Skill Triggers Switch

[seita]

I need to be able to activate a switch when someone uses a skill.
In reality, I'm trying to make it so that a skill is added after you use a self-buffing skill. Once you use the added skill, the buff will wear off.

Well, simple but I just couldn't figure it out. I tried making a skill call a common event which would deactivate a state on one of the characters. However, the common event would trigger without the skill being fired, and there's no way to set off a normal trigger using a skill.

In Depth:

Okay here's the scenario.

Troop events: automatically switch on switch 1 (turns on common events 1 and 2)

Skill 1 (when activated, gives Skill 2 to character)
Skill 2 (when fired, removes Skill 1 state)
Two common events:
1: Conditional Branch (if player is affected by Skill 1, then give Skill 2) Else remove Skill 2. Parallel.
2. Change State (remove skill 1 state) Parallel.

I don't know how to remove the state once the skill is activated which is the problem. And with that setup above, the second common event just removes the state right away. I just don't know how to activate it by using Skill 2.

Any help would be appreciated,

thanks very much in advance.

One option you could try is making a new state (rating 0, so the name doesn't show up) and make the skill give that state 100% of the time. Then in the Troops events, use a Conditional Branch checking each turn if an ally or enemy (whoever is the target of that skill) has the state inflicted. If so, remove state.

There might be a simpler method with common events, but I don't really understand your question. What do you mean by "the common event would trigger without the skill being fired?"

Oh, I see your problem.  Parallel process doesn't work during battle.  If you right click the "What's this?", it states that they only work on maps.  Brewmeister made a super timer to remedy the situation last time in the script request section.

OH jeez I just figured it out. Used two common events and conditional branches. Thanks very much for the help Guardian.
