Tekentai ATB- Skill Activation Script help, Using an addon and need help configuring Options

[godlock2006]

Im using the Tekentai side view battle system with ATB and recently found an addon that makes it so you can press a button when you activate your skill and if you press it at the right time you get a damage increase........... Well Im kinda new to scripting and I realize this is pretty basic and I think I know what to do I just dont know EXACTLY where to put the strings and the spacing required.

Heres the script I think Im supposed to use to apply the activation to custom skills....


#===============================================================================
#Make Skills & an example
# Script by CrimsonSeas
#===============================================================================
#You don't have to create your custom skills here. If by any chance you already
#made some custom skills and you're too lazy to paste them here, you can just
#add the keyword "Activation" somewhere in your finished skills.
#it's perfectly fine if this part is empty, I only included this as a template of
#some sort
#==============================================================================
module N01
#Make skill animation set. For best result, use these commands in the beginning
#of the Action Hash:
# ["START_MAGIC_ANIM", "52", "Activation", ......]
#"Activation" is the most important, it will call the activation window.
#As for value after "START_MAGIC_ANIM", set is to be:
# START_MAGIC_ANIM's Pass value (default is 52)
#===============================================================================
##This also demonstrates the disabling patch that I made. Since this animation
#took quite some time to reach activation process, I decided to use the disabling
#patch to disable command input.
ACTIVATE_ACTION = {

"TEST_MIDDLE" => ["Cmd_Disable", "START_MAGIC_ANIM", "52", "PREV_STEP_ATTACK","WPN_SWING_VL","OBJ_ANIM_WEAPON","WAIT(FIXED)","16",
"PREV_STEP_ATTACK","WPN_SWING_VL","OBJ_ANIM_WEAPON","WAIT(FIXED)","16",
"PREV_STEP_ATTACK","WPN_SWING_VL","OBJ_ANIM_WEAPON","WAIT(FIXED)","16", "Activation",
"Cmd_Enable", "PREV_STEP_ATTACK","WPN_SWING_VL","OBJ_ANIM_WEAPON","Can Collapse","COORD_RESET"],

"TEST_ACTIVATION" => ["START_MAGIC_ANIM", "52", "Activation", "PREV_STEP_ATTACK","WPN_SWING_VL","OBJ_ANIM_WEAPON","WAIT(FIXED)","16",
"PREV_STEP_ATTACK","WPN_SWING_VL","OBJ_ANIM_WEAPON","WAIT(FIXED)","16",
"PREV_STEP_ATTACK","WPN_SWING_VL","OBJ_ANIM_WEAPON","WAIT(FIXED)","16",
"PREV_STEP_ATTACK","WPN_SWING_VL","OBJ_ANIM_WEAPON","Can Collapse","COORD_RESET"],


#This is for activation action,this only calls the activation, which then links
#to another skill. Notice that this has no Linking Anime Hash, but it will still
#link to a skill specified in the Activation Property Config. This makes the
#action hash reusable, which saves the time of typing many Activation for each
#skill. Of course you can have more than one Activation Action.

"ACTIVATION_ACT" => ["START_MAGIC_ANIM", "52", "Activation"],

#This BLANK is important for the varying hit number and the continue activation,
#because with this the "BLANK" can be made to any kind of Action hash depending
#on what you wrote down below. Scroll down to see what I mean.
"BLANK" => []
}



ACTION.merge!(ACTIVATE_ACTION)
#Make anime hashes here
ACTIVATE_ANIME = {



}
ANIME.merge!(ACTIVATE_ANIME)
end

end
#This part defines what action set to be played after the repetition is done
temp.push ("Can Collapse", "COORD_RESET")
N01::ACTION["BLANK"] = temp
return "BLANK" #See how the blank is useful?

#This is base_action for the continue skills.
#I made it slightly different from what was requested, cause I think this
#is more flexible.

#add a failing action set (Like in FFX Tidus has a different animation when
#Blitz Ace failed.)
