Multicast - Plugin for RPG Maker MV

Version 1.2.3
Author: dingk
RMMV version 1.6.2
Updated September 19, 2021

Introduction

This plugin allows an actor to cast more than one skill in the same turn like in the Final Fantasy series. To perform a multicast, first select the Multicast skill, then select multiple skills in the same window, provided that you meet the skill costs.

Plugin Parameters

Multicast Type

• Determines the default multicast type that is applied to all Multicast skills.
• 0 - Select and cast multiple skills at once.
• 1 - Select only one skill, casts it multiple times, each with its own target selection.
• 2 - Select only one skill, casts it multiple times, but cannot select different targets.

Show Finish Multicast

• Allow the player to finish a multicast skill selection early (e.g. select two skills while triple casting).
• Useful when actors have multicast via states, where a low MP actor won't have enough MP to multicast, whereas if enabled via skill, they can just cancel it.

Notetags

Insert these in the "Notes" section of the following categories:

Skill and State Notetags

• The following notetags can be applied to skills and states.
• If applied to a skill, you must select the skill to activate Multicasting.
• If applied to a state, an actor with this state always has Multicasting active and cannot be disabled unless the state expires.

<Multicast x: y, y, ...>
<Multicast x: y to z>

Let the skill activate Multicasting.
x - The number of skills that can be selected
y, z - IDs of the skills that you want to multicast

<Multicast Type: x>

Set the skill to be a certain multicast type. See Plugin Parameters for more details.

<Multicast Cost: x.y>

Change the skill cost rate while multicasting. For example, you can set multicasted skill to cost 1.5 times more.

Example

Creates the Dualcast skill, allowing the player to select skill IDs 8 to 10 (Heal, Fire, Spark) two times.

Compatibility

• Won't work with plugins that allow custom skill costs.
• Works with YEP_SkillCore's HP costs.
• Works with YEP_X_SkillCostItems (as of v1.2.0).
• Only works with battle systems that allow multiple actions per turn. That means systems like Yanfly's ATB, CTB, and STB, and Moghunter's ATB will NOT work, but Victor's ATB will.
