I have some for you, Casper. :) I plan on using your plugin mainly for the "extra stats checking (and referencing)" part. I would like the following to be added inside the "Variable Options":

Weapons Bought
Armor Bought
Total Critical
Enemies Slain
Highest Damage
Death Count
Total EXP earned

The reason I ask, is that category of your plugin makes it super easy to tie a custom statistic to a variable. Yours enabled me to add Gold Spent + Damage Taken / Dealt easily, which is appreciated. I've only learned and made my variables database today (all pre-sorted + named), so was a lot to take in. For one, its strange how they never auto-update on their own when checked inside the debugging menu (your Battle Result plugin can allow constant-reupdating anything battle-related, however, which is great).

EDIT: Your script-call for variables (forcing them to update post-battles) works! <3 Also interestingly, the ones set inside the "variable options" such as Items bought, DMG Dealt/Taken always update automatically. I dont even need to trigger an event nor add them in a C.E. post-battle! One more thing: If fleeing via item-use, the count doesn't seem to update "Escape Count". Lastly: I understand why you split "Money Earned from Battle" vs "Sold items." But what if one wanted "Earned from battles" PLUS "Earned from Chests" added up together as well? If I make an achievement for the player being "earn 5o'ooo gold" for example, I want the gold from treasure chests to also count (just not whats gotten as Sold Items as its an obvious exploit).

Hi, thank you for your suggestions ❤️

The problem I ran into with the Variables is that for things like per-actor stats would start requiring a ton of variables to be set up as it would be 1 per actor per stat, and the enemies killed would be 1 per enemy, so I kind of scrapped the idea. You can use the plugin command or script calls to get the data into a variable when needed, if you need the value again you will have to keep using the script call or plugin command.

Looking at the documentation available, I see not all of them have script calls listed, you can get the enemies slain using the script:

$cgmz.calculateTotalExtraStat("individualEnemiesKilled")

and you can get the total death count using the script:

$cgmz.calculateTotalExtraStat("PAtimesDied")

Both of these seems to work! Thank you very much. I've placed them—alongside the rest—inside the (Battle) Common Event called after each encounters. The only solution I could come for treasure gold, was to make it so that EACH chest has a variable addition (no script) based off the 'Gold Looted' part of your ExtraStats plugin. For EXP, for the sake of making things easier, Ill just focus on my main character on that one.

So reasonably speaking, only the distinction of Weapons/Armor/Items bought isnt possible, as well as highest recorded DMG and total # of critical attacks dealt. You've basically got me most of what I wanted that I couldnt do on my own (and got me learning some more along the way). So once again, thank you. :) Happy with those as I wanted to replicate a DATA/PLAY ROOM of sort from one of my 2 favorite games.
