Weapon Training System
Version: 1.00
Author: NAMKCOR
Date: April 06, 2008

Version History

• v1.00 - Completed System

Planned Future Versions

• v?.?? possible efficiency upgrades and bug fixes

Description

Think FF2 with this one.  Characters all have 'skill levels' with types of weapons that grant them bonuses with those types of weapons.  They gain experience every time they attack with the weapon, and each weapon skill level gives them bonus skill in determining attack damage, the accuracy, and the critical rate of that weapon type

Features

• Easy to configure bonus rates
• Easy to configure experience/level requirement
• Easy to configure default level values
• Uses weapon elements to make weapon categories a breeze

    # @exp_levels : how much experience is needed to reach the next level
    #----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    # this array functions quite simply, each element is a level, and the value in that
    # element is the amount of experience needed to reach that level.
    # so an array with values [15, 30, 45] would have 3 levels, level 1 needing 15xp
    # level 2 needing 30xp and level 3 needing 45xp

    #----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    # simply place the indexes of the elements you plan on using in the array below
    # a REMINDER that only the first numerical value of an element will be taken
    # into consideration.  So if you make a weapon with elements 17 and 20, only
    # element 17 will be taken into consideration.

Known Compatibility Issues

incompatible with RTAB, trying to figure out a merge or something

Author's Notes

This is my first foray back into scripting for a while, I'm glad it finally worked, and I hope y'all like it \o/

It looks very cool NAM, will try it out later.

[tSwitch]

crap, I forgot to remove the print lines in the script >.<
re-uploading now

[modern algebra]

By the way, I think you might need to update your links to chaos project. It's something like http://chaos-project.com/cpforum/index.php or something now.

[tSwitch]

the .co.nr still loaded for me the other day, I'll find the new link and update it

also, topic updated ;-;

edit: I'm working on making the system RTAB compatible, please bear with me

[Shadow Eye]

I've been searching for something like this for a while! And now, I have a question: Is there a way to make certain weapons require a certain level of mastery using this script? Like in Fire Emblem, fora swordsman to use certain swords, they need to have a certain level of mastery.

[tSwitch]

I'm working on a version of my equipment requirement system that allows for weapon level requirement, so I'll PM you when that's done and added

Sorry if this is considered necro-posting ._.

    #==============================================================
    $WTSelements = [17, 18, 19, 20]

So if I get things right... The elements are the fire, water, vs beasts, etc, right? And there needs to be one element per weapon type, right? And they'd have to be the first elements, otherwise if I make a weapon that has both element fire (1) and sword (16), it wouldn't even register that it was a sword, and therefore not take the exp system into account?
Or have I misunderstood stuff?

Edit: I check in now and then, NAMKCOR ^^;  Thanks for answering my question =D You're made of awesomesauce!
*edits post to avoid necroposting with a thankyou*

[tSwitch]

wow, I don't think the person that asked is here to see this but, that explanation was about weapon types only.  If you try to make a sword/spear it won't work, but if you wanted to make a fire/sword it should, because fire isn't in the weapons type array.
