Instructions

   Paste this script above Main and below Materials in the Script Editor.
  To change the actor options in game, merely use a call script and write this code:

         change_actor_options (actor ID, option ID, value)

  where: actor ID - the ID of the actor whose options you want to change
         option ID - the ID of the option you want to change, as follows -
           0 => Two Swords Style
           1 => Fix Equipment
           2 => Auto Battle
           3 => Super Guard
           4 => Pharmacology
           5 => Critical Bonus
         value - true or false; whether you want the actor to have the  ability or not. So true means the actor will
                      have the ability and false will mean the actor will not have the ability. If you leave value empty, it will
                      toggle the ability - if it's on, it will turn off - if it's off it will turn on.

 Examples:

  change_actor_options (1, 2, true)  ## Actor 1 - Auto Battle Turned ON
  change_actor_options (6, 0, false) ## Actor 6 - Two Swords Style turned OFF
  change_actor_options (3, 4)        ## Actor 3 - Phamacology toggled

Thanks

• Starfyre - for the request

Support

Please post in this topic for the swiftest response. I will provide any bug support, and if you have any suggestions to improve this script, I will certainly listen to them even if I do not act upon them.

Known Compatibility Issues

No known compatibility issues, though a script that changes how critical bonuses are calculated will interfere with this script.

Description

<Describe the script. Say what it does and what purpose it serves>

I like this. I saw Star's request, you really pounded this out really fast. Nice work

[modern algebra]

  Fixed.

Yeah, it was a very easy script to write.

[Kebin]

This is awesome. Thanks and great work.

Whats script for how you choose your name?
If you don't mind me asking, 
Thanks,

What are you talking about? What has that to do with this topic?

It sounds like you're asking how to get a player choose their own name, in which case you don't need a script, you just need to look at your event command list and see that there is a command on the third page that does exactly that.

Sorry for being in the wrong place, just this Topic made me think about it :p
Thank you.
