Conditional Skills/Skill Chaining

[jjangjae]

Is this scenario possible at all?  It'd be pretty impressive for my RPG if it was:

One character uses a skill with the name (let's say): X.  However, he has already learned another skill named Y which will not show up in his list of skills in battle because it is conditional.  The character uses the skill and because he has learned the skill "Y", it is used right after "X" is dealt, but also the character knows the skill "Z" which is also conditional and does not show up in the list of skills, and so skill "Z" is automatically used right after "Y" making it so that in total, the the skills "X", "Y", and "Z", are dealt in order as a result of the character just using the skill "X".

Hmm... what I would do is turn on a corresponding switch for each extra skill learned (in this case, one switch for Y and one for Z). Now make the X skill call a Common Event. In that Common Event, use a Conditional Branch to check if Y Switch is on (if it's learned). If so, execute another skill (or if it doesn't work, show an animation and deal damage), and then repeat for Z.

Of course, this is untested, and may run into some problems. If you have skills Y and Z learned by level, make a Conditional Branch that checks the player's level and turns on the switches. Place this at the beginning of the Common Event.

Hope I explained it well enough. If you run into any other problems just let me know.
