KSkillNeedsState
XP + VX + ACE

by Kyonides Arkanthes

Introduction

Do you need to restrict the usage of a skill by forcing the hero to get a specific state first?

Now you can do that!

In XP's case

Adjust the Constants you can see below as deemed necessary.

module KSkillNeedsState
  SKILL_IDS = [57]
  STATE_ID = 17
end

In VX & VX ACE

The only thing you need to do is leaving a very specific note in the skill's note box.

_need state ID_

Replace ID with a number.
