DerVVulfman's Limit Break Menu v 2.7

To those of you out there with basic scripting knowledge, this may seem a remedial question, but I'm absolutely stumped!

I'm using DerVVulfman's Limit Break with the additional Menus (v 2.7), and I'm wondering if you can use the Call Script command to force an individual actor to take a certain limit break type. 

What I'm trying to do is make a skill that would change the user's limit break type without affecting the limit type of any other actors in battle.  Millions of thanks and some cookies if anyone can help me out with this.  More cookies if you know of a way to assign multiple limit break types to the same actor simultaneously.  I'll post the scripts below for reference.

Limit Break
  #==============================================================================
# ** Limit Break (DVV's)
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#    by DerVVulfman
#    version 2.3
#    07-05-2007
#    Full SDK 2.2 Compatible (Does not need or require SDK 2.2)
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# INTRODUCTION:
#
#  This system is a revamped & rewritten system that disables 'element-tagged'
#  skills until the hero's limitbreak bar is filled.  Once the skill is used,
#  the skill becomes disabled again.  Works with and without the RTAB system.

#  One feature  that was sadly lacking in all other systems  was the inability
#  to fill the limitbreak bar with item damage.  Previous systems only looked
#  to damage inflicted through attacks and skill use.  Items such as grenades
#  were entirely overlooked.
#
#  It has been designed 'menu-less' by intent, and this is to prevent any pos-
#  sible conflicts with any custom menu system. However Alistor (RMXP.ORG) has
#  designed a menu system  that can change  an actor's  limit break fill-type:
#  (Attack/Defend/Guard).  It is ready for plug-n-play use.
#
#  The system, by itself, does not change the 'ATTACK' option  in the Actor's
#  command window either.  Instead, this system  enables/disables the skills
#  in the skill menu  for you to select.  Another add-on has been created by
#  me to change the 'Attack' option for you.      * It's been asked for. :) *
#
#  It still requires a bar-drawing system such as 'Cogwheel's HP/SP/EXP Gauge'
#  script to draw the Limit Break bar, unless a suitable Bar Drawing script is
#  available.  However, when not using a bar-drawing system, you merely do not
#  have bars visible in-game.  Previous versions either had their own built-in
#  cheaply designed bar system,  or required a separate script  to prevent the
#  project from crashing.  This system neither needs bars  to be drawn or re-
#  quires a bar system to prevent crashes.
#
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
#  SYSTEMS OF NOTE:
#
#  While most of the configuration system is set via CONSTANTS,  the 'Flexible
#  Positioning System' is set via ($)Global values that can be edited from any
#  MAP EVENT script call.  That way,  positioning of the bars  can be changed
#  based on which menu or battlestatus window you are using at the time.  The
#  RTAB battlesystem  uses its own set of $Global values ($lb_rtab_pos & _var)
#  as it has an almost unique way  to draw its own  BattleStatus window.  The
#  ParaDog v 2.58 battlesystem  also uses  these two values  for its own limit
#  break bar placement.
#
#  The $lb_hidden global array can hold the ID of actors in your database that
#  do not have their Limit Break bars visible on the screen.  It also disables
#  the Limit Break Sound Effect from playing if the same actor's 'limit-break'
#  value has maxed out (his/her non-visible bar becomes filled).  As a $global
#  value, it too can be edited from any MAP EVENT script call.
#
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
#  COMPATABILITY:
#
#  This system has been designed initially for the default and RTAB battlesys-
#  tems, however by the use of ALIASes throughout the system... this script is
#  also SDK 2.2 compliant, and compliant with both the XRXS #65 and the Para-
#  Dog V 2.58 battlesystem:
#
#  RE:  ParaDog's V 2.58
#  *  As stated above, the ParaDog system also uses the same section of the
#      'Flexible Positioning System as RTAB.  This allows the use of Verti-
#      cally aligned Limit Break bars instead of the default Horizontal bars.
#
#
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#
#  Thanks goes to link2795 for discovering the 'healing items/RTAB' bug.  And
#  to Jaide for recommending the 'Death Wipe' feature, & finding an RTAB bug.

Here is the 1st Part of the Menu System I'm using in conjuction with it.
Menu Part 1

#==============================================================================
# DerVVulfman's Limit Break Menu v 2.7
# By Alistor, with Edits by DerVVulfman
# Original Concept by SephirothSpawn
#==============================================================================
# This script has an Auto-Detect function that, when used with SDK, replaces the
# internal Window_HorizCommand with the SDK version. Thanks go to DerVVulfman for that
# method. Added a second Auto-Detect function that, when used with the Attack Replacer LB
# Add-On, removes limits from the skill window in battle and vice-versa.
#==============================================================================

  #  **  C  O  N  F  I  G  U  R  A  T  I  O  N      S  Y  S  T  E  M  **  #
  #=======================================================================#


  # Allows you to hide SP values of zero:
  # =====================================
  HIDE_ZERO_SP    = true

 
  # Basic Menu Text:
  # ================
  LB_MENU_TITLE  = 'Limits'        # Menu Title
  LB_HEADING_1    = 'View Limits'  # Option 1 Text:  List of Limit Break Skills
  LB_HEADING_2    = 'Set Gain Mode' # Option 2 Text:  List of Limit Break Types

 
  # Preset Gain Mode Help Text System:
  # =================================+
  # This customizes the text shown after you choose the limit break style for an
  # actor.  Originally hardwired, you can now edit the layout right here.
  #
  # {lb_a_name}  :Actor's Name
  # {lb_a_type}  :Actor's Gain Mode Text (Limit Type)
  LB_GAIN_TEXT = "{lb_a_name}'s Gain Mode is Now {lb_a_type}"
  # - Sample output:  Aluxes's Gain Mode is now Stotic -
  #
  # Optionally, you could have it be this:
  # LB_GAIN_TEXT = "Gain Mode of {lb_a_type} now set to {lb_a_name}"
  # - Sample output:  Gain Mode of Victor now set to Gloria -
 
 
  # Array of Limit Break types:
  # ===========================
  # This allows you to list the limit break styles or settings available in your
  # system. You can choose to list them in any order and pick and choose whether
  # a limit break style  will even be  in your game.  You no longer have to use
  # 'all' the limit break types available.  And as such, this system is already
  # designed to accomodate any newer limit break types not yet available.
  #
  # Idx:        The index/setting of a 'limit break type' as defined by LB_START

  # NOTE: The array can be set in any order, so the menu options can be arranged
  #      in any order.  What controls the limit break type in use is the 'Idx'
  #      number in the array.
