Categorized Skills Script?

[dvkrane]

Could someone point me in the right direction? I need a categorized skill window, or even better, a skill window that only shows skills of a certain element. I'm okay when it comes to scripting but I'm sure if someone explained how to do it, I could get it done. I've looked at the script for albertfish's Categorized Items Menu and it somewhat accomplishes what I'm looking for, except I need it for skills. Could someone help me?

You should know that the proper edits are to be done in the Window_Skill class. The actual drawing of the skill names and such occurs under the method refresh:

    @data = []
    for i in 0...@actor.skills.size
      skill = $data_skills[@actor.skills[i]]
      if skill != nil
        @data.push(skill)
      end
    end

You can use the method element_set to see the array of elements the skill uses. It's then a matter of checking what elements you want to display using include?.

    @data = []
    for i in 0...@actor.skills.size
      skill = $data_skills[@actor.skills[i]]
      if skill != nil and skill.element_set.include?(1) #=> If the skill contains the element 'Fire'
        @data.push(skill)
      end
    end

As for determining what elements you want to display each time, you should create an instance variable (such as @element_to_display) that you can access to change its value. Just be sure to call refresh again.

def initialize(actor)
  ...
  @element_to_display = 0 #=> A value of zero means it will draw all learned skills regardless of element
  ...
end
def refresh
  ...
    @data = []
    for i in 0...@actor.skills.size
      skill = $data_skills[@actor.skills[i]]
      if skill != nil and (@element_to_display == 0 or skill.element_set.include?(@element_to_display))
        @data.push(skill)
      end
    end
  ...
end
def element_to_display=(value)
  return if @element_to_display == value
  @element_to_display = value
  refresh
end

Or just use Skill Separation System from Tons of Add-ons.
