I can help if you have questions, however I just started back at school so I am extremely busy and am at school most of the day (about 15-16 hours a day :|) so I don't have a lot of extra time. But I'll be on the forum if you have and questions, and I am sure others can help too!

Did you read my comments? At this point:
Code: [Select]
SKILL_DATA.push("Fire", 0)          # This is the first skill displayed
SKILL_DATA.push("Sexiness", 100)    # This is the second skill displayed
SKILL_DATA.push("Stealth", 5)       # etc. Keep following the pattern
SKILL_DATA.push("Cooking", 10)      # to add more skills.

You add all the skills you want and set the default starting value.

Code: [Select]
SKILL_DATA.push("Skill 1", 0)
SKILL_DATA.push("Skill 2", 0)
SKILL_DATA.push("Skill 3", 0)
SKILL_DATA.push("Skill 4", 0)
SKILL_DATA.push("Skill 5", 0)
SKILL_DATA.push("Skill 6", 0)
SKILL_DATA.push("Skill 7", 0)
SKILL_DATA.push("Skill 8", 0)

It's pretty straight forward :P.

Question? would it be possible to adjust the skill amounts through and event?
reason? because I'm making a game that use only one character but you Can choose from three and i wanted to edit this for each like character 1 has 50 sexiness and character 2 has only 25, and so on would this be possible?
Orr....
by actor id
to give individual actors unique skills

Hey, that's a good idea. I'll work on something so that you can edit the skills for each character separately. It may take a bit of time since my exams are right around the corner.

NICE work, just pluged it in over the old and works like a charm, there was a slight lag when i leveled up but that could be because of the virus scan im doing since i found out that my glary's utilities was infected... ahh well
GREAT work this script is practicly my game you'll be sure to get FULL credit for your hard work...

[edit] - The lag was because of when the player leved up ABS would play a ME to notify the player, i turned that off and now NO lag....

[edit 2] - If youd like perhaps you can make a way to show a discription of the skill you select so the player knows what its used for "not particularly needed" but if youd like to make further improvements perhaps this could be an idea...

Hae albertfish, im using your script and it great but I had one problem... for some reason when i called the window there would be no writing present, like the skills would not be listed, I fixed it (surprisingly) but to do that i had to go passed the point where i shudn't change anything unless i knew what I was doing and i had no idea lol and very time i came across this message: self.contents = Bitmap.new (width - 32, @item_max * 32) (for example) I would have to add: self.contents.font.name = $defaultfonttype and self.contents.font.size = $defaultfontsize, um i do not think that i did anything wrong when downloading i so could you plez tell me why I needed to do this?

Well, this script works perfectly fine for me which means that the script it self is working. Are you using other scripts? If so, there may be a conflict that could be causing the problem.

The only things that really come to mind is maybe you are using a script that edits the Window_Base or Window_Selectable classes, which could effect how the window is drawn.

Would you be able to tell me if you are running other scripts, and if so which ones?

Yep i've got a hp, mp and exp bar script and double weapon script... The hp, mp and exp bar script edits the window so that is probably my problem.
