Skill hotkeys in battle

[piksalh]

Hello!

There are hotkey scripts for action battle systems but what about vanilla battle system? Is there any way to select skill (there are only few of them in my game) with keyboard input instead going through battle menu? P.S.: my game is one player party game.

Example: 1. battle starts 2. player pushes keyboard button "P" 3. System selects skill#1 4. Player chooses target. 5. Happy end!

Any ideas how to do it?

You'll also need a custom keymap script to actually let you use those hotkeys

I've moved this thread to RGSS3 Script Requests. Please be sure to post your threads in the correct forum next time. Thank you.

Thank You for the answer! But the script does not work for me. I set switch 1 on but the special menu to use or save skill/item just never shows. It either uses item or does nothing. I tried script on clean version without any custom scripts. Do You know where is the problem?

You may want to send me your project so I can inspect the issue further
