BattleAktionFX XP

by Kyonides

Introduction

After reading lots of stuff on Discord on some Follow Up Skill script for VX ACE, I thought XP badly needed to get something like that. This is how this script came into existence! Shocked

Currently, there are 4 options available:
  • :repeat for repeating the skill cast a few moments ago.
  • :random_skill for picking a skill from your actor's or enemy's list of available skills / action.
  • Some predefined skill ID - it might fail if the battler doesn't know it.
  • nil - it means nothing in Latin.

To add a new skill to the list, follow this example here:
Code:
SKILL_FX[57] = [:repeat, :random_skill]

57 would stand for the actual skill ID.

During gameplay, the script will pick one of those options randomly, unless there's just 0 or 1 there.

And yes, Ghost Golem enemies might escape or guard or do nothing if they got no valid action to perform at that point.

The Script
Code:
# * BattleAktionFX XP * #
#  Scripter : Kyonides
#  v0.4.0 - 2025-12-27

# Let your actors or troopers get an extra action for certain skills
# IF AND ONLY IF they meet some of the predefined criteria.

# Warning: Enemies might escape if they've got no available action left!

# Available Options: :repeat, :random_skill, some skill ID, nil
