(I think this is the right forum for this, I'm still learning to navigate the forums.)

I'm trying to implement a copper/silver/gold currency system (Like in Neverwinter or Dungeon's and Dragons table-top games) and I came across this plugin. The problem is that I'm very new to this. I've only just begun learning anything about Java Script and how Plugin's are used/built. I typically learn best by just jumping in and trying but I haven't gotten anywhere with this. I don't have any screenshots.

So, could someone either explain how this plugin is implemented or point me to a tutorial explaining the skills I need to understand this? That second one would be particularly helpful.

Edit: I realize now I failed to give enough information. The problem I'm having is once I have it installed, I'm having trouble with setting up the copper and silver. Do I need to set up a variable. All I can get to function is the default gold. And I have assumed that I just delete the name for the currency in the system options.

edit part two electric boogaloo:
I figured it out, I made this post then it suddenly started making sense. You do indeed need to set up a variable, then instead of using 'add gold' you use 'control variable'. The Yanfly video on how to set up a variable for there system was how I figured that part out.

Edit:
Why was this so hard to implement? You don't need variables or notes. Just plug it in, pick your images, make sure it's towards the bottom of the list, then enter the copper amount that the item is worth and it automatically calculates it to gold and silver. Enter 10 into the gold amount in the chest? you get a silver, just manually change the text. I went into this expecting it to be difficult to install and created a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Thank you everyone who followed me through this. Apparently, I just needed to make a post to be able to think straight. I did see when I was looking for help on this matter before that some people had a similar issue. Hopefully, this might be a resource for them if they're still looking for an answer.

if you mean installed? put it into your project folder -> js -> plugins folder,
once it's inside, go to your editor and click the green puzzle (plugin database)
and double click on an empty space and select the plugin, adjust the parameters
and your good to go.

I added more information to the initial question, but I also figured it out! Thank you for taking the time to read this though!

@ForeverDreamer implement is through params,
silver ratio = 100 is, when you silver is 100, you get +1 gold.

12583 gold will show, 1 gold, 25 silver, 83 copper.
the ratio tell you how much copper you need to turn into silver,
if you do 1000 copper is 1 silver, than 1000 gold = 1 silver.

this is pure gold divided into gold, silver, copper ratio.

so hopefully tomorrow i get to go home from the hospital i've been here for 5 days already and it's driving me mad. I miss my family like crazy but at least I get to use my own toiletries and my own clothes. My mom is coming to visit soon i can't wait to see her cause i miss her the most. :kaojoy:
Couple hours of work. Might use in my game as a secret find or something. Not sure. Fancy though no? :D
Holy stink, where have I been? Well, I started my temporary job this week. So less time to spend on game design... :(
Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
Do you Find Tilesetting or Looking for Tilesets/Plugins more fun? Personally I like making my tileset for my Game (Cretaceous Park TM) xD
