Okay so I decided to look into Lytanathan's Dual Wield Separate Attacks script because it hands dual-wield damage calculation in a more favorable manner than the default system (the script does not combine the parameters from both weapons which is good) However it doesn't exactly work in my favor because dual-wielding in my project is simulated by 2 separate Attack Skill calls.
The script works by force-changing your weapons to work as if the first weapon is the only one equipped (slot 2 being nil), performs the calculations/damage, and then repeats for the second weapon slot as if the first slot was nil.
Basically i'm trying to modify the script using maybe variable conditions so that for the first time the attack skill is called and this processes, it will only do the first slot weapon stuff. Then when the attack skill is called again later (note that in between this time nobody else will be using the Attack skill but the same dual-wielding actor) and this processes is called, it will do the second slot weapon stuff only. Then after this it will restart all over again for the next dual-wield actor who needs to use the attack skill twice. The whole thing is already conditioned to only work if it's an actor and if dual-wield is applied, otherwise the regular apply_item_effect stuff works like normal.
This is the base script for my modification attempts. For the sake of proper project convenience I changed it to an overwrite instead of an alias which does not affect anything for me compatibility-wise.
I was thinking of separating the whole thing into 2 parts, and using a variable-checking case statement to determine when to use each part.
Edit: I managed to do the "split into 2 parts" idea and solved my issue.

That is ok. I know the rest of the Actor 3 Set...
Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
one bad plugin combo later and one of my followers is moonwalking off the screen on his own... I didn't even more yet on the new map lol.
