I've been writing a plugin, and it seems to work. Except there's one oddity I don't understand.
The plugin adds a new option to the Options menu, and the developer can pick what this defaults to by setting a parameter. However, if the developer wants it to default to "false", the setting is grey in the Options menu instead of white. This seems to be purely cosmetic, with everything else working as intended, but it's still annoying.
Code in spoiler:
While I'm here, are there any guides to plugin precedence, compatibility, or general best practices? I haven't been able to find much.

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!
