Weapons Change Class
Version: 1.0
Author: SeMcDun
Date: 2014.12.23

Version History

• <Version 1.0> 2014.12.23 - Completed

Planned Future Versions

• <Version 2.0> - Normally an actor can only use skills from the class they currently are. I'd like to add an option that allows an actor to select up to X skills to use in battle that they have learned from other classes.

Description

Weapon types and classes are linked.
If an actor equips a sword, their class changes to Swordsman.
If an actor equips a staff their class changes to mage.
Etc. etc.

Features

Simple class changing system.

Instructions

The weapon type id in the database has to be the same as the class id in the database.

I am not sure if scripts affecting skill learning would work alongside this.

Definitely one of the coolest aspects of FF14. I don't make games anymore, but if I did I'd use this script.
