Introduction
This plugin allows actors, enemies, classes, skills, states, items, weapons, armors, and events to be tagged and those tags to be easily retrieved via script.
Features
Example Use Cases
The general usage below should give you a couple of ideas, but in case you miss them here are the examples mentioned, and maybe a few others:
Anyway, those are just a few things that come to mind (and a couple that I'm using in my project currently), but I'm sure there are many, many more that can surface over time.
How to Use
Add tags to your actor, class, enemy, skill, state, item, weapon, armor, or event as illustrated below.
Multiple tags per entry can be separated by white-space or commas, and tags are case insensitive.
Add tags to events via the Comment event command.
<Tags: Plant>
... or...
<TAGS: root, red, alchemy>
... or...
<tags: BOSS FIRERESIST EXTRAGOLD>
Once your tags are added, they can be accessed in almost any location via:
[Object].hasTag("plant") // for exact tag checking
// ... or you can use asterisks to specify wild-card tag searches (v1.1)...
[Object].hasTag("*RESIST") // for performing a wild-card search looking for anything that ends with "resist"
This will return a boolean result indicating whether your object contains that tag or not. Tags can also be added and removed programmatically by calling either:
[Object].addTag("spoiled")
... or...
[Object].removeTag("fresh")
Note: Removing a tag that does not exist will NOT throw an error.
Events Note: Due to the volatile nature of events, adding and removing tags dynamically is not currently possible. Tags on events do change between the events pages; they simply cannot be addTag()/removeTag()'d.
A couple of utility methods have also been added to allow you to quickly scan the party for tags on items they either possess or have equipped, or tags on states they may have active.
NeMV.Tags.AnyPartyItemsHaveTag("magical")
... will return true if the party possesses any items tagged as "magical".
NeMV.Tags.AnyPartyStatesHaveTag("weapon")
... will return true if a party actor has a state tagged as "weapon".
NeMV.Tags.EventsThatHaveTag("harvestable")
... will return a collection of Game_Event objects tagged as "harvestable".

FAQ
Q: Does this work with YEP - ______?
A: There is some additional support for YEP - Item Core, and that works assuming you use...
DataManager.getBaseItem(item)
Other than that, I don't know of any conflicts with anything in the YEP.
Q: Is this able to be used in commercial projects?
A: Absolutely! Wouldn't that be cool?!
Q: If I use this, do I need to say so anywhere?
A: If you can make use of my work on any level, then I would absolutely love to know about it, but I make no attribution requirements or the like. NeMV is licensed under the WTFPLv2.

Author's Notes
I put together this little plugin that I thought may be of use to someone, and since I don't have any real posts here yet, I thought I'd give it a go. Happy tagging!

Introduction
This plugin allows actors, enemies, classes, skills, states, items, weapons, armors, and events to be tagged and those tags to be easily retrieved via script.
Features
- Simple notetag syntax
- Applies to nearly any object (now even events!)
- Reduces conditional blocks considerably
Example Use Cases
The general usage below should give you a couple of ideas, but in case you miss them here are the examples mentioned, and maybe a few others:
- Adding/removing states to items (e.g. fresh/spoiled food)
- Defining thematic categories of items (e.g. scientific/magical)
- Giving enemies traits to affect the behaviors of skills (e.g. weapons that hurt plants extra)
- Giving actors/enemies a gender to better influence random conversation (e.g. "Yeah, girl power!" when all party actors are tagged female)
- Changing the user experience dynamically (e.g. only show crafting UI options when the party actually has a crafting material)
- Customizing skills (e.g. only purge positive states from an enemy without specifying every possible buff)
- Tracking event activation (e.g. how many treasure chests the player opens or elders they talk to)
- Add visual markers to types of events (e.g. highlight all "harvestable" plants on a common event)
Anyway, those are just a few things that come to mind (and a couple that I'm using in my project currently), but I'm sure there are many, many more that can surface over time.
How to Use
Add tags to your actor, class, enemy, skill, state, item, weapon, armor, or event as illustrated below.
Multiple tags per entry can be separated by white-space or commas, and tags are case insensitive.
Add tags to events via the Comment event command.
<Tags: Plant>
... or...
<TAGS: root, red, alchemy>
... or...
<tags: BOSS FIRERESIST EXTRAGOLD>
Once your tags are added, they can be accessed in almost any location via:
[Object].hasTag("plant") // for exact tag checking
// ... or you can use asterisks to specify wild-card tag searches (v1.1)...
[Object].hasTag("*RESIST") // for performing a wild-card search looking for anything that ends with "resist"
This will return a boolean result indicating whether your object contains that tag or not. Tags can also be added and removed programmatically by calling either:
[Object].addTag("spoiled")
... or...
[Object].removeTag("fresh")
Note: Removing a tag that does not exist will NOT throw an error.

... will return true if the party possesses any items tagged as "magical".
NeMV.Tags.AnyPartyStatesHaveTag("weapon")
... will return true if a party actor has a state tagged as "weapon".
NeMV.Tags.EventsThatHaveTag("harvestable")
... will return a collection of Game_Event objects tagged as "harvestable".
