SkillRobber

XP + VX + ACE

by Kyonides

Introduction

No, it's not a Blue Mage skill script!
Your heroes don't need to ever die to learn the skill for one reason only...
They will steal it themselves!

For XP

Code:

# If you succeed, the Target Animation will be displayed on top of your hero!

# Add the same number of Skill & State ID's to the SKILL_IDS & STATE_IDS
# Constants because they are totally correlated.
# The higher the Skill ID, the more powerful it should be.

# Create the same number of Skills and States in the DB.
# The stealable skills may add 1+ of those States to their Plus State Set.
# They are another indicator of the Skill's Power Level required to steal them.

module SkillRobber
  SKILL_IDS = [82, 83]
  FAIL_SKILL_ID = 101
  WAIT_FRAMES = 20
  MESSAGE_LEARNED = "%s already learned %s!"
  MESSAGE_SUCCESS = "%s successfully stole %s!"
  MESSAGE_FAILURE = "%s failed to steal any skill!"
  MESSAGE_NO_SKILL = "%s found no skill to steal from %s"

For VX

Code:

# Create the same number of Skill & State ID's in the DB.
# The new skills should include the following note tag:

# <steal skill lvl 1>

# The level increases the more useful the given skill is.
# The stealable skills may only add 1 single State depending on the mininmum
# skill level required to steal them.

module SkillRobber
  SKILL_ANIME = 49

For VX ACE

Code:

# Create the same number of Skill & State ID's in the DB.
# The new skills should include the following note tags:

# Skill Robber's Note Tag
# <steal skill lvl 1 anime 3 6>

# Stealable Skill's Note Tag
# <stealable skill lvl 1>

# The level indicates how powerful Skill Robber should be in order to learn it.
# The animations will be used for the success and failure cases. Here a fail
# actually means that your hero already knows the skill.

module SkillRobber
  MESSAGE_LEARNED = "%s already learned %s!"
  MESSAGE_SUCCESS = "%s has stolen %s from %s!"
  ROB_SKILL_NOTE_TAG = /<steal skill lvl (\d+) anime (\d+) (\d+)>/i
  STEALABLE_NOTE_TAG = /<stealable skill lvl (\d+)>/i
