Skills with requirements

Hello everyone.

I'm trying to make my own skills and I've encountered myself having trouble understanding the skill and classes database. What i would like to do (if there is a way to do it) is to give a character a skill which he can only use when another certain character is in the party. Having another character as a requirement for the attack.

And I can't find where or how to do that.

Also, i would like to make a cover skill in which a character takes the damage in place of another character even if he other character has his

HP at100%.

Thanks for your time.

I'm pretty sure the kind of Cover skill you want could be sorted in the States database. The game already has a "Cover" state so I'm sure it could be adjusted to suit your needs with some tweaking.

As for character-specific skills, here's an idea that works for gameplay, not so much for test battles. I did something similar for equipment, maybe it will work here. Create an event somewhere on your map and select the "Parallel Process" type. Then make a Conditional Branch to check whether the character you want is in the party. If Yes, set the branch to add the skill you want. If No, set it to remove the skill you want.

Hope this works. If not, let me know and I'll try and come up with another solution.

Well tomorrow I'm releasing a skill costs script and making a character in the party a requirement would not be hard, but I'm not gonna mess with substitutes (yet). So I guess I'm helping out with the first request? Just gonna have to wait until tomorrow (the script is not ready to release).

I still can't get my way around skills or states. I've been and still am trying to understand it. But no success yet.

Do any of you know a detailed guide on the skill, class, and states tabs?

I'd be really grateful if you link me to any.

Let me know about that. I would like to check it out once I understand the database that is.
