Shatter Battle Transition - for RPG MAKER MZ

UPDATE 2.0.0!!

NE_3_ShatterTransition.js has been updated to Version 2.0.0.

This new version is a major update focused on improving performance, stability, and customization. The plugin has been reworked in several parts in order to provide a smoother and more flexible shatter transition effect.

GENERAL:

Shatter Battle Transition is a plugin for RPG Maker MZ that replaces the default battle transition. The new transition simulates a shattering glass effect across the screen before transferring the scene to battle.

The plugin is almost plug-and-play, but it also provides several parameters to customize the effect and adapt it to different projects and performance needs.

PLUGIN PARAMETERS: 

This plugin now includes several parameters for customizing both the visual effect and its performance.

Transition Enabled

Enables or disables the shatter transition by default. If disabled, the game will use the default battle transition.

Quality Preset

This parameter controls the amount of fragments generated during the effect. Lower settings improve performance, while higher settings create a denser and more detailed shatter effect.

Shatter Transition Duration

This parameter controls the speed of the transition. The higher the value, the slower the whole transition process will be.

Shatter Break Sound

This is the sound effect played when the screen shatters. It is taken from the audio/se/ folder.

Delay Type

This parameter controls how the delay between fragment movements is calculated. You can choose between different delay modes depending on the style of effect you want.

Delay Multiplier

This parameter adjusts the intensity of the selected delay mode. Higher values increase the delay between fragments, while lower values make the pieces move more closely together.

Mesh Variation Mode

This parameter controls how the shatter pattern is generated.

You can choose between:

• a fixed pattern,
• a pooled variation system,
• or full random generation.

This allows you to balance visual variety and performance.

Mesh Pool Size

When using the pooled variation mode, this parameter determines how many different shatter patterns can be cached and reused.

Radial Force

This parameter controls the initial outward force applied to fragments at the start of the transition.

Gravity Force

This parameter controls the downward force applied to the fragments while they move.

Rotation Force

This parameter controls the amount of rotational motion applied to the fragments during the animation.

PLUGIN COMMANDS:

The plugin also provides commands to enable or disable the shatter transition directly inside RPG Maker MZ. This makes it easier to control when the effect should be used during gameplay.

PLUGIN COMPATIBILITY:

This plugin is compatible with VisuStella's core's plugins and It should not give problems with other plugins if the don't affect battle transition.

The older version of the plugin (v1.0.2) is still available for download.

RPG MAKER VERSION:

The plugin is developed on Rpg Maker MZ - Version 1.10.0 and with the related PIXI.js Version 5.3.12. 

This plugin is not compatible with RPG MAKER MV.
