FF Style Status Menu

[Panda_Artist]

Good Morning / Day / Afternoon / Evening everyone.

I have a request for a script

I would like to have an update to the default status window, mainly in the style of Final Fantasy Games. 2 new elements I'm looking for are the following:

1. display the actor's battle command window, including the skill types available to that actor, and the ability to scroll through that battle command window by pressing right on the keyboard /gamepad (just graphic, I do not want the battle command window to do anything at all in the status menu)

2. Displaying a variable set of windows displaying every skill the actor currently has in order of skill type. The windows would be opening by pressing the OK key. Once to open one window, then again and again to display more windows until around window 5 or six then the skill list window dissappears

I have made a few mockups for better understanding of what I am looking for




After pressing OK once



After pressing OK a few more times


After reaching the number of skill list windows available.

Pressing Cancel will also return to the "default" window with only the commands as above.

ONE more thing. When looking at the skill list can the Actor Switching with Q and W be disabled?

I am also using Yanfly's Battle Commands

I was able to modify this script a little.

ZS Skills on Status Menu

ZS Skills on Status Menu // Forum request. Shows an actor's skills, and an optional toggle feature. Customization: Adjust the amount of skills shown. Adjust the toggle button + whether or not you wish for toggle to be enabled. Screenshots: Setup: Paste under the Materials slot, above main...

forums.rpgmakerweb.com

But it is not interactive like you want.
It just shows the skill commands (my mod), equipment and skills learned, by a toggle.

Can I look and the code and try it out on my game?

Can I look and the code

I doubt it will be what you want. The skills are limited to 6 (what fits on the screen)

I just reworked it knowing you would ask to have more than 6 skills show.
here is where you can see 12 skills. and I restore the original script to have just the two option. So one screen now shows the equipment and commands together then other shows the 12 skills.

Spoiler: 12 skills
