How could I make it so that when you enter a battle, there is only Skills, Defend, and Item. I figured out how to make it so that it says Skills, Defend an Item, but then when you press Skills you attack, and when you defend you use a skill, so on a so forth. I know this would be fairly easy to do, but I'm useless at scripting. Can someone please help me :)

That was the question asked.

Copy/paste the code below to a new slot. What it does is remove the "Attack" option from the selection box (happens in def main around line 20), which I believe you managed on your own. It also changes what command happens when you select a certain index in the box (happens in def update_phase3_basic_command), which is required because the default battle system checks what index your selection has, not what the text there says.
