KFrozenSkill XP

by Kyonides Arkanthes

Introduction

I guess there could be such moments where you would love to freeze a given hero's skill  as a plot device  or just as a funny way to bother the player.

Guess what!  Now you can do that!

Note: Instructions are already embedded in my script!

The Script

Code:

# * KFrozenSkill XP
#   Scripter : Kyonides Arkanthes
#   v 1.0.0 - 2022-06-09

# Have you ever wanted to freeze a hero's given skill?
# Now you can!

# * Script Calls * #

# actor = $game_actors[ID]
# OR...
# actor = $game_party.actors[Index]
# actor.freeze_skill(SkillID, Options)

# - Options - They got to be separated by commas!

# - Actor with a given ID has got to be dead:
# :actor => 1
# :hp => 1500 (as minimum)
# :sp => 275 (as minimum)
# :gold => 1500
# :item => [ItemID, Quantity]

# Example:
# actor.freeze_skill(1, :actor => 3, :hp => 1200)

# * Optional Script Calls * #

# actor.frozen_skill?(skill_id)
# actor.thawed_skill?(skill_id)

# * Warnings * #

# Skills can only be frozen once!
# The script call will fail if the hero has not learned the chosen skill!
