Script
Instructions
Make a new script anywhere below 'Scene_Battle 3' (but above 'Main'). Do note that this script overwrites the methods 'update_phase3_skill_select' and 'update_phase3_item_select' so if you have any other scripts that modify those, you'll have to merge. I can assist with merging if you ask in this thread.
Credits and Thanks
Thanks to DerVVulfman and every other Save-Point scripter, for posting tons of scripts for me to study and learn how to make my own.
Author's Notes
This script was the third piece of code I wrote for my RPG Maker XP project. The lack of consistency between different skill targets bothered me, mostly because I have twitchy fingers and half the targeting options didn't have that confirmation "this is who the spell hits" display.
If anyone has a different idea for how the 'None' skill target should be displayed, let me know. Right now it shows targeting as if it was a "The User" skill.

Instructions
Make a new script anywhere below 'Scene_Battle 3' (but above 'Main'). Do note that this script overwrites the methods 'update_phase3_skill_select' and 'update_phase3_item_select' so if you have any other scripts that modify those, you'll have to merge. I can assist with merging if you ask in this thread.
Credits and Thanks
Thanks to DerVVulfman and every other Save-Point scripter, for posting tons of scripts for me to study and learn how to make my own.
Author's Notes
This script was the third piece of code I wrote for my RPG Maker XP project. The lack of consistency between different skill targets bothered me, mostly because I have twitchy fingers and half the targeting options didn't have that confirmation "this is who the spell hits" display.
If anyone has a different idea for how the 'None' skill target should be displayed, let me know. Right now it shows targeting as if it was a "The User" skill.
