[VX] Skill obtaining system

[J4iru5]

VX script?

Does anyone know of, or can make a script for items that give skills to certain characters when used?
E.x. you get the item "Skill book 1" and its like potion but instead of healing the character it's used on, it gives them a skill. And certain items can only be used on certain characters.

If anyone knows of a script or something like this, or is willing to make a script for this, I'd really appreciate it.

Bump for this, I was also looking for something similar. This used to be really easy to do just from the DB IIRC, but now in VX it seems to have been taken out.

I totally support this request!! :]

You can still do this in the database, it's just more roundabout.

Make the items you want to teach spells/skills call a common event. In this event make a conditional branch with an else case, with the parameters being Actor learned skill X. If it's true (they already know it) set your stuff to say they already know it, if it's false (in the else case) use the event "Actor:Change Skills" and add the skill.

How do I set my stuff to they already know it?

The conditional branch is checking if they know it. If they do, the first branch prevents them from learning again, if they don't know it, then the event adds the skill to their list.

oh, thanks, that works.
Much easier than scripting, thanks Joy!
I'll be sure to credit you.
