Quick InfoVersion: Alpha R3
Made for RPG Maker MZ 1.9.0
Added DataSome properties this plugin adds to actors, such as icons or busts, are meant to be used by other plugins. On its own, this plugin does not do anything with these parameters.

Developers can use these properties by calling:
actor.CGMZ_actorUpgradeData('icon');
or
actor.CGMZ_actorUpgradeData('bust');

These properties are also likely to be used throughout [CGMZ] plugins in optional integrations with this plugin.
Stat WeightsTo optimize equipment, the default formula is to just add up every stat point and see which is highest. While this might be decent, a lot of characters may want certain stats more than others. Your healer and and magician may want high magical attack instead of high attack. With Stat Weights, you can weight these stat points to be more valuable for these actors.

How it works is that each stat change of the equipment will be multiplied by that actor's stat weight, and then added together to get a total value for that piece of equipment. For example, if a sword has +10 attack and an actor has a 2x stat weight for attack, those stat points would be counted as 20 for that actor. Another actor may only have a 0.5x stat weight for attack, and the sword would only have a total value of 5 for that actor.
Plugin CommandsThis plugin supports the following plugin commands:
Set Bust - This will change the given actor's bust image

Set Icon - Change an actor's icon property mid game

Set Face - Change an actor's face hp images mid game
