Author's Notes

If you only want certain Skill Items to work on certain actors I recommend Tons of Add Ons. Fantasist has an add on in there for actor specific items.

looks good.

im confused...idk wat to do...i want this this script tho it looks like it can add much stuff to the game

this part
module RPG
  class Item
    def skill
      case id
      # CONFIG use
      # when x return y
      # x = item id, y = skill id
      # when 2 then return 13
      # The above will make item id 2 make an actor learn the skill id of 13
      when 2 then return 13
      when 1 then return 1
      end
    end
  end
end

So right below the last commented line you would do this
when item_id(the item id in the database) then return skill id(the id in the database)

what it does is make items teach players skills. Its a feature from the RPG Maker 200/3 Engine.

cant you just do this with a common event on the item?
