Either I'm just stupid or I'm just stupid, I have been starring at the script for a good 10mins and i still don't know what to edit.

Please advise.

Please advise.
1. ACTOR_ATTACK_SKILL_ID = { 1 => 1,
2. 2 => 1,
3. 3 => 1,
4. }
Actor 1 uses Skill ID 1 when choosing Attack command. Change the skill ID to the skill of your choice.

Actor 2 => Skill ID

Actor 3 => Skill ID

Feel free to add an extra 4 => "Skill ID," before the ending bracket on a next line if you need to add more actors.

Same goes for
1. ACTOR_GUARD_SKILL_ID = { 1 => 2,
2. 2 => 2,
3. 3 => 2,
4. }
It's like the first thing in the script after the commented section. For future reference most scripts have their editable regions come first, immediately after the commented sections/instructions.

ok got it to work now.

now my next question is how do I change the name for each individual character, or is there another thread that has this answer?

Thanks again

...You just do that through the Actor tab of the database?

Or there's an event to change Actor Name whenever you want. (for mid-game purposes or something)

sorry I meant for the skills themselves
So instead of attack it would be Air Blade

This is quite an old thread, but I'll try my luck.

Your script states, that you can change the default attack for not just an actor, but weapons/armor as well. Could you give a brief explanation as to how I could do that, that would be nice. A certain weapon having it's own default attack would solve most of my problems I'm having with my battle system.
I can't understand this code and trailing and erroring didn't get me very far.

Thanks!

I'm actually using an older version, but how I read the updated script it would be like this:

First decide what attack you want to give it. For the sake of this example, we will say that you create a new skill in slot 73 (for example, it might add Fire to the attack)
Make sure you have the damage formula you want as well plus any features you want, TP/MP cost etc. etc.

Now go to your weapon tab and select the sword that you want to have this attack.
In the note box type
<Attack_Id 73>

If you want another weapon to have a different attack, create a new one - let's assume it's the next slot down, i.e. slot 74.
In the new weapon's note box you type
<Attack_Id 74>

There we go, now we got it! I was using the new script as well, but also the old instructions.

Thanks a bunch, probably wouldn't have figured it out without you!

Hello, regarding this script, is it reasonably possible to also have it check the note text of skills? I'd like to be able to change the guard command on level up, preferably more than once.

Sorry for the necro, thanks in advance

@Shoal Necroposting in threads for things like scripts, which may need ongoing support, is okay. Just be aware Vlue has not been online here in 2 years and is unlikely to see your request. I recommend you post in Script Requests to see if perhaps someone could help add this function for you, if Vlue's terms of use allow modification.

@Shoal I think you could actually event it, if you're fine with that anyway. Like make a guard skill specific for that actor which will serve as the "initiator". Then set it to be that actor's guard skill then make the skill run a common event which then utilizes the "Force Action" command to make the actor use the actual guard skill that corresponds to his level.

Or if the only difference between the various guard skills is the guard state that they add, just add the correct state using the damage formula since you can use RGSS code in the damage formula, or add the state using a common event.

try this. Changes the guard skill at the level you specify.

#          <Guard_Id skill_id level>  - changes default guard if level matchs
#
#           e.g. <guard_id 44 15>
#           guard skill is quick move at level 15
#        Must be in order. You cannot put a lower level below the higher level

@Roninator2 Thank you!!! ~~It's better than i was anticipating. ♥~~

At some point i'm sure i will run into something that forces me to learn how to do more and different kinds of events but for now it's smooth sailing =3

Edit:
It seems the level defining part is breaking? I did some quick tests and the guard effect runs fine if i remove the level so that it's just guard id as originally.

Would using yanfly's class system mess with this thing in particular?

I don't know, but the script is designed to have equipment notes overwrite -> class notes overwrite -> actors notes
Do you have any of these attack or guard notes in your equipment or class?

Also what I made only works for actors.

#16 Oct 31, 2019, 11:02 PM Source

For the test, i was using it exclusively in the class. there are no other places where attack or guard notes exist yet, so the chance of conflict shouldn't exist and i tested it using the player character.

I appreciate your help with this! at some point i'll do a better test with my other scripts disabled but time is not too plentiful for me atm. ^^'

So just like what I was saying, the add on I made is for actors only, not classes or equipment.
If you specify using this script in a class then you do not need my add on.
but I can try and rework it for classes.

Try this
