Hi,


I've got a skill which I want to keep track of the usage of. In the skill's effects, along with it doing its thing I have tried to call a common event which increases a variable every time the skill is used. However, this common event never gets called during the battle, and waits until after the battle and all other events have finished before finally activating, which is useless. What this indicates to me is that common events called by a skill don't work at all how I was expecting them to. In that case, how do I keep track of the usage of a specific skill?


I've attached the skill sheet thing as an example. I just want to call that common event WHEN the skill is used.
