Introduction
Nerf! Nerf! Nerf your favorite super duper skills!
Yes, even up to the point where your heroes can only use them once per battle!
Just add the Skill ID to the ONLY_ONCE_SKILL_IDS array and that's it!
Or add it to the ONLY_TWICE_SKILL_IDS to cast the skill twice!
Or Cool Them Down!
Just add the Skill ID to the COOLDOWN_SKILL_IDS and how many turns that skill should not be used and that's it!
Example:
Ruby:
COOLDOWN_SKILL_IDS = { 12 => 2, 20 => 4 }
And just in case you want to clear this skill use limit once per call:
Ruby:
$game_party.clear_used_skills!
If you want to clear the cooldowns ingame, use this:
Ruby:
$game_party.clear_skill_cooldowns!
