battle, all their pets should disappear as well

Minor bugfix (1.4.4) is out!

HereThere said:
Hi Aerosys! I think something changed with the 1.4.3 version cause there's a bug where it's not showing Followers anymore with that version. I replaced the demo's 1.4.1 to 1.4.3 and the Follower there didn't appear either so it's probably not a conflict. I think combat is still working just fine though. Thanks again for the plugin!
Fixed!

I think i found the culprit. It's Drag and Plugin's Common Event Trigger. It's triggering a common event on xp update and level up. Perchance are you leaving an undefined battler anywhere in the party after battle ends?
I scanned my code and came to the conclusion that this is rather unlikely.

After updating the plugin I have a new error. Earlier today before updating i didn't have it and I had made no other changes to my plugins.

Edit: It may be an oversight on my behalf, forget it.

Besides that, I have given a playtest to the plugin and now it seemingly doesn't work at all? Tried summoning through skills, the skills are not listed. Tried summoning through actors/equips, no new characters get added. Tried with items, to the same result.

Do you have any other plugins? I had a few problems with some other plugins I had installed.

Can you expand on what this means

What? You want to tell us that "This does not work" is not a descriptive and complete error report? :kaoswt2:

Anyway, DragonBones may not work when a pet is a "5th" actor exceeding the party limit. Can you confirm whether it would work when the party is not maxed out, or what does the problem look like?

Is this plugin compatible with Yanfly plugins?
Why do I get an error when I call it?

edit: I've already tried it with the plugins turned off and it works fine. :'(It is indeed a compatibility issue.

Please track down which plugin(s) exactly cause this problem. It might be because of MOG Battle Hud, or Yanfly, or the combination of both.

The problem only occurs when I activate the YEP core, since only by deactivating those 4 plugins does it work well.

I deactivated the ActSeqPack because otherwise I get more errors due to not having the BattleEngineCore activated.

I don't know if these last 3 will also have compatibility problems, since I can't test them individually as they need the YEP core.

Hello, first thank you for this amazing plugin.
I only have 1 question, is it possible for the summons to NOT be fully healed every time?

edit: nvm found where and how!

Hi Your plugin is fantastic I only need one ultimate request.

When the per is summoned, through settings I can activate a common event and only one. In my thought I would like that (through another plugin) that summoned pet and only that one (linked to a skill) goes on cooldown for the rest of the fight. The problem is that the other plugin defines a skill and puts it on cooldown through a common event. If I add the other pet summon skills it puts them all on cooldown. So I should have a different common event for a different pet ability. The problem is that in the plugin you can only set one Event! I'm going crazy because through any notetag or other setting the skill does not go on cooldown because it seems to accept only the common event set in the settings and no other! Could you remove this block or put a setting that puts on cooldown only the pet summoned for that battle only? Or the possibility of choosing the turns so as to put 99 and be sure. Oh and on the skill that it only says "on cooldown" without the turns. I know it's all very strange but I hope you understand. I just wish each pet could only be summoned once in battle even if it doesn't die or is retired.

Thanks for all!

I could not follow you by 100%, so I will reply with a more generic answer:

It's true that my plugin only allows you to select 1 Common Event. However, the pet's ID is written into a Game Variable that you can query in the Common Event. So you can just put a Conditional Branch, check if the Variable holds your pet's ID, and then react to it. Otherwise, the Common Event will silently quit and do nothing.

Thanks Thanks Thanks! Using Variable with ID Stored, Common Event and Conditional Branch was the answer I needed! With a little bit of reasoning it all works and allows you to do it individually for each pet! Great! You made me happy! I had lost hope!

You can put <Auto Summon> to an equipment or state and then let the pet equip it. However, there's no feature (yet) to "remotely" auto-summon a pet. Maybe make an invisible state called "Auto Summon" and apply it to a pet before the battle?

Got it. I coded it in to push to the party's pets array based on what is found in the actors equipment (put a simple <puppet: x> notetags onto a weapon for example). Hooked that actor check into Scene Battle start and I'm good to go for now ^_^.

Thank you for this suggestion about states! This is also a great idea for the game I’m making!

According to the information I have, it looks like one of your actors has no class assigned.
