MEMZ_EquipActor
A downloadable RMMZ plugin
Introduction
I had made a plugin to answer a request where one actor could equip another as a item. Now I am adapting my plugins to MZ.
Features
- Equip one actor (item) to another.
- Inherit some of the skills learnt by the item actor
How to Use
In order to make it work, just place <equipActor: x> on any armor or weapon where x is the actorId in the database. Then, equip this item to another different actor while x is on the party. X will leave party and you will equip the item. X will join back when you unequip this item.
You may also use <equipActor: x y> instead, y will be a normal variable to enable so you can check if this equipment is being used, for example, a different y if it's a weapon or a shield.
In order to assign what skills can be inherited or not, you just need to use the <ME_InheritableSkills: X> or <ME_InheritableSkills: X, Y, Z> notetags on the actors, replacing X, Y, Z (you can set any amount of them), with the skills id. If they learn the skill from any source, even equiping other actors, they will be able to pass them down to whoever equips them!
To install, it's the same as other plugins, place it on your project's folder/js/plugins, then link it in the plugin manager.

FAQ
Q: Can I add this tag to every equipable thing?
A: As long as in vanilla it's equipable, yes. You just add the notetag on the weapon, armor, accesory...
Q: What if I have multiple items with the same actor?
A: Your actor will disappear once any of them is equiped, and reappear when any of them is unequiped. Since your actor won't be in party, once you equip the first, you won't be able to equip the second.
Q: Can I equip one actor equiped with an actor? Do buffs stack?
A: Yes you can equip actors equiped with actors to other actors. Buff and stacks are predefined in the editor, so they don't stack.

Few questions
Does this plugin allow the actor to also share the stats of the other actor that they have equipped for bonus stats, and the skills inherited are they permanent or do they forget(lose) the skills when they unequip the actor?
The other question is there a way for the actor who is equipped as an item still gain exp after battles and level up etc, and the new stats and skills that would of gained be updated if they are still equipped?
Hello, let me adress your questions one by one, and please let me know if I misunderstood anything, or have any other questions.
Then if possible could I make a request , to have the option for equipped actors can still gain exp while equipped (even if it's like 25%-50% of the exp earned)?
Also is there a way to have it show what skills is granted and what skills are gained at certain levels for the actor item?
I was thinking on setting it as an optional setting as a plugin param with an option for the same exp as in party, the exp as subparty (50%), or none, I'm not sure I can make a customized amount without messing up with the very exp system and making this into another plugin (Which can also be done, but hopefully won't be needed). I'll work on it as soon as I'm done with SMEAP demo and videos.
As for the later, I take you are asking if would be possible to add some kind of notification when the equiped actor levels up, and learns an inheritable skill. It should take for a while, since that starts to get visual, but I can do it.
That's all I can ask, and that would be awesome
I'm in no rush for it myself, it's just your plugin is the closest thing to what I have been wanting to do for handling skills.
And thank you
