Summary

ST_ActorPedigree.js (v1.0.0) Stahltier (aka autophagy)​ Introduction If you've ever wanted to have some sort of family tree or pet breeding system in your game, you may find it useful to have a scene displaying an actor's pedigree . This plugin lets you do that, given that you give it information about who each actor's parents are. You don't HAVE to assign parents to each actor of course -it will handle the lack of any known parent or grandparent by just filling in the blank spots in the pedigree with "???".

Introduction
If you've ever wanted to have some sort of family tree or pet breeding system in your game, you may find it useful to have a scene displaying an actor's pedigree . This plugin lets you do that, given that you give it information about who each actor's parents are. You don't HAVE to assign parents to each actor of course -it will handle the lack of any known parent or grandparent by just filling in the blank spots in the pedigree with "???".

I made this plugin as a coding practice to teach myself how to create custom scenes and windows, so please ignore the incredibly messy code, but feel free to use it in your projects and please remember to credit me if you do.

Features

• Custom scene that displays the actor's parents and grandparents
• Plugin Parameters to customize the look of the scene
• Plugin Commands and script calls to open the scene, and to assign new parents to an actor
• Compatible with VisuMZ's Elements and Status Core plugin and uses that plugin's status window instead of RMMZ's default one if it's installed in the project for maximum compatibility!
• There's some rudimentary logic to use the menu actor for the scene if you call it from the main menu instead of from the plugin command, but I didn't test this enough yet to advertise it as a "proper" feature.

How to Use

1. Download the javascript file, put it into your project's "plugins" folder
2. Enable it via the plugin manager
3. Set the desired default values in the plugin parameters
4. Check out the plugin's Help section for how to use the notetags, script calls, and plugin commands

Plugin Commands / Script Calls
The plugin parameters and plugin command arguments were set up in a way that should be mostly foolproof, they shouldn't let you enter values that aren't valid. There are advanced versions of the plugin commands that let you enter JS to be more flexible, and the script calls have examples that you can copy-paste and run in your project to see how they work.

Please check out the Help section of the plugin for details on what is available and how to use it.
