Skill from accessory, useable only once

[kkxkn]

I'm using this battle system:
http://www.rmxp.org/forums/showthread.php?t=14163

No other addons not included in that demo are being used at this stage.

What I'm after, is that, by equipping an accessory, the character gains an extra skill. Then, when this skill is used, the accessory is removed(as in, it is lost, not just unequipped) and the skill is lost (until another accessory is equipped).

So basically,
1) Accessory is equipped, skill is gained
2) Once skill is used, accessory is lost
3) When accessory is either lost in that way or unequipped, the skill is lost

Also another _very_ minor addon that would go well with this one, if it's not already the default behaviour of RMXP... if a skill has an MP cost of 0, then don't display anything for MP cost instead of displaying 0.

couldn't that be done with a common event? *goes to look...* wait, no... there's no way to link a common event to an accessory...

 

[kkxkn]

It possibly could, but it would require a lot of fork conditions and be extremely complex, and is there any way through that to tell which character even casted the spell?

umm not sure if this can do that...

Its Tricksters individual battle commands... you might just be able to do that in the script section and stuff not sure...

just ask in that post I guess and see what script can be used... it would require you to make an ID of all the accessories that give skills to have the skills though...

but that adds an extra command so maybe is not what you want... hmmm... for just a skill dunno but this is probably close to what you need

you will probably need the bag of skill effects too... http://www.rmxp.org/forums/showthread.php?t=19102

the divest script (unequip item when skill is used) then probably make it so you loose the item...

so umm probably something like this???


item 81 is the accessory novice spell book...

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Command Id 13  : Custom Commands Special attacks
#   Description   : a novice spell book that gives you 4 spells... skills 1 => 1 is skill id 1 at level 1
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
id		13
name		Novice's Book
kind		1
armor_ids	[81]
skills		{1 => 1, 2 => 1, 3 => 1, 4 => 1}
description	A Novice Spellcaster's Spellbook
help_text	Contains 4 basic spells...
next_method	start_skill_select

and useing the bag of skills effects set it so that those 4 skills would make it remove the equiped item that gives you the skills...

so on line 23 of the divest script set it to

Divest = {1 => [81], 2 => [81], 3 => [81], 4 => [81]}

I think that is what you mean... hmm not sure if it will work maybe someone will look at this XD

hmm if you use those 2 scripts it would probably work but only problem is it adds that command window with the skills in it... could be useful though... an item that gives you a super attack spell but destroys the item itself or gives you a super healing spell XD

hmm though for destorying the item is the problem isn't it??? hmm I guess this would need changed but I dunno your gonna have to ask Trickster about it... T_T so I guess it needs to have an item remove code added to the end

which is already in the games defaults just how to call it???

hmm...

Needs to delete it, not just unequip it...

Is there any simple script available rather than combining multiple? If not I'll give all this a go...

 

[kkxkn]

So nothing, then?

Argh... fine...
