PLK_Discard&keep

When an NPC walks past, the discarded items will disappear.

Step	How to Use	Description
1	Set Toggle Key	You can change the key for toggling the Item List window by modifying the Toggle Key parameter in the Plugin Manager (default: r).
2	Toggle the Item List Window	Press the key set in Toggle Key to open or close the Item List window on the map.
3	Select the Item to Discard	When the window is open, click or press OK/Enter on the item you want to discard.
4	Choose the Quantity to Discard	After selecting an item, a window will appear to choose the quantity (use the ↑/↓ keys to adjust, then press OK/Enter to confirm).
5	Drag the Item to Discard	To discard immediately, you can drag the item outside the window or off-screen, which will discard one unit at a time.
6	Create Discarded Item	When an item is discarded, the system will create a discarded item on the ground by displaying its icon. This icon remains even if the player transfers to another map.
7	Retrieve the Discarded Item	When the player collides with the location of the discarded item's icon, the item is retrieved back into the inventory and the discarded item is removed.
8	Use Plugin Command	You can also open the Item List window via a Plugin Command by using the command openItemWindow in the Plugin Manager.

Tag Combination	Usage	Effect
No Tag (for Player)	(No tag required for the player.)	The player picks up a dropped item on collision, adding it to the inventory and removing the drop.
<CollectItem>	Attach to an NPC/event that should immediately collect the drop upon collision (without chasing).	The NPC/event instantly collects the drop when on the same tile.
<runItem>	Attach to an NPC/event that should chase dropped items.	The NPC/event will continuously chase the nearest dropped item but will not process it on collision by itself.
<runItem> + <CollectItem>	Attach both tags to an NPC/event.	The NPC/event will chase the drop and, upon reaching the same tile, collect it.
<DeleteItem>	Attach to an event (or NPC without <runItem>) that should immediately delete a drop upon collision (without collecting it).	When the event collides with a dropped item, the drop is immediately removed without being added to the inventory.
<runItem> + <DeleteItem>	Attach both tags to an NPC/event.	The NPC/event will chase the drop and, upon reaching the same tile, delete it.
<Deletenpc>	Attach this tag to an NPC/event if it should be removed urgently when colliding with a drop.	When an event with <Deletenpc> collides with a drop, it is erased immediately (its self-switch is set or it is removed via its erase function) and the drop is removed.
<OpenSwitchA>	Attach to an event if you want its self‑switch A to be turned on immediately when it collides with a drop (and the event does not also have <Deletenpc>).	When an event with <OpenSwitchA> collides with a drop, its self‑switch A is turned on immediately (via $gameSelfSwitches.setValue).
<OpenSwitchA> + <Deletenpc>	Attach both tags to an event if you want the self‑switch A to be activated first, and then the event to be erased.	When an event with both tags collides with a drop, its self‑switch A is turned on first, then the event is erased immediately, and the drop is removed.
<RunSpeed: X,Y>	Attach to an NPC with <runItem>. For example, <RunSpeed: 0.5,35> sets a delay of 35 frames between move commands.	The NPC will move only once every Y frames while chasing a drop (slowing down the chase). The first value (X) is available for further customization if needed.

Additional Notes:

• Player Behavior: The player always picks up dropped items on collision regardless of any NPC or event tags.
• Chasing vs. Immediate Action:
  • NPCs/events without <runItem> but with <CollectItem> or <DeleteItem> process the drop immediately upon collision.
  • NPCs with <runItem> will chase the drop; if combined with <CollectItem> they will collect it, or with <DeleteItem> they will delete it when reaching the drop.
  • An NPC with <runItem> alone will simply chase the drop without processing it.
• Event Removal vs. Switch Activation:
  • <Deletenpc> causes the event to be erased immediately.
  • <OpenSwitchA> causes the event’s self‑switch A to be turned on immediately.
  • If both are present, <OpenSwitchA> is triggered first, then <Deletenpc> erases the event.
• Customizing Chase Speed:
  • Use <RunSpeed: X,Y> to adjust the delay between moves (Y frames). Increase Y for a slower chase.

Place these tags in your event note fields in RPG Maker MZ to control interactions with dropped items. Adjust the values as needed for your project.
