Skills : Replacements

Skills : Replacements

Introduction

This script was designed as a simple solution for folks who want higher level skills to replace their weaker counterparts. For instance, you can set it so Fire 1 is replaced by Fire 2, Fire 2 is replaced by Fire 3, etc. That's just a generic example (and it's set in the script), but you should get an idea of what you'd use this for.

Compatability

Doesn't require SDK or MACL. Oh hey, this might work in VX and/or VX Ace but I have no way of testing that, so you'll have to see for yourself.
