[XP] Weapon Specific Skills

[Wizered67]

In order to do that you would have to do some editing so that it checks your shield instead of your weapon.

[Lanzer]

no, i tried everything it keeps me sending errors since i modded the weapons part for armor1, armor2 etc
besides the weapon database is only for weapon reading so i requested aqua to rework his addon =) to change the weapon for armor accessor

[Grogy]

hello, kinda retarded that this is a major necro post BUT
I've been searching for this kind of script, but that it works with armors, too (maybe by using the element defense things)
Anyway, thanks

[Imanton]

Seems it is does not work with "Tankentai Sideview Battle System: Actor Advanced Status" for custom slots. i would like to add separate slot for a bot but wont work, i know it works because i got it to work on a different project on the shield slot. oh, and the demo link went down.

This script is awesome but i wanted to know what would it take to change this so that instead of using a specific weapon can you make it so it's a specific Class
Example: Squire and Knights use swords but Squires can use First Aid and knights can use Break Helmet. you can only use the skill if you are that class.

[ThallionDarkshine]

Can't you set that up in the database by making a certain class learn a skill?

[gmaker808]

oops i forgot to say im using tons of add on - Equap SKill Script so if i put a skill on the sword any one equiping the sword can learn the skill i want to be able to specify.

[ThallionDarkshine]

Alright, I edited it for you. Just set the element efficiency of the class to anything other than C to allow that class to use the skill.

# Information
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
#   This script makes it so that some skills can only be used when a certain
#   weapon type is equipped.
#   For example, it shouldn't be possible to use a skill that shoots a bullet
#   when you're equipped with a sword.
#
#   Note: Should be compatible with all battle systems.
#
#   If you need to contact me about this script, please go to:

Hey, so, pretty far in the future now, not sure if you're still around, but I have a question. What about enemies? Enemies don't have weapons, so if I set a skill up to work with only certain weapons it means enemies can't use that skill. That kind of sucks because my game has enemies using all the same skills as the player for the most part. I guess I could make two copies of every skill, one for players and one for enemies, but that's very troublesome if stats needed to be altered. Is there a way to give all enemies access to all skills without this limitation?

[KK20]

Did you try adding the script in a project? Looking at the code, the logic is only being applied to Game Actors, not Game Enemies. Your concern shouldn't be an issue.

Yes, I tested it. Made a skill need an element and then gave an enemy only that skill and the enemy's turn just kept ending with nothing happening.

[KK20]

Worked for me on a new project.

You sure the enemy can naturally use the skill (e.g. has enough SP to satisfy the SP cost)? Remove the script from your project and confirm the enemy is still unable to use the skill.

Otherwise, will need your project files to investigate it further. Highly doubt it's a script compatibility issue; I think it's more of a database configuration issue.

[Jotari]

Opps. Yeah, the issue was just that the enemy I was testing with didn't have enough SP to use the skill in question. Sorry about that. Obvious in retrospect.
