[VXA-Trick] Automatic database set

WARNING:
This trick may requires some scripting skill.

Introduction:
for some of you who have a large database. Such as a hundred skills. It's look so boring if we have to do a same thing in those skill databases. For example we have to change hit type from certain hit to physical in id 3 until 30.

Tutorial:
Write a module for easier management

Code: [Select]

module LOAD

  PHYSICAL = 3..30

end

Then make an alias for load_database in module DataManager

Code: [Select]

module DataManager
 
  class << self
    alias automatic_load_db load_database
  end

  def self.load_database
    automatic_load_db
    load_skill_db
  end

  def self.load_skill_db
    group = $data_skills
    for id in LOAD::PHYSICAL
      group[id].hit_type = 1  # Change hit type to 1 (Physical)
    end
    save_data($data_skills, "Data/Skills.rvdata2")
  end

end


In this case, you have to run your game first. Then close the game and the editor. Finally, reopen your editor and see the database has been set by your machine 

This is just for an example. Make your own imagination to make your automatic load database.
