[SCRIPTING] [RMVX ACE] Doublecast skill?

Awesome! I've spruced up the code since then... and fixed a couple of bugs, but it's also like... all intertwined with other code now, so I'll update it later.

But that works well enough, and bug fixing it shouldn't take very long.

Sorry... I don't know how to format it like code in the post...

Sure! I'd expect nothing less in your place!

Mind you, there is one thing that the scripting doesn't take into account because I solved it via states rather than scripting: If you use Doublecast to cast spells that have TP gains, you'll still gain the TP, meaning you could in theory use Doublecast and GAIN TP if the total TP gain of the pair of spells you cast is greater than the cost of Doublecast.

As far as I can tell, the code works error free... but of course I probably haven't tested every possible permutation, so if you find a glitch? I'd love to hear about it.

Here's the code:

$imported = {} if $imported.nil?
$imported['MSN-Doublecast'] = true

puts 'Load: MySN\'s Doublecast v1.0 by Trihan and MySN'

module MSN
  
  module REGEXP
    DOUBLECAST = /<doublecast>/i
  end
  
end

Seems to be working perfectly now! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

If you want, I'll post the completed code here, or send it to you.

:-D

Also question, what's the target index for the user? That's 0 right?

RIGHT! Thank you. I added cancelling to it to. And it works properly (EG, cancelling backtracks by one menu rather than cancelling the entire skill altogether).

Do you mind if I continue to use this code? Even if I make a commercial game? I will give you credit for it of course!

EDIT: The current game I'm working on isn't commercial, or at least, not intended to be at the moment.

Hey, one more thing. Because it overwrites the actions with different actions, it doesn't actually have a TP cost. Where in the script would I want to put this:

if @dc_state == :choose_2
#Insert code here to lower actors TP by the cost of double cast
@dc_state = :none
end

EDIT: Never mind, I saw what goes wrong if you cancel.

Cool! Thank you! I'm actually a programmer to, so I'll see what I can do about fixing it as well, I'm just not super great with Ruby, and I haven't mucked around with the engine enough to know where everything is in the code.

If I figure out the solution to this? I'll post it here.

So, all I have to do to start testing this is paste it into the "Materials section" of the scripting area right?

(As I said, Ruby is new to me, so I'm still figuring out how all of this works)

I'm trying to make a double cast skill that works as follows:

When you pick it it immediately, as a part of skill selection, lets you choose a spell, and the targets of that spell, and then do it again. It then does both spells in the order chosen, with the parameters chosen, upon that persons turn.

That's it. I'm hoping that either the script already exists, or that there's a relatively easy way to execute this. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thank you. I might do that.
