Quick InfoVersion: Alpha
Made for RPG Maker MZ 1.10.0
Quick StartThe basic setup and usage of this plugin follows the below steps:
1. Add note tag (see note tag section) to skills you want to have a cooldown
2. The skill will go on cooldown when used, both for actors or enemies
3. Further cooldown control coming soon
Note TagsThis plugin uses a note tag to add a cooldown to skills. The note tag goes in any skill note box in the database, and will apply the cooldown to both actors or enemies.
To add a cooldown, use the following notetag:
<cgmzcooldown:x>
where x is the number of turns the skill will be on cooldown. For example, if you wanted a skill that went on cooldown for 5 turns you could do:
<cgmzcooldown:5>
Note that, depending on battle system, a turn will most likely end between when the actor uses the skill and when they can select a new skill, so if you enter in 5 and expect there to still be 5 more turns left, you are probably going to be disappointed since it will go use skill -> 5 turn cooldown -> turn end makes it 4 turns remaining -> skill select. In most cases, you will want to enter in 6 if you want 5 additional turns where the skill is unusable.
Text CodesIn the parameter Cooldown Text, which determines the skill name when it is on cooldown, you can use two special text codes:
%skill - will get replaced by the skill name
%cooldown - will get replaced by cooldown turns remaining
