Any help appreciated
I'm making a system where actors equip accessories and acquire progressively better skills from them as they gain experience with the item, but only as long as they have the accessory equipped (FF7 materia, basically). This meant that A.) the basic add skill trait feature of equipment wouldn't work, because it would assign all the skills at once (Heal I, II, and III) and B.) the equipment learning plugin I'm using wouldn't work by itself, because then the skills would be permanent. By using equipment learning and the show/hide features of skill/state core, I was able to pull off exactly what I wanted.
