I'm using SumRndmDde's Summon Core plugin to...well, create a summon skill. What I would like to achieve is that the skill summons a different actor depending on the terrain type (tileset) of the map. From poking around, I think that information is in gameMap._tilesetId for me to evaluate. The question then is how I can implement it. Obviously, some of this stuff I can just start typing into my database and blindly test, but that takes time to keep changing things and rebooting so I figure I'd ask first.

I figure the way to do this is to have the skill call a common event, which will evaluate the tileset and set a variable to be used as the actor ID I'm summoning.

1) How can I tell from reading through a plugin whether a given notetag field accepts Javascript? He says explicitly that several of his notetag fields do, but he doesn't mention about the field to specify the actor you're summoning. If I can just use that one notetag and say the actor being summoned is the variable I'm using in the common event, that would be easiest.

2) How can I activate a skill from inside an event? I see commands to set skills and such, but not to activate one, but I figure there must be a script function call for it. The less-desirable option would be to make a different summoning skill for every possible tileset, have one that the player learns, and that calls a common event which activates one of the other skills depending on the player's tileset.

Our latest feature is an interview with... me?!

People4_2 (Capelet off and on) added!

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
one bad plugin combo later and one of my followers is moonwalking off the screen on his own... I didn't even more yet on the new map lol.
