[VX Ace] Some characters display TP instead of MP

Hey, I'm relatively new here, so I don't know if this goes here or not, but....

For a game I'm making, I was wondering if it were at all possible to get certain characters to only show TP instead of MP (and vice versa). I know it's possible to hide TP using the System options but, as the title says, I want TP to show up on certain characters and not on other ones.

Is there a way to script this that I just haven't seen or am I gonna have to find a whole 'nother solution?

In a lot battlescripts, TP is only displayed if the actor has skills that use TP - this part would only be choosing the correct scripts from the master script list.


However, MP is almost always displayed. It can be removed by scripts, but especially if you want it removed only for specific actors that needs a bit more work - and it cannot be done without knowing which battlescript (or default) you're using.


So I suggest you go to the master script list and check all existing battlescripts until you find one to your liking, then come back here with a link to it and requests any needed changes to it.

I am currently using the default script, but I don't know if I need to go find a masterscript or whatever like you're saying.

If I do, is there one you would recommend for beginner's? Sorry if this is confusing, but like I said in the first post, I'm not really knowledgeable about most of the workings in VX Ace. :s

you misunderstood - there is no "Masterscript". There is only the master "script-list" as in "the largest list, containing most of the existing scripts". It's called the masterlist because it contains about a thousand different scripts, changing different parts of the engine - and you would have to search that list for the few scripts that do what you want.


If you are a beginner, then I suggest you make your first game completely without scripts, even if that means you cannot remove MP from your actors. Believe me, you'll need to work a few months on a game project just to learn what you can do with the engine without scripting.

Alright, thank you for the help. It might not have been exactly what I wanted, but regardless the help is appreciated.
