    Restricting an ability to a certain class question...

    okay, we all know how to make abilities right? consider the following generic example: Lets say i have a warrior class who has an ability, say, "double slash" or something like that. now let's say the person playing the game makes this character into a wizard. now he goes into battle, and can still use the "double slash" ability. WTF? Wizards can't use swords!!! How would I restrict an ability so that only one class could use it? or, consider this, restrict an ability based on equipped weapon (i know, this would be ALOT more complex but would be extremely cool, but just how to do the former would be just fine)

    oh and on a completely different topic, Let's say there's a guy hiding behind a barrel. i want to make it so if you are standing on the west side, you push it east... and if you're standing on the east side, you push it west. right now i have it so that no matter where you stand, it goes the same direction. i know they do it in the sample game, but it's a real pain to look for stuff in it, because none of it is titled. thanks a lot!

    When you set the script to change the characters class you could also remove the ability in question.

      yeah, but if you changed your class back, would the character re-learn the ability? or would it stay removed?

        as for the barrel, when the character touches it have it run through a character direction check. You can make one generic script to use for all objects you want to be able to move.

        The script would look something like this:

        Game Data Load
        Sort: Party Direction
        Apply if 0 (i think this is east)
        Event move 1 space east
        To end
        Apply if 1(SE I think)
        Event move 1 space SE
        To end

        Do this for all directions you to be able to push it.


        TBS is coming shortly... I finally got off my lazy self and contacted Datel, so new Max Drive software is coming thus allowing me to release my TBS.

          Just do the same thing as when you take the ability away only reversed.
