Hello guys.
I'm making my first rgss script but I still have some questions.
It is supposed to be a chain skill system, you press four or less buttons in an order and then it unleashes the skill.
I dont know yet how to unleash the skill so I put print commands instead to test it.
Warning:
this is my first ever script so I know that there's probably a lot wrong and it could be done much simpler, but show some support.
Any ideas on how to improve it are deeply appreciated.

First question:
I tried to find out how to unleash a skill but I cant seem to figure out how to.
Second question:
In the code you see that I have 4 images that need to pop up, though, when the skill is used, I want those images te be cleared.
Now, this wont work, it gives me an error and says that it cant find the .clear module for @Button_Icon_One.
So, I guess that it doesnt know what the variable is but I still dont understand.
Force game player to use a skill:
s = $data_skills[id]
$game_player.use_skill(s, true)
Remove 'true' if you don't want the skill to be forced.
Try 'dispose' instead of 'clear'.
