Replacing basic Attack command with a different skill on a per weapon basis?

[JtheDuelist]

Like the tile says, I want to replace the basic Attack with a skill based on the weapon equipped (ie: axe has a stronger formula than a sword does). Is it as simple as setting each weapon to "Remove Attack"+" Learn *attack replacement skill*"?

So basically number 5(starts at 5:30), except with attack.
Just watch this and used the same thing but instead of gaurd replace, using attack replace:

Your using this plugin:

You can modify the basic attack somewhat using traits- speed and number of hits, mostly. If you want to actually swap it for another skill, you need a plugin: there's one included with the default files called "WeaponSkill," or you can go for Yanfly's Weapon Unleash for some deeper options, like changing Guard as well, or having individual actors / status effects replace one command with another.

To give a bit of background on why this requires a plugin: Actors don't "learn" the Attack or Guard skills. The Attack and Guard commands on the menu are normally hard-coded to use Skill #1 and Skill #2, regardless of what those skills actually do.

@Zarsla @Doktor_Q Considering some of Yanfly's plugins, such Buff and State Core, don't work well with the SRPG battle system plugin (http://hikimoki.sakura.ne.jp/plugin/plugin_srpg.html) I am using, I'll try that tomorrow morning and if it doesn't work, I'll just use what I have right now, which is each character has both Attack and a "Advanced Attack" skill that has the right formula.

It's exactly what you're looking for.
So you can have different formulas for different weapons.
So your axe might have a higher damage formula but comes with lower accuracy.
Or maybe your daggers get bonus damage based on your speed.
Etc. etc. etc.

@Zarsla @Doktor_Q @Silenity That did the trick. Thanks!
