Version Alpha R5 Release Notes


Hi all, today this plugin was updated to version Alpha R5.

This is quite a significant update, with a new tool type: the lantern tool. A lantern tool is a proximity based tool that can activate or deactivate event self switches by the distance the event is from the player. When the player walks within the range of the tool, the self switch will turn ON, and when the player moves out of range, the self switch will turn OFF. You can use this for many different unique mechanics, one of which could be invisible paths over impassable pits. You can also optionally show a [CGMZ] Light Effect on the player while this tool is equipped. See gif below for example:

This update also added tools that can require the player to have an item in their inventory to use, and tools that can consume items from the player's inventory upon use. Together, you can now make an arrow tool that requires arrows to be in the inventory to use, and consumes these arrow items when used.

This update also adds an integration with [CGMZ] Event Movement. You can now set up certain dungeon tools such as the arrow, boomerang, or hookshot to stun an event when it connects with the event. One use for this could be to add a tactical element to on-map enemies, where your player may opt to stun the enemies with their dungeon tools instead of fight.

This update comes with some quality of life updates. The Dungeon Tool Select scene now supports a maximum line count to show before scrolling, and it will only show lines as needed up to this maximum. This should make the scene look much cleaner than before. A plugin command was added to force the use of the currently equipped tool. The tool icon parameter now uses the plugin icon select ui.
