MV Map Projectiles

FEATURES
Create projectiles that can interact with player and events using script calls.
These projectiles can be fired from the player or an event and set to shoot in a direction, at a target or toward the mouse position. Settings can be used to control which projectiles will hit or run an action on other events, which terrain tag or region id tiles block them, different actions they will do when then hit the player or an event and more.

MV Animated Battleback

FEATURES
Can use battleback graphics that contain multiple frames to cycle through for animation. I advise using sparingly as the files can become quite large and add a lot to loading times if too many frames are used (a precaching plugin might be worth looking into if that is the case).
The upper battleback and lower battleback can be mixed together with animated or not animated backgrounds.

MV Enemy AI

FEATURES
This plugin allows you to notetag skills to make enemies slightly smarter and use those skills only if a certain condition is met and only on certain targets. This includes having heal skills that enemies will use only on their allies that are hurt, using a special attack skill only on actors that have a certain state, etc.
These conditions work with the default ‘rating’ system RPG Maker uses to determine which skill an enemy will use, allowing a basic way to increase enemy AI during battles through these priority skill conditions.

MV Event Detectors

FEATURES
Adds basic functionality to check if events are within a certain distance of the player and if the player is in 180 degree line of sight.
In addition, behaviors can be set up for events to automatically act differently when detecting and not detecting, such as guards chasing when detecting the player and returning to their start location when they lose sight of them (this uses default pathfinding code so does not do long distances well).

MV Event Start Types

FEATURES
Enables code to use in conditional branches to make an event run different commands depending on how the event was triggered.
For example, when an event’s trigger is set to “Event Touch”, it can be run when the event collides with the player, when the player collides with the event or when the player presses the action button. A different outcome can happen for each trigger method.

FEATURES
This plugin changes movement so that when the player taps a direction that he/she is not already facing then they will turn on the spot instead of moving.
