Skill Learning Script

[magic2345]

Do someone know any good skill learning scripts that is very easy to use and not very complicated and compatible with the SDK and is not in download form?

[modern algebra]

What type of skill learning script are you looking for? Skill shop? Learning through use?

[magic2345]

I'm looking for the one that needs AP to learn, like in Final Fantasy IX/9

If a character equips a weapon or armor the skill can be used,
but when the character unequip the weapon or armor, the skill can't be used,
to learn that particular skill, you have to equip the weapon or armor and kill enemies to get AP. Every skill needs at least some AP so that it can be learned and used even if the character doesn't equip the weapon or armor.

Thanks in advance and sorry for the bad english.

Thats not what I'm looking for...I need it so that when the charcter has enough AP, he still can use the skill even if he doesn't equip it anymore....Like in FFTA or FFIX (as mentioned above)

Thanks anyway,

[kathis]

you could contact blizzard about this he might have some information on it.

SephirothSpawn has made exactly such a script. It's called Equipment Skills, you can find it on http://hbgames.org/forums

Hey, Thanks! I found it!
But I have a question for those that are an expert scripters. THe instructions said that the code for calling the AP equip screen is: $scene = Scene_Set_Ability.new(ActorID)
The question is...Where do I put it? Do I need to edit the scene_title or something?

The script is:

# Ability System
# By Momomo
#
# Calling ability, it equips and/or removes skill
# and/or we would like to see mono is
# Setting AP, consuming that, you attach and it
# reaching the point where you can remove, you increase.
# Only the ability which is in the midst of equipping,
# is regarded acquisition skill
#
# Event Command
# $scene = Scene_Set_Ability.new(ActorID)
# So, it moves to the equipment scene
#
# When we would like to make equip mandatorily
# in the event and the like, in "event command"
# $game_actors[ActorID].equip_ability(SkillID)
# When with it inputs, it becomes a state where it is equipped
# Furthermore, this time ignoring AP, it is equipped mandatorily
# When the skill which you have not remembered is appointed
# However it is not recorded before the equipment picture, it
# becomes to have equipped
# To forget:
# $game_actors[ActorID].remove_ability(SkillID)
#
#
# By the way with the largest AP decrease by the decrease of level
# Doing, increase the processing when entire AP which is in the midst
# of equipping exceeds maximum AP it is. (-3/16 it is indicated)

There is an event command called "Call script". Type this text in there and it will be excuted during that event.

[magic2345]

I knew that...but I wanted so that it is on the Menu. When I select skill it goes to the AP equip screen...I know something in the scripts have to be changed but I'm not a scripter as scripts are very confusing.....

Thanks,

[Blizzard]

Ah, I see. That's quite simple.

http://rmrk.net/index.php/topic,7193.0.html

Read the part that under 6. a).

[magic2345]

Nope, doesn't work....hey...maybe its not supposed to be used in the script, maybe its supposed to be used in the events section... What if I make an item that transfers it to the screen! Using common events!....Trying.....Well, its hard.....
Maybe someone can help me? I tried and ended up putting too much Conditional Branches....
Can some do it so that if only the main hero(actor 1) is in the party, it automaticaly goes to his AP equip screen. If there are two heroes in the party, it shows up a choice between those two. If there are three heroes, it shows up between the three. BUT, if the second hero left and only the main and third hero, the choice is between the two, the second hero excluded.
I know its supposed to use tons of conditional branches, but if anyone know a better and easier way, by all means tell me.

Thanks,

[Irgna]

I can do it, but I have to replace another option in the main menu to do so, will that be good?

[magic2345]

Huh, replace? Sure!

Thanks,

[Irgna]

Oh, crap... I can't do it after all, it requires me to do something I haven't learned yet... Sorry...

[modern algebra]

SO all you want is to add the option to open that script in the menu? Are you using default menu or a CMS?

For default, it is just a matter of going into scene_menu and adding a few things.

Note:

Code Select Expand

    s1 = $data_system.words.item
    s2 = $data_system.words.skill
    s3 = $data_system.words.equip
    s4 = "Status"
    s5 = "Save"
    s6 = "End Game"

To add another option, just make an s7 = "Equipment Skills" or something, then change this line:

Code Select Expand

    @command_window = Window_Command.new(160, [s1, s2, s3, s4, s5, s6])
to this:

Code Select Expand

    @command_window = Window_Command.new(160, [s1, s2, s3, s4, s5, s6, s7])

And then you have to set what the option does, so go down the script until you find this:

Code Select Expand

      case @command_window.index
      when 0  # item
        # Play decision SE
        $game_system.se_play($data_system.decision_se)
        # Switch to item screen
        $scene = Scene_Item.new
      when 1  # skill
        # Play decision SE
        $game_system.se_play($data_system.decision_se)
        # Make status window active
        @command_window.active = false
        @status_window.active = true
        @status_window.index = 0
      when 2  # equipment
        # Play decision SE
        $game_system.se_play($data_system.decision_se)
        # Make status window active
        @command_window.active = false
        @status_window.active = true
        @status_window.index = 0
      when 3  # status
        # Play decision SE
        $game_system.se_play($data_system.decision_se)
        # Make status window active
        @command_window.active = false
        @status_window.active = true
        @status_window.index = 0
      when 4  # save
        # If saving is forbidden
        if $game_system.save_disabled
          # Play buzzer SE
          $game_system.se_play($data_system.buzzer_se)
          return
        end
        # Play decision SE
        $game_system.se_play($data_system.decision_se)
        # Switch to save screen
        $scene = Scene_Save.new
      when 5  # end game
        # Play decision SE
        $game_system.se_play($data_system.decision_se)
        # Switch to end game screen
        $scene = Scene_End.new

and then add:

Code Select Expand

      when 6   #equipment skills
        #Play decision SE
        $game_system.se_play($data_system.decision_se)
        #Make status Window Active
        @command_window.active = false
        @status_window.active = true
        @status_window.index = 0

Then go down the code and find:

Code Select Expand

      case @command_window.index
      when 1  # skill
        # If this actor's action limit is 2 or more
        if $game_party.actors[@status_window.index].restriction >= 2
          # Play buzzer SE
          $game_system.se_play($data_system.buzzer_se)
          return
        end
        # Play decision SE
        $game_system.se_play($data_system.decision_se)
        # Switch to skill screen
        $scene = Scene_Skill.new(@status_window.index)
      when 2  # equipment
        # Play decision SE
        $game_system.se_play($data_system.decision_se)
        # Switch to equipment screen
        $scene = Scene_Equip.new(@status_window.index)
      when 3  # status
        # Play decision SE
        $game_system.se_play($data_system.decision_se)
        # Switch to status screen
        $scene = Scene_Status.new(@status_window.index)

and then add:

Code Select Expand

      when 6  # equipment skills
        # Play decision SE
        $game_system.se_play($data_system.decision_se)
        # Switch to equipment screen
        $scene = Scene_Set_Ability.new(@status_window.index)

That should add in the option to access that script from the menu. I just did it quick so there might be errors, but generally that's how you add in options. You'll probably need to resize some windows as well.

Hey, thanks, I needed to know how to do that kind of stuff and was about to make a post asking how to do that.

Yay! It works!! But I need to do it in another project....maybe a script in my project is overriding it....anyways, can you tell me how to resize windows and stuff?

Thanks,
