Blue Mage Script help

[chameleon1333]

So i'm trying to create a blue mage character. I've got a script for that allows me to choose the id numbers for blue magic and choose the ids of the sctors that are blue mages. The blue mage will learn a skill when attacked only. To get around the issue of enemy's not using helping skills on the mage (such as white wind from final fantasy) i have a script for a skill that controls the enemy (actually they just become an ally and can't be controlled) and they will use the healling skill, but the Blue Mage wont learn it even though it's working on them. Looking at the blue mage script it looks like it only set up to learn on a "hit", but i don't know how to add it for other skills like healling or status changing ones. Here the script im using

Code:

Ahhh... we learn by doing. And you got to it before anyone here had a CHANCE to help. Nice.

[Ahzoh]

what makes a blue wizard different than any other?

[DerVVulfman]

They learn the skills they're attacked by. Dunno why they call it Blue Mage.... just sum it up as a Skill Learning script.

[Ahzoh]

it should be called move-mimic, and this sound pretty cool then.
