Dual Wield Separate Attacks
Version: 1.0
Author: Lytanathan
Date: May 25, 2012
Version History
- <Version 1.0> 2012.05.25 - Original Release
Planned Future Versions
- <Version 1.1> Compatibility with various weapon formula changing scripts
Description
When a character is wielding more than one weapon, perform an attack for each weapon equipped, using only that stats of that weapon and not the others.
Features
- Attack once using each weapon equipped, one at a time.
- This prevents weapons with different attributes from sharing attributes with each other (like elemental attributes, improved accuracy, critical rates, states added, etc.
- It also gives you multiple chances for critical hits, states applied, etc., as long as each weapon has a chance for those things. (An Iron sword and a Sleep sword would only have a chance of inflicting Sleep once, but both could result in a critical hit)
Instructions
- Insert above Main.
- Place any skills that are attack skills inside the array ATTACK_SKILL_IDS. That is all.

# Dual Wield Separate Attacks by Lytanathan
#
# When a character is wielding more than one weapon, perform an attack for
# each weapon equipped, using only that stats of that weapon and not the
# others.
#
# Instructions: Place any skills that are attack skills inside the array
# ATTACK_SKILL_IDS found below. That is all.
#
# Is (as far as I can tell) compatible with Yanfly's Ace Equip Engine.
#
# So far, partially compatible with Yanfly's and Victor Sant's scripts for
# changing the attack formula of the equipped weapon. (Or rather, those scripts
# work as they are supposed to, but both weapons end up using the same formula.
# If both weapons HAVE the same formula then it everything is good, but if not
# then the slot 1 weapon's formula overrides the slot 2 formula)
# I am working on this, but I am not a very good scripter and I am not very
# confident I will be able to fix it. It took me nearly 24 total hours of coding
# just to come up with the single function you see below here.

- Final Fantasy 6, Tactics, and possibly some others for inspiring the script.
Support
You can contact me on this forum, but don't expect me to be much help. I am not a good scripter, and will likely not be able to do much. But I will try my best if you're stuck.
Known Compatibility Issues
Technically partially works with both Yanfly's Weapon Attack Replace and Victor Sant's Custom Basic Actions scripts, except that it uses the slot 1 weapon attack skill for all of a character's equipped weapons, even if they use different ones. Which, unfortunately, was half of what I wanted to fix by making this to begin with.
Author's Notes
Inspired by the Final Fantasy series, or at least 6 and Tactics, where if a character is
dual wielding they actually do get two separate attacks with each weapon.
