Yanfly Skill Core: Custom Execution Effect

[xDRAGOONx]

Greetings,

I've been trying to use Yanfly's Skill Core plugin to create a skill with a custom effect that will check the current scene and then activate a switch if the skill is used from the menu. I am trying to have a skill that's usable in battle and on the map that will behave differently in each scene. After searching for a while last night, I ended with this:

Spoiler

<Custom Execution>
SceneManager.is(Scene_Skill) ? $gameSwitches.setValue((50), true) : $gameSwitches.setValue((50), false);
</Custom Execution>

*NOTE: I am not fixed on this one single method and, while this is something I am interested in learning, I am also open to alternative methods of achieving a similar result. I recently spoke with a fellow game maker who is working on the exact same concept and his result was to use 2 plugins, one that runs a group of events at the start of each battle and one that runs a set of events at the end of each battle. Personally I'd rather work with the skill directly and leverage a plugin I am already using.

Thanks!

Maybe this?

$gameSwitches.setValue(50, SceneManager._scene instanceof Scene_Skill);

I.e. if on the skill scene, turn on switch 50, else turn it off.

It worked perfectly! Thank you so much!

Also, thank you for the link to the reference page. I am currently learning JavaScript and I'm just about done with the basics, every resource helps!
Thank you again for your help!
