KDualWield & Accessory Skills

XP + VX + ACE

by Kyonides

Introduction

Do you want to force your heroes to equip two weapons and probably even an accessory before they can use that super cool skill you have come up with?  
Now you can do it!

The XP port works in a totall different way so I am skipping publishing the code here for your minds' sake.

You will need to use 1 out of 2 Note Tags on those Skill Note boxes to make it happen!

VX Script

Code:

# Force your heroes to equip specific weapons or even an accessory as well
# in order to be enabled to cast a specific skill.
# NOTE: The Weapons Order does NOT matter here!

XP Has Not Been Neglected!

Just as you have read it above, XP has got its own port of KDualWield!
Yet, I have to admit that I have not included any custom equip scene there. I simply added the new methods dual_wield and dual_wield = true or false and that is pretty much all you should care about.

 Of course, you will need to setup a couple of Constants, but that is nothing you have not done before if you have become sort of an expert in using  XP Scripts.
