Skills that change States

[Jonny]

I'm looking for a script that makes it so that when you use a skill it removes a certain state from the user even if the skill targets the enemy. I've tried doing this with events but it didn't work, and I've already found a way to make sure the skill can only be used when you have that state.

If you don't understand here's an example:
If an actor uses poison slash it damages the enemy and removes the venom state from that actor.

If the skill can only be used by just ONE particular actor, you could set the skill to call a 'common event' that removes the status effect.

The [Change State] event either removes a single state from the WHOLE party or one specified actor, so if this skill can be used by just one particular actor... you're set.

It's a skill that can be used by everybody. It's a sort of combo system. They have to select the prepare combo skill which gives them the combo ready state and then they can use double slash or triple slash or something like that. All of that works but the skill doesn't take away the combo ready state.

Create an extra state that removes "combo Ready" status set it so when this skill is used combo ready status is removed from the character.
Also for your poison slash example just use a common event that removes venom state from the character when it's used.

If there was an extra state that removed combo ready then how would I give the actor that used the skill that state?
Anyway, I just remembered that you can make a state wear off after a certain number of turns so I have that for now.

This is pretty similar to something I wrote a tutorial about.

I'm pretty sure that will work as long as it's compatible with trickster's individual turns cbs. I'll test it in a little while.

I can't think of any reason why it shouldn't be.

I can't find where to put attr_reader :active_battler since the SDK replaces the scenes so I'll keep it so that it wears off after 2 turns..

My friends say it's better to be able to use double attack twice anyway since if you use a turn to get a state then use a double attack it's the same as attacking twice.

All you have to do is open the SDK and find the line:

class Scene_Battle

And place it after it. That's it.

Well, with Trickster's individual turns cbs it's acting wierd. When they both have the status then if actor 1 uses the skill then actor 2's turn is right after his then actor 2 will lose the state instead.
I'll keep it so that it wears off after 2 turns. Less work for everyone and it works just fine.
