I mean about the scene is because the demo link is broken and i need to added it into menu
The menu i use is Ring menu VX...(http://www.rpgmakervx.net/index.php?showtopic=3152)
And i test it but it directly call one actor...And that's why i'm ask you...
Well, i'm troubling you again

[leongon]

I see, well... is Scene_SkillTree, but you need to do actor selection first in your menu script. Check that menu script's intro... it should explain how to set menu command that requires prior actor selection. I did on mine.

THanks for telling me the demo link is broken... I'll check what's wrong ><

Allright people, the demo link is working again >< Now I hosted it in a more reliable system, and also is direct download again... it means you click the download demo button on the first post of this thread, and you get the file right ahead.

This script is awesome!! I've been looking for something like this for awhile now, thank you soo much for scripting it and sharing it with the public!

I'm having a small problem with it thou, Im kinda a noob with scripts and can only figure out what to do by following dirrections. This script is kinda complicated, but i'm figuring most of it out from trial n error. I started making a skill tree for the hero in my game, and when i went to test it an error pops up everytime i try to access the skill tree saying,

Script 'Leongon SkillTree Core' line 264: NoMethodError occurred.
undefined method '[]' for nil:NilClass

the core script says to leave it alone, and i wouldnt know what to do with it anyway.. Is this error a bugg or problem that others are having? or did I just do something wrong when i was playing with the setup script?

[leongon]

The error on that line makes me think that you are calling an arrow object in the skill tree building section, and that specific arrow object name is not created yet in the arrow object section.

This script goes like this: you create arrow objects -> you create skill objects -> you organize those arrow and skill objects into trees.

Unexistant arrow object seems to be your problem, so check your setup script again. EDIT: At a second look, it might be an unexistant object... arrow or skill... you're calling an object name in the tree building section, that you have not created in arrows or skills sections.

Thank you for your help. I looked through the script and realized I kept the ARMS tree and skills but removed the arrows, which is what caused the error. I removed them and now it's working perfectly.

Are you planning on converting this script to Ace? As of now, there are no skill tree systems out for Ace and yours would be the first one.
I really like the amount of customizability and the idea of having multiple skill trees.
There is one additional feature I would propose though: Stat increases and additional traits (for Ace), that are gained, when unlocking nodes in the skill tree. So basically, nodes, that do not unlock skills, but rather grant passive bonuses.
Sincerely

[leongon]

There are plenty of Passive Skill scripts to be used for that functionality. I made one, is not the best, but does the work.

About converting to ACE, ehmmm is not in my plans. I'm merely giving support to my scripts by now, but not scripting anymore.

[Kali3]

I may not be good at scripting, but I just can't make this compatible with YEM. Any help? Each time I go to main menu, I get an error report.

[leongon]

What is YEM?

[Kali3]

What is YEM?

YEM is Yanfly's Engine Melody. I am using it 'cause it's awesome. If you would like to check it out, download it here:

Hope you find a solution...
Have a nice day.

[leongon]

Oh, an engine. Well is not a surprise that scripts not specifically made for that engine does not work... they are altering most of the base of VX.

Sorry, but I won't dig into that engine to find a solution, too much work for a retired guy (i don't develop scripts anymore, just give some guidance) Look into the main menu script of that engine and try to follow it's directions on how to add a new command with actor prompt, if it has instructions. The skill tree needs to be told which actor's trees to open, so is necessary an actor selection from the menu script before launching the Skill Tree script.

If that does not works... then just don't command the skill trees through the main menu, open it through NPCs maybe, using the commands I made for accessing the skill trees with script events. THe info to use this method is described in the script's header, and also very explained and exampled in the demo.

Ok. Thanks, I'll try to make it work.

I'm no good at scripting, and i've tried fixing this and i cant find a solution.

i get this error, yet i dont get what is wrong, i used the script just like the demo, Any idea?

You're using a file name for a background image in a skill tree, and this file does not exists in your folder.

Make sure to do it as I stated in the first post of this thread: "Background Images:
If you keep Imageback Mode enabled, you must have images matching the unique names of your trees in Graphics/System folder."

Sollution: Disable imageback mode in the setup script options, or put the images with matching names for the skill trees you created.

Hope it helps~

I tried disabling it and got error on line 115.
Also i copy your scripts along with the images from your demo, so every image has the exact name as on the script, still i get the error 671 if i dont disable the image.

[leongon]

Error in 115 looks like is about not having a skill trees asigned, in the last part of the setup script, for the actor you're trying to open the skill tree scene.

Make sure in the last part of the setup script your actors have the skill trees asigned to their respective class in the database of your project.

Look how is the database in the Demo, for further reference.

I used the id1 with paladin (id1) and got the same error, however i changed it to a random new class (id20) and it started working for some reason.
I'll try some new stuff and let you know how it went.
Thanks for the support, really appreciate it.

[Matte_0710]

Hi, I tried this skill tree, to me it's very good and i'd like to use it in my own game. So in your demo it's everything ok. Then, i moved the two scripts (Setup & Core) in my project, in which I use the Ring Menu that i'll post below, without copying also your Main Menu Manager, because i already have one.

end

I call the scene SkillTree, from the menù ring but when ingame i open the menù, clicking on the "Talents" voice it returns me the following error: "Wrong numbers of arguments (0 for 1)". So I added in the 4th option of the menù (where i put the skill tree scene) "start actor selection", thinking that the problem was about the actor index. But it keeps showing me the same error. I haven't changed nothing about the Setup & Core script, and considering my low knowledge in ruby, i don't really know what to do.

If there's someone who knows how to fix it i'd be really grateful ^^

(I apologize for any error in the writing, i'm not mother tongue.)

At first sight it looks like your settings are correct for the ring menu, so just make sure the skill tree setup and core script are both above the ring menu system and come back to tell what happens, I can try to find a way to help further after you check this.

If your mother language is spanish I can help you in that language instead, but I can't handle anything else °3°;
