    Skill that effects both user and target?

    Okay, so for my project I want to include a "protect" skill, where one party member can increase another party member's defenses at the expense of their own.  I've made two states, "protected" and "protecting" which do those things, respectively.  However, I don't know how to make a skill give...

    Learning skills when switching classes?

    There is a point in my game where your characters will switch (or evolve) to a different class. For example: your mage becomes a sorceress after completing her story events, this grants her extra MP, a slightly higher M.atk stat, and is SUPPOSED to give her access to advanced skills through...

    Normal attack state?

    So i've noticed that there's this one state called "normal attack" that doesn't actually appear anywhere other than the "Add State" list. So... what exactly does this do if you have a skill add the state "Normal Attack?"

    Displaying Skill Range Before Selecting

    Hi, its me again XD During battle I do not see the range of a skill until after I select it. This could be tedious for when I have many skills and am going through them one by one. Is there a way to display the range when I'm only "hovering over" a skill? Additional Info: I'm using...

    Branch of skills that can only target the same enemy?

    Hey guys! It's me again, with another question! I couldn't find anything on this. Maybe I'm stupid or I just don't search well, but I now have a problem with this. I am using Yanfly Instant Cast plug in, while this is lightly irrelevant I think it helps explain my predicament. I created a set...

    Skill Tree Theory and Design: Size, Leveled Skills, Balance, etc.

    Skill / talent trees are a way of granting the player choice in developing their character, particularly within the confines of a fixed class.  Yet balancing them is rather difficult.   How many skills does a good skill tree have?  Should skills be purchased with skill points from level ups...

  17. Skill Use Assistance Please

    Is there a way to make a skill or spell only usable a set number of times before a cooldown is applied. I've been looking at Yanfly's YEP_X_Skillcooldowns plugin and its great for cooldowns, but cant find a way to have it used <X> times before that cooldown is applied. Example of what I'm...
  18. yanfly's auto passive states and equip skills plugin

    I'm using both of Yanfly's plugins, "auto passive states" and "equip battle skills" there's other ones i'm using, but they're not that important. The problem is, even when the passive is not equipped, it is in effect. (The actor knows the skill, it's just not equipped.) I don't know how...

Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
