Cool script ^^

[TTrain427]

how do we use it on only one or two specific skills?

[DrDhoom]

see the module...
then, just add SKILL_CD[Skill id] = number of cooldown you want...

example:
SKILL_CD[1] = 1 # 1 cooldown for skill 1
SKILL_CD[2] = 9 # 9 cooldown for skill 2

[Night5h4d3]

This is a good looking script, but I have a few suggestions I'd like to venture.
You can put the cooldown color constant as a color type (this saves lines and an array)

CODE

COOLDOWN_COLOR = Color.new(255,0,0,128)

And people already know that a color format is in RGBA.

Secondly, instead of initializing the array, then setting the skills to cooldown, have the skills specified during initialization

CODE

SKILL_CD = [1, 9]

This way people don't need a new line for every skill, and they don't have to increment the SKILL_CD index for each new skill
(If you decide to keep your method on both of these, that's fine, but arrays start at the index 0, so you'll want to change that)

[InfinateX]

this is a neat script! Fortunatley I'm using tankentia so it will definatley work. BTW I didn't know WIJ made a battle script!

[DrDhoom]

@Night5h4d3: thanks for your suggestions... but i'm only change the color XD
@RPGMakerVX52: thanks

[Twin Matrix]

So what exactly happens visually when a skill is on a cool down? How do you see when it's available again? :3

if show_cooldown_number is true, there will be a cooldown number at the end of skill's name. if avaible the cooldown number is gone

[InfinateX]

I can't believe I didn't download this in May when I first found it! This is an awesome script!

[Desa]

Using takentai, and it has problem with line 124, could you check it?
Thanks!

If it was tested to work it could be an incompatable script fighting due to lack of aliases since the scripts were not ment to work together.

In order from top to bottom what are your script?

[clout1]

When in battle, guarding doesnt decrease the cooldown timer, can anyone help me with this?

[DrDhoom]

ukh sorry for leaving this thread for a long time... and this version have a bug... and unfortunely, i'm forget to bring the fixed version =_="
i'll update it soon tomorrow...

[DrDhoom]

@clout1: the cooldown still decrease while guarding. did you using tankentai or default battle system?

and i'm just updatet the first post... added reset cooldown when battle ended... and let me know if you have problem with this...
