Are MV and MZ more or less cross compatible then? Or are you just developing a plugin for both at the same time?

@Kayzee my experience porting plugins has been 99% compatible depending on what classes you're touching.

Sprites have been refactored into more abstraction for each object, windows use a Rectangle for initialization instead of direct x,y,width,height specifications, some methods were "fixed" by giving it a "better name", etc.

But I still have to test it on both engines to make sure a sneaky little change isn't causing problems.

Neato!

How did that script work again? Wasn't it mostly used to move notetags to external files, or was that something else?

Mainly used for restricting usage of things.

Like, if one has a 'LBD' item meant to be worn only by smaller actors...

<tag: LBD> on the database object (actor/class/enemy/state) meant to wear it and <tag_cond: LBD> on the item.

I think notetag manager is the external note field manager you speak of.

Oh I see! When ever I did a script like that I always tended to call things like that 'keywords' or something.

Wow. Huh.
(makes one wonder if such is a thing for VX Ace...)

Hmmm... Did I ever implement this in my game? I can't remember. I might have to take some notes since my game also has a form of grid based combat. I should get back to working on it sometime! Even if it's ridiculously old now. XD

@Kayzee I'd do it just for the sake of solving puzzles lol. It's honestly just a huge puzzle game at this point trying to figure out how to use simple algorithms to accomplish what you want.

Yeah, for sure! That's pretty much how I always kind of saw it. But It would be nice to finish a game thing someday too. XD

In my mind grids are really just a special type of graph/network anyway.

@Kayzee pretty much lol. They just have the property that they all have a specific row/col position and the relationship between each is defined by the position.

It'd be interesting to see whether my code could be generalized to hexagon grids, triangular grids, etc.

I mean really a 'grid space' could be seen as spots/polygons on the screen and a way to tell what space to go to for each direction you can move in. Different types of grids could just be a matter of different constructor functions for how the grids would be set up. Maybe there is a way to just have one constructor, but really square grids, hexagon grids, and triangular grids are basically the only kind of grids you can do anyway... assuming every grid space has to be the same shape and size and you stick to the euclidean plane of course. I doubt anyone is going to try remaking HyperRogue in RPG Maker any time soon though.

Hi, did you implement some features to push or pull enemies for your grid battle engine ? That could be interesting with these state tiles (and for the AoE).

@MGC there is some experimental features in my "movement" plugin that provides a bunch of random movement related stuff.

So when it's done, in theory you could push someone into AoE range and then they get toasted.

Well, now we have a pre-requisite for Diablo-clones in RM. Neat.

aww I remember looking for such system all these years ago when I had no idea how to code. That brought back some memories.

Nice!

That's pretty awesome! 😀

Hello, Hime. I told you the chicken is for eating and patting. Not suitable for a battle.

@Kupotepo you don't make your food work for you?

Yeah, that's pretty neat.
