[Request] Guard => Skill

[edumazieri]

I know a little bit of scripting by now, but i just can't seem to find how to do this.

Well i use Tankentai, and ive been tryin to follow the script up to how it selects and executes a skill but it goes through so many modules that i get lost lol

Basically i just want a code that i can put on my " def execute_action_guard " that starts the action of using the skill id of X. It doesn't even need to go to the targetting, it will be a self target skill, but it can have, it'll just point to the self guy anyway.

I believe assigning the guard command of that specific character to a skill is the way to go.

I could also, maybe, modify his guard to play an animation on him, and add a state (which is what my skill will do). But i think finding out how to make a command that gets the actor to execute a certain skill will help me in future things as well.


Please, help?

EDIT: This is my execute_action_guard. it has a comment of interest.
