Wow. Glad to see a plugin like this! I've been needing something like this since I intend to use TP as a second (first actually) resource alongside MP, as "stamina", in my current project.

Thank you very much for making this! With this, I should be able to set it up how I'd like, for the most part. All that's missing for how I want things to work in my game is being able to set the initial TP of an actor to 100% (or on exception another percentage), and set a growth curve formula instead of a flat increase growth rate.

EDIT: Could you please put up a direct download for the plugin in your post? It's a little awkward to have to route through a youtube video.

Hey nice plugin, i was wondering if you might add a tp gain type to this, where actors gain tp differently, like some may gain it after being hit, while others regain it by attacking?
RogdagoR

#4 Nov 17, 2015, 08:26 AM Source

Great! I was looking for a plugin like this since my actors will only use TP!

There is a way to get bonus TP gain when you crit your skill? Or if your actor's element hit a enemy weak to that element?

Is possible to have a glowing effect or other stuff over the TP bar when is full?

I'll add settings to allow you to determine the amount of initial TP of your Actors in battle along with the ability to reserve TP in the next update that will release later today or tomorrow.

Unfortunately, I don't have the ability to allow you to input a specific curve formula, but I can add some Notetags like:

<IncrementMTPGrowthRate: x>

Increments the MTP Growth Rate by 1 every x levels.

<IncrementMTPGrowthRateMultiplier: x>

Increments a number that is multiplied to the MTP Growth Rate every x levels.

<DoubleMTPGrowthRate: x>

Doubles the MTP Growth Rate every x levels.

So you wish to restrict some Actors/Classes to only gain TP from offense/defense?

Sure, I'll add it in next update.

That's a good idea.

I'll allow you to give bonus TP for Critical Hits and Super Effective Hits!

As for the TP Bar glowing thing...

I'm not that good, but I can make it so the bar changes color when it's full.

Is that good? :p

Great! Also yeah gaining TP when hit will be cool, by a chance, by crits taken, or buffs that give you tp, or just a variable!

For the glowing i think also show a image over the bar can be cool(like lightnings)

Don't you already gain TP from taking hits to begin with?

You can use TRG on States, Weapons, etc. to give you TP,

and <MaxTPGain: x> / <MaxTPLose: x>

let you add or remove MTP from an Actor with a certain Armor/State.

As for the image thing...I'll see what I can do.

Well, I meant initial value of TP when a character joins the party (like with HP and MP), but I'm glad to see you're adding that. Same goes for the extra growth rate options; even if you couldn't do exactly what I asked for, I'm really glad to see you're making it more versatile. Thank you!

Also, will it be possible to toggle on and off some of the things other people are suggesting, like the TP bar glowing when full? I'm glad to know the option will be there for them, but having it on wouldn't work for my project, which will use TP more like how MP works. I hope that's a reasonable request.

Can't you simply set an Actor's TP using events?

Does the "Change TP..." event not do what you wish?

Well, besides that, rest assured that everything that is added can be reverted to the non-Plugin defaults, including the possible TP bar glow/color change, there's no way I would add it with out an ability to customize and remove it.

Trust me; I know what it's like to be stuck with a Plugin that changes something you don't want to be changed.

This and also some like Hime had on VXA: TP max states. On that script, once you full the tp, you can apply states such as limits and so

Hmmm, I see. That sounds doable. I guess that's one more thing thrown into the next update. ;_;

~~Expect this to come out tomorrow everyone.~~ Be sure to leave more feedback!

Oh. I really need to derust and learn about all the tricks I can use with events. Thanks.

With that, it should be possible for me to set the TP of each actor to whatever is needed in gameplay or story when each one joins the party. Although I'd still like to go through the engine, myself, and see if I can track down what sets actor TP to 0% by default so I can tweak it.

Glad to hear that you can tweak which stuff is enabled and stuff. Hope my requests weren't too much of a burden or pain or anything.

Well, I've added Plugin Commands to set each Actor or an entire party's TP to full or a specific %.

So look forward to that.

Also, rest assured, your request was indeed a great pain to add in, but it'll help improve the Plugin anyway.

@Spaceman Five, @RogdagoR, @Fox536

All right. Version 2.00 is here.

Nearly every requested feature has been added with many other new things/improvements.

Originally, it was going to be Version 1.1, but since the amount of features added was nearly doubled, decided to go with a more dramatic version number change.

Now if someone could tell me how to change the Topic Title of this post, that would be great.

Wow! You really worked hard, so many new stuff, very nice! You deserve a cookie!

Btw, it would be awesome if you could make it so that the actors gain a certain percentage TP back each time they won a battle.

Like 5 or 10 % or so.

Similar to tales of symphonia, every time you win a battle there you get a small amount of HP and TP back.

Hmmm, interesting.

I should probably create a separate Plugin for that though.

Unless does one already exist that works for HP/MP?
