When I moved Searching for Mother onto RMVXAce, I wanted to add a twist to the skill learning methods in the game.
So I decided to plan out a Skill Merging system.
What this basically does is:
Combine Skill ID # of one Skill Type with another Skill ID # of another type to create Skill ID # of a third Skill Type.
(In this case,
Skill ID 1 (Special) with
Skill ID 2 (Magic) to create
Skill ID 3 (Combine) )
I know it can be done somehow. I just need to plan further. Here's what I've picked up so far:
So far, I've managed to split two
"Window_SkillList" windows to show different categories. Next, I need to create arrays to determine which skills can/cannot be combined.
What this will then make this scene do is display a message showing which skill is created... or if it fails, show an
"incompatible" message, and then reset back to the
"Start" button. If successful, the
"combined" skill will be added to the actor's skill list, then everything resets back to
"Start".
However, I haven't quite mastered how to do this just yet. If anyone wants to assist me in making this system possible, please let me know.
Oh right, I forgot to mention; I also plan to add CP
(Combine Points), which are only earned in battle
AFTER a certain event switch is triggered.
