RPG Maker MZ Plugin: CT Aggro & Threat System — Tank, Taunt & Enemy Targeting Control

What Is CT_Aggro & ThreatSystem?

CT_ThreatSystem adds a real MMO-style aggro system to RPG Maker MZ.

Enemies no longer attack randomly.

They attack whoever generates the most threat.

This allows proper tank, DPS, and healer roles, predictable enemy behavior, and deeper combat design — without rewriting RPG Maker’s battle engine.

Core Features

• Enemy-owned threat system

• Threat stored per enemy, per actor

• No threat decay (stable & deterministic)

• True taunt and AoE taunt mechanics

• Enemy taunt immunity support

• Visual threat indicators near actors & enemies

• Live hover-based threat inspector (debug & balance tool)

• Side-view battle compatible

Threat Rules (Simple & Predictable)

• All skills generate base threat (hit or miss)

• Damage and healing generate additional threat

• Healing generates threat to ALL enemies

• Enemy always targets the actor with highest threat

No RNG. No guessing. No fake aggro.

Skill & Enemy Notetags

Skill Notetags

<ThreatPts:X> // Add or subtract threat <Taunt> // Taunt affected enemies for 1 turn <TauntAll> // Taunt ALL enemies for 1 turn

Enemy Notetag

<ImmuneTaunt> // Enemy cannot be taunted

Perfect for bosses, elites, and scripted encounters.

Live Threat Inspector

Hover your mouse over an enemy during battle to see:

• Current threat values

• Which actor is tanking

• Real-time updates

This doubles as a developer debugging tool.
