KPartners VX

by Kyonides

Introduction

Did you ever wanna add special skills to a hero if he had a partner?
Or has a hero lost a partner?
Then now they could access those extra skills during battles!

Just follow the instructions included in my scriptlet!

The Script for XP & VX

Code:

# * KPartners VXP
#   Scripter : Kyonides Arkanthes
#   v 0.1.5 - 2020-07-13

# This scriptlet allows a hero to get access to extra skills if he currently
# has a partner or he has already lost one.
# The chosen hero should have enough mana to perform the skill.
# They should never share the same class.
# If the game developer or the player removes a hero and he had a partner, both
# of them will get their PartnerID's reset to zero.
# Heroes might share the same skill set if you want to.

# PARTNER_SKILLS[ [ActorID, PartnerID] ] = [SkillID1, SkillID2, etc.]
# Examples:
#   PARTNER_SKILLS[[1, 2]] = [1, 4, 5]
#   PARTNER_SKILLS[[2, 1]] = [3, 7, 9] #-> Here they don't share them!
# The same is valid for the LOST_PARTNER_SKILLS.

# * Script Calls * #

# First Step: Pick a specific teammate (Starting from Zero! 0!)
#   actor = $game_party.actors[Actor's Current Position in Your Team]

# To set a partner
#   actor.partner_id = ActorID

# To set a lost partner
#   actor.lost_partner_id = ActorID

# To remove any partner
#   actor.no_partner!

# To remove any lost partner
#   actor.no_lost_partner!

# To check whether or not a hero is a current teammate
#   $game_party.has_actor?(actor)
#   $game_party.has_member?(actor)

FAQs

I know it should run on RM XP and VX!
Sadly I can't say the same about VX Ace because some wolf full of fleas let me know it has no skill_can_use? method at all.
