Installation (quick)
Create a new Plugin (or place code in a Common Event if preferred). Add the Plugin code below (or paste into your plugin file). Create a Common Event named "Cheat Menu" and call it from a keypress or an event. Configure hotkey/visibility in the plugin parameters or call the Common Event from a debug-only switch.
Plugin Script (RPG Maker MV — ES6-style plugin) Copy into a new plugin file (e.g., CheatMenu.js) in your project's js/plugins folder and enable it in Plugin Manager. /*: * @plugindesc Universal Cheat Menu — quick debug/cheat utilities for testing (MV) * @author --- * @help * Call $gameTemp.reserveCommonEvent(CHEAT_COMMON_EVENT_ID) or set up a key to * trigger the common event that runs the menu.
