This script adds more functionality towards skill costs. Skills can now cost HP, more MP, more TP, gold, and even have custom costs. The way the skill costs are drawn in the display windows are changed to deliver more effective and reliable information to the player. And if four skill costs aren’t enough to satisfy you, you can even make your own custom skill costs.
—
The MP Cost limit is raised using notetags and skills can now cost a percentage of an actor’s maximum MP value, too.
<mp cost: x>
Sets the skill’s MP cost to x. Allows MP cost to exceed 9999, which is RPG Maker VX Ace’s database editor’s maximum limit.
<mp cost: x%>
Sets the MP cost to a percentage of the actor’s MaxMP. If a normal MP cost is present on the skill, too, then this value is added to the MP cost.
—
The TP Cost limit is raised for those who use a higher Max TP value than 100. There also exists notetags for TP percentage costs.
<tp cost: x>
Sets the skill’s TP cost to x. Allows TP cost to exceed 100, which is RPG Maker VX Ace’s database editor’s maximum limit.
<tp cost: x%>
Sets the TP cost to a percentage of the actor’s MaxTP. If a normal TP cost is present on the skill, too, then this value is added to the TP cost.
—
Skills can now cost HP. The actor must have more than the HP cost to use the skill. HP costs can also cost a percentage of the actor’s MaxHP.
<hp cost: x>
Sets the skill’s HP cost to x. This function did not exist by default in RPG Maker VX Ace.
<hp cost: x%>
Sets the HP cost to a percentage of the actor’s MaxHP. If a normal HP cost is present on the skill, too, then this value is added to the HP cost.
—
Skills can also require gold. Have it cost a set amount of gold or a percentage of the party’s total gold.
<gold cost: x>
Sets the skill’s gold cost to x. Enemies with skills that cost gold do not use gold. If the player does not have enough gold, the skill can’t be used.
<gold cost: x%>
Sets the skill’s gold cost equal to a percentage of the party’s total gold. If both a regular gold cost and a percentile gold cost is used, the total of both values will be the skill’s gold cost.
—
The skill list window will now show all of the skill’s cost requirements when before it only showed only TP or MP with priority for TP than MP. This script also enables the option to use icons and to change suffixes for skill costs. Skill costs reposition themselves relative to each other. However, if you have too many skill costs, the costs WILL overlap the skill’s name. I am not responsible if you decide to make your skill list window look like a mess of a Christmas Tree.
—
Lunatics can create their own custom skill costs using the custom cost notetags. Change the way skills cost to your liking.
<custom cost: string>
If you decide to have a custom cost for your game, insert this notetag to change what displays in the skill menu visually.
<custom cost colour: x>
This is the “Window” skin text colour used for the custom cost. By default, it is text colour 0, which is the white colour.
<custom cost size: x>
This is the text font size used for the custom cost in the display windows. By default, it is font size 20.
<custom cost icon: x>
If you wish to use an icon for your custom cost, replace x with the icon ID you wish to show in display windows. By default, it is 0 (and not shown).
<custom cost requirement> string string </custom cost requirement>
Sets the custom cost requirement of the skill with an eval function using the strings in between. The strings are a part of one line even if in the notebox they are on separate lines.
<custom cost perform> string string </custom cost perform>
Sets how the custom cost payment is done with an eval function using the strings in between. The strings are a part of one line even if in the notebox they are on separate lines.
—
There are now “traits” that reduce TP costs, HP costs, and Gold costs. These can go on actors, classes, weapons, armours, enemies, and states. There isn’t one for MP costs because there already exists a “trait” for MP costs in those respective objects. However, I felt it was a little unfair that only MP would get the better treatment from traits.
<hp cost rate: x%>
Allows the actor to drop the HP cost of skills to x%.
<tp cost rate: x%>
Allows the actor to drop the TP cost of skills to x%.
<gold cost rate: x%>
Allows the actor to drop the Gold cost of skills to x%.
—
You can now set a maximum and/or minimum cap for how much a skill can cost. This is important for those percentile cost skills where it won’t overcharge a player but won’t undercharge them either.
<hp cost max: x> <hp cost min: x>
Sets the maximum and minimum range of the HP Cost of the skill. If you do not use this tag, there will be no maximum and/or minimum range.
<mp cost max: x> <mp cost min: x>
Sets the maximum and minimum range of the MP Cost of the skill. If you do not use this tag, there will be no maximum and/or minimum range.
<tp cost max: x> <tp cost min: x>
Sets the maximum and minimum range of the TP Cost of the skill. If you do not use this tag, there will be no maximum and/or minimum range.
<gold cost max: x> <gold cost min: x>
Sets the maximum and minimum range of the Gold Cost of the skill. If you do not use this tag, there will be no maximum and/or minimum range.

Yanfly Channel 
v1.01 update – Added max and min notetags.
Greetings Ms. or Mr. Yanfly.
I’ve modified your script very slightly to include Current HP, MP and TP Costs and I wondered if you wanted the modified version?
I know that your script has not been updated in almost 3 years, but you might still be interested.
I would like that please
Sure, I’ll just cleanup and add the descriptions about the tags, I’ll upload it, and reply here.
http://pastebin.com/em93mPcr
If there is any bugs, crashes or bugs, please reply.
I have not had time to properly test it, but it should work properly.
I know the features work perfectly for HP costs though.
http://pastebin.com/vXZmPyUf
There was quite a few bugs that I found :S
Up there is the supposedly fixed version :)
I tried your revised script, but I get an error when I try to use the skill:
Script ‘Scene_Battle’ line 584: NoMethodError occurred.
undefined method ‘make_targets’ for nil:NilClass
I’ve even tried it in a clean game with no other scripts and I still get that error. Help is appreciated.
That actually might already be in there.
Looking at it, if you know the command for getting the party member using the skill, you should be able to put it in as an equation.
Kinda like how you do damage formulas, for example let’s say you want it to cost 50% of your CURRENT Hp. Then it’d possibly like this:
HP Cost = ((currentMember.CurrentHP)*0.5)
Now sure how the script’d display that as it’d always be changing but you could put that in the description for the player to know how it works.
Just wanted to ask if the max. and min. for percentage costs will be displayed anywhere in-game? Keep up the good work!
They won’t.
If I set the HP Cost of a skill to 100%, would the actor using it die after performing the skill, or will it just not work?
I was thinking along the lines of the Kamikaze skill, where the actor dies after unleashing a powerful attack.
It won’t work.
Will something like that come with a “Custom Skill Effects” script? I’m thinking about a sacrificing skill for the healers, for example.
Try making the ability apply the dead state upon the user.
I haven’t actually gotten a chance to look at this one, but, would it be possible, even with the lunatic mode, to make a skill cost, say 3 potions AND 3 mega-potions?
I’ve been trying that, and it’s possible (in the requirement and perform).
I just can’t seem to display all the costs.
Love this one, but i don’t understand how to make them cost items as the first screenshot, I want archer skills to cost arrows and some ninja skill to cost kunai’s
http://www.rpgmakervxace.net/index.php?/topic/461-help-with-creating-an-archer-mage-class/
See the last post in the link above. What I did is utilised Ace Equip Engine to create my own equipment slot that only accepts the arrows. Here, I also made the arrows ‘armour’, not items.
To fix the items window from showing the arrows as armour, I have started to port KGC’s CategorizeItem script to VXAce. With that, I can create my own categories and manually force each item, weapon and armour into a category of choice.
While I think I’ve done much conversion, I need help with some issues.
Maybe Yanfly can check the script?? =P
There is no edit button…..
I assumed that you would be equipping arrows. If not, then you can surely have the skill cost items. See the 7th screenshot. Use the “custom cost requirement” and the “custom perform” tags (in screenshot).
Yeah, i think that wordpress should have that option, I hate when My user name is changed to my real name -.- that just reveal my real identity as person and writer.
I wasn’t thiking on equip them just have them on inventory but i think that your idea is better so I’ll try the solution of that threat when I get to configure that script (I just started to port my project to Ace), thank you.
yanlfy you could put the script without this in rb file and I can not open
You can simply open the .rb file in your basic text editor program like Notepad and set it so that it always opens that type of file with that program.
I dont know why, but when i set the cost of a skill to be “gold”, i can’t see its cost in the skill manager nor in the battle skill window, and the skill can be used even if you don’t have any gold at all.
Oh and, I just noticed, the problem comes up when you use percentile costs for Gold. Normal gold cost works fine.
v1.02 – Compatibility Update: Doppelganger
Just something I want to run by you. I want to make a Skill that sends a player character into an empowered state. There are no buffs in my game, but the characters do use various transformations. The transformations alter the character’s original stat(s) by percentage (Ex: Attack 105%) and their sprite changes to a different one (usually a custom one I’ve created, sometimes just their color). While one of the Transformation States (only one at a time) is active, the character loses a percentage of their MP each turn (different states have different costs). When their MP reaches 0, the TS is released and their stats return to normal.
That’s the basis of it. I just want to know if any combination of your scripts would work in helping me to achieve this.
It’s a little complex, but this can be done through eventing (I am an event nub, so there might be better ways to do it).
Note: Troop Tab. Copy-paste after done.
Just do a state for each transformation, and make a check using variables and conditional branches.
[Troop]
Var[82] = [MP Check]; set variable equal to [Sairen’s MP]
—– Input all variables for all actors —–
Open Cond 1:
{
EX: [Sairen] has state [Grathnode Inferia] on.
-> possibly a script call changing battler sprite? Well, Yanfly’s visual battlers won’t be out for quite some time, so you’ll need to script something that allows you to use sprites (like Ramiro’s), and also allows script calls to change the sprite in battle.
v—- Put another cond. branch inside it.
-> if variable 82 [MP Check] = 0
——> then remove [Grathnode Inferia]
}
Close Cond 1
…And do that for each transformation.
It seems tedious, depending on the amount of transformation. I guess it can be used alongside Kread-Ex’s Morph, as to give skills for reach transformation. Haven’t tried it out yet.
Each state, ex: [Grathnode Inferia] has modified parameters (in traits).
I apologize for replying much later than the last, but I find I’m having a problem with this. Much like Seiryuki, I am using this script to create ammunition. Everything works fine until I have one arrow remaining.
This is what I have in my note tag for the arrow item (weapon)
$game_party.item_number($data_weapons[3])>=1
$game_party.lose_item(($data_weapons[3]), 1)
When I have 1 arrow remaining, the skill becomes disabled until I have more than 1 arrow in the equip slot. I have tried this with and without Asagi’s Gun License script by Kread-EX. The problem I’m finding is the equipped item isn’t removed. Is there a way around this?
Thanks for trying the method! I didn’t get around to trying it out myself and I’m sorry for that.
Hm, so the item doesn’t reach zero? I haven’t started my game so I haven’t got a chance to test things.
I figure it might be possible to solve the issue through the $game_party.lose_item method. The method might be only treating with “items” and not catering for the armours and weapons we are using as the cost.
Unfortunately, I can’t use RMVXAce at work and my monitor at home is currently dead.
Maybe someone, or YF if he has time, can check that lose_item method, if that is the problem.
It’s a great system and a lot can come from it. I’d rather get this to work some how to make my game more strategic than have infinite arrows.
I’m working on a common event method that adds the arrows to the armor inventory when a corresponding arrow exists in the player inventory and de-equips the arrow once the arrows are depleted.
Well… that worked about as far as nothing. The script/event hybrid system only works best with one ammo type, and even still there are bugs. oh well… maybe someone will make a working ammo script.
Any chance you could add a tag that makes it so a skill costs all of the user’s CURRENT MP, and not their max MP? KGC_MPCostalter for VX had it, and I figure it would be a breeze for someone as great as you to do it. I would do it myself, but I have no scripting knowledge.
Actually scratch that, I figured it out. However, I’d like to change that request to a tag that makes it so the skill does damage based on how much MP was spent, seeing as setting the skill to “b.mp” will result in 0 damage (damage is calculated after MP is spent; because the skill costs all MP, the user’s current MP during damage calculation is 0). Again, this should be a cinch for someone like yourself.
Could you tell us how you figured it out? I’m still working on that one little bit, trying to get the actual cost to show up in the Skills window instead of just being lame and putting “100% MP” or something
To cyborg mermaid: Copy this and paste it in the skill’s notetag, using v.1.03 or newer of this script:
self.mp = 0
self.mp > 0
Hiya
First up – Fantastic scripts, Yanfly. They improve RPGmaker immensely!
Having slight problem with this script, though. When in use, I have an actors with the feature:
Sp-Parameter [TCR] * 200%
(This made him gain TP faster than normal).
With this script installed, though – it appears that the Sp-Parameter [TCR] no longer works.
Was wondering if you had any suggestions?
Thanks again
(Sorry, I should really check my message before posting).
To simplify:
Skill Cost Manager script installed makes the Sp-Parameter [TCR] no longer function.
Found it.
This script defines a new method called “tcr” for TP Cost Rate, but it’s the same name as tcr (TP Charge Rate). Replace all instances of “tcr” in the script with something else (I used “tcr_y”).
If you are using Ace Status Menu you’ll also need to modify this where appropriate.
Thank you greatly, Fafnir! :)
I was wondering how one would make the skill cost items…
For example, Fire I would require the item ‘Level I Components’ and without it, you couldnt cast. Is there a way?
I can’t seem to get the hp costs to work properly, I’ve set up them up like in the screen/script but the skill works without costing hp..am I doing something wrong? :o
I put the script into my game, and in the notebox of my skill I put “”
but in battle my tp doesn’t increase past 100, why?
This script won’t help increase your TP limit past 100, bro.
You can change TP limit via this link:
Hi, any one tried to set a percentage cost on tp? Somehow it does not work the way it should.
Can you give it a bit more detail? What cost do you get instead?
If I put in a skill the skill always costs 10tp. The idea was to create a skill, that deals damage according to the tp one has but that uses up all of the current tp.
irk, wordpress ignored everything between “”. Good to know. The first sentence should have been: “If I put ‘tp cost: 10%’ in a skill the skill always costs 10tp.”
I’m pretty sure that’s because the max TP set by default is 100 and the TP % cost goes by the max value of whatever it’s using. 10% of 100 is 10.
Yes, that’s exactly it. Percentage costs are taken from the maximum value, not the current. If you want to use current TP, you have to do it lunatic-style:
(custom cost: 10%TP)
(custom cost colour: X)
(custom cost requirement)
self.tp>0
(/custom cost requirement)
(custom cost perform)
self.tp -= self.tp/10
(/custom cost perform)
Replace X with your TP colour, replace parenthesis with triangle brackets and it should work.
Though I’m unsure whether the cost is subtracted before or after damage calculation. If it’s before and you are using a.tp in the damage formula, you’ll have to do some tricks if you want the original value (or just multiply by 10/9).
I’m wondering if there could be a function to do something like this:
Skill: Fire
SP Required to Cast: 50
BUT, when used, change user’s SP to 0. (Uses all SP)
You can do that in the damage box, just add it at the end.
For example:
a.atk * 4 – b.def * 2; a.mp = 0
Hey thanks! :)
It does work with hp and tp either, doesn’t it?
Yes, you can actually do a ton of stuff inside the damage box, including applying states, if/else clauses and more.
Fomar0153 talks about it in depth here: http://cobbtocs.co.uk/wp/?p=271
Well, thank you again ;)
NICE ONE!
I wish those custom-costs for Shops, too.
That would be awesome.
Hey there, love the script, was just wondering:
Can you set it up so you can have multiple ammo types (e.g. different types of arrows/bullets) and a skill can use any of them. So something like:
$game_party.item_number($data_items[1]) >= 1 OR $game_party.item_number($data_items[2]) >= 1 OR
$game_party.item_number($data_items[3]) >= 1
Then in the perform part have a Conditional Branch to make it use the worst ammo first?
Conditional Branch: [Arrow] in Inventory
$game_party.lose_item($data_items[1], 1)
Else
Conditional Branch: [Bronze Arrow] in Inventory
$game_party.lose_item($data_items[2], 1)
Else
Conditional Branch: [Iron Arrow] in Inventory
$game_party.lose_item($data_items[3], 1)
Else
Branch End
Branch End
Branch End
Is it possible that a skill needs 2 different items? How can i do that?
Can someone tell me how to display a variable as a custom cost, if it’s possible? I want to display the current amount of an item the party has as the cost.
I too am wondering this situation. On the custom cost section, I’m attempting to display the characters level plus a specific amount as the mana cost.
First I attempted:
<mp cost: self.level+5.
This does not work.
Second I created the custom spell all together, and used:
But this LITERALLY displays #{self.level+5} MP as the mana cost.
Is there a way to display a dynamic variable as the cost?
Hello, I love you scripts, all of them. Most of the time I find my own way of working out any problem I have with something involving your scripts but this time I can’t seem to find the problem. I’m using your cost manager to make potions cost herbs but whenever I use the skill to make it with the cost
$game_party.item_number($data_items[17]) >=2
$game_party.lose_item(($data_item[17]), 2)
it gives me a script error.
If anyone could help me out a bit, maybe i’m just being stupid about something or not seeing something that is right in front of me. :P
Thank you in advance.
Not sure why but it didn’t get the whole cost for the skill.
.
.
.
.
.
.$game_party.item_number($data_items[17]) >=2
.
.
.$game_party.lose_item(($data_item[17]), 2)
.
(custom cost: 3x)
(custom cost colour: 0)
(custom cost size: 16)
(custom cost icon: 1707)
(custom cost requirement)
$game_party.item_number($data_items[17]) >=2
(/custom cost requirement)
(custom cost perform)
$game_party.lose_item(($data_item[17]), 2)
(/custom cost perform)
Hopefully it works this time -_-
Add a space between the >= and the number that follows.
awsome scrpit, but i am coming up with an error when trying to set up a skill that uses an item to use it. here is the notetag i used in the skill. like up above
$game_party.item_number($data_items[2]) >=1
$game_party.lose_item(($data_item[2]), 1)
when i go to play test and made sure i hade the item needed to use the skill. with in battle i go to use the skill and i get this error message
Script ‘skill cost manger’ line 596: syntaxerror occurred.
untermined regexp meets end of file.
has anyone else had this issue, and knows how to fix it? Thank you for your help.
Check your spelling, the cases have to match. “$data_items” in the game_party.lose_item command.
Have the same problem …
Notetag:
$game_party.item_number($data_items[1])
>=3
$game_party.lose_item(($data_items[1]),3)
Any solutions?
I’m currently trying to have the player only be able to use skills while under the effects of a state, otherwise they’re greyed out. I tried doing this with my novice scripting skills and I keep getting a nil class undefined method error.
This is me attempting to code.
$game_battler.state_id($data_states[57])
The script error given states that ‘state_id’ is an undefined method, should i be using something else or am I going about this in the completely wrong way?
Scratch that, I found an alternative.
$game_party.lose_item(($data_items[2]), 1)
$data_itemS[x]
itemS
You forgot the “S” >.<
I didn’t, my S is right there, but its still failing for me.
Can you see the problem?
$game_party.item_number($data_items[2]) >= 3
$game_party.lose_number(($data_items[2]),3)
Sorry to bother everyone , but i am getting this error and i have no ideal how to fix it , this is happening when i try to use the skill, till then everything goes as it should
You have three “)” and only two “(“
I’m also having an error i cant seem to fix, try to use it same as above, but my error reads:
line 596: NoMethodError occurred.
undefined method ‘[]’ for nil:NilClass
the line in question is this :
#————————————————————————–
# new method: pay_custom_cost
#————————————————————————–
def pay_custom_cost(skill)
return unless skill.use_custom_cost
596 eval(skill.custom_cost_perform)
end
the same as above
I’m trying to make a skill that can only be used if a item is in the inventory (Arrow / Bullet) I have the item but it doesn’t work. In the skill note tag I put:
$game_party.item_number($data_items[66])
>= 1
$game_party.lose_item(($data_item[66]), 1)
Am I doing something wrong?
You did use the (custom cost requirement) and ” perform), did you?
Just putting those two lines, isn’t going to do anything, because the script doesn’t know what exactly you mean by the two lines, and you have to make clear that the first is the requirement, and the second is the perform.
Nice script too ^^ but i get a error xD hey :D nice script :D but i get a error if i equip a weapon ^^
Script Skill cost line 669: TypeError occurred
nil cant be coerced into float
Thats the error… where is the problem? xD
same error with Cooldown script… what shall i do? ^^
It’d be really nice if this script could gain compatibility with another script. They’re very similar, however, I greatly appreciate effects that both contribute.
This script shows Hp, Tp, Mp, and or Gold cost which is much preferred. The other script makes it much easier to make a skill use up items and even require that skills need certain conditions like a state to be able to use. Both are very useful for me.
This is the other script I was talking about: http://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?/topic/3345-skill-costs/
Oh sweet, thanks chump. Good luck with your problem, I’ve solved mine.
What about having a skill cost JP? What would go in the “custom cost requirement” and “custom cost perform” sections to make a skill cost JP? (Referring to the JP Manager script)
Hi I keep getting a error when i click on the menu the skill with the custom cost is in.
when i’m in battle and I click it the game crashes and says syntax error, skill cost line 577 unexpected tGEQ. What’s up with that?
Is there a way where the skill cost rises with respect to character level?
I’m scared of messing with the script.
Oh, I found a way. Problem is, how do I make it consistently display the proper MP Cost since the only takes string? Any way to declare a variable inside it or something?
Hi Yanfly i got a problem, when using your script(not even touching it just having it imported) with one of Galvs shorts scripts the game will hang, the script in question is very simple it changes the games base module of death from being 0 hp to 0 mp, its an essential in my game where i heavily modified the battle system, i`m just wondering why is this happening, his is a very short and simple script 10 lines, but i havent even touched yours and its cauing the battler who`s hp is 0 but alive to be unable to use any skills whatsoever. Any advice?
Hi yanfly. Good news for you: This is not a bug report!
I asked estriole to make a script so we could use formulas for the custom cost displayed in the skills menu.
The only function it has so far is leading to the user’s stats (cur_actor) and can take values from him like atk, level, to be displayed in the skills window instead of a fixed string all the time.
http://www.rpgmakervxace.net/topic/19812-skill-cost-manager-level-based-cost/
Is there a way to make the mp-cost based on the level? I tried this:
$game_actor(6).level * 5
Dosen’t work…^^ Can someone help me pls?
Use:
(custom cost perform)
self.mp -= self.level * 5
(/custom cost perform)
Don’t forget:
(custom cost requirement)
self.mp >= self.level * 5
(/custom cost requirement)
And make some cost out of (custom cost: lvl×3 MP) or something.
Is there any way to make a skill cost more than one kind of item? Like…it costs a potion and an antidote (for example).
Put the following in custom requirement:
$game_party.item_number($data_items[1]) >= 1 && $game_party.item_number($data_items[8]) >= 1
And the follwoing in custom perform:
$game_party.lose_item(($data_items[1]),1) && $game_party.lose_item(($data_items[8]),1)
It’s about the &&.
Hi, wonderful script :)
I would like to know if it is possible for an ActorA in order to use one skill to do it with an ActorB stats?
Example :
An evil witch wandering with his sla.. familiar and use the HP of the familiar in order to attack. (And not the HP of the skill user).
I can still do it via eventing but if the HP of the familiar is not high enough, it will display a message “Skill fail” and the player will use one turn for nothing.
Thanks.
Hello, just a question. There is a custom requirement for action X I have that pertains to the number of live enemies of a certain ID in the troop. It is satisfied when all of the battlers’ actions are set (therefore action X is added to the action list), but when the player attacks and kills an enemy, it nullifies the condition. Come time to execute action X, I think–although I am not sure–because the condition is false, my game gets stuck in an endless loop as it cannot execute the action X, yet it has already been set to be executed.
:(
Is there a way to prevent this engine from checking certain custom requirements right before executing the action to resolve this issue?
Hey guys, can anyone explain me how to make a skill only work if the target’s HP is 25% or under? I already used:
(custom skill requirement)
hp <= mhp / 4 # self.X = caster, X = other
(/custom cost requirement)
But that didn't work.
I have a quick question if somebody can help me, I added a Merchant class based on the one from Bravely Default and a cost I’m aiming for is 50 Gold * level. can this be done? I tried (gold cost = 50*a.level) and (gold cost: 50*self.lvl) but they end costing nothing and I tried (custom cost: 50*Level)
(custom cost requirement)
50Gold*self.level
(/custom cost requirement)
(custom cost perform)
50Gold*self.level
(/custom cost perform)
But they result in a crash when I pick Special, am I typing something in wrong? Can this even be done, any help is appreciated
I would also like to do a gold cost = to target’s max hp/current hp
I figured out how to make it work!!
$game_party.gold >= self.level * 50
$game_party.lose_gold(self.level * 50)
Tested it myself and it works perfectly.
use the custom cost requirement and perform respectively.
Hi, Thanks for the scipt.
I would like to now if its possible to do a ATK cost , a DEF cost and a AGI cost with a custom cost ? and if yes, how.
You’d have to modify the script to allow it to set states, which should be more than possible.
If you would like me to try and do that, hit me up on my mail.
Thank you very much. And, yes I’d be very happy if you try to do that. But sorry I don’t got your mail.
SioxerNic@hotmail.com
Where can I found it ?
Is there a way to give a skill two possible costs, one default and one optional?
For instance, a basic magical attack which costs 5 A-Mana and 5 B-Mana, OR 10 Z-Mana?
Add two skills, is the only one I can think off right now.
Using items or equip as a cost, does not consume after using a skill instead the items remain in the inventory. It’s still bugged
Is there a way to hide a skill if the requirements are not met? For instance, an archer can only use what arrows he has in inventory. All skills will be learned by default, but only available once he finds the arrows in the game.
For some reason everything is okay but the actual skill itself is greyed out. I am using the battle test to see if it works and everything is displayed correctly but the skill itself is greyed out. I made a custom skill to use 3 items for the skill to be used but I have 99 items of the item and the skill still can not be used. I have the tags in the skill set to use the id of the item and the number ‘3’ of that item. Is there something that I’m missing?
$game_party.item_number($data_items[101]) >= 3
$game_party.lose_number(($data_items[101]), 3)
//

//
//$game_party.item_number($data_items[101]) >= 3
//$game_party.lose_number(($data_items[101]), 3)

lol…..
(custom cost: x3)
(custom cost colour: 0)
(custom cost size: 20)
(custom cost icon: 2068)
(custom cost requirement)$game_party.item_number($data_items[101]) >= 3 (/custom cost requirement)
(custom cost perform)$game_party.lose_number(($data_items[101]), 3) (/custom cost perform)
Did you get this working, I am having the EXACT same problem.
I’ve been having an issue with the custom cost requirement for a while now and was hoping for some help, every time I try to use the skill I get error 596 here is what I have written in the notes part of the skill
$game_party.item_number($data_items[26]) >= 1
$game_party.lose_item(($data_item[26]), 1)
what am I doing wrong?
I need this to work otherwise I just lost 3 classes for my game
Hi,
I’m also having some issues with your script. When I try to use the Custom skill cost it doesn’t stop me from using the skill if I don’t have the items in my inventory.
I was wondering if this might be a compatibility issue with the Disgaea/Fire Emblem Skill System script by DiamondandPlatinum3?
hay sure Im not the only one to ask this but what custom scipt would I use to make the skill cost JP ?
Is it possible for the notetags to accept floating-point numbers?
Example:
Greetings one and all i seem to be having some slight issues trying to get the cost to be an armor, is it possible? if so , can anyone tell me what i should put for the custom cost reqs? here is a c/p of what i have in my notebox so far
**custom cost: 1x**
**custom cost colour: 5**
**custom cost icon: 431**
**custom cost requirement)**
$game_part.item_number($data_armors[62]) >= 1
**/custom cost requirement**
**custom cost perform**
$game_party.lose_item(($data_armors[62]), 1)
**/custom cost perform**
the “<" signs have been switched to "**" because i cant get the others to show properly
Hello!
I was wondering if it is possible
to make the requirement two items
(As in: This skill deals massive damage
but needs 3 potions and 5 ethers)…
I tried but the result was… A total failure…
Nevermind, i did it, but it seems i can’t
put two icons in the price…
I have the same issue.
I used:
$game_party.item_number($data_items[24]) >= 1 && $game_party.item_number($data_items[26]) >= 1
$game_party.lose_item(($data_items[24]),1) && $game_party.lose_item(($data_items[26]),1)
I want two distinct costs, 1 x item 24 and 1 x item 26 to display in the skill. Has anyone figured out how to do this?
Oops.
Let’s try that again:
custom cost: 2x
custom cost size: 18
custom cost icon: 101
custom cost requirement
$game_party.item_number($data_items[24]) >= 1 && $game_party.item_number($data_items[26]) >= 1
/custom cost requirement
custom cost perform
$game_party.lose_item(($data_items[24]),1) && $game_party.lose_item(($data_items[26]),1)
/custom cost perform
I have a little question. Is it possible to put MP cost in weapons, and make the character able to attack with that weapon only if he the character has that amount of MP?
Exemple:
Sword costs 10 MP
I have 12 MP
I make an attack
When I try to do the second attack, it’s impossible because I don’t have enough MP.
I am using Yanfly’s Extra Parameter Formulas script and I’ve edited the formula for MCR. But when I check ingame to see a character’s MP Cost Rate, it shows up as 100%. Does anyone have a fix for the Skill Cost Manager script so that it will take the formula I made for MCR into account when adjusting MP Cost Rate?
is there a way to make skills consume an armor or weapon in an equip slot?
I need this for skills that consumes arrows that are in equip slot 7.
im also using YEA weapon attack replace so bows use a seperate skill
Is there a way to change the cost display on a skill? It says it costs “one gold” next to the skill but I’m not using gold for currency in my game.
In the configuration section, there should be a section like this:
Gold Cost
In there, find this: GOLD_COST_SUFFIX
And change it like this:
GOLD_COST_SUFFIX = “%s\G” # Suffix used for Gold costs.
Where \G takes place of Gold.
I haven’t thoroughly tried it yet, but in Text Code, \G is used in place of typing out the currency, so theoretically, it should work without error.
In my current development, the currency is called ‘Arel’, so ‘Gold’ makes no sense to me to use either unless it’s an alternate currency which I don’t intend to develop.
I guess you no longer need to know this, but I’m gonna drop this info here in case anyone else finds the info to be useful.
In the script line GOLD_COST_SUFFIX = “%sGold”
Simply replace “gold” with the name of your currency.
For exaxmple:
GOLD_COST_SUFFIX = “%sRupees”
$game_party.item_number($data_items[17]) >= 1
$game_party.lose_items(($data_items[17]),1)
Then it gives me a error
Script ” line= 577: SyntaxError occurred.
Unterminated regexp meets end of file.
I’m having trouble with the script; in-battle it is displaying the amount of bullets incorrectly: Basically it always says I have “Ammo x1” no matter how much I actually have. But outside of battle; all the numbers are correct.
Hi guys.. The skill system I’ve been focusing on allows my level 1 skills to be as important as my level 99 skills, however the problem I’m running into is the level 1 skill costs would result in being able to cast it 350 times before resting. Is there a way to make the MP cost scale based on level? IE Formula: 1.10 x player level and have it just display the mana cost, not formula?
This website is just awesome. I’ve researched these informations a
long time and I realised that is good written, easy to understand.
I congratulate you because of this research that I’ll tell to the people friends.
I request you to recommend the gpa-calculator.co site where each pupil or learner can calculate ratings grade point
average marks. Have a great day!
2 years passed and I still can’t make 2 icon.
There is a fatal flaw within this script is that any target whether if it’s an actor or a battler that has 0 HP but not actually have Death state applied on them (ie. immortal targets) are effectively unable to use ANY skills except items and if anything other than the default battle system processing is used it will ultimately cause the game to stop working because the battle could not progress. This is a problem even on fresh projects as 0 HP targets cannot do anything yet forced to input commands.
A simple modification of Line 558 will resolve the problem of skills not triggering when target is at 0 HP after some testing. Might update further if I found further issues:
return false unless hp >= skill_hp_cost(skill)
When I set the skill cost to use HP for my Berserker Class (), his skills always miss. If I remove the tag from the skill notes, it works again though. What am I doing wrong?
