Materia System
This plugin replicate the Materia system from the game Final Fantasy VII. You can attch ‘materias’ on the actor equipment to gain skills, parameter boost and varied special effects. Besides the original features, there are some new features such as the possibility to attach materias directly to the actor and add more than two linked slots at once.

Did you watch the video? Did you read through the instructions on the plugin help?
You need to make several setup to have this plugin working.
If you already made the setup, post screenshots of the notetags used so I can check if there is any mistake.
Now if you didn’t do any notetag setup at all, you can’t expect the plugin to work.

I think I’m doing something wrong. I’m trying to add a temproaly slot to a character via states. The Scene shows the temporaly slot, but doesn’t allow to attach any materia, just doesn’t shows any of them.
Is this a bug or I’m missing something?
Thanks for your amazing work

How I’m supposed to know if there is something wrong if you don’t show how you did it?
Provide screenshots of your setup and notetags so I can see if there anything wrong with the setup or if it’s a bug.

Sorry, my explanation is a mess.
You can try it yourself.
If you put this into Harold notetag:
Soul: 0:0:0
and you give him an state with the next on the notetag:
Mind: 0:0:0
The result is that Harold will have six slots. This is correct, but you can’t equip anything on the Mind slots. It shows no materia to equip. I tried to give every armor type permision but this also doesn’t work.
I don’t know if this is suposed to run in that way or if is a bug.
Thank you.

I think that error may be coming from not having the icons for the materia and slots not being available and/or set. In the demo video, take a look at the bottom 2 rows of icons present when Victor’s setting up the materia.

Hey! first of all great work with this plugin, its awesome.
I’m having trouble making the enemy skill materia, actors wont learn the skill.

Here is a screenshot of the materia

Also i noticed pairing enemyskill with all materia makes toggle on enemyskills,

You can disable the materia command from the main menu with plugin commands.
Now, to add the materia command to the shop menu, you would need to edit the plugin as this is not available.

Yes, but you need to use a script call. I belive that the following code on a script call should do it:

Estou com uma dúvida. Como eu poderia criar uma matéria que aumente a
taxa de Gold, que você recebe no final da batalha.
Por exemplo:
Nível 1: aumenta em 20% a taxa de Gold recebido.
Nível 2: aumenta em 40% a taxa.
e assim por diante.
Eu sei que no RPG Maker tem a opção de colocar Habilidade do Grupo como “Dobro de Ouro”, mas essa habilidade é fixa e não é bem isso que eu estou querendo.

Você precisaria de outro plugin adicione isso aos Traits do equipamento que vai ser usado como materia, mas isso vai depender de como o plugin implementa isso. E o efeito não teria relação com o nivel da materia. Para isso precisaria de um codigo mais especifico que o plugin não tem.

The level star uses default rpg maker opacity function, unless the recent updates from RM changed that it should display fine.
There is no “extra gold” effect for the materias.

ok thanks for your reply, so if its using rpg makers opacity and the plugin has no control over that can i increase it somehow?
when using paired materia is there a way that the paired effect will only work for certain materia it can pair with? e.g the all materia effect wont work when paired with steal materia or enemy skill materia but will pair effect with fire.

hey Victor
is it possible to make each star of a materia give a state? just like with the skills,
the limited doesnt seem to work when used on a all materia it always allows to target all after one us at one star when it shouldnt when using limited and when used on a skill materia you can keep on using the skill after one use when its only 1 star when it shouldnt
limited suppose to be 1 use per materia level right? well its ignoring that
LikeLike
No, but you can use the passive state plugin to make skills that apply states.
Where is the limited tag? The limited tag applies to the materia itself, if you have a magic materia with limited, it will limit the magics of this materia, not the all materia paired on it. the limited tag should be on the all materia.
LikeLike
i used the limited tag in the all materia and it wasnt limiting the use of all when paired with a magic materia then i tried limited on a magic materia itself and same problem
both allowing use after the first use on 1 star which shouldnt be happening
1 star = 1 use
my all materia is
[materia]
type: support
ap: 2000, 4000, 8000, 16000
