Introduction
Also known as the 'Blitz' system, this script allows the player to perform skills in combat by pressing the proper key combinations. If the key combination isn't properly entered, the skill may perform less damage and show a different battle animation

Instructions
Place this below Scene_Debug or below your battlesystem (if compatible) but above Main. You will probably wish to edit the customization section, as described below:

Customization

KEY_SEC
[size]This value indicates how much time you have to press each key for any given skill. If (for example) a skill requires four keys and the KEY_SEC value is set to 1.0, you would have 4 seconds to press all four keys.[/size]

T_BAR_NAME
[size]This value indicates the name of the bar graphic stored in Graphics\Windowskins folder. It is this bar that shows while waiting for your input (see below).[/size]

KEY_TYPE_ID
[size]This value indicates the RMXP switch you may use to change whether the keys shown will be based on keyboard or gamepad letters.[/size]

ALL_ATK
[size]This value indicates if a sucessful skill changes its scope to an 'all' scope.
***Note: This feature is best left as 'false' as this feature is buggy.***[/size]

ALL_ATK_SK
[size]This is an array that holds the IDs of skills that can perform 'all' scope skills if sucessfully performed. Again... part of a buggy system.[/size]

ALL_ATK_SK
[size]This is an array that holds the IDs of skills that can perform 'all' scope skills if sucessfully performed.[/size]

T_SKILL
[size]This is the array that holds the ID numbers of your 'Tactical' skills. Each skill is linked to a combination of keys, the amount of power in the skill if the skill fails, and an optional battle animation (by ID number) for failed skills.[/size]


T_BAR_NAME

Include this (or a suitable 128x10 image) into your Graphics\Windowskin folder.

Compatibility
It may work with most 'default-based' battlesystems, but I cannot guarantee its compliance with SDK systems. It is not RTAB compatible due to its obvious turn-based architecture.


Credits and Thanks
Obvious thanks to Claihm for making this system, and to whoever made babelfish which I used for the basic translations.
