Executing common event before skill execution

[McP]

Hi
in the settings for the skills, you can check if you want a common event executed or not.
My problem is, the common event starts after the the skill is performed.
I need my event starting before the skill.
I think i basically just need to put some script part somewhere else..

Help would be highly appreciated
edit: If you could tell me the script part that is responsible for the event execution it would help me a lot too.

i hate to say this: b.u.m.p

Insert above Main

class RPG::Skill
  Pre_Common_Event_ID = {}
  Pre_Common_Event_ID.default = 0
  def pre_common_event_id
    return Pre_Common_Event_ID[@id]
  end
end

class Scene_Battle
  alias_method :seph_preskillcommonevents_scnbtl_msar, :make_skill_action_result
  def make_skill_action_result
    seph_preskillcommonevents_scnbtl_msar
    if @common_event_id > 0
      common_event = $data_common_events[@common_event_id]
      $game_system.battle_interpreter.setup(common_event.list, 0)
    end
  end
end

Just alter this:

Pre_Common_Event_ID = {}

Below that, lets say you want another common event 5 to run when skiil 3 is used. Below that line, add:


Pre_Common_Event_ID[3] = 5

Just do that for all your skills.

Sorry to digg this out after such a long time but i took a break in rpg making and so I wasn't active on this board either.

Thanks Sephi' for looking at this and thanks for your script, but theres still one problem. Your script works as far as the common event is executed when the skill is selected, but the skill itself is not.
In simple words: Instead of the skill, the common event occurs, but what i need is Common Event, then Skill!

The reason why i need this is, to fade out the battler gfx before a certain skill is performed e.g Ultima which would cover the whole screen and damage everyone near it. So the battlers need to disappear for some time.
