Thanks for the script this is exactly what I needed.

Though I have a question, would this script work with a multi-hit script?

It would work with a multi-hit script, as long as the methods I rewrote are not rewritten again.

I tried your script on my game yet it inclueds ATB, and overdrive as well as multi-hit scripts. Everything works fine except when I give the attack command. An error flashes and before I can read it the game shuts down. I think It has somehing to do with the Game_Battler section in my overdrive script , should I replace my current Game battler scrip for yours in both the ATB script and the Overdrive Scripts

[Ty]

Can you send me a link to these scripts? Thanks ^^

And don't replace anything in your Overdrive/ATB Script.

I know this is old but could you add some kind of limit break system? Like certain people or attacks that can break the limit? Or is that already in and I am just an idiot? >.>

I had done this before but not with Synthesize script.

@Synthesize: If you ever saw his request, you can do this by making an element that has a name of "Limit Break" per say and allow that skill to break the limit. (Meaning being able to go beyond the set limit of your script)

In any case, I'll try to look into it.
