Skills with the same name

Hi everyone,

this might be a dumb question, but in my current project the main character can use guns and when you have a gun equipped, you gain extra skills depending on the type, for example Handgun: Single shot, Aimed Shot. Power 8. 

The only problem is that multiple gun types will have the same skills (with different Power / effects) and I'm wondering if it's ok if I call them all ''Single Shot''.

This might be worrying too much, but I'm not sure if the Vx Ace database supports skills with same name, but different effects. I run into a problem in a different engine when trying to do that, so I just want to make sure that I won't get some complications in the long run.

Thanks!

The engine doesn't care about names - it always works with the ID numbers, and uses the names only for display to the player.


So the only problem occurs if the player can get several skills with the same name, then he won't be able to see which skill is which.


If you prevent that, you can even use this to convince the player that several skills (not available at the same time) are the same skill...

Ok, great. Thanks for the quick reply.
