🪽 Hover / Floating Movement
Characters can rise above the ground with smooth idle bobbing and optional shadows. Hover can unlock at the same time as aura glow or later in the progression path.

📈 Staged Level Progression
Build level bands with different aura colors, hover states, aura intensity, and particle effects. Example: red glow at levels 10 to 20, white glow at 21 to 31, hover from 40+, then green glow with a new particle style at 100+.

🎛️ User-Friendly Plugin Manager Setup
The staged effect system uses structured plugin parameters with dropdowns and toggles, so you do not need to type raw configuration text for normal use.

🧩 What This Plugin Does
ED5_CharacterProgression combines two powerful systems into one plugin:
1. Visual Level Progression: actors gain aura glow and floating/hovering effects as they level up.
2. Player-Driven Stat Growth: actors earn points each level and can invest them into parameters like ATK, DEF, AGI, MHP, and more.
Use it for RPGs, action RPGs, MMO-style progression, magical transformations, class awakenings, divine blessings, spirit ascension systems, or any project where leveling up should feel visible and impactful.

⚙️ Staged Effect Example
A sample progression path you can build directly in the plugin manager:
| Stage | Levels | Aura | Hover | Particles |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stage 1 | 10 - 20 | Red glow | Off | Orbit |
| Stage 2 | 21 - 31 | White glow | Off | Sparkle |
| Stage 3 | 40+ | None | On | None |
| Stage 4 | 100+ | Green glow | On | Embers |
Fallback Support: if you leave the structured stage list empty, the plugin still supports the old Aura Level Threshold and Float Level Threshold settings.
🏷️ Actor Notetags
Use actor note tags to customize or restrict progression effects per actor:
<AuraColor:#ff00ff> — Override aura color for this actor
<AuraIntensity:25> — Override aura intensity
<NoAura> — This actor never gains aura glow
<NoFloat> — This actor never gains hover/floating
<AuraIntensity:25> — Override aura intensity
<NoAura> — This actor never gains aura glow
<NoFloat> — This actor never gains hover/floating
🎮 Stat Distribution System
Each actor earns stat points on level-up. Those points can be invested into configurable stats such as:
MHP, MMP, ATK, DEF, MAT, MDF, AGI, and LUK
You control:
• how many points are earned per level
• which stats appear in the screen
• how much each invested point adds
• the max points allowed per stat

You control:
• how many points are earned per level
• which stats appear in the screen
• how much each invested point adds
• the max points allowed per stat
The included stat screen uses a modern HTML/CSS overlay instead of a bitmap-heavy window, making it ideal for polished RPG UI setups. Players can open it from the menu or via plugin command.
