Thanks for making these plugins!! I am currently using Currencies, but for an upgrade system using the shop. Basically an upgraded version of "Staff" ("Enchanted Staff") is being sold for the price of: Staff and a Crystal. This works really well.

What I'd like is for the plugin to see if "Staff" is currently equipped or not, and take the equipped item as currency if it is equipped. This way the user doesn't need to unequip their weapons before going up to the shop to upgrade.

I don't know javascript but I see this:

Code:

Game_Party.prototype.gainItem = function(item, amount, includeEquip)

and I think "includeEquip" should be "true" for this to work the way I'd like? Maybe? Haha.

Anyway, I was wondering if you could make this an option, maybe to turn on in the parameters! Thanks so much

There aren't any current plans to update these at the moment. Plus it'd just be easier to unequip the item than edit the plugin to accommodate that.. Sorry.

Hello! Thank you for those awesome plugins!
I have a question, though.
My protagonist meets 4 people during their adventure (you can choose the player's gender at the beginning of the game) and can befriend them. Different actions or answers shall increase or decrease their relationship status. BUT those 4 people are not neccessarily in the party (at least not from the beginning) and their event sprites show up on different maps, since they roam around.
Am I still able to have a friendship system that way? Because the actor ID refers to the party member and the event ID refers to the specific ID on the map, which is neat if the NPC never moves, but those friends solve a crime together, therefore, they appear on different maps an join or leave the party from time to time.
Thank you in advance

That's not quite correct. An actor ID refers to an actor. It doesn't matter whether they're in your party or not, anything that's tracked on an actor can be tracked regardless.

I haven't looked at the documentation for this plugin, but if you're given a script call to reference an actor's friendship level, you can use that inside of any event you want.

Thank you for your answer

Maybe I've misunderstood the instructions.
I just found the Frienship-Romance-Plugin that he made also, maybe that's an addition or even alternative for me

Yeah sorry LvMZ_Factions.js is a bit more simplified and only works for those "in party" (1 = party leader, 2 = 2nd actor, etc). Although Technically you can use a script call to bypass the plugin command's parameters (replace the actorIDs with the actual ones you're using though):

JavaScript:

// this is the source actor
const actor1 = $gameActors.actor(1);
// this is the actor NOT in the party (has to exist still however)
const actor2 = $gameActors.actor(5);

// "value" is ADDED to current value (so use a negative to lose relations)
actor1.lvSet('setRelation', [actor2, value]);

Alternatively for a more GUI version, yeah the Friendship-Romance one would be a better choice.
Although keep in mind, if modifying relations involving events (it will only get the event on the current map)

I got this plugin set up where copper =1 and default. Gold 100. But when I get over 100 copper it doesn't turn into gold. Is this not automatic? Or do you need to exchange currencies for bigger ones?

If you sell anything is gives an error "Index not defined" also...

It is not automatic in this case, no. Generally it converts "downward" so 1 gold = 100 copper automatically but you seem to be doing it backwards. So you'll need an event take "Take Gold" (since you've setup copper as your default), calculate the amount of GP items to give in turn.

Might be an easier way with the current functions I have but it's almost midnight here when checking this and I haven't worked on this plugin in quite awhile so I'd have to look at it again.

Can you open the console (F8 or F12 if the error prevents F8 from opening it), and take a screenshot? I can get a better idea by seeing the lines where the error is occuring.

Hey, I have the same error. Here is a screenshot.

So a couple questions:
1.) How do you have your currencies setup? Should be greatest to least, as I mentioned. So in the example of D&D like currencies: Item 1 = Gold Piece (price = 100), Item 2 = Silver Piece (price = 10), Item 3 = Copper Piece (price = 1). Each with <Currency> in their note field.

2.) What are you trying to sell? Is it an Alternate Currency or regular item?

1) This was in the demo of your "Economic Systems" plugin
2) It happens when I sell anything in the shop

Hi, if this can help, it seems that this line

JavaScript:

const index = this._sellWindow.index();

is missing in LvMZ_Currencies.js, here :

It works. Thank you!

I'm glad you got it working, but am a bit confused as to how? I didn't have any trouble selling things in the shop during the demo creation. Am wondering about the plugin setup you had (like if you didn't have LvMZ_Currencies active, or something else)?

Just asking for a bit more information (in case anyone else in the future has the same problem).

lordvalinar · Oct 27, 2025

EDIT:
The new files are now live (remember to backup your old ones - just in case - The Demo will be updated later this week)
EDIT 2:
~~And I just realized I released LvMZ_Core without any help or instructions *facepalm* Will fix that (might be ... help-ful *hears the multitude of groans*)~~ Completed

Just a quick update - the GitHub Links are being revised, as I am uploading the new files. Using my new functions to handle plugin parameters and a few other fixes, revisions, additions, etc. The 3 Economic plugins will now require LvMZ_Core (for simplicity and extra functions available for use throughout your projects. Including the following (and many more):

JavaScript:

//Format the string to capitalize one (or all) words
String.prototype.capFirst = function(allWords=false) {};

// Search for a common event ID by name (string or RegEx)
function commonEventId(nameTag) {}

// Checks note tag, then comment, else event info for the event's name
Game_Event.prototype.name = function() {};

// Returns an array with the event's Map ID and Event ID
Game_Event.prototype.objectId = function() {};

// Added function to clear part or all data
// - Value: undefined(clears ALL data)
// - Value: array(removes all actor IDs in the list)
// - Value: number(removes single actorId)
Game_Actors.prototype.clear = function(value) {};

Oh! And with the revision of LvMZ_Factions.js, I will be able to revise the FRS (Friendship-Romance System) plugins with it, making data handling easier, and will be adding an option to toggle which menu choices you want.... basically I'm going over old plugins and making them better

Critical Update (LvMZ_Core v1.5) - 1.4 (that wasn't uploaded) broke MZ ("Failed to initialize Graphics"), 1.5 fixes this issue.
