Eli Enemy Class - They now have Levels, Exp, Equipments and Class!

[Eliaquim]

Author: Hakuen Studio​

Introduction

Do you ever want to give your enemies more complexity? Or even have more control over them?
That is your plugin! With this, you will be able to customize a lot of things!
Can give classes to enemies, level, exp, and equipment!

*It's compatible with Eli_ClassCurves.js

Features

● Enemies can have classes!
● Enemies have levels!
● Enemies have Exp!
● Enemies can equip weapons/armors!

How to use

Spoiler: ♦ NOTE TAGS ♦

To assign a class to an enemy you have to use a note tag:

• <ClassId: ID> - Replace ID with the class id you want.

Optionally, you can set the initial level and max level of the enemy:

• <InitialLevel: 1> - If you don't use it, it will be 1 by default.
• <MaxLevel: 99> - if you don't use it, it will be 99 by default.

You can also, optionally, set the initial equipment for the enemy:

• <Equips: Slot:EquipId, Slot:EquipId>

<Equips: 1:13, 3:4> - Slot 1 will be equipped with a weapon/armor of id 13.
- Slot 3 will be equipped with a weapon/armor of id 4.

You just need to separate slot and id with ":" and each of them with a comma (","), in case you want to set more than one piece of equipment to the enemy.

ATTENTION! All notes are case sensitive!

Spoiler: ♦ Plugin Commands (MZ) ♦

You can change the class, equipment, and level of the enemies with plugin commands.

Spoiler: ♦ SCRIPT CALLS ♦

You can manage the enemy equipment, level, and Exp just like actors.
I mean, using the same script calls.

To equip a actor with a weapon:

$gameActors.actor(id).changeEquip(slotId, weapon/armor)

$gameActors.actor(1).changeEquip(0, $dataWeapons[13])
OR
$gameParty.members()[0].changeEquip(0, $dataWeapons[13])

So, for the enemies, you can either equip them by default with the note tags, or use the script call to equip them with other pieces of equipment when the battle starts:

$gameTroop.members()[memberIndex].changeEquip(slotId, weapon/armor)
$gameTroop.members()[memberIndex].levelUp()
$gameTroop.members()[memberIndex].levelDown()
$gameTroop.members()[memberIndex].changeLevel(level)

etc...

So I discovered that the enemies' HP isn't fully recovered upon the start of battle. I've been able to work around it by setting the enemy HP (in the enemy database and not the class) at a high number...

Hey, amazing plugin!

I'm currently using it right now, I just have one suggestion/petition
When giving the enemies equipment, would it be possible to give them more than one of the same type of equipment? Something like this:

<Equips: 3:3, 3:4>

It would go so well with other scripts that allow more than one slot of the same type. Anyways, great plugin, your whole library is excellent.

PS: Almost forgot! If the equipment gives Hp they start with that much Hp missing. I don't know if this is intentional or not (might be my fault, bad mix of plugins), it's no problem, just wanted to know, I'm curious about it XD.

PSS: Ok, I'm a bit dumb, didn't realize I could just make them ignore the rules and put <Equips: 2:3, 3:4> and that that would make them equip both, even if one doesn't belong in that slot. Welp, SUPER amazing plugin still curious about the Hp thing tho lol

@gambitben Hi there!
Thanks for the compliments!!

By the way, thanks for the report! I manage to fix the issue. Please download the new version

Wow, you work fast! Thank you for the new version

I tried it for MV and I got his error, which might be due to it conflicting with other plugins, tho 1.1.3 worked well for me. Hope the pic helps!

Hi!
Sorry about that, it is already fixed!
Please download the new version for MV (1.1.5)

Version 1.1.5(MV ONLY) - 11/23/2021
- Fixed a typo that was causing a crash.

 

[gambitben]

I downloaded and tried it, it doesn't crash now but the Hp from the equipment is still missing when combat starts I can circumvent it by healing them at start of battle, but I'd be way more convenient if it updated XD

Well, that is strange. The plugin work here on my tests just fine. Can you send me a sample project replicating the issue? So I can take a look better.

 

[gambitben]

I just tested it, it was my fault sorry

It has a small incompatability with Yanfly's Base Parameter control & class base param. Without those it works just fine. It updates correctly.

Amazing plugin as always! Got everything to work without issue right away.

I am a little confused on the EXP part of it. How does that work? Do the enemies gain EXP as the party does? It seems that if I don't set an initial level higher than 1, they are all at 1. I have a party set at between 5 and 9 and the enemy stays at 1.

Hi there
The Exp part works for the enemies the same as it work for actors. What I mean is, that they are implemented in code, and you can modify enemy exp in battle and make them level up/down as they gain exp.
But you have to manually give them exp. Maybe I will do something in the future to make them gain exp if they defeat an actor.

As for the levels, by default, they all starts with level 1. If you don't set a initial level, they will be set to 1 automatically.

That could be a neat idea!
I was kind of hoping to make things a little more automated by possibly having it find an average level based of the party members. This works though, just hard to figure out what level to set the enemies at, at certain parts of the game.

Otherwise I do have one other suggestion, maybe making it show the enemy level with their name.
I found the enemy levels plugin by Hime, all it does it show a level but doesn't change stats at all, and your plugin works perfectly with it. Would just be nice to have both in one.

Hi!

About showing the enemy level with their name, where do you want it to be shown? On the default enemy selection window? Oron his sprite?
Can you send me a screenshot and mark where do you want it?

About the average level thing, I believe you could set the below script call in a common event, and set it in the beginning of every battle:

const partyLevel = $gameParty.members().reduce( (accumulator, member) => member.level + accumulator, 0)
const averageLevel = Math.floor( partyLevel/$gameParty.size() )
$gameTroop.members().forEach(enemy => {
    enemy.changeLevel(averageLevel)
    enemy.recoverAll()
})

See if this will work!

[EDIT] A little bit more explanation.

The script is adding up the level of all group members and divides by the number of group members, thus getting an average of the group level.
Then he is changing the level of each enemy according to this average.

If you want to only get the average level of the party by counting only the actors who will be on battle, you can do this instead:

const partyLevel = $gameParty.battleMembers().reduce( (accumulator, member) => member.level + accumulator, 0)
const averageLevel = Math.floor( partyLevel/$gameParty.battleMembers().length )
$gameTroop.members().forEach(enemy => {
    enemy.changeLevel(averageLevel)
    enemy.recoverAll()
})

Hello again!
That small script call to average levels works perfectly!
That was actually pretty impressive, you replied with these fixes in less than an hour!

Thank you very much for the help!

Here's a screenshot, I don't have the selection box, but if there is a way to have it like this, that would be great, again, in this screenshot I have Hime's enemy levels plugin on.

Thanks for the screenshot! I will see about making an extension plugin that allows that!
