I primarily did this plugin because I needed a break from my menu plugins and wanted to do something easy for a while.


How it works:

• Skills and Items can become capture skills by adding a <Capture> notetag
• Enemies become capturable by adding a <Capturable: x> notetag, where X is the ID of an actor
• When an enemy is successfully captured, it disappears from battle, and the respective actor is added to the party as soon as the battle ends
• Consequently, you cannot capture an enemy twice

Features

• Success rate by custom formula
• Success rate is displayed to the player
• Notetags to modify success rate for actors, enemies, skills
• Add minimum required levels to capture for each enemy

<Capture Bonus: 10>

Code:

Can be added to Actor, Class, Equip, States (basically everything an actor has access to)
Can also be applied to Capture Skills & Items
Raises success rate by 10%
You may use negative values to make it harder to capture

<Capture Evade: 10>

Code:

Can be added to Enemies, States (when they are on the enemy)
Decreases success rate by 10%
You may use negative values to make is easier to capture

<Capture Required Level: x>

Code:

Can be added to Enemies
Actor must have at least level x to capture

<Capture Immune to Skill: 1, 2, 3>

Code:

Can be added Enemies
This enemy is immune to skills 1, 2, 3

<Capture Immune to Item: 1, 2, 3>

Code:

Can be added to Enemies
This enemy is immune to item 1, 2, 3

Of course, this is a great combo with https://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/threads/pet-summon-plugin.154499/, but I also want to emphasize that both of my plugins are stand-alone; you can easily use another plugin with this capture plugin, or vice versa, another capture plugin with my summon plugin.
