Weapons : Target All

[Kain Nobel]

Introduction

This script allows the user to flag certain weapons to target Enemy (All).

Instructions

Place below default scripts and above Main.

Look for the constant within RPG::Weapon, it's called TargetAll. Just place your desired Weapon IDs in there.

Compatability

Written for RPG Maker XP. May work in VX or VX Ace, but I haven't tested it.

Author's Notes

Maybe one day I'll expand on this idea; weapons with multiple targeting options. For now, it's only Enemy (All). Take it or leave it.

Many thanks! For the longest I've searched for a script like this one.

Perhaps it's the way my characters' stats are distributed, but I noticed the herd-hitting weapons to be rather inaccurate. Fine, methinks. This way, it would prevent them from being too game-breaking.
