Equip Skill System

Equip Skill System v1.46 by Moogle_X Introduction This plugin adds equip skill mechanic to all actors. Each time an actor learn a new skill, that skill will be added to his/her "Skill Pool". That actor can access all the skills in their Skill Pool and equip some of those skills into their "Skill Slots". All actors can only use the skills equipped in their own Skill Slots. Also, only those equipped skills will show up in their battle skill window. Features - Customize actor's maximum Skill Slots and Equip Limit using notetags. - Equip skills using custom scene or plugin command. - Increase actor's Skill Slots and Equip Limit using multiple methods (traits, equipment, item effect, plugin command). - Make each skill has different Equip Cost. - Make exception on some skills. Those skills doesn't need to be equip first before they can be used. - Hide equip skill menu for certain actor/class. - Now, this plugin supports multiple "Slot Types". - Prevent some skills to be equipped when certain skill is already equipped. - Now, this plugin supports "Party Based Skill Pool". - Limit skill equip options based on class/subclass. How to Use Spoiler Spoiler Equip Skill System v1.4 introduces "Slot Types" functionality. Each skill is assigned to a specific Slot Type. This will limit the Skill Slot "location" where a skill can be equipped. A skill with Slot Type 1 can only be equipped to Skill Slot with the same Slot Type. There are 31 different Slot Types available in this plugin. Slot Type starts from Type 0 and continue all the way to Type 30. Type 1 to Type 30 have name and color parameters that you can customize in the plugin. Spoiler The space between the Slot Type's name and the Skill's name can be adjusted in "Slot Type Name Rectangle Width". Spoiler Spoiler Type 0 is a special case. It doesn't have name and color setting. This is the default Slot Type for all skills. Skills with Slot Type 0 will be shown differently in the Equip Skill scene. Spoiler Spoiler Use Slot Type 0 for all skills if you don't plan to use multiple Slot Types functionality. The rest of Actors and Skills setup can be found in the Help file. Compatibility This plugin is compatible with my Passive Skill plugin. Just position that plugin below Equip Skill System plugin. If you use YEP_SkillLearnSystem, please install Moogle_X_EQS_SkillLearnPatch plugin (included in the rar file). Position the patch below both Moogle_X_EquipSkillSystem and YEP_SkillLearnSystem plugins. If you use YEP_AutoPassiveStates, position this plugin below it. UPDATE: Yanfly JP Add-On Spoiler Spoiler A simple compatibility patch for Yanfly's Job Points plugin. This will replace actor's Equip Limit parameter with their JP total. You must put this plugin below both "Moogle_X_EquipSkillSystem" and "YEP_JobPoints". You can get the plugin here. Some screenshots: Spoiler Terms of Use Free to use in both commercial and non-commercial project as long as credit is given. Simply credit me as "Moogle_X" in your in-game credit.

Any chance on getting a way to increase skill slots and limit based on actor level? Or even a way to increase it with script calls?

Hi guys, to increase skill slots based on level and/or actors is in the note tag commands. I use this plugin and it's awesome!!

Ya that's how I'm doing it at the moment it's just a pain to write 40+ tags for both, for each actor, I'll look at the script later though see if there's a script command to do it though thanks anyways.

Is there a way to disable this for certain actors or classes, to hide an empty skill tab?

You mean the code snippet only apply to certain actor/class?

Yes, certainly. But, I need to know which one are they.

Or maybe you prefer I turn the code snippet into a standalone plugin on its own, with its own configuration setting?

(I think?) this is different from the snippet you sent me, which is working fine. I meant having Equip Skills disabled for certain actors or classes.

Thanks to <EQS Ignore>, I've limited which skills are "equipped" to certain skill types which are not available to all classes. But currently EQS will still show up for those classes, despite having no content.

Oh, I get it. I assume you mean that in Skill Menu scene, only certain actor/class have "access" to Equip Skill command?

Like, you want the "Equip" section to be hidden for certain actor/class (even though technically they are still affected by EQS "rule" if their skills doesn't have <EQS Ignore>).

If so, I will add this feature in the next update (along with Slot Types/Skill Tiers functionality).

Probably done in around 3-4 days, I guess. :D

Wow, this looks awesome. I don't really have a project to use it in right now, but I'm sure I will someday soon.

For one, this is a great help for making a SaGa Frontier-like ability system...(at least part of it)

Finally, the plugin update is done! Sorry guys if it took forever to finish the update. :(

I shouldn't procrastinate too much... :p

Anyway, the plugin now supports multiple Slot Types!

Spoiler
You can also hide the Equip Skill menu from certain Actor/Class by using notetag. Combined with <EQS Ignore> you can make this plugin to work "exclusively" on certain Actor/Class to make them sort of "unique".

Also, if you use the JP Compatibility Add-On, please update it to latest version as well.

Let me be the first to say thanks, I've been camping this post daily eagerly awaiting this next version! Much love :)

Might have an error or conflict with something, the contents of the equip panel and learned panel have vanished on me.

Currently doublechecking with a fresh project

Really enjoying the ability to create different grades of skill equips, one small idea, can we link an icon in anyway to the Slot Type name?

This is with a fresh project:

What am I missing?

@Kest

I can only make a guess here. It's probably because in this version, there is no default value for Actor's max slots (unlike the previous version).

That means if you don't define the Actor's Maximum Skill Slots with notetags, the Actor will have no Skill Slots available.

Try adding this notetag to the actor and see if it fix the issue. :)

<EQS Max Slots 0 Level 1 to 99: 5>

@Drackomordain

Hmm... Does it mean adding an icon just to left of Slot Type Name?

Like this?

[icon] White Magic [icon] Heal

Or, does it mean replacing the entire Slot Type Name with an icon like this?

[icon] [icon] Heal

Looks like this did the trick. I didn't realize that was necessary.

[icon] White Magic [icon] Heal

This was what I was thinking.

I made a quick test with Slot Type Icon. The end result will end up look like this.

Spoiler
Not sure what everyone else is thinking, but I "personally" feel slightly uncomfortable seeing 2 icons show up in same line.

But, if I will gladly add this Slot Type Icon feature (with ON/OFF option) in the next version if everyone request it.

I'm with you on this. Looks very weird. And from a uniformity standpoint, it won't mesh well with the other menus.

By the way, FANTASTIC job on the newest update. This plugin flew under the radar for me after the initial release because I wanted a Slot type system from the beginning. So thank you very much for this.

For the Equip Type Icon maybe you could only show the icon and name when there isn't a skill equipped, once there's a skill equipped the icon and the name could disappear, it might look better, what do you think?

Hey also you use

DataManager.isDatabaseLoadedAnd it often gets called multiple times, by other people and plugins. You should probably add some kind of protection so that doesn't happen.

So I wrote up a fix:

Spoiler

Code:

Moogle_X.EQS.DatabaseLoaded = false;Moogle_X.EQS.DataManager_isDatabaseLoaded = DataManager.isDatabaseLoaded;DataManager.isDatabaseLoaded = function() {    if (!Moogle_X.EQS.DataManager_isDatabaseLoaded.call(this)) return false;	if (!Moogle_X.EQS.DatabaseLoaded) {		DataManager.readNotetags_EQS1($dataActors);		DataManager.readNotetags_EQS2($dataActors);		DataManager.readNotetags_EQS2($dataClasses);		DataManager.readNotetags_EQS2($dataWeapons);		DataManager.readNotetags_EQS2($dataArmors);		DataManager.readNotetags_EQS2($dataStates);		DataManager.readNotetags_EQS3($dataSkills);		DataManager.readNotetags_EQS4($dataItems);		DataManager.readNotetags_EQS4($dataSkills);		DataManager.readNotetags_EQS5($dataActors);		DataManager.readNotetags_EQS5($dataClasses);		Moogle_X.EQS.DatabaseLoaded = true;	}    	return true;};
