Need help with items and skills (XP)

i want to create another menu in the combat menu, in RPG maker XP, the combat menu goes like this:

Attack
Skill
Defend
Item

I want to add another menu so it goes something like this:

Attack
Skill
Skill2
Defend
Item

Now, is it possible to do this and the skills be created and filtered using the rpg maker tools or does it have to be entirely scripted (like i have a skill that goes in "skill" and another that goes in "skill2")


also i was to make an item to show up in the skill panel, is there a way to do this?


thanks
 
To add another skill slot you would have to do it via scripting. I myself am horrid with scripts but if you do a few searches I am sure you will find what you are looking for. If not ask in the scripting forum. There are a lot of talented scripters on here who I'm sure could help you out.

As for adding items to skills. I am not really sure about it. I just played around with it for a couple minutes and what I thought would work didn't. I can try more again later though.
 
Depending on what you have in mind, it is possible to make a common event check whether an item is in inventory, and teach the player the skill only if it's present, erasing it otherwise.
