In a future update I will add using items as currency as it is quite a common request, but for now they are not linked to anything in the database. You can set default prices for items in each currency, but you could not use items as currency themselves.
can this plugin be used to create a DnD style currency system?
you know where you have a hierarchy of coins, something like "copper < silver < gold < platinum" where for example 100 copper coins are 1 silver coin, 100 silver coins are 1 gold coin and 100 gold coins are 1 platinum coin, etc
Hi, this plugin allows you to create as many custom currencies as you want, however it does not allow for having a hierarchy of coins within a single currency like you describe yet.
In essence, you'd have to keep track of this using background running common events and variables. The plugin doesn't provide this function, but, it can be evented. I've done so in VX Ace with a different script author's currency system (that functions similarly).
Hi, how it works for shops is that you will use the Plugin Command to Set Main Currency to whatever currency you want to use in the shop, and then change back after the shop processing event command if needed.

Looking at this, it does seem that one could have database items set up as currency, and use those with this plugin.
Is this presumption correct?
Hi, not currently, the currencies created with this plugin are not database items, weapons, or armors. They are a completely custom CGMZ data class.
So, they cannot be linked, even, to items created in the database?

Okay. Good to know. Thanks.

你好，这真的是非常好的插件。但也许我的操作有问题，我不确定如何用特殊货币进行交易。我想知道你能不能告诉我如何使用第二种货币进行结算？

I see! So just switch to the main currency before the store and then switch it over afterwards and it will work? Thank you very much for your reply!
Sorry!It was so late yesterday that I forgot to translate the comments posted up!I'm sorry for the trouble! I'm very sorry!
Hi, it's ok, did you get it working?
It can work now! Very interesting plugin! The second currency setup is very interesting!
