MicKo's Skill Tree - Revised

[DerVVulfman]

When someone describes the syntax of a statement, they include parameter values that are replaced. Even the default scripts work like that. So the 'Game_Actor' initialize method in the default scripts that read:

Code:

def initialize(actor_id)
    super()
    setup(actor_id)
  end

... When you load the 2nd actor, the value of actor_id is set to the value 2. When RPGMaker XP passes the value of 2 into the method 'using' the actor_id value as a placeholder, it treats the method as...

Code:

def initialize(2)
    super()
    setup(2)
  end

So when I said the syntax read as

Code:

$game_party.actors[actor_index].skillpoints += value

.... you replace both the 'actor_index' value with 0 and the value applied.

So if you ONLY want to apply points to the lead party member, use...

Code:

$game_party.actors[0].skillpoints += 4

(where this one is applying 4 points)
