Actors : Append Skills
Version: 1.0
By: Kain Nobel

Introduction

This snippet was made with projects in mind that release a seperate demo for sequel chapters, which are subject to changes in a Class's skill library. In lamens terms, lets say you set it so [Hero] was supposed to learn [Skill] at [level #] in your next release, but the previous release this skill wasn't present in the Class's Skill Learnings library; there is a possibility the player has already leveled up past the point where he was supposed to learn that [skill] in the previous chapter.

The remedy; call $game_actors.append_skills from the first map in your demo, and each actor will learn skills they leveled too high to get in the next chapter!

Features

• One simple call script to append skills in your next project.

FAQ

Spoiler: Technically, how does it work?

It calls all actors to level up from level 1 back up to their current level, thus triggering the skills set by class to be learned again if they haven't already been.
