use weapon animation on skill

Question is same as title, I've been trying to figure out how to make the sv actors use their weapon animations like with the skill:1 attack, on other skills. The best i have done is a spell activation motion with the weapon sprite, but they should be using the regular attack motion. I've been fooling around with yanfly action sequences but i can't figure out how to do the swing with a standard attack motion. I have the skill out of the [sv] magic skills skill types.

Worth reading through right to the end, where the conclusion lies...


Hope this helps.

Got it, thanks @Dad3353. I googled and looked through these forums, I wasn't looking for the correct thing (or hard enough)

for those who don't want to read through that other topic:


the key is the "normal attack" feature - if that is used in a skill, the skill will refer to the weapon for that part.


There are several parts of a skill setting where it could be used - the animation is one of those, the element selection another and the effects (for states applied by weapon) another.

this tag in the skills notetag worked for me
