KChangeSkill XP

by Kyonides-Arkanthes

Introduction

Did you ever want to add weird states to force any hero waste his SP? Did you try to force him cast a spell or perform a physical technique whenever there was no need for it or his foe was immune to that specific move? Now you are able to make the hero's life miserable for sure!

Side Notes

You still need to create the states listed in this script in your game's states tab.

Script

Code:

# * KChangeSkill XP
#   Scripter : Kyonides-Arkanthes

#   This script will let you automatically change the skill the player chooses
#   whenever the current hero has not gotten rid of an unusual status.

#   Available Options  #

#   Weak or Strong or Random or Weak Healing Skill

#   Warning!  #
#   Two of Scene_Battle original methods have been overwritten, namely
#   update_phase3_skill_select and update_phase3_item_select.
