"Salve" Skill (Final Fantasy IV)

[Spindaboy]

I'm looking for a way to recreate Edward's Salve ability from Final Fantasy IV. Basically it's the same as using an item, however the item used will affect the whole party. Also, I only want certain items (recovery) to be selectable.

Can you explain it a little more?(I didn't play FFIV)


like how skill work?did it consume item?did it just use one type of item?

I assume it's basically turning the effect of a 1 ally item scope into an All Allies item scope when he uses it. It's a passive.

Yep I am thinking to do that, but I want to be sure about this skill

I'm thinking the easiest way to do that would be with a plugin. Give him skills for the items in question, providing the benefit of the item, with the target of all party members. These skills would, in turn, cost that item as a resource.


ex. Salve->Potion would apply a potion to the party at the cost of a single potion.


Might be an easier way that I'm not aware of, but that one is pretty clean and doesn't involve a whole lot of effort unless you have craploads of items you want to use with Salve.


Yanfly has the plugin to do this, here's the link if you want it: http://yanfly.moe/2015/12/12/yep-43-skill-cost-items/

That's correct. It is the same as using one item, but it affects the entire party.
