KActorSkill XP

by Kyonides Arkanthes

Introduction

Are you tired of just including skills your heroes can learn only if they picked a certain class or job?
Are you feeling an urge to add actor specific skills?
Now you can do it!  

It is a two step process!
You first add some sort of skill recipe that only includes ID and some default conditions like level or number of items or amount of gold and you are done!
Rinse and repeat for every single actor that you think that should benefit from this!

You can either preset the skill learning (alias simple recipe) or add it via script call in game. Interesting, don't you think?

Side Notes
It does NOT include any menu so far...
This is just a theory but it might work in VX or VX Ace as well.

Script

Code:

# * KActorSkill XP
#   Scripter : Kyonides Arkanthes
#   2020-06-03

# This scriptlet has a specific goal, to let your heroes learn skills that are
# not linked to their current job or class. You could call them...
# Actor Specific Learnable Skills - It is a two step process!

# Step 1: Get a "recipe" for a specific skill
# Step 2: Finally learn the skill if you met the requirements

# KActorSkill.add_learn script call shows you all of the available options.

# Currently there are two ways to add such skill learning.
# Method 1: You setup the SKILLS constant found in the KActorSkill module.
# Method 2: You use the KActorSkill.add_learn script call in game.

# * Script Call *

# KActorSkill.add_learn(ActorID, SkillID, Options)
#  Allows an Actor to add a skill learning to his list of learnable skills
#  Options can be one of these combos:
#  :level => SomeLevel
#  :gold => SomeAmount
#  :item => ItemID, :total => SomeNumber

module KActorSkill
  SKILLS = {} # Do Not Touch This Line!
  # Examples - You can add more than one Skill ID for any actor!
  # SKILLS[ActorID] = { SkillID => { condition }, etc. }
  # SKILLS[1] = { 1 => { :level => 3 } }
  # SKILLS[2] = { 2 => { :gold => 300 } }
  # SKILLS[3] = { 3 => { :item => 3, :total => 5 } }
  SKILLS[1] = { 1 => { :level => 1 } }
