Zones Overview
This page covers the new UI Elements that are added to the Battle Screen by MYTH_CGC_CoreEngine.
A Zone is a place that cards can move to/from during combat. There are 3 default Zones that all projects must have. There is overlap in their behavior, but each one works slightly differently.
- Hand
- Deck
- Discard
Beyond those three, you can add extra Zones through plugin parameters.
Hand
This is the fan of Cards the active Actor has access to. The player can play any Card in the Hand as long as they meet all the necessary requirements.
The Hand behaves differently from every other Zone in that the Cards are spread out so the player can see them all at once. The parameters for the Hand are as follows:
| Center Coordinates | A set of X/Y values that set the center of the hand. Recommend placing this in the center of RPGM's window width and at the bottom of the screen. |
| Selected Card Y Offset | The number of pixels the currently selected card will raise above the rest of the hand |
| Discarding Card Y Offset | The number of pixels a card will be raised if it is chosen to be discarded. |
| Inactive Hand Y Offset | The number of pixels all cards will be lowered if the player cannot currently select cards. |
| Max Hand Width | The max horizontal space the hand can take up. |
| Min Card Separation W | The minimum space in pixels between cards until the max width would otherwise be reached. |
| Card Rotation Multiplier | Cards will rotate the farther they are from the hand. This adds a multiplier to that amount to increase or decrease that rotation. |
| Card Height Multiplier | Card height changes depending on their distance from the center of the hand. This adds a multiplier to that amount to increase or decrease that height. |
| Card Enter SFX | The SE that will play when a Card enters the Hand. |
| Card Enter SFX | The SE that will play when a Card exits the Hand. |

Deck
This is where all Cards are at the start of battle by default.
