Below you’ll find more details about what this plugin offers.

FULL-EXPERIENCE MODE
Plugin Details: Character Fears
This plugin introduces a "Fear" system to your game, allowing characters to experience "psychological stress" based on their surroundings or the enemies they have around.
When a character encounters something they are afraid of, such as a specific monster type, a spooky location, or a cursed area, they will enter in this stressed state, and their combat performance will automatically drop.
Features
- Personal Phobias: You can define exactly what each character is afraid of. Whether it is a specific type of enemy (like ghosts or insects) or a particular map, the character will automatically enter the "Fear State" whenever that trigger is present.
- Location-Based Terror: Using map regions, you can mark specific areas as frightening. As soon as a character enters these zones, they will suffer stat penalties.
- Dynamic Triggers and Switches: You can use simple game switches to turn fears on or off. This allows your characters to "overcome" a fear whenever you decide, or introduce a new fear as well.
Use Examples
- Exploring Spooky Locations: Imagine a character who is terrified of abandoned houses. While exploring an abandoned mansion, that character's agility and defense are significantly reduced. The player must then decide whether to rely on that character’s unique skills or swap them out to avoid the penalty.
- The Intimidating Boss: A powerful boss can be set as a source of fear for the entire party. As long as the boss is present in the battle, the party feels intimidated and weakened, making the fight more challenging in different ways.

Differences between the Versions
Demo versions are early builds of the plugin. They have fewer features and differ significantly from the full releases. However, they serve as examples: they allow you to quickly grasp what the plugin can do and often provide enough functionality for smaller projects.
Demo versions do not receive direct updates. As they are early editions, their contents have been improved and updated in the full versions. The demos are free to download on itch.io using the “Download Demo” button.
Full versions are the complete releases of the plugin. They include all features and receive ongoing feature updates and constant support. (Remember that support is always provided for the most recent version of the plugin.)

What is a FULL EXPERIENCE MODE plugin?
At Undermax we always want you to have the best experience, and we know that DEMO versions don't always showcase all the plugin's capabilities. Maybe you're unsure whether to buy the FULL version of the plugin. That's why, in some of our plugins, you can download and run a demonstration example of that plugin in its FULL version so you can try it in a closed and safe environment.
This lets you explore in greater detail those features and improvements that the DEMO version doesn't offer.
Keep in mind that the FULL EXPERIENCE MODE only lets you run the plugin in this project and it will not be compatible with other personal projects. This means you wouldn't have access to the original plugin file, which you would receive if you purchased the FULL version.
FULL EXPERIENCE MODE plugins are only compatible with PC devices running Windows, which is the environment we work with.

Thank you so much for this system, I think it's brilliant! :D I wondered something; is it possible to have a character's fear be triggered by a state? For example, a character who fears death being afflicted with the spell Doom, (which kills you after X amount of turns)?
Hi! I’m glad you liked it.
I'm not sure I understood the idea fully, but I suppose you can use the conditional switch:
<fear: "type", stateId, switchId(optional)>
By basically adding that to the actors' notes, you’ll make them fear X type of enemy.
It’s just a matter of activating the switch if the user has X status effect applied.
Hope this helps! Cheers
Thank you for the tip! I'll totally try it out soon! I just wanted to pop in and report a bug I think I found! I've been trying out various day/night plugins for my game, but each one conflicts with this plugin. The error always pops up on game launch and reads; 'Cannot read property 'note' of null.' I can't re-create this with any other plugins, just day/night ones.
Hello! I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing this issue.
To analyze and resolve it more quickly, I kindly ask you to do me a favor. Please send me a demo of the project where you're encountering the issue, including the configuration you're using, so I can review some details.
You can send me the entire project folder in a zip file and upload it to Google Drive or any hosting service of your choice.
Attach the link by completing the form on the support page:
https://undermax.online/undermax/support.html
Also, include any additional and detailed information so I can have the same setup as you to replicate the error in my environment.
Thank you very much!
this might sound like a strange suggestion, but no other plugin creator has done it, but a plugin that when active it makes a weapon attacks use the ICON for that weapon. this was a very common plugin type in the past and I was shocked to find it's not a thing here.
in past RPGMakers you could find plugins that made it so attacking in SV with "attack" or skills, any time you would see a weapon, it would use your weapons icon as the visuals it would swing, similar to old final fantasy games. here is a video of it in action (skip to 30 seconds in)
Hello I understand what you're saying, but visustella made a plugin that does that a while ago. I left you the plugin here:
http://www.yanfly.moe/wiki/Weapon_Animation_VisuStella_MZ
Take care!
Edit:
I don't know if it is compatible with tileset icons directly. Because I don't like working with the battle scene, I don't think I'll be able to make a plugin that allows me to do that.
thanks for the link! I saw that before but I think that is actually different. that uses a custom sprite sheet and as far as I know you can't specify using the icon of the weapon itself. the simplicity of using the icon for the weapon itself is pretty nice. unless the linked asset lets you use 1 frame weapons that are part of an atlas.
it seems like the linked asset mainly lets you use more weapon attack animation sheets (1 sheet with different sprites for weapon) instead of letting you use a sprite sheet (icon set with 1 frame for many weapons) and select 1 frame from that set to use for that weapon. I would love if I'm wrong on that though!
