How do I display skills for the players?

[boyflea]

Hi,
in VX Ace, you can review SKILLS for each player in your party. As you level-up, you learn more skills based on your class setup.

The SKILL menu does a great job listing and showign SKILLS learned... but.
Say if you wanted to let the player decide which CLASS to go for during generation: it would be really helpful to list ALL SKILLS on the SKILLS menu, learned and pending.

So here's the thing: are there any methods or scripts which would list ALL SKILLS for a player class in the menus, learned and unlearned? Unlearned skills could still be accessed to review what they do, but obviously not used.

Its a fairly fundamental feature, but I'm struggling to find a method that would allow me to do this: pointers very welcome, thanks!

You would need a script.

ah I see, so I assume this topic is in the wrong section.

would need to investigate, under 'Window_SkillList'
1/ how to create a replacement for class Window_SkillList < Window_Selectable
2/ how to re-write this logic to show ALL skills:
def make_item_list
@data = @actor ? @actor.skills.select {|skill| include?(skill) } : []
end
3/ and then how to manage it being usable or not-usable, despite both types being displayed:
def enable?(item)
@actor && @actor.usable?(item)
end

I might have to consider another option, where all usable skills are shown on one screen - and then all possible skills available shown on another 'class' screen - or similar.

ok, thankyou for your response - apologies for being in the wrong place again.

I am at work and don't have my laptop with me, so I can't check the exact details.

Under make_item_list you would need to add an additional check to see if the skill is in the list for the actor's class. The current test needs to stay, in case you give skills in other ways apart from levelling up. I expect it will be something like this:

@data = @actor ? @actor.skills.select {|skill| include?(skill) } <and something here to also include skills from the actor's class, but not to duplicate any of them when the actor has already learned them> || []

and under enable?(item) you would add a test that the actor has learned the skill.

I am not sure what the include? method does - it may be necessary to also call that when looking at the class skills.
