Advanced Shop Plugin MZ

Advanced Shop MZ is a feature-rich RPG Maker MZ plugin that transforms basic shops into fully dynamic merchant systems.

✔ Track per-item quantity
✔ Merchant gold limits (merchants can run out of gold)
✔ Auto-restock over time
✔ Manual restock via plugin command
✔ Global and local shop support
✔ Comment-tag support for fast setup (no plugin commands needed!)
✔ Full integration with default shop scene
✔ JS utility functions for advanced control

Ideal for devs who want smarter economy systems without overcomplicating the shop flow. Designed for readability, extensibility, and performance.

Core Features

• Merchant Gold: Set how much money a shop has. If the merchant runs out of gold, the player can’t sell items to them until restock.

• Stock Tracking: Limit how many of each item a shop has. Items can be sold out or set to unlimited.

• Auto-Restock: Let shops restock automatically after X seconds of playtime.

• Custom Pricing: Set different prices per item, or use database defaults.

• Comment Tag Setup: Just add a few tags before a “Shop Processing” event and the shop becomes advanced instantly

◆ Comment: <Advanced Shop: VillageGeneralStore>
◆ Comment: <Merchant Gold: 500>
◆ Comment: <Auto Restock: 900>
◆ Shop Processing: Potion, Potion, Short Sword 

This will:

• Create a local shop tied to this event

• Track gold (starts at 500)

• Set 2x Potion, 1x Short Sword

• Restock everything every 900 seconds

Plugin Commands

Use plugin commands to:

• Create advanced shops manually

• Restock specific items (fully, partially, randomly)

• Get/set merchant gold

• Add/remove items

• Track stock of specific items

• Call global shops declared in plugin parameters

More Control

You also get clean JS utility functions like:

$readShop(mapId, eventId, shopName)
$setShopItemQuantity(mapId, eventId, shopName, item, quantity)
$getMerchantGold(mapId, eventId, shopName)

Use them in script calls, conditional branches, custom UI logic — anything.
