[RMVX ACE] HOW TO FIND ACTOR AND SKILL ID'S?

Posts

Pages: 1
Hello everyone! Complete noob here!

I am getting my feet wet with scripts but am running into an embarrassingly simple issue.

Certain scripts are asking me to input a Character/Actor ID and a Skill ID. Where do I find these ID's? What does this mean exactly?

For instance, if I want it to effect our main hero, Eric...how do I find his ID?

Or if I wanted the script to effect the spell "Tackle", how do I find that skill's ID?

Thank you!!!

An ID is usually a reference to a number associated with an entry in the database in the appropriate section. There's a pretty good likelihood that your main hero is the first person in the Actor tab in the database (ie: Actor #1 in the database), which makes that actor's ID equal to 1.

Likewise, the ID for the skill "Tackle" is the number associated to it in the Skill section of the database. So, if, for example, it's listed as Skill #5 in the database, it's ID is equal to 5.
Ok! Makes sense. I really thought I tried that but I must have messed something else up. Now that I know for sure, I can go back and figure it all out.

Thank you so much for your quick and informative reply! It is much appreciated!!!
